Chimera no cloud

I learned today there are suppose to be clouds in this fight you're suppose to find Chimera hiding in them? I just thought the invisible phase ended randomly.

I see no clouds. Actually garbage.

Lots of posts stating the same and they are years old. So I'm guessing this trash is intended... cool.... =/

Feels like a bug as many have said before. Are hardcore players just suppose to use quicksilver and pray? Like wtf?

I've never not seen smoke once and if I die during smoke phase, they stay in smoke phase until I finish it. Not seeing smoke is more of a client issue than an actual bug that GGG will be able to fix. Could be corrupted files, very specific graphics settings, any number of video card or other hardware-related issues, etc.

Just to confirm, here's a random clip of the smoke phase (ignore the OP post, they had no idea how smoke phase works):

If you're not seeing that at all, then you'll want to start crossing off the list of things to check on your end as GGG can't fix any of those things listed.
