Shard of Love bug

[Blackluck2]

<p>Killed all the named mobs in SoL but the chapel doors did not open. Killed the remaining mobs, doors still did not open. GM's unable to assist due to it being a new zone.</p><p>This was on LDL.</p><p>Not sure what other kind of informationdetails might help.</p>

[GeminiStar]

<p>Same thing happened to us, all I have to say is WTG Sony devs for rolling out another broken zone.</p><p>Also whats with the no loot in the zone, nobody wants to waste time for some crappy pet morphs, house items, fireowrks, and appearance.</p><p>All I have to say is this stuff had better be able to be turned into a real items somehow or else that zone is a total fail and nobodyw ill go there for anything except a few AA kills if even that.</p><p>It's also WAY too easy, redo the loots in the zone and make it more fun.</p>

[Helmarf]

<p>I havent done the zone yet, and maybe its fun with something different like this. And we all like to do different stuff and all that bla bla bla etc <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" /> but TBH all this fluffy pink teddybears, purple flappy wings, weird apperance armour etc has gone lill to far! The majority plays the game for killing stuff!</p><p>So instead i suggest!</p><p>1. Fix server lag</p><p>2. Fix game performance</p><p>3. Fix Class/racial balance</p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p>100. Add pink fluffy stuff</p>

[Mystfit]

<p>There are PILES of raid zones and hard group instances, why begrudge a player who likes the fluff a zone to play in?When someone links in an item in level chat, my hubby checks stats, I check appearance. Finally, a zone for my playstyle!</p>

[Dannnybones]

<p>Do you play a healer?</p>

[Lizzoraus]

<p>This really is one of the dumbest zones they could of released, a shard zone with only apperance armor? This entire game update was a /fail imo, a terrible group zone a copied achievement system that isnt even good not to mention screwing up grandfathering all the achievements if you have 200 AAs and killed anything you didnt gain AA for you didnt recieve credit for the achievement <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" /> the achievements they put out arent even creative, yay for killing the end boss in every group and raid dungeon. I can only hope this update was so terrible because they put all their effort into the next expansion.</p>

[Elorah]

<p>I LOVE this stuff.  I cant wait to get in there today!  I am not a raider, but I enjoy the fluffy side of the game.  It may be a fail for some, but believe me, there are alot that are loving this zone!</p><p>The game is not designed for just one play type...  they try to please as many as they can and this one pleases those that enjoy the fluffy side! </p><p>I believe that they also implemented a new raid zone as well....</p>

I wouldnt be opposed to it if they had real items in the zone also and dropped an appearance item or house item along with something else or atleast gave you void shards for running the zone. + its just stupid to have the god of valor that easy, the fight is easier than just about every heroic fight in the expansion.</p>

[Elorah]

<p>Haha! See that is how much of a non raider I am....  I used to raid in KoS, but I became burnt out quicly when it felt like a second job.</p><p>Where is Crucible?  [Removed for Content]...  I dont group up much either..  I just found Befallen for the first time today...</p>

[Gungo]

<p>Its a 2-3 man fluff zone that provides appearance gear.I think the difficulty is fine considering who wants to get a full group together to farm appearance gear.</p>

Did you get mad that the Haunted Mansion at Nights of the Dead didn't have any major fabled loot? Did you complain that it was too easy? I guess you are going to whine endlessly with the x2 Headless Horseman and the group Labyrinth they're adding for Nights of the Dead which all reward appearance gear because it's not giving out FABLED and because it's not hardcore requiring raid gear.</p><p>You've got 28 heroic level 80 zones with TSO and Kunark. You've got two x2 raid zones, five x4 raid zones. A fluff zone added for 2-3 players (husband/wife, casual players, etc.) with appearance gear really should not be ruining your day.</p><p>More comments here:</p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=459262" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=459262</a></p>

[Yimway]

<p>I think it says something about the eq2 community that some /rail about a persistent fluff zone comming in however they have no negative reaction when such zones are seasonal or short term content.</p><p>I think if SoL was a seasonal zone around Erolsi Mar day or whatever, we'd see almost no complaints. </p><p>But the second you make it a persistent zone outside of a festivity, people get riled up about the lack of rewards.</p><p>I'm not sure I have a point, other than thats a really odd dicotomy.  Why is it only acceptable by these haters if these fluff zones are seasonal?</p><p>Personally, I'm not sure if/when I'll even do the zone, but I certainly recognize there are a ton of people that will enjoy this content, and as long as they aren't getting set pieces, shards, progression gear, etc from 3 maning this fluff, I have absolutely no concern.</p>

[Dasein]

<p>With the proliferation of set armor, everyone pretty much looks the same, if not for appearence slot items. A zone like SoL isn't going to have items that come close to even your T2 armor, so why bother with itemization beyond looks?</p>

[bks6721]

