"Underdepths Saga" Signature quest - feedback & bugs

[Kaitheel]

The "Underdepths Saga" signature quest line is available for players level 100+.<br /> <br />Speak with Virun D'Xyafin in Neriak, or Dangle Springbolt in Greater Faydark to begin your adventure!<br /> <br />Please post any feedback or bugs you may find with the signature quest line in this thread. This will help us keep it as organized as possible and get the feedback to the appropriate designer.<br /> <br />Also, be sure to include Your Alignment (evil/Neriak or good/Kelethin), Quest Name, Who gave the quest, and What your journal says when submitting issues.<br /> <br />~ Kaitheel

[Kaitheel]

A couple things to keep in mind with these quests: There are no RoI (region of interest) markers on the map for quests, and you'll find that there are few sparkles on objects. Instead, quest objects are signs, so you'll be able to see them by mousing over them. The goal is to make questing less auto-pilot, requiring a bit more attention, and encouraging collaboration. With that said, if you find a quest step that does not give group updates, and you think it should, let us know.<br /> <br />~ Kaitheel

[Kaitheel]

Some changes headed to Beta, based upon today's feedback:<br /><ul><li>Many dialogue and journal typos corrected</li><li>Underdepths Saga: Into Darkness - Journal gives direction for Ironblood Fungus Farm</li></ul>I am not sure when these changes will make it to Beta, though I suspect it will be on Thursday, 10/22.<br /><br />Thank you all for jumping on, and giving feedback so quickly!<br /><br />~ Kaitheel

[Cleitus]

So, the instance Algorithm for Destruction, required by the quest Zaphardt's Defenders is down until the 26th as well?

[Bloodguts]

It's Pillar Time quest is broken. Cannot be go past the 4th quest update of killing the Aberrants. No matter how many aberrants you kill that spawn from clicking the pillar, the quest will not update.

[Soresha]

So... all instances are down until 26th so that people can focus on quest and population testing. But actually we can't get on with testing the main signature quest line (and checking respawn rates of quest mobs etc). We're all blocked from proceeding, stuck waiting for the first of the quest instances.<br /> <br />Uhh guys... want to rethink this one and let us into just the solo quest versions of these instances. if possible please? <img src="/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="Smile" />

[Kaitheel]

SooooOOOooo... Due to popular demand, we're hoping to make a compromise and get the solo versions of the dungeons open on Friday, 10/23.<br /> <br />~ Kaitheel

[I like bears]

In one of the subquests, "Scanning the Seals," after the step of "Scan the sealed door in the north of the sublevel Access Antechamber", I placed the scanner on the north door, and next update said the north door again instead of saying the south door (where the correct scanner actually is).<br /> <br />I submitted a bug report too.

the spider in Maldura: algorithm for destruction is not dropping the quest item cabalbox access pin to progress the quest

[Buco]

Maldura: Algorithms of Destruction:<br />- Cabalbox access pin does not drop, also searched the whole zone after Blackbolt is dead for a while<br />- Phylacterions (item are no zone flagged) are removed if you zone out or crash, which makes the quest impossible to proceed

[Xianthia]

How are you folks actually killing the spider (X-O Arachmec) in Algorithm for Destruction? I can get the mob to approximately 18% and it stops taking damage. His adds drop <span style="text-decoration: underline">an electro-charged battery</span> but I've not been able to use it on this mob. Any help/hints would be appreciated. <img src="/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="Smile" /><br /> <br />I have other updates for the quest so far.

[Jazzalyn]

The Disturbed Dhalgars that spawn in the "Tranquil Halls" takes too long to respawn in my opinion. I grouped up with another person to take them out and we were both sitting there waiting for them to respawn for a good few minutes - enough that we ran off to kill bats to get experience while killing time. This might be a bottle neck when expansion releases. Maybe they could have a spawn time closer to the mushroom men at the farm?<br /> <br />Additionally, for Underdepths Saga: Zaphardt's Defenders - the undertok sentry upgrade plans are not shared when you pick them up, but both players get the undertol sentry upgrade parts.

[Jrel]

Zaphart's Defenders: The pages also could respawn quicker please. There's only been 8 spawn points that I can find, that leaves 4 still to do. Waiting on 24 minutes now for the 9th-12th.

