How to NOT Bug the Split-Ti Hunt

On Tuesday we praised the weekend heroics by the devs to help the players with the bugged 1-Star Hunt “Split-Ti”. Today we turn our attention towards the players and discuss how you yourself can help to make the situation for everyone more bearable. Many players successfully complete the Hunt, and it’s not just luck.

Solo Split-Ti

Like… How about not bugging the encounter in the first place? It’s actually rather simply to avoid the infamous state in which Split-Ti gets stuck. It seems the bug does not occur in case the summoner’s party deals the majority of damage to all spawns that appear during the fight. So either make sure no other players is around when luring the Hunt or go in with a potent group.

Some players also suggested fighting Split-Ti away from its spawn point. We’re not sure this one is crucial, but it can’t hurt.

Last but not least, this hint was added to the patch notes of August 17th:

[su_quote]Note: We’ve noticed certain cases in which Spli-ti leashes unexpectedly, then ends the encounter. This can possibly be avoided by destroying the larger-sized enemies before moving on to the smaller-sized ones.[/su_quote]

Beware the Trolls

Unfortunately even doing everything right yourself is no guarantee. While you might know the details, other players that randomly walk by might not. For whatever reason a lot of players are still attacking Hunts of others, either not knowing that they won’t get any drops from it or trying to complete their weekly quest. If that happens with Split-Ti, bad luck. You can try to whisper folks but the damage might already have been done by then. And it doesn’t help with trolls that intentionally interfere. Additionally you obviously need to find an instance where the encounter does still work.

So is it possible to complete Split-Ti at this point? Absolutely. But you definitely need to be careful who is around. Try picking an empty instance and run with your highest DPS toon.

In any case we cross fingers that tomorrow’s maintenance will bring salvation and players will finally be able to complete Split-Ti without any trouble.

    Not really, you just need to be in a party and don’t let outside members kill it or do much dps. All other stuff is just talk. I kill it solo and in parties and it doesn’t matter who does the dps and who summoned. Also doesn’t matter cave position and killing speed. ^^

      side note: a party is not needed, but if anyone else gonna dps Spli-ti they will need to be in the same party as the summoner or it will bug because the quest (that appear when you use your lure) won’t trigger the final form.