<p>I love the new zone!  Nice change of pace from the daily 'shard grind'.  I've met some nice new friends doing this zone who aren't the typical min/max players with egos the size of Jupiter.</p>

[Jovie]

<p>Most of the responses in this thread show how raid gear affects zone difficulty. An average team or two or three would have a hell of a time doing this zone.</p><p> *edit* hit enter too quickly.</p><p>Other than the above, i enjoyed what i saw and did with the new zone. Haven't gotten into the temple but the rest is nice.</p>

None of us are in "raid" gear at best we are wearing T2 armor and stuff out of WoE.</p>

[Leia]

<p>For all those winging about this zone it is ment for fun not loot and there is quests to do this game is call everQUEST not everLOOT</p><p>for me the zone was fun and enlightling that i can just get a few friends and blast though i zone and a few new quest thanks SOE</p><p>but to my sorrow which is why this thread was started we was bugged and the chapel door didn't open i am assuming these is becasue everybody didn't have access quest complete although they can zone in to the zone is this the same for everybody if we get to the root cause of the problem maybe soe can fix it instead of just moaning about loot</p>

[Xalmat]

<p>What order are you guys killing the named in?</p><p>I do it in this order, and every time I do the door opens.</p><p>Willowmeena (Fairy), Thane-Malach (Dragonfly), Woefulness (Drake), Valoron the Just (the Griffon).</p><p>BTW, I soloed it 100% as a Conjuror, start to finish, <em>unmentored</em> (level 80 version of the zone) <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Spammer]

Im not too worried about a bug in this zone. its got to be, without comparison and by a mile, the most boring, unexciting, dullest zone in the history of any MMO. I zone into my room, with a mirror on the wall and its more exciting than SoL

[kelesia]

<p>I raqn into this bug. We hadn't killed everything in the zone before the  griphon. We had however killed all the nameds</p>

[Mörk]

<p>Sorry, can't help with the bug or any unsolicited opinion on the quality of the zone...</p><p>... but I would like to lol at "Love Bug" in the title <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Lady Shai]

<p>Same issues here with the door bug....we found finally that if we killed the fairy LAST the door would open. Personally i think  it needs to be fixed so that either any combo of the four names opens the doors, or that the quest TELLS you in what order.  It was VERY frustrating to get to the door and that was it. GM couldnt help us either....</p><p>However grats to Lafey in our guild group last night who discoed the wings last night...we finally got thru the door and got our guild a server disco on wings <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Lady Shai]

<p>And really what is with people dissing the zone? If you don't like it then dont go. See? EASY!! Some people like this ...if you dont then go somewhere you do like. Don't be bashing people who like the zone...thats why we have the ability to say "No, I dont want to go" and not go inside? Not a hard choice....</p><p>Geez.</p><p>Its nice to have an appearance only zone imho. I love the SoL and plan to go back again...being a conji I need a supply of the morphing wands for my pets <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Valdaglerion]

<p>We hit the same bug as did several on our server that I know of. Agree there needs to be some sort of change to it, be it a designated order or any order. Clearing everything in the zone, 4 nameds plus doing the 2 additional quests in there and door wouldnt open.</p><p>I tend to agree that the zone is really easy but it was supposed to be. It was deemed a "small group" zone of average geared players. So with that being the intent they succeeded. I do, however, think the appearance only thing is a bit of a fail. The zone should drop at least treasured gear as well for the difficulty level.</p><p>I think it would be more useful for many however, to make a lootable version of the zone and amp the difficulty as an OPTION. It would be nice to have another smaller zone to get through in a reasonable time for quick play.</p>

[Jeeshman]

<p>When I saw the title of this topic I was sure the discussion was going to be about a new movie where a scrappy, animated Volkswagen competes in a race across Norrath and engages in funny hijinks.</p><p>I'm so disappointed!</p>

[Nuhus]

<p>Did it with 3 people, 2 80s and a 72. Mithanial Marr took 600k hp of damage from us before he finished.... It's dull as hell at that rate. I'm not sure if there is some HP issue since we took a 72, but it was mind numingly slow. Thane took 527k, Woefulnes 509k, Valaron 668k. Fairy name didn't spawn for some reason... Trash mobs about 200k hp</p><p>I knew it was fuff, I wasn't expecting good loot. But it was painfully slow for a fluff zone. It wasn't hard as the mobs don't hit worth a crap just boring as ever.</p>

[Lacieone]

<p>My husband and i did this with his warlock and my templar, we're raiders and still had fun !  We did the zone in no particular order and once the names where dead the door swung open. we both had the access quest done so not sure if that might be some ppls issue. I've heard there are fairy wings to be had in the zone sooo ill be going back and we found a ton of sparklies!  Was fun a nice change to the every day shard grind!</p><p>Sydnie Templar of Paradox</p>