With the heroics currently unaccessible, how do I know if I'm done with the Signature questline? I have two bits that end in heroics - Underdepths Sage:Zaphardt's... and Umbrite Locked Tight.

There are only 11 of the required 12 sites in the Ashes of Maldura zone. This requires you to wait for the lockout timer to clear to proceed the quest line. :-(

Algorithm-if you dont pick up all 8 of the coils before finishing the other parts of the zone, there are no more to pick up to finish making the item to activate the sentries. I did all but the activating but discovered I only had 5 coils to make the part for activation...I cannot complete quest in zone now.

they respawn during the initial phases but once i killed everything they no longer appear. I have waited, zoned in and out, camped in and out and still not there. Between this and the spider a couple of days ago, this will be the third time I have redone the zone. Am hoping they can just be caused to stay spawning til all 8 are looted.

On the "Underdepths saga: Gears of the city" quest, the queen from Maldura tells you to search stoneheart yards for evidence of the primordial malice....I've been searching that area for 2 hours, no mob spawns or no updates. Not sure if it's just me or the quest itself.

For US: Eyes of the Ironshadow I can only guess I am supposed to kill Gavitzle.

screwdriver dropped from the heroic zone boss.

[Amaitae]

also after returning to the moth queen , there is no dialogue. quest text says I have to return to queen in maldura.<br /> <br />current zone says: Maldura: Unveiled Palace

[Tipperton]

That's fine that it drops from the heroic boss, but for casual gamers, I would think it would be available for the solo players as well. Not everyone has time to run heroics, LFG forever to get one, seems like such a waste of time & effort.

you did the heoric or solo version for the screwdriver?

the screw driver was found in the heroic version should be patched to adv solo last i read

But for my squishies this is a roadblock. This is what I am feedbacking.<br /> <br />I know that these instances should last for a year (or at least a half), and our toons will improve by then. But in ToV it was at least possible to bring a merc with you if you are not that "advanced" yet to solo the AS.

Underdepths Saga: Into Darkness - After completing this quest and turning it into Zeen Corblekeg, I said i gained 176,000 tithe. However, the final message said i now had 82,271/125,000 tithe.

algorithm adv solo for sig ques - this is 3rd time i have done this quest due to bugs. yesterday when i did it, i could do it fairly well and got everything done but not having enuf coils and they never did respawn. today my merc cant seem to heal for more than a few little movements along my bar and he and i have died over and over just in the regular questline. did you adjust all of that up? or adjust all of the mercs and my assassin down? unbelievably hard today for me today

Ok, so I got all the parts I needed to make upgraded sentry thingies. Crafted them and right clicked the sentries who all reacted with gobbly go but no updates to the quest. I'm still upgrade 0 of 8. I've tried highlighting them and using the shock box but there is no use option.

[Mandoblast]

Underdepths Saga: Mysteries of Maldura<br /> <br />I am at the part where it says "Slay Tranquil Halls undead (0/12). There are currently about 5 people camping 4 spawns? Am I missing something here or is this a large bottleneck? More spawns, quicker spawns, anything to speed this up.

[Elinea]

Now that more beta copies have gone through, there are a lot more people needing to kill that small handful of undead in Tranquil Halls. Is it possible to go the way of the mushroom farms and turn up respawn timers? Or give us more than one spot to find them at?

[Elinea]

Underdepths Saga: Eyes of the Ironshadow<br /> <br />I do understand and sort of enjoy the idea of having to actually figure things out instead of having our hands held through the quest line, and that's fine. However, it's been a few days since I've been able to get in on the toon that is on this quest, and today I decided to jump in and try to finish this up, and I no longer have quest dialogue to refer back to as to where I'm going. Is it possible to give some of these NPCs options to repeat the dialogue for those of us who can't start and finish a part of a quest in the same day? <br /> <br />I vaguely recall parts of this in the heroic District of Ash, and parts not, but I'm really not sure if I should keep dying trying to avoid the mobs in the heroic zone or if I should be searching in the advance solo zone for the mining and cave maps.

For Black Bolt, so I gotta kill the non aggro thralls he has searching the bookshelves? I did cause,w ell I figured he'd call them, but I have an ethical issue with kill non aggro mobs, so I wanna know if it'd be ok not to kill them!

