No boss citadels on the Atlas – bug? PoE2 0.4.0c

Like, I can understand mechanics that are broken like temple and people abuse them because yea it was perfect use of game mechanics...But they had like 4 leagues to think of a way to make citadels worthwhile while making them a thing to be sought for.

I never thought they will make them so rare that you have to waste 50 hours for a damn citadel...

I think I should buy all the fragments for 1000 ex kill the arbiter and see if this fixes the problem.

Technically I am just tired of them introducing something not tested and fixing it after, but not fixing things that seem bugged...They will never finish the game by introducing more bugs, and more mechanics while not fixing the things that are core tot the game.

Coming back with an update after further testing... After finding one citadel and doing it the other ones lighted up like candles...

Now I need to test something next league cuz now I am jinxed, is if you do a citadel with a friend does that light them up like normal ?

Last league one of my friend called me up when he did a citadel and after 2 maps i found 4 citadels one near each other lighted up :/

ya im very curious how this is bugged. i haven't had it bug on me yet, i find citadels like crazy
and once i find one, there are always at least 2 more within a half a screen from each other

right now i have 16 citadels bookmarked in my atlas, about to run them all now, and i don't see any evidence or reason why i can't find more either

Yea, exactly my point, I ended up going in a direction for 50-60 maps, finally found one citadel very very close in the fog, after I did that, every citadel after lighted up screens away in the fog.

Crazy and seems to be bugged or a interaction we do not know.

Same issue, second season in a row, but now on my SSF charachter (lv95) i found loads of citadels, maybe too many lol, on normal league i could not find ANY citadel (got a lv94 + lv90) . This is not even the first season i get this bug, world maps could have plenty of citadels in some cases, and none in other cases.. I'm quite sure this is a bug, it's completely different from my SSF character, it was quite easy to find them there, in every direction.
Please it's impossible to progress like this.. could this be fixed?
Even if I buy the fragments, i would also need to complete the quest in the citadels.. and I am unable to on normal league..
Same issue, lvl 92 no citadel in sight no matter how far I scroll in any direction into the fog no light beams whatsoever. Seems bugged or ridiculously rare yet again.
My experience has been similar to what other folks have shared ... still no Citadel. I am also experiencing the "bug (maybe it's a bug?)" where the Citadels do not show through the fog of war. This is just not acceptable. Neither is saying that the game is in EA. This is one of the critical components of endgame yet it's still not functioning properly. My frustration at wasting all of this time mapping to find out that there could be bugs related to finding Citadels and/or simple bad RNG is beyond me. I guess at this point simply uninstall and move onto the next game. Well done GGG!
Geonor is over-tuned to all obvlivion this league so don't worry too much about finding Iron Citadels. Over a 35k EHP and millions of DPS, but his beams just tear through your build like tissue paper. And this is using a waystone with almost zero modifiers that harm my build (focusing on Chaos, bleeding and poison while running CI). The beams he spawns up from the ground are poorly illustrated, we need far more visual clarity. Those tiny little beams somehow do damage to the surrounding 8-10 feet for absolutely no reason. And he will cast it the MILLISECOND that he becomes unfrozen, it's truly disgustingly tuned in a bad way. Geonor Season 1 in comparison was absolutely NO WHERE near as formidable as he is now, and that's why the price on those fragments is so drastically higher then any other. But for anyone not able to find a citadel...you just go farm from the starting point, it's extremely easy. Anyone without 5-6 citadels...it's a skill issue idk what to tell you. Stop clearing every single map near the starting point, you branch out in a direction immediately and keep going...very straight forward

All of them are north. only ever go north and youll find them because thats where they are. If you dont see any skybeams, just keep going north. works everytime.

Ignore all other directions.

(just pick 1 direction and go in a straight line to uncover them the fastest)


it dosent work.

i played league and hit level 93. i stayed more time trying to find a citadel or abyssal boss. NOTHING.


So I decided to delete it and back to the standar. I'm tired of wasting my time on a failed league.