Neither of us are raiders. I have a few items from raids before TSO, but not a heck of a lot, neither of us have shard armor or anything like that, even. Mith took a bit of time, but wasn't espiecally hard. The rest of the zone wasn't that bad. A bit of a challenge at times, but neither of us died and there were no real problems. </p><p><cite>Lady Shai wrote:</cite></p><blockquote><p>Same issues here with the door bug....we found finally that if we killed the fairy LAST the door would open.</p></blockquote><p>We didn't kill the fairy last, and the door still opened. We did the lions/griff first, then the fairy, the butterfly drakes, then the bugs over the goo pool. Hopefully they get the bug resolved soon, though!</p>

<p>I luv fluff...!! <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" /></p>

[Elorah]

<p>OMG! this place is awesome for fluff lovers!  I went in with 2 friends and sadly we could not kill the nameds <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Only one of us had T1/T2 shard armor.  We were a monk, Zerker and Templar and had the worst time..  [Removed for Content].  But it was still fun for us.  One of the guys in the group got the bow and kindly passed it to me for an alt <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> too girly for him I think....</p><p>Can I just say that I LOVE the fluff in this zone?</p>

[Ahlana]

<p>I did this with my wife and a dual comp character. We did alright only in T2 armor (myself) She and bot where in T1. Was Bruiser, Templar (her), Assassin (dual comped). Killed everything but Mith Marr (had power problems), called in some help but no wings. Noooooooooo!</p><p>I got the Sai and Bow. Not to girly for me :p I pretend they are blood drippings not petals lol. Love the zone will be back.</p><p>EDIT: I did not Experience the bug though. Named Kill order, Drake, Dragonfly, Fairy, Griffon. Doors opened for me. 2 in group had done access. One in group had not.</p>

[Cyrick]

<p> Have run this zone everyday sense the patch and luckily have never run into the bug where the doors did not open after killing all the ring events. Imho it is a fun zone, now granted for the group of people I run it with it is not hard at all. My only complaint is that I have a bag full of fireworks that I will not use, and that some of the items are still class restricted even thou they are just appearence/fluff items.</p><p> Good job on doing something different that some people will hate because it does not give them there I win button</p>

However We didn't get the Fairy Named in the forest area to spawn for us the one time this happened to us. That's prolly why. We killed every mob in the zone, nothing on track, nothing in the trees, just a broken ring event i guess.</p><p>it was just my GF and I duoing the zone.. We stopped half way through to do a raid, and then picked it back up after the raid, thats prolly why it broke :-</p>

[Wulfgeist]

<p>I was sort of excited about this zone at first but I'm really starting to get annoyed. Not for the fact that it's only fluff stuff, I like fluff stuff. However, I'm not a raider and only just got my second pair to 80 and haven't even started working on getting shards for them yet, wearing all mc and some legendary quested stuff ..so therefore I am out of luck. Even mentored down to 70 and unmentoring inside doesn't work for me. I run out of power before Thane and Willow have even taken 10% damage due to their billions of hp's. The other named winds up 69 and grey and for some reason an easy take-down. I belong to a very small family guild not in the same time zone so it's not easy finding someone else on to go in with. pug's are out of the question. For no real impact fluff items...why? I could understand this if these things were dropping masters or something and probably would just shrug and go on.</p><p>A small group of us did go in and do it over the weekend and we got some okay fluff items but another thing I didn't understand was the petmorph wand that dropped, form of the spirit lion or something. No-trade. Again, I wonder why..none of us were a pet class. Again it's merely a fluff item, something cool but certainly not game-changing, making me wonder why this would be no-trade and not heirloom so someone could loot it and perhaps pass it on to one of their pet class alts.</p>

[Arielle Nightshade]

<p>I'm disappointed in the zone.  I have been going in trying to get a couple of the fluff items (buckler and wings) for a level 60ish group - only to find out that those items are level 80 items, and will never drop for us in a zone that has scaled to our level.</p><p>If they are fluff items, why the heck aren't they level 1 - appearance, like everything else in the game is (for appearance)?</p><p>It's not worth doing more than once under these circumstances because the loot is awful - even full/house/appearance stuff.  We can't get the good things and the same 2 (no trade) items drop over and over. </p><p>Not worth it.</p>

[Seidhkona]

<p>20% or more AA every run is not bad, which is a reason to do it even if you don't want appearance or fluff gear.</p>

[Ambrin]

<p>I did this boxing a warden (77, was 76 going in) and my monk (very well geared, lots of ward procs). The only boss that gave me any trouble was the dragonfly because he would charm my monk and kill the warden, than he would reset. I finally got it down by equipping all my mental resist gear to push my resist up past 15,000. I than got bored and pull the entire area with the fairies in one pull. With all my wards going the mobs didn't even damage me, I only ran into trouble near the end when most of the mobs were dead and not proccing my wards, I actually ran some of the mobs out of power!</p><p>I do enjoy doing the zone, it is pretty fun and the appearance gear is nice as well, it's also good XP on the warden. Overall I think Sony did a good job with the zone.</p>