[q-ruf]

just redid the temple of the ill-seen (adv solo)... seems the screwdriver update didnt make it for today <img src="/images/smilies/frown.gif" alt="Frown" />

[Annabea]

If you do the questline grouped with a friend, and go to the Unveiled palace zone in, it will zone you both into the same instance and tell you 'you have exceeded number of players' and one gets kicked outside with a lockout to the zone. Dont think it should let you zone into the same instance to start with, or maybe make it say you cant zone grouped or something.

[jasonx]

Not sure what's the deal with the screwdriver but I had to do the zone 4 times to get a drop.<br /> <br />First time zoned with merc, cleared it, no drop.<br />Went out, deleted quest, got quest again, zoned with merc, cleared it, no drop.<br />Went out, zoned with merc, cleared it to last, dropped merc, killed last solo, no drop.<br />Went out, got mission for adv solo, zoned without merc, cleared it, screwdriver dropped.<br /> <br />So I'm not sure what kind of event triggers the drop or if is just random.<br /> <br />The only combination I can see on update kill is I had no merc and had the adv solo mission. Guildmate got update with a friend and adv solo mission. Another guildmate didn't get update with merc and adv solo mission and didn't get update after without merc and without adv solo mission. Not sure if there is some weird connection there.

[Eyenstein]

Confirmed No merc with advanced solo quest I got the screwdriver.

[dngrmse]

Advanced solo, no mission, with merc, screwdriver dropped, (in chest of last mob).

[Elowith]

Underdepths Saga: Chaos and Malice. Being a bit panicky, I died to Tserinna's 'friend' and it is now in the upper portion of the zone that I can't get to. Activating the switches doesn't restart the script. Hoping redoing zone helps.<br />Oh, and in Advanced Solo just one screwdriver drops; if doing with a 'live' person need to run it twice.

[Chaaskul]

when you say 'Solo', do you actually mean 'Advanced Solo'<br /> <br />I for one, can't complete these, probably because I don't have raid type gear, just basic

[Dtrick]

Took me 3 tries. <br />1. Did not delete quest, zoned in with merc, had daily quest for zone, no screwdriver<br />2. Deleted quest, zoned in with merc, no screwdriver<br />3. Deleted quest did whole zone without a merc, screwdriver dropped.<br /> <br />Guild mate did whole zone without merc, deleted quest, was 2nd try, no screwdriver

[Cyliena]

<b>Underdepths Saga: Mysteries of Maldura</b> - Brusael, Frith, Gulmar, and Dirvy have no overhead icon to indicate that they're the citizens we need to speak to. Since there's a lot of npcs in Maldura with "citizen" in their name this part of the quest was pretty frustrating.

[Elowith]

Got part way on Underdepth Saga: Chaos and Malice, and had to log. Reset and went back in. Although I can kill the side mobs, the first serious named does not activate, and the 'go to the queen potion' is no longer in inventory. Really don't want to delete the quest line and go do everything again.

[Sintropy]

Have run the zone, Temple of Ill-Seen (Advanced Solo) 5 times and haven't seen the screwdriver on my Coercer. I ran the zone once on my monk and got the screwdriver the first time. Guessing the best thing to do is wait for patch...<br /> <br />On my coercer, it was only the first time that I had a merc and missions, the next 4 times, I didn't have any of those.

[Annabea]

Just a tought to add to the weird screwdriver, could it be possible that its bugging when a pet (be it perma or some dumbfire) gets the killing hit? that could also explain ppl having more luck without mercs active. It wouldnt be the first time quests bug out when you dont do the killing hit personally.<br /> <br />Or in case of mages that eth dagger proc (expertise pet thing that pops) tends to be able to break things still

[Kaitheel]

[Elowith]

I mentioned before that on Underdepth Saga: Chaos and Malice if you reset the zone not having killed the Primordial Malice, you can kill the two small mobs and get the two crystals, but it is not possible to activate the 3 controls at the back, making the rest of the zone active. Will this be fixed? No one has been able to answer that if I delete the entire step of the sig line (and presumably re-do the horrid screwdriver step), if I will be able to re-take the quest. Would appreciate a reply, sure hate getting this far and not be able to complete the solo line.

