Ascent of the Awakened

<div></div><div>Umm why would a spawnable mob that takes hours upon hours upon hours of clearing 1mil hp trash to get 4 eyes to spawn 4 mobs to get 4 items to spawn a x4 mob DESPAWN AFTER TWO [Removed for Content] ATTEMPTS OF FIGHTING IT. I guess some guilds kill [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] thier first try but we sometimes we need several attempts to A) see what the mob does AE wise melee wise etc. B) time to rez people after a wipe C) nail down a winning strat.  Leave the 1 mil trash mobs, leave the [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ty pathing AE crazed overpowered blue under conned [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]....I don't care about that.. But what is the purpose of the mob despawning?</div><div> </div><div>There is absolutely no reason for this [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] after we're required to farm for hours upon hours upon hours before we can even spawn it. If you feel the need to make it despawn give us more than 30 mins, try 4 hours that sounds like a nice number, if you can't win after 4 hours than despawn it but 30 mins is rediculas.</div><p>Message Edited by Ratty31 on <span class="date_text">03-20-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:25 PM</span></p>

Not sure where you are getting the eye spawned mobs despawning after 30minutes, its more like 5 minutes.....................Farm an eye off 5 billion hp mobs, 8hrsWipe once, poof.Just wrong.<div></div>

each individual floor isnt that bad, but when it comes to the x4 its a lil dif... thats 4 floors worth of work despawningin 30 mins, and then not letting you do the x4 again for another good bit of time. Kinda crazy. o well. back to farming<div></div>

<div></div>I think the despawning mob that Koenig is referring to is not actually the individual mobs of the 4 floors, But The Big Bad Protecter himself....So yeah, I'm just gonna jump in and complain too because what happened to us last night was absolutely ridiculous.... If someone spawns the ^^^Heroic Dragon on Fear Tainted Isle for The HQ and cannot kill him, he stays for at least a day..... so why is it that a lvl 74 Epic x4 that is extremely difficult to even spawn would despawn after a mere 30-60 minutes.... Like Koe Said, Sorry that we aren't all uber like some other guilds and we don't have all kinds of leet info from Beta or "whatever", but we spent approximately 50 Hours going through all of the necessary crap to even spawn said Dragon only to be given a whopping 30 minutes to try and kill him. I agree that all of the adds and other little tricks in the encounter are fine, but c'mon, at least give us more than 3 pulls worth of time to figure out a good Strategy.I am starting to think that this game is designed so that only 1 group of people that seem to have obseen advantages over the rest of the world, are the only ones meant to even be able to do these quests.Edit :  I would really like to see a Dev response here as to why the "protector" would despawn only to have us be told "the time is not right" to try again.... Please tell us that that was a bug and it will not happen again.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Gimmisome on <span class="date_text">03-21-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:02 AM</span></p>

Absolutely insane.This would be like farming eyes for the Godking, only to have the zone boot you out after 30 minutes.  But worse, because there is a LOT more competition for these items, the mobs you have to farm are crazy bugged with huge HP and insane respawn times, the zone has no worthwhile loot... wow. So yeah, if this is as intended, I'd like to know now so we can all go play Oblivion or Ghost Recon.  70 hours of farming extremely frustrating content for a 30 minute shot at the mob is just not on.  And since that mob is part of access to Deathtoll, we'll be stuck forever at 1 actual zone to raid per week.  As much as I love the new content in KOS, DOF at least <u>had</u> raid content.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

<div>I was also at this lovely event and my computer almost went out the the front window along with my love for this game.   I can under stand the x 2 named having a short timer if you can't beat some of those named you shouldn't be raiding.   The Fire and Ice Dragons are very ineteresting and fun x 2 mobs.   Then you get to the big daddy dragon x 4 mofo after you get all your fun items you need to spawn this bad boy and like everyone said before we have 2 good attempts on it get it down into the red twice then we wipe, we had a third pull but didn't go well and mob resets and poof dragon is gone.   This had to be no less then 30 mins and no more then 60 minutes and then stupid dragon despawns.    This is so stupid that we spent all that time farming for items doing silly ring events, killing silly mobs with ungodly hit points to only have a mob despawn on you.  </div><div> </div><div>This is going to be a major probelm in the future as other guilds try to get access to deathtoll.  Can't wait to hear what others think of this once they get to this part.    </div>
