Is the Everling's lost chamber patched? [Archive]

Hello, here's a little question for Cronyn I suppose...Our new lore quest from Paineel Council Chamber is asking us to find a zone in Nek named "Everling's lost chamber". Is this zone patched or not? We're scouring the zone and found nothing so far, so just asking <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

We have a new lore lore quest and its on test? Notes, hints, where does it start?

Paineel Council Chamber, but it's broken if the zone is not up

Cronyn

10-05-2010, 05:32 PM

No, it isn't there - it's my fault. I made the zone and it was all rad on my server, but I forgot the whole part where I'm supposed to tell the coders that the zone exists, so they never spun it up. YAY FOR ME.Should be in the next update. I'm sorry about that. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Thanks for the update <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /> Now we can stop searching <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" />It seems a pretty nice quest

Okay guys hang on - there's a couple more bugs in the quest I need to fix real fast, and one of them has to do with the reveal at the end, which I REALLY don't want you to miss. It's fixed, but it missed this last update, so hold off on the quest a bit until we can patch Test again.Sorry all! I wanted to get the word out before anyone missed it, though.

Not sure about time differences etc, but - the mayong instance entrance zone in was a bit too low - I am stuck! can't find a key anywhere. Probably being dumb. Cleared the place 3 times tho. Maybe it's to do with those updates and the time differences mean there's more patches to go in.

Looking for the Deepwater Knights update in library of Paineel and there is only one book possible for me that could be the update. I did look all over Paineel and nothing, except this book that stays out a bit more and I am not able to click it at all.Perhaps it wasn't fixed yet, not sure, started after Everling's chamber today or it's somewhere else, but it was the only book that was new in that area.

OK, picked up the quest in Paineel but could find nothing new in the libraries in South Qeynos of North Freeport, am I missing something?

I will add my two cents in: Its nice that this quest invovles Everling in someway since the last 3 instances have hinted that he was tied to the end of the age. The pot of al'kabor or the book of sunder (i think) the tribulation instance are good examples.

Did last night's patch fix up everything (functionality & story-line) for this quest? Wary on continuing it until that's confirmed, don't want to miss anything! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

So, all of the bugs for the quest itself should be fixed - but there is an art bug with one of the major pieces at the end. That bug is fixed, but missed the recent update to Test.Feel free to run through the first two quests if you'd like, but once you get to the third, just hold off until the next Test update do you don't miss it. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Thanks again, all!

It is left out specifically for the lore people to discover and find it out on thier own using the worldwide lore channel. Occassionally the lore dev places hints on the forums or pictorams for players to analyze but you never see a patch notes telling you to look for a certain NPC.Regardless the day your account expires will be a jubilous occasion on eq2. You have been a constant stream of negativity and forum trolling spam for the past 6 months.

On a scale that overturns positivity and makes the balance go negative.Why would I be positive if it wasn't the reality?I used to be a fanboi at one time. When SoE could do no wrong.I've changed, and subsequently won't settle for inane situations anymore. In life or in game.I would love to see EQ2 return to it's prior glory, but I see no path for that direction to occur anymore.Thus, I've quit.Though, I obviously do have the tendency to be stubborn and unrelenting in regards to complaining.That's mostly because I reminisce too much =).(Nothing against you Gungo, really. I see your point of view and my mood is negative, intentionally. Someone has to play Devil's Advocate.)

I dont think this one was as the first I saw of it was posted by another player but there is a ton of locations out there and I could have missed it. Hence, my comment that I was glad to have had it shared or at least questioned about making its presence known.I also understand some of Vorts frustration and negativity. For your own sake Vort, let it go. What was at one time here is gone. Honestly, you may find it in Rift though, the same people that created that spark here are responsible for the one there now. I know its easier said than done, I continue to approach that point of leaving as well but keep finding small reasons to stay, morbid curiosity perhaps? Time will tell.

Have the npc mention like, "You know there's been some odd happenings around this area, a lot of activity near that old outpost that's normally not used, but it's probably just the Gnolls trying to steal things."Then put a note in the outpost giving a hint towards the real quest, that's still somewhat vague but is at least findable ingame without simply stumbling upon the lead in.

As well as that the wiki page means anything if no one knows it exists, making it irrelevant.This leaves out those people who could find it in game, but don't know or use the lore channel, don't visit the forums, and don't have other quester friends.Roleplay, back in the day yatta yatta, hand me downs.Yes, a lot of stuff used to have no clues whatsoever to it's existence. Did that make them good? No, it simply made those who found them first feel special.Does someone else doing a quest after you take away your satisfaction of having done it in the first place?If it does I pity you.With the game as large as it is, and with the continious onset of the abandonment of cities, progression of leveling to top tier...How do you find some obscure little things to start a quest that is not formally listed accurately and consistently without some clue as to where it's location is?

Hey, calm down !As the person who created the thread, I must say that we found the quest on Test_Copy mere hours after it was patched.As it went, there shouldn't have been patch notes as the quest was broken on the second step.Hey, it's given by a NPC in the major hub of this expansion, so it's pretty hard to miss (well, it'll be hard to miss when the quest will scale properly if it don't yet). If it took us so little time to find it, were patch notes really needed?

Apparently the book on the second quest, the one for Deepwater Knights is buggy at the moment. Cronyn said he confirmed the book has an issue and is going to be relocating it. Just thought I would share.

i am not sure where to post the question but since this thread deals with quest series, on the follow up quest "of things to come" where is or is there any clue (or is it broken) to where the ulthork tusk is....i never remember a walrus in frostfang....

He should probably just say "thanks, visit me later on" or some such I'm guessing?@FacelessWolf: The rolling rock area may hold the key! <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I thought of one other thing that was odd when doing this series.During "Of Things to Come", the Duality tells you to "go to the docks..". Ok, the quest journal updated to say which docks, and as a former eq1 player I understand why those docks... but where in the quest was it revealed to know which docks he's talking about when he asks you to go there?

The Ulthork tusk is pretty small but beyond that it was flickering in and out of view depending on the angle I was looking at it. Effectively, it disappears unless you look at it just right. I am running 2x 1.8 gb video cards and 16gb of ram under Win Vista 64 Ultimate and typically run at Very High Quality.Not sure if its just me or a potential bug, thought I would mention it.

Hecula

10-11-2010, 05:10 PM

Any hints on the Ulthork Tusk? Found the snow (purple shineys) and the orc ring (random drop from a Ry'gorr) but been looking for the tusk. I assume it's on the central island - is it a triggered spawn? A shiney? Random drop? A clickable piece of the scenery? Harvest? Merchant sold? Any tips would be appreciated.

It does seem odd to find the Ulthork tusk there without any other specimens of it on the island. Where do these things come from and what are they? I feel like I am missing something of their explanation.And it was difficult to see, for me anyway.
