Bugged vipers fixed ?

[waflob]

Hi all,
tried the search, but didn't find anything, hence this post.

The first time I spawned vipers in a nihl key run, they absolutely obliterated my whole army of skellies and merc in about one second, with the familiar machine gun sound effects. However, the last 2 nihl key runs that spawned vipers didn't do that and I could easily kill them off, with a complete army intact.

afaik, the gear is the same, so I'm wondering if the vipers are different. Can anyone else confirm or refute this ?

to my knowledge viper damage is still bugged, especially the poison jav. As for your two different experiences, probably due to a unique boss present on your first run.

The vipers are still bugged as of yesterday.

well, this is weird !
It appears I may have been a bit quick with the question, as yesterday, the vipers were definitely machine-gunning my army.

Still don't understand why it was easier the last 2 times. One possibility is that not all servers are running exactly the same version of the software. Doesn't seem likely though.

I dunno ...

"The vipers are not bugged. They are acting the way they are ment to" I remember reading that somewhere in a blizz interview or something. If they are ment to do thousands of dmg then sure!

unless the realms version of d2 is meant to be bugged to hell

because SP tomb vipers aren't bugged

They are in my game. :undecided: Same skellies that can withstand an Extra Strong, Cursed, Fanaticism'd Lister-pack with Decrepify on them is completely obliterated within seconds when they come up against merely 3 of those Worms.