[Xianthia]

After finally being able to get back on Beta, I started the adventure signature quest line.<br /> <br />I'm having a very difficult time in just the first instance. I got up to the part where Black Bolt goes away from his area and the undying apprentices are aggro. Illy with Lorr' merc, I can't seem survive this encounter. Merc and personae go down almost immediately and illy shortly after. It seems I <span style="text-decoration: underline">have</span> to kill the undying apprentices before black bolt will actually trigger. Some pointers and or hints would be tremendously helpful.

[Mystfit]

the first instance is/was so far the worst for me. I can only suggest that when he ports..look at the color of his portal then click on it (or double click I don't recall) and follow him to where he ports. When he ports again, click on the same color as when you entered and repeat.<br />Also, I killed all his thralls (the ones looking for the books) first. Not sure if you have to.

[Xianthia]

I can't find him after his barrier went down and he disappears and assumed I have to kill the undying apprentices in order for him to actually trigger. Will look for him again if/when I can get back on. Thank you for the help.

[Mystfit]

OH....sorry. You're a step behind what I was talking about, my apologies. Yeah, you gotta kill those guys I fear <img src="/images/smilies/frown.gif" alt="Frown" />

Underdepths Saga: Chaos and Malice - Xoth, the Ever Rending only seems to drop the screwdriver when you're not in a group with another player in the AS version of the zone.<br /> <br />**edit** Ran the zone twice with another player without a screwdriver, ran it again once with a merc on passive and got the screwdriver drop.

Underdepths Saga: Chaos and Malice - The Unveiled Palace is a bit too hard to solo well on an assn, physical autos are doing 300-350k damage per round on me and I have 1.5mil hp.

In the Palace zone: Can someone confirm that after the 2 batteries are clicked in left and right room the levers in center room are not clickable ?

[Xianthia]

Well, I'm feeling pretty defeated on this quest line. I am stuck on Black Bolt in the Advance Solo. First instance for sig quest line. I've tried all different things, obviously none of them the right "thing". I can't kill this mob. He ports at some point, spawns an add that i can't see because it's under the world and then I'm dead.<br /> <br />I've tried with a merc, with a friend helping, since I'm using an illy not like I can heal them (they are a tank), and that didn't go well.<br /> <br />First beta that really has "beaten" me up. <img src="/images/smilies/frown.gif" alt="Frown" />

[Mystfit]

Hey you made it past where you were yesterday.<br />I gotta say, if every part of the questline were like that mob/zone. I'd of been done too. <img src="/images/smilies/frown.gif" alt="Frown" /> It was dreadful and i was exhausted when I got done. I actually knew what I had to do with that mob, but couldn't so it. The mobs that he spawns would sneak up on me. <br />There is some randomness to it. USUALLY, the mob is summoned just as he ports (there's text you can see in your chat box if you have narratives turned on (you should!!) in your main chat window. When he leaves, port to him as fast as you can (remember the color of the portal and use that to follow him when he ports again) as that causes the add to go away. If you're using a second person, both people need to get through it asap. It will pop up a narrative saying it's gone then.<br />A few times one spawned when he wasn't porting. And that was death to me. No where to run. I took the death and kept retrying until I had a clean run...meaning no insta death mobs were created when he wasn't porting and I had an escape route...does that make sense?

[Foretold]

Screwdriver. First time through WITH merc WITHOUT daily quest. No screwdriver.<br />Second time through I used the merc up to the last mob, had no quest. Drop merc, kill bug, got screwdriver. By then I was so angry I didn't care <img src="/images/smilies/wink.gif" alt="Wink" />

[Mystfit]

I did it it this am. No merc no.daily no screwdriver. Will retry tomorrow.

Doing quest on a healer with little dps - the x-o guy becomes unkillable very quickly - and hints on how to damage him again? Can barely keep up with adds.

So, is that the idea..to run him into the circle to make him attackable? I'm not that organized.

From what I can tell, you were likely better off kiting and letting him accidentally get in one of the circles than I was trying to lead him into them. I wish I knew what triggered the heals now and then. I have theories but everyone I have had was dispelled by getting a heal at a different time. I think I may have a laggy ISP which made that Butcher fight -- even more fun. We won't confess how many times the poor conjy died before she was victorious!

