Right now a few people that I know are hunting and still farming him. So he isn't gone.
.....

Really? When I checked him earlier the Jumping Jack symbol on the floor wasn't there, there was a grey smudge instead as though the symbol had been erased. Performing the emote on the spot did nothing. I'll go check again next time I can log on. This is on PC - what platform are your friends on?

Perhaps Ares (earlier post) is right, they have moved him.....I hope so, I never actually got to test him although I know he was (is?) very hard.

I was hoping they didn't remove him, because I have been actually wanting to shoot him or another dev(in game of course, not IRL) for a while...

Seriously??
Well as much as I'd like to know, I'd rather his appearance in-game not advertised around at all/even if only those select people you know are the only ones to ever still hunt him. It's comforting to know effective loot acquisition hasn't been fully snuffed out just yet, another freakin fail for the devs.

He was very difficult on heroic/going for ideal loot drops.

Even if you had one player running riot foam & blinder/swapping between the two effects on him as 1-3 other players shot him, you had to stay on him perfectly. The amount of armor he had was insane & he could pretty much one shot any player if given the chance. His drone was no laughing matter either, that thing was a pain if he had time to deploy it.

PC. I got to kill him a few times myself. It was in the same place. The loot was meh, but I really wasn't killing him for loot. It was more of the experience.

Yeah, the guy + his drone can one shot a person and break a shield with 10s' of million armor with his shotgun. He is no joke. It was a group of 4 of us, and we had to be very careful about how we cc'd him. Also had some sewer assassins show up and attack on one round of killing him.

lol that's exactly what happened to on of my teammates during one go at him!

I was sticking & blinding him/things were going great, until I saw an underground guy climb up behind a teammate & knife him in the back. It was frustrating but hysterical, because it screwed the whole thing up for us.

I never seen reasons for stealth nerfs or changes. If they would have removed a boss, what could be the reason for not including that in the patch notes?

Many times things just happens

That I agree on, I think there could be many reasons why OP couldn't get that specific boss to spawn.

I don't think a stealth change from the developers is one of them. It being bugged out seems way more likely given the current state.

I mean he could have alos been removed due a bug, we reached a point of uncertainty in bugs that is dagenrous close to critical mass
