[Reported] Scarabi shiny spell is actual a nerf, not a buff!

Somebody DID add a tag to the thread title, meaning either a CX person did at least read (albeit not reply to) the topic, or the OP added it themselves. The forum software could really benefit from a proper moderator tagging system…

I got Scarabi to Shiny level 2 yesterday.

And this is from another account that has only shiny lv1.

@Jeto
Bumping this as it has been mentioned again recently in another thread and despite being marked as reported still hasn’t been resolved.
Let’s hope you don’t need any legendaries by this shiny guff.

Should be going out with a fix in the next 48 hours

I appear to have gotten this fix, confused with the Shadow Wraith fix - so this will be getting a fix, just not confirmed for the next 48 hours as previously mentioned

not fixed yet

Still the same.

If it was changed or fixed, we would have updated the thread.

I am still waiting to hear back from the team about this one. At the moment I am swamped with GW issues.

It’s been three years since this was reported. It should be a simple fix. Why does it take this long?

Scarabi’s shiny spell is the non-shiny version but with a random 0-50% reduction in damage. Please explain why it’s so hard to fix? I’m a programmer myself, this seems like it’d take 5 minutes to fix.

Not $$$$$$$$$$ related

Plus like 2 devs left

Be a nice easy one to knock out so they can say they got something done tho. Like taking 3 years to pick up a sock n put in laundry. Good job!

@Jeto next Guild War is Drifting Sands, when does Scarabi get fixed?
This is unbelievable!

I wonder what’s going on behind the scenes here. Someone picked a wrong entry in a dropdown when configuring the shiny spell effect, fixing it should be a matter of minutes. And yet the issue has been in status reported for over 3 years now. Is this some internal competition who can drag their feet the longest? Or just nobody left who knows how to maintain the data?

I’m following up on this today - and will chase up (again) about the fix possibly going out next week

What’s the odds that the devs are so annoyed about being asked to fix this again, that they just don’t decrease the damage on the shiny 0/1 levels :rofl:
Fixed!!! Shiny is better :ok_hand:

I’ve been following this up again because there was a change going out, but I feel like it isn’t addressing the actual report that shiny lvl 2 does potentially less damage than lvl 1

And now I am waiting again, for a response to that..
It could also be me misunderstanding the new changes.. so.. if that’s the case.. my bad

The change should go out after weekly reset, was the last update I was given