Woot! I finally found what was making the screwdriver drop inconsistently!<br /> <br />With that said, here's the next round of changes headed to Beta, soon:<br /><ul><li>Underdepths Saga: Mysteries of Maldura - Coil conductors can now be seen at all times, but can only be gathered when they are needed for upgrading the undertok sentries.</li><li>Underdepths Saga: Unveiled Dangers - It is now much easier to target Queen Alwenielle for the illusion trituration crystal.</li><li>Underdepths Saga:Chaos and Malice - Xoth, the Ever Rending now drops the Grand Artificer's Exceptional Screwdriver 100% of the time, as intended!</li></ul>These changes should be included with the next update to Beta, and listed in the update notes at that time.<br /> <br />More to come!<br /> <br />~ Kaitheel

[Kari]

Underdepths Saga:Chaos and Malice - I was in Maldura the unveiled palace and the Butcher of Hate killed me. I am unable to be ported back up top to fight him again. Tserrina is up top with him and the flames from the incinerators aren't touching her, so she won't port me. I zoned in and out a couple of times but she is staying out of range.

Black bolt is targeting and killing my healer mercenary, and triple hitting for large amounts of damaged to me. Is there something I missed that reduces his power or is this a known problem. Swishy, 1,300,000 hp, down in 2 rounds after port. Never got past 2nd port. Healer mercenary dead by 1st port (Perrin)

The batteries are supposed to take that buff off the spider, X-O Arachmech right? He was walking on top of the water and the batteries were not doing anything except flicking the "examine" window on and off. I was in the middle of the water and the spider was popping up and down out of the water.

[Elinea]

I thought the batteries weren't something you clicked on. When you have a battery in your inventory, click on X-O. A hand should appear when you mouse over him. Unless I'm thinking of the solo zone and it doesn't work the same.

The rancid Poxfiends needed for Luminous Quest (10 updates needed) don't always update - at this point I have 6/10 on one in the group and 1/10 on the other. At this rate I will need 50 Rancid Poxfiends. I think there are about 8 that spawn - and currently there are 5 toons/groups in the area hunting them. I may finish the quest sometime next month...

So, for the Screwdriver... It drops 100% of the time - but only ONE drops. If you are running 2 characters through, guess what? Have to run it again for the other toon. Before, when it was random, it would drop 2 screwdrivers - just might drop the 1st time through. Well, I guess I'll run it again now...

[Balcerak]

I've tried Black Bolt many times today. When he ports to the pad and I click on the portal to follow and engage him, I sometimes get a message saying the immolated has poofed since I've attacked Black Bolt. But 90% of the time the immolated doesn't poof. When it does poof I've had a couple of close fights but if it doesn't there's no way (stay by Black Bolt, immolated eats merc and then me, try to stay away and Black Bolt dots me to death). Is this intended? Or am I missing something?

I am not trying to spam this thread really I just cant think of everything that I saw bugged at one time <img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="BigGrin" /><br /> <br />Thought I would bring this one up. When you get to the part of the signature quest to talk to the Queen and her guards become aggro they not only attack you but anyone in the vicinity gets attacked. I saw people yelling why am I getting aggro after I guess I spawned the mobs talking to her, it was pretty funny though. I dont know if its still doing this since I did this a few days back just thought I would bring it up anyway while I remembered it. Hopefully no lowbie crafter or something makes it in there when someone is about to talk to her. <img src="/images/smilies/eek.gif" alt="Eek" />

[Xianthia]

After much self pitying and taking to heart the encouragement (thank you!), I was finally able to beat Black Bolt!<br /> <br />So off I go to finish up! <img src="/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="Smile" />

[Eliziana]

Underdepths Saga: Luminous Quest<br /> <br />I got kicked to character select after picking up Atalya, got back into game and she'd gone. Quest still says to return to Queen Alwenielle, and she has a book above her head, but won't advance the quest dialogue. Guess I have to go back and find Atalya again but quest seems bugged at this point.

[Eliziana]

Also Underdepths Saga: Luminous Quest<br /> <br />Returned to Lamari, attacked by spawned mobs, killed two and even though the rest disappeared after quest update 2/2 they continued to damage me until I died.<br /> <br /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/gJP4y5x.jpg" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" alt="[IMG]" />

[Kittybock]

After all my whining over Black Bolt, (skipped it til patch). Gotta say i loved Bar Brawl. It is enjoyable to figure these out, w/o digging through wiki.

