Evolution.1758 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Anyone remember way back when the pact cannons brought the Claw down "for good!" They'd actually shoot the dragon's wings off? I miss it and I'm curious why they changed it. It's probably something depressing like saving memory by only having one model, I'd just like to know once and for all!

Kadsik.9281 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Finally found an old thread talking about it. So I also was wanting to ask these questions for a long time. Although I'm not sure why I didn't. Anyways, it has always confused me as to why they removed the Claw's wings from getting blown off during the second phase of the fight. I can't even seem to find out exactly when they changed this either. But more importantly, I've done this fight hundreds of times since launch, and the one other problem I've noticed was that Arenanet also made the Claw's screeching and roaring way less audible then it used to be. Most noticeably again, during the second phase when it blows players back. I just want to finally get some closure on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadsik.9281 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 And if people don't believe it, go search up some old videos of the fight on Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 It might have happened when they modified the fight slightly to try and force players away from "no hit" zones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The screeching and roaring might have been reduced because it caused pain to some players.But that's just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synk.6907 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Back when some of the world bosses were updated, one of the changes was to remove the wings getting blown off when the Claw is brought down by cannons. This was to accommodate the case of the event failing and the Claw taking flight and leaving [edit: though you won't see any mention of it in the relevant patch notes].Personally, I think the wings should've stayed shot off, but if the timer ends and the event does fail it should burst out new ones instead.
