Remove the bosses death animation for "A Burning Memory" world event

[atomic prairie]

I just fought my way solo through this world event and only had 10ish seconds left when I killed the boss. The world event failed only because of the bosses death animation of it sinking into the ground taking too long. If it would be possible to remove the death animation.. or make the world event flag as completed when actually killing the boss that would be appreciated.

I don't know if this is a possibility for other world events too, but if this could be widespread considered it would remove the frustration of being robbed of a completion because of a death animation.

LMAO

i'll see what can be done

[atomic prairie]

I am so miffed right now

I'm only level 63 too, and burned through all of my healing potions

[ember storm]

i like its death animation it, but itd be nice if all mobs with a drawn out animation like that actually counted as dead when it starts, not ends

[wraith holly]

that world event is really rough

[wraith holly]

this isn't really possible with the way the internal mob system works

[dim prism]

Is this the bane world event

[ember storm]

main thing i can think this applys to besides burning memory is all eyes on you, some mobs slow down waves cause of their animation

[ember storm]

tragic

[wraith holly]

because some mobs do some important things on death

that the thing should wait for and it'd be weird to have it would be weird to have it inconsistent

[atomic prairie]

Yeah, Bane of The Great Bridge

[wraith holly]

i'll try to just make its death shorter in the world event

[atomic prairie]

Death animations are cool n all.. but if it could just instantly die for the world event I wouldn't complain

Especially cause everyone already sees the death animation at least once through the quest to even get through the bridge xD

[wraith holly]

eh i don't really like it when mobs jsut disappear for their death

it should just be way quicker

[atomic prairie]

Alrighty, understandable

[copper wagon]

A lot of places could benefit from death registering before the animation finishes, a decent amount of we and lootrun challenges progress much more slowly due to it

[spring meteor]

Murderbot invasion too or whatever that south corkus event is called

Those dudes take five seconds every wave to explode and then you can't even be damaged by the explode

[thorny reef]

the corkus wes, ahms monuments and all eyes on me

[barren cairn]

Hmmm...

Is it possible for the we to end when boss hp reaches 0 so chests spawns while boss still does the death animation...?

[bronze plinth]

this IS a confirmed bug js

[trail ocean]

i completed it on lvl 20 assassin not related, just wanted to flex.
i didnt know it existed and i wanted to go to jungle at lvl 20

[trail ocean]

dummy mob that dies when hp of actual mob hits 0 and the event ends when dummy mob dies?

[swift shuttle]

Wtf 😭

[atomic prairie]

Yep

[amber lava]

Make it si enemies on the final wave don't have death animations.

Can we not add a „considered dead“ field to the mob, or does wynn‘s mob system not give the slightest sh*t about the basics of object oriented programming

I must admit I have not seen the code for the wynn mob system, but if you‘re already saving custom health etc. It should be possible to just add a new field and then check for entities that are considered not dead via that field instead of just living entities

[wraith holly]

I should have been clearer

The problem is that mobs being considered existent during their death sequence is the correct behaviour in all cases

It's on ct to change mob behaviour so mobs disappear in a timely manner when they die in a time sensitive environment

Making an extra parameter rule for this in the way op described would both be dev work and rarely ever used

[civic drum]

Even in vanilla mobs still count towards the mobcap during their 1s death animation tho idk if that is at all related to how the wynn system works

[copper wagon]

Those are some evil intentions

[cloud panther]

why in the world does it need to be like that

[timber light]

workaround idea: pause the timer after the mob dies? it will play the full death animation without being in danger of running out of time

[barren cairn]

-# wait...

You are saying you can kill the miniboss and STILL lose to time out...?

Sure that almost never happens but yikes...

[timber light]

that's what OP is saying

[wraith holly]

it's just not quite that easy

some mobs do some relevant attacks on death where the mob dying doesn't mean it's safe yet

and at a certain level this just becomes hairsplitting

i'll see to reduce the death time on the mob, there really needs not be much more done

[cloud panther]

On that note, the various longleg gripper-type mobs in All Eyes on Me I feel take too long to despawn, and really make the flow of the event awkward

[copper wagon]

pvz shrooms and explodey mechs

[sharp schooner]

so this is why I have to wait an extra second every time I have already finished a slay challenge in lootruns, but the mobs are still doing their animation...

(very annoying)

[wraith holly]

i will say some mobs have confusingly long and uneventful death animations that should be shortened