[Trilly]

Unveiled Darkness - adv solo- killed trash mobs and one named. second named will not activate. I had killed the first just before the patch but still had two kobolds to kill to activate the second. killed them...no action. named is not targetable. camped out, zoned out. nothing. have to redo quest?

[Kittybock]

Thanks on Black Bolt--the little tyrant. <br /><br />That said, I had to Delete and am redoing Zaphardt's Defenders. <br />The Quest had not updated when I'd made the original 8 Shock Boxes and it kept telling me to combine the plans, which I no longer had and no longer spawn once you've created said shockboxes. <br /><ul><li>It might have been easier if the plans had respawned by deleting the mats in bag, but Deleting and retaking seemed to fix.</li></ul><br />This portion was done prior to killing Black Bolt, apparently there was a glitch when I'd reset or something. The other adv solos I tried waiting on the Bolt fix went smoothly.

[Kaitheel]

Today's list of signature quest changes headed to Beta soon* is as follows:<br /><ul><li>Underdepths Saga: Mysteries of Maldura - A bit more guidance has been added for speaking with citizens.</li><li>Underdepths Saga: Zaphardt's Defenders - Any remaining Sentry Shock box XII are now removed from inventory when quest is completed.</li><li>Underdepths Saga: Zaphardt's Defenders - Sentry Shock box XII are now removed from inventory when quest is deleted.</li><li>Underdepths Saga: Eyes of the Ironshadow - Folded Parchment is now removed from inventory by advancing the quest.</li></ul>*I'm not sure when they'll be on Beta, but they should be included in the update notes at that time.<br /> <br />~ Kaitheel

[Canth]

I saw in the update notes where the undead respawn faster but when there are 5 people trying to get 12 undead each and they're on a 4 or 5 min respawn timer, it's a bit of a bottleneck.

[Balcerak]

Underdepths Saga: Chaos and Malice:Maldura:Unveiled Palace<br /> <br />I've managed to get through all of the other parts of this quest and am wearing the quest gear plus a few other drops I got off of nameds. I go into Unveiled Palace and find it is full of aggro heroics. As a beastlord I can manage to kill one before the other linked ones kill me. I kept respawning and whittling down the trash till I got to a named at the end of the left hall with two pet dogs. No way I can kill all three even using a healing potion before I'm dead and all three respawn. Am I missing something? Or is this just a zone that BLs will have a lot of issues with? Hard to do much damage when you start the fight with no savagery.

[Balcerak]

Hmm, luckily I'm an armorsmith, it seems a lot more glittervein armor helps. Making progress. Just a tougher test than usual.

[Balcerak]

I must say the questline is looking pretty good. Nice puzzles that give adequate 'clues' and the difficulty seems to be getting dialed in. I'm still concerned about the bottlenecks where folks are killing mobs in the 'underland' and there aren't near enough of those mobs or they aren't spawning fast enough to prevent a lot of aggravation. Maybe add some extra spawn points for the first few months? Players spamming AoE attacks over and over in the graveyard were common. Just doesn't help build any friendships. And yes I politely asked if I could group and was turned down every time.

[Sigrdrifa]

This one is feedback.<br /> <br />Have you ever tried to train an otter to, say, sit on a chair? You can train anything using a reward system. You can get a dog up and sitting on a chair reliably on command in like 15 minutes. But an otter gets up there and gets the reward. Next time you ask him to do it, he stands on his head on the chair. Next time he puts just one foot on the chair.... because otters like to test boundaries.<br /> <br />Today, I am an otter. I'm working on the subquest "Defensive Measures". I have:<br /><ul><li>1 Stonerend (non-aggro)</li><li>4 Dark Gears Summoners (non-aggro)</li><li>5 large Malduran crystal shards</li></ul>So, I quickly figured out that just smiting Stonrend was A Very Bad Idea, because he's 101^^. So I started clicking the white circles. I have 5 crystals, each time nukes Stonerend 20%, so I should use all five, right?<br /> <br />No. After reviving, I went back, and this time I decided to kill off the Dark Gears Summoners. Everything went smoothly on summoners 1, 2, and 3. Then I killed #4.<br /> <br />Again, after reviving, I am down here looking at Stonerend and his summoners. If I was a Circling Path Monk, I'd say that Stonerend is here to teach me the value of doing things in moderation... <img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="BigGrin" />

[Chrol]

Ah yes, moderation and patience is the key to Stonerend. Good luck otter!

