Brewday Festival'10 Feedback and Bugs [Archive]

Brewday is now active on Test and Test Copy! Grab a stein and celebrate Brewday! The shouts of rowdy patrons located near every player city will lead you to The Bar of Brell where adventures both new and familiar await those thirsty and foolhardy enough to enter. For those looking to celebrate this festival in their own tavern, Balin Copperfoot in The Bar of Brell can provide you with several tradeskill recipes! Meanwhile, the Avatar of Below has returned to Antonica. Help him find the best sampling of drinks from all around. And as you're crawling through the bars and drinking holes throughout Norrath, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for special items of interest to collect! The event is currently set to run 3/11/2010 through 3/22/2010 on the live servers. Please assemble any feedback and bugs that you may find in this thread. Thank you, everyone! ~Kaitheel (edit to sticky thread)

We can't do the Ale Goggles quest again this year? iirc it had 2 rewards and you chose between them. I hope you guys have the Brew purple shinies in more than the bar and possibly up the pop. Seems to only be 1 up at any given time.Edit Add: Did you guys move Brell or forget to pop him? Not in his usual area nor on track. found him .. /shrug

There are quite a few quests you should be able to do again., including Ale Goggles.Returning features: "Snoogle's Presentation" still has plenty of reward choices."Beers for Brell!" offers 2 new reward choices."Brell's Everlasting Brew" offers 1 new reward choice. "Ale Goggles" offers 1 new reward choice. (A VERY useful one!)Please let me know if you are having troubles receiving any of these!Oh, and as for the collection, you will find it very useful to travel the world and visit as many bars and taverns as you can find!~KaitheelEdited to remove my error of listing "Liquid Courage" as a quest. It is, in fact, one of the new reward choices for "Beers for Brell!" -oops!

Can't get Ale Goggles with Test.Kaisha .. --Had to camp out of test 'cause they are patching but I'm a wee bit confused on the new Quest .. I *think* it's telling me I need to get snockered an go harvest something. But, I did a quick look-ey lo around Ant using the booze we get for the presentation (didn't think you'd gate 1 quest on another but figured I'd give a go) .. and .. also with just reg. purchased Alcholoic Ale .. can't see anything new and don't know where to head to she doesn't give a hint on that part. I'm itching to see what the recipe makes from Brell .. *g*---Edit Add: I just noticed that we get a email. But, no free beer? We get roses for Eday and a Frostfell Card from McScroogleMore add: ... I *think* I understand what you mean by very important reward item from the Ale googles. I had to create a new character to be able to see the rewards. None of my charcters who did the quest last year can get it again.Even more add: quote: ""Liquid Courage" offers 1 new reward choice." .. huh? I did the streaking but it didn't give me a quest nor a reward. You guys changed it so that the bottle was given to us by Brell not the ghost anymore.

Solved the riddle, love how the reward looks! Great work.One problem with the quest. It showed complete and told me to go back to tell the NPC the answer of the riddle long before I even found my first bush, and it didn't change/update at all after I found the last item. The emerald one took long, I don't know how high the percentage is, but I had over 20 or even 30 of some of the other items. I don't know if it is wanted to be so rare.Her remark about going back and continuing (after I found the first items) was helpful.Thanks, Kaitheel. that was once again FUN!Purr~PS: Could we please get a choice to which city we go when we leave Brell's Bar? Kelethin is really kind of out of the way. Having a choice between the good/evil cities like with the Frostfell wardrobe would be nice.Added: I'm also not sure if it's wanted that you see the bushes with the >normal< goggles, not requiring the quest reward ones.

yah cant redo quest for goggles on someone who did it last year. im hopeing this is an oversight.

Perhaps put a temporary pair of goggles on the table next to the npc for ust to grab?

Please check to make sure all quests can be repeated by those that have done them in prior years, as most have new rewards available. I suggest the purple shinies in the Bar of Brell be increased. Currently it appears that only one spawns at a time, and the respawn rate is random. The spawn rate can be slow if only one person is looking for these, and I shudder to consider what it will be like with several people in that small area trying to get them at once. Another option might be to move them out into the general area around each of the portals into the bar. This will spread them over a larger area and having several up at once would become feasible, while also opening several areas for people to find them rather than all trying for the same ones at once and jamming up the bar.

As I have said, it is intended that all of the quests from previous years can be obtained again. There is no need to try to convince me that they should. I already agree. And the fact that "Ale Goggles" was not being offered again was indeed a bug. Thankfully, I just identified the issue and have corrected it on my side.I will be looking at the collection and the seperate issue that you can use the original Ale Goggles to see the harvestables, next.~Kaitheel

I just meant that maybe you could double check all the other quests to make sure they didn't get bugged, too. Didn't realize the Ale Goggles given to do the quest were not supposed to be able to see the harvests, but that does explain getting the "improved" goggles as a reward. I was a bit confused on that point. So basically we should have to do the Ale Goggles quest again to get the new goggles before we can do the new quest, right?

