massive bug with The Temple of Scale: Pedestal of the Priestess

[BabyAngel]

<p>Twice we have tried to zone in but group 2 ends up in its own version of the raid zone than group 1.</p><p>Would be nice when doing achievement runs if all groups went to same one and stuff?</p><p>Broken raid zones with this bug</p><p>The Temple of Scale: Pedestal of the PriestessEpic AnglerThe raid zone for the kos sig quest in that same location as HoF does the same thing too.</p><p>3 broken raid zones, if anyone knows anymore with the same bug feel free to add <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> then lets count the years till their fixed. I place my bet on 2 years.</p>

<p>and why does harla dar with his 4 horns (that look awesome!) not have a trophy :O</p>

[Hamervelder]

<p>This bug has been around for a good four years.  I don't think it's going to get fixed any time soon, sadly.</p>

Ah well I will just keep bumping this thread till its fixed. Its not my home page. And playing a broken game is stupid <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p><img src="/eq2/images/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" /> still a bug</p>

[Brigh]

<p>Not sure exactly what is being talking about but I have been to Harla Dar a couple times in a raid with no problem (the one with all the fast respawn droags/drakes?).  </p>

[Mosha D'Khan]

<p>this zone was one of the first i can think of that had a dps check for the zone, have to have your raid do like 13k zone wide to clear it with out the adds poping again.... or was it 13 mins.... -_- i forget but that is the point of the zone a fast clear. dont know about the zone in problem</p>

[BabyAngel]

<p>Basically an X2 can't zone in, only an X1 can zone in. If you try to bring more than 1 full group they zone in but end up in a different instance, although in the instance there in, it says there in the same one as group 1.</p><p>So the problem is that every group gets sent to its own version of the raid. Instead of call going to the same instance.</p><p> And apparently the epic angler does the same but I haven't confirmed that yet. Maybe tonight.</p>

[Gladiolus]

We had the same problem, had no option but to cancel and try again the following week.

[Lord Destyn]

<p>Here is how it has ALWAYS worked even back in KoS days:</p><p>Have a person in the raid drop from raid....then zone in by themselves.  Re-invite to raid and then everyone else zones into the instance that person was in.  Now everyone is in the same zone, go kill it.</p>

[BabyAngel]

<p>And still broke</p>

and will likely be forever. Sorry.

Just a few years to go <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

the raid zone for the kos sig quest in that same location as HoF does the same thing too. Screws people out of finishing the quest when you get a raid together to finish it and each group goes to their own instance. I say GMs should just auto give people the rewards that are due players for things broken for so long.

[feldon30]

To give you an idea of how difficult this is to fix, it was easier for the dev team to take Cauldron Hollow, previously an x2 raid zone, and redesign the zone as a single group zone, including rebalancing all the mobs and loot. It was really sad when they did that, since that was like the only x2 raid in the mid-30's worth doing.

That is all perfect, at least when pedestal of the priestess is concerned. You hit the dragon without clearing the zone everything in the zone goes to protect her. Its a great zone!</p><p>The problem is the zone in. Change the zone in and fix the problem? <strong>Not sure,</strong> <strong>I am not a dev,</strong> The way the zone in works right now is, every person has to individually click the pedastal to get into the zone. change it to a raid-wide pull?</p><p>There needs to be a way to fix the bug. From what I am understanding, something they changed in the last 12 months is what killed the zone in. I bet they changed something for a level 90 raid zone, and in turn killed 3 and possibly more lower tiered raid zones.</p>

[BabyAngel]

<p>Still broke, but some good news someone apparently says Zolt will take a look at it and has been emailed a reminder to do so.</p><p>I still say 2 years.</p>

[Daenae]

<p>It's been that way since pretty much KoS release. We always just petitioned and a GM came to get us all in the same zone.</p>

<p>There is and always has been a simple work-a-round for this.</p><p>Zone a single person in, have him invite each member, let them zone and disband.  Then form up the raid while in the hallway outside of the ring event.</p><p>We did this way back in KoS cause otherwise there was about a 50/50 chance we'd end up in the same zone.</p>

<p>Well they frustrated me for the last time, so leaving eq2 ^^ I will be back when they fix the bugs.</p>
