"Underdepths Saga" Signature quest - feedback & bugs

[Shadowscale]

dont even know what im trying to see looking for the egg clutches for Luminous quest

[Sigrdrifa]

The quest <b>"Underdepths Saga: Into Darkness"</b> states: <span style="color: #0000ff"><b>"Investigate the nearby city."</b></span> I can plainly see the city in the direction of Outer Maldura, , so when I started the adv quests first on my next test toon, darn if I didn't run smack into the guards in front of the Maldura doors, d'oh! <br /><br />While Stoneheart Yards is probably technically part of the city, Gwynnura is about 180° AWAY from the direction I think most people would interpret as "the city". Maybe change the text to <i>"Investigate the outlying areas of the city"</i>?

Unveiled palace... the mobs there need the same debuff the advanced solos do for us squishys.<br /> <br />its also filling up my inventory with water each time i die. yeah i know the last named wont be debuffed due to mechanics but would like to keep my inventory space.<br /> <br />nameds range is a bit further then would seem thogh... and could be a bit more forgiveing trying to get it exactly centered in the black stuff....

[Shadowscale]

gave up, between haveing to run far to large of a circle to prevent from getting hit and then not being able to get them in the circle in time, and inventory filling up with water. will wait for changes. noticed i was getting heals from something. but not frequent enough.

I miss this thread sorry and posted <a href="https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/underdepths-saga-chaos-and-malice-maldura-unveiled-palace.565400/" class="internalLink">https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...os-and-malice-maldura-unveiled-palace.565400/</a> there allready<br /> <br />Main things related to (Maldura: Unveiled Palace):<br />1. I started with my Coercer tryed to kill the first 2 aggro trash mobs with casual dps like i do while questing. The result was that i dead after 3 hits of each mob because the hitted my for like 250k autoattack on each hit.<br />Since they only do kinda insane autoattack damage for solo trash mobs, i dazed and stunned them once my nukes where down. I managed to kill the named with nukes as well, but tbh that outgoing autoattack damage is kinda extrem. In compare the mobs in "Kralet Penumbra: Temple of the Ill-Seen (Advanced Solo)" don't hit that hard and you can run it with a healer in group.<br /> <br />2. I got 1 water to summon to the queen every time i died. since i tryed it 4 times i got 4 waters .. possible to make that water "lore" so i can have only 1?<br /> <br />3. if you attack the butcher while under sickness you can't damage him, even when you got him into the circle .. but i guess that is intendet somehow ^^<br /> <br />4. the circle doesn't work right the moment it pops, i mean as long as you see the X the butcher isn't effected by it. He was effected by it once it turned into a big black ring. that happend to me like 4 times .. he really just runned across the X so i had to make him turn around and still no effect, then it went full black and he was effected by it.<br /> <br />5. Sidenote: How does the butcher block or parry while he can be damaged? (29 blocks and 18 parries out of 203 attacks)<br /> <br />6. The dark lines from terri : i ain't saw those, ok i don't play with full effects but still i do see the most of them. Terrina says various things through the battle but the emote that she is casting the ring was there only once or twice.<br /> <br />7. The 30% for the heal seems to be ok, sometimes that a little to low :/ I runned past him survived with 31% and 2-3 hits later down to 3% and then dead :/ it would be well let's say more predictable if the heal would trigger once you are below 30% but can't trigger again within 20 seconds. Nearly same effect like now and it wouldn't make it a lot easier just more predictable when it should trigger.<br /> <br />8. Once it was dead, the queen had no feather above the head and the second respond ("Zou Kunnen? Who is that?") of the dialog didn't had the Signature frame like the others.

Quest: <b>Underdepths Saga: Luminous Quest</b> still needs more <b>rancid poxfiends</b>. There are two people out here this morning hunting them, and since the quest update is not 1 per dead poxfiend, we're both circling endlessly waiting for respawns.

Well was in the zone Maldura: Unveiled Palace when servers came down for update at midnight 11/11/15 and have tried getting in and every time server kicks me back to Maldura zone. Unable to progress Sig quest line because of this. *sigh* Seems I get caught on every step of every questline ive done this beta go around.