Of course if you get duplicates then it will take longer.I saw it was already mentioned that Valla's quest said completed before you turned it in, I wasn't sure of the godly step because the quest hadn't told me I got everything and I kept on picking for awhile after. Not wasted though, since you need the items for crafting.

what about that 'Liquid Courage' quest you have mentioned. Didn't notice a seperate quest for that nor did I get a reward choice from the ghost for stripping down.Did I miss something or what? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/136dd33cba83140c7ce38db096d05aed.gif" border="0" />

I didn't see a "Liquid Courage" quest, just a sub part to the 'Brews for Brell' quest. I drank one of the drinks and it threw me out into the water smashing up against the docks, though. heh

Are there suppose to be shinys in NQ's Irontoes East? I have yet to see any in there. There are some in the Tavern of North Qeynos and Qeynos Harbor though.

I haven't seen any shinies in the east freeport tavern either.Could the "bountiful Brewday gardens"be made a bit more abundant? I was checking where I was seing them when the server went down, but I think they poped mostly in the general vicinity of the brell portals. A faster repop could be nice.I love the crafted items and all items in general. I'll second the request for a mage/scout tankard, pretty please <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Good work! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Any chance that all players be given the Improved Ale Goggles and still have the choice between the other two rewards? I imagine that anyone who does not pick the improved goggles and later finds out that you need them might be a tad upset.You can still see and harvest the bushes after completing Valla's quest while wearing the goggles. Is this intentional, since the harvests are tradable? edit: I understand now that I got level 2 artisan and scribed the recipe book.I thought that zoning out of the Bar of Brell removed drunkeness, however, it is not on my poor newbie. Not sure if it's a bug or if I'm simply recalling it incorrectly, as I've only gotten to participate in Brewday once before, last year. The last quest I completed was the Everlasting Brew one.

I'm having a heck of a time finding the gardens in The Commonlands, they seem very far apart and very few of them. I don't know if anybody else had noticed this or not.I'm having to use an alt to gather the gardens as I didn't get the goggles on a main, so even with slow, slow harvests they seem a pain to find.

I harvested them for quite some time so I could do crafting, but only ever had one flower while being in the 20s-30s for the other items.Also, is it intentional that the crafted Frosty Tankard is heirloom?

Love the new stuff!

It does not display when equipped by a player, a guild hall uniform mannequin, or an NPC clothed from that mannequin.The Hanging Keg of Ale looks like it should be an ale rack sort of name while the Maj'Dul Ale Rack is a hanging keg of ale. Methinks the two items should be switched, image-wise. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" />The default size for the Rivervale Upright Keg needs to be increased. It currently starts so small that it wouldn't even be considered a whistle-wetter for a thirsty halfling, and at its largest size, said halfling would barely fit inside it. ;DLikewise, the Brewday Meat Pie (which made me cringe because it uses one of those insanely rare clovers) is barely a mouthful for the abovementioned halfling. Definitely in the appetizer category, not a solid snack or meal. (edit: on default size, they're small enough to disappear from view unless you're zoomed way in. I was just jittering about and watching them appear and reappear, which was making me even hungrier!)Ohdear, now I'm hungry {trundles off, looking for a snack}

forgive me IF i missed some text in this quest....on the quest you do for brells avatar, where you go out collecting different brews for him..when you go and get the tumpy tonic part and you are streak across the docks... I missed the right place to start...I came down from seeing the ghost.. by the quickest method for rangers..which means jumping down to the beach and coming up to the docks from that end ( TS boat side) ....that is where I started my run...I was standing on the first top step there too...and instead of running me across it turned me around and locked me against the wall.Now I know to do the run I should have headed to the other side ( Nek boat side) since the "Streaking" part wants to make me run from Nek boat side to TS boat side of dock.its not a game breaker but it I was dispointed that I did not get to streak, just stand naked up against the step wall ...since I drank the brew from the wrong side of the docks..

I did /feedback this, but I will post here as well. For Beers for Brell in the Enchanted Lands - can we please have the Runnyeye scouts sent on vacation? They are so close to the hole in the wall and their aggro range is long enough that my lvl 25 got chased, caught and killed - again. The bats can use some adjustment too, every year I end up with a toon parked by that hole just killing the mobs so my lower level guildies can get through.

I've got a few more changes heading your way!<ul><li>The names of the "Maj'Dul ale rack" and "hanging keg of ale" have been switched with each other, as the names fit each other more appropriately.</li><li>The default size for the Rivervale upright keg and the Brewday meat pie is now twice as big as it was originally, and can scale up even more.</li><li>Players of lower level on the quest “Beers for Brell!” should find traveling though “The Hole” in the Enchanted Lands less treacherous, now.</li></ul>~Kaitheel

Elquinjena, it was not because you entered the docks from the wrong side. It is just that the drink strikes you with a fear. This randomly picks a direction and makes you run. In your case, and mine several times, the direction chosen was not directly down the dock, but instead into the walls or water. It still counts, and as you observed, the quest still progressed. But I wanted to reassure you that it was not due to something that you had specifically done.~Kaitheel

Unfortunately, items that don't have an idle state don't show until you are using them in combat. And since mannequins and guild hall NPCs aren't in the fighting stance, they won't show the Frothy Tankard in their hands.~Kaitheel

When they are on the server you should see them listed in the update notes.~Kaitheel</blockquote>I got a question ...Why do we have to limit it to Evil = Evil zone options and Good = Good zone options?Sure, for Frostfell it makes sense since it drops you right there in the city where there are a few guards just waiting for something to beat on but for Brell's bar it drops you on the outside of the cities where it's perfectly safe for lowbies. The only difference it would make is for the PvP servers. But, the majority of servers are non pvp and we really don't care if there are freeps in Antonica and the Pvper's have a right to make that decision on their own. But, the Evil characters probably do mind having to zone multiple times to be able to get to Brell's avatar in the fields of Antonica ...How about just giving us the choice of popping out to any of the zones that connect to the Bar?

