So this is a discussion about Sotzz in his current state.
Background of me: I run guild missions for a large guild of over 400 members and have been doing this since bounties where first released. Before the update, I mapped out every single location that Sotzz can spawn in, and the map can be currently found on Dulfy.
Anyways, now to the actually problem. Sotzz used to be that bounty that took a little while to find, but once found he really was not going anywhere. It was a decent concept that could be avoided by finding him beforehand. However, this really was not a problem since you had to worry about 14 other bounties to find during tier 3 bounties.
Jumping past the patch, and now getting Sotzz is pretty much an automatic failure. It is impossible to find him beforehand due to his new mechanics, and I guess it can be somewhat understandable. However, the problem now is that he literally only stays in the place you find him at for less than 2 seconds before reappearing somewhere else. This makes it almost impossible to activate him as he disappears before you can activate him. I was doing a tier 2 bounty today, and he popped out of his barrel and then almost instantly disappear leaving no time for me to due anything.
This causes a few major problems:
1)You cannot even activate the bounty and kill him anymore. You have to literally spam the button to activate him before he disappears in less than 2 seconds.
2)Lets say you get lucky and do activate him, you now have a champion mob that can literally 2-4 shot anyone in the game and you now have to survive until help shows up. If you do not survive, he just despawns and you are back to square one.
3)Lets say some random stranger finds Sotzz instead of your guild. Sotzz will sit there for two seconds and then respawn both him AND his barrels. Since he is completely random, you now have to go back and look at all of the locations you just searched. But get this, you don’t even know to do that since a random person found him and your guild didn’t, so you don’t even know he reset again.
He is either bugged or rather poorly designed now. This was obviously not thought through beforehand.
So now, during a tier 3 bounty, if we happen to role Sotzz, we will literally sit there and wait for the 15min to expire and then try again. I will not have my guild sit through this impossible RNG that is Sotzz to get it done, and rather take my chances on the other targets. I rather sit there for 15min instead of trying and failing(which is almost guaranteed) instead of wasting another 30min finding all the targets again.