List of upcoming changes:<br /><ul><li>Underdepths Saga: Eyes of the Ironshadow - Number of spawning maps in zone has been increased.</li><li>Underdepths Saga: Luminous Quest - There are now more rancid poxfiends.</li></ul>I don't know when these changes will be on Beta, but they'll be called out in the update notes at that time.<br /> <br />~ Kaitheel

Underdepths Saga: Zaphardt's Defenders<br /> <br />As a coercer and trying both the Daeron and Stamper as mercs, I'm still getting slammed hard by the blades that the XO Arachmech throws out, and the adds that he spawns that drop the batteries. Stamper dies in a single hit to the add, and while Daeron can survive a few hits, I can't survive the blades and the trauma detriment that it throws out. My character is in half quest gear, half AoM raid gear. I really didn't notice any improvements in survivability after the patch that supposedly changed the damage (unless healer/tank mercs negate the lessening of damage). After several tries, I'm no closer to being able to advance this signature line with a caster and a merc.

Several times she obligingly placed the circle right between the Queen's dais and the Butcher's dais, where the Butcher pretty much HAD to run through it.<br /> <br />The real key to this fight for me was my pet. I had to back the pet off when the Butcher couldn't be damaged. I used Sigils of Life from the City Merchant as well as healing potions a couple of times when I was getting iffy. If you can stay away from the Butcher long enough, the epic buff you have on you will regen your health back to full.<br /> <br />Now, granted, the conjy is AOM raid geared, but not Avatar stuff, just mid-level gear in progression through Baz. Several pieces of my gear have been replaced by the time I get to the Palace fight as well. Not everything was an upgrade, of course, but I improved some jewelry for certain sure.<br /> <br />For me, the fight was fine. YMMV.

[Shadowscale]

is not giving me the buff for some reason.

[Demonicate]

After merc buff i was finally able to finish first boss in district of ash (sig. line quest), but can't kill x-o arachmech, stamper still heals too little too slow (like max 10 % hp at a time) and finally stops healing completely. Tried to do instance in thalumbra (the kobold one) and couldn't kill first boss for same reason. Toon is beta buffed ranger with quested gear up to that point and about 1.9M hitpoints. I give up <img src="/images/smilies/frown.gif" alt="Frown" />

[Alenna]

is it intended for your mercs not to heal you during the Underdepths Saga: Luminous quest kobold fight? my merc raffik is not healing or rezzing me. while I fight them i've died 5 times so far. only killed one kobold of the 2. with no apparent healing and definetly no rezzing from raffik.

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">The Unveiled Palace is once again not available as of 3:15 PM pacific</span><br />after 6 minutes waiting to load I closed my application and reloaded the game to find myself in the palace.<br />Hopefully it was a one-time incidient and not something that will repeat to other players on the final step.

[Uncle]

i had an issue iwth that last instance to get the ring/mount the instance would not give me the buffs needed to ficnsh the zone<br /> <br />uncle

[Catterinna]

okay seriously, this Butcher in Unveiled Palace is so brutal on a caster. I have died 20 x to this mob, I have switched gear, used all my hp stuff and he hits so hard it doesn't matter.<br /> <br />He goes through a black circle and doesn't get rooted and is still not damageable.

[Alexic]

Done the quest 20 times now only had issue first time easy peas other 19 just follow script you will be fine

Your regen rate is vastly improved by the buff you have on you, he's slow, so you have time to heal up. Also, run an oval, bowing in towards the queen on one lap and out on the dais near T'Serrina on the return.

Quest: <b>Underdepths Saga: Zaphardt's Defenders</b>. When it's time to upgrade the undertok sentries, right-clicking them reveals a single option, "Install Upgrade". Since there's only one option, that should be the default action on a single left click as well.

[Zeddicious]

On a personal note: during the questline I needed to craft a doodad in the first Adv Solo. The recipe is level 2. <img src="/images/smilies/frown.gif" alt="Frown" /> So I had to bounce out, and go level up my crafting to continue. NBD, just didn't expect that in an adventure quest.