In regards to Valla's quest ..Why doesn't it ever change? All it ever says is I must return when I have found the items. It never lets you know that you have found them. I mean i knew what I was looking for and I finally got 1 of the rares but just noticed the quest & helper never updated to show this. Maybe after the 1st item is found maybe the quest should update to the proper names of the items and then update to say it's time to return. *shrug*

I wanted Valla's quest to be a riddle. I did not want you to know immediately if you had obtained the right items or not, simply through harvesting. Obviously, for those people that wish to cut to the chase, and get tips or a walk through from sites and friends, that's up to them.But I'll keep your feedback in mind if and when I make another one.~Kaitheel

Really dont want to poo poo anything, but a 36 slot bag that weighs 1 pound and has a 60% weight reduce that anyone can make as many as they want. Are you trying to kill Tailors and Box makers in one fell swoop?<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

When Domino came up with the recipe she took into account the rarity of the items used as components, their limited availability and the fact that the harvested parts require a quest reward item in order to harvest them.~Kaitheel

Will the Brewday Gardens be available only while brewday is up, or will they always be there as long as you have the goggles to see them?

Only during the event, Lillaanya. That may help to put the backpack's availability into perspective.~Kaitheel

This is feedback not a bug, originally mentioned in the Gimme thread in the community forum. Instead of a copy of Irontoes east for the Bar of Brell why not use a copy of Haven with a few counters dwarven kegs and other mini-bars scattered around instead.1) it's larger2) it LOOKS more Brellian!3) it would have cool looking veins of glowing crystal all through it! <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" />

Could The Golden Scepter in Maj'Dul also get the collectibles added to it please? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" />edit: I just found that one shiny at a time is popping up around the weapon and shield merchant in the Midday Market. While there's kegs on display in that location, I really think that The Golden Scepter is more appropriate.extra edit: I finished my list of everywhere I could find the <a href="http://eq2.zam.com/wiki/eq2_collection:Brews_Across_Norrath" target="_blank">collection shinies</a>.

Possibly too late to get an answer tonight, but I'm wondering... Kaitheel says in the very first post in this thread that Brew Day is set to start on the 11th. Massively.com says it's the 12th. Did it get pushed back, or is it still set to go live on Thursday?

Very funny quests, thanks, was my first time I could take part in Brew day, the flying pig and the cow tipping was awesome, the quest to get the brewer drank and the glasses with the women too. I'm just wondering, what the blue and green glows around some npc and player mean?The german speaking version has a bug with the ingredients necessary for crafting the backpack, bug-reported it, once more the german speaking community with language related bugs. *sigh*I don't get why the backpacks and the equippable stein aren't tradeable though?And with the drunken running around looking for the "treasures" I was just wondering if some kind of obstacle course running competition (while being utterly drunk) wouldn't be fun.

Shortly after the 'Stone Jug of Kaladim' was introduced (I don't recall if it was last Brewday or the one prior) we were told (after - I *believe* - the matter was brought up in the 'Items and Equipment' forum), by a dev or design-type person (I don't remember who it was and I can't find the thread now), that its appearance was not as intended (it looks like it was molded out of unfinished concrete), and that this would be remedied at some point.Please consider this a gentle reminder (I'd completely forgotten about it myself, until just a day or two ago =p ) ... I want the jug for my toons (I only chose to receive the one pictured so I could screenshot it for this post) ... but not until it's finished.Thank you!<img src="/eq2/images/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://members.cox.net/chunkylover63/Blogger/Images/EQ2_000270.jpg" width="567" height="635" />

Actually, Frijoles, that happened. What you have is indeed the intended art.Here is the original post that you were referring to.<a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=445543" target="_blank">linked here.</a>I had said "When you get the jug it will look golden in the dressing room window and then appear as rough stone in your house (picture on the left). Later, with the next GU the art asset will be updated and the stone jug will be refined and accurate in both house and dressing room (picture on the right)." As you can see the picture on the right is indeed the stone jug you now have. <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3476/3347668928_bc18606f2c_o.jpg" width="254" height="345" /> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3646/3347672594_b6041036b1_o.jpg" width="268" height="396" />~Kaitheel

Oh boy - my bad then, sorry.No offense or slight intended, Kaitheel, but it's still looking somewhat on the crude side.I guess I figured it would maybe have a trace of the same type of gold 'trim' that's on the stein.Brew day is rocking nontheless, though, so thanks much for your hard work.And thanks for the quick reply!<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