[Kittybock]

First, I found Sigrdrifa's tale otterly delightful and have nothing near as charming to share.<br /> <br />That said, while waiting for this last freaking mining and cave map to respawn--for the love of Brell--I found 2 unfinished spots, holes in the floor. lol. I do believe they were meant to be textured/ finished, but now that I know they are there, they glare at me.<br />Okay, yeah...I tried to jump in one...but, nahh.<br /> <br />Maldura: District of Ash Adv Solo<br /><ul><li>81.85 36.51 -196.90 4.68 0.00 0.00</li><li>-26.60 17.81 -155.42 313.46 0.00 0.00</li></ul>

[Sejreia]

Finally killed Black Bolt ....again. It's taken me a week, but it's expected in Beta. Trying to keep moving along here, trying very hard to stay positive. I've gotten to the fight against Cugdava the Changer and Gavitzle the Charbroiled. I've smashed Cugdva twice in two rounds of life, death; life, death for me. Now I try again and the lever/raiser thingie won't clickie. Honestly, don't know how I can live anyway on this one, with two ripping me to shreds. Between fights I was preparing a note about the same thing kittybock discovered, had a picture and everything made up. But... so I'll add, I was able to target one through the hole. Noticed his name was "an immolated warmsith," I had a funny quip about it, but it would have been better with the post I had prepared. So... I'm sure they're supposed to be "an immolated warsmith." I'll try again later. Thanks.

[Sejreia]

well, maybe not, my little portal says; 21.92 29.10 -116.64 77.62 0.00 0.00<br /> <br /> <br />...apparently I can't figure out how to post my pic on the forum for you anyway. New to this forum, sorry.<br />oh yes, almost forgot. I'm also 11/12 on the maps and can find no others. Been in here for a couple of hours, trust me.<br />Have fun, cheers

[Balcerak]

Sejreia are you clicking on the lever that has sparkles? There are two, but you probably know that. I did manage to find all 12 maps after looking for quite a while, but that doesn't mean there isn't a bug with yours. The one I was missing was the one that you use the elevator to get down to. I took out Gravitzle before I had to worry about the levers for Cugdava. That makes things easier if you can do it.

[Sejreia]

Thank you, I will try that and, also have a looksee around again where you say.<br />The first 2 times the lever on the back wall worked. Now I see, hmmm. There must be a switcheroo happening here in the mechanics even between different fights!. Thank you so much, Balcerak! <img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="BigGrin" /><br /> <br />Edit: Nope, no maps, none. Tried killing Gavitzle, newp. Tried The Changer way again. The lever worked and I crushed him again...just before I died, again.., so sometime when things calm down I might be able to find this other one. For now, seriously need a break or I'll tear my hair out and I have a Lot of hair. Thank you again <img src="/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="Smile" /><br /> <br />Oh, yes. I got out of the dungeon with the puppy and went to exit Maldura and crashed to desktop. Now, no puppy and I still have the quest to find his owner. I cannot find an owner now and the puppy is chained up again, inside my instance with no water to give him again.

Did US: ZD twice once to pop in couldn't figure out how to kill the second named but had acquired all the plans zoned out went in again in a fresh zone and was unable to click on the coils at all...but cleared the zone have the 12 plans (couldn't bind them) and the cabalbox pin.

Right click on the stack of plans. That will give you a bind option.

[Xuma]

The Kobolds that spawn for the Luminous Quest are either invisible or under the geometry but are still causing death by damage when they aren't visible or attackable during this quest after the update that gets you to Speak with Lamari. Might want to take another look at that...

[Xuma]

For both the Toad Egg clutches and the pages for the Maps and Sentry updates in Algorithm and Ash - I have found that I can't see them very well on any graphics setting but extreme because that setting provides a higher contrast. Its kind of odd that you could see something better at the lowest graphic setting versus the highest but that is what I have been seeing.

I've been able to deal with "invisible" mobs via AOEs. They're underground, because my conj pet has them targeted and is hitting them, and I can see where he's aiming.

A Primordial Malice Cultist - same thing. Not visible after update for Unveiled Dangers - causing damage and causing me to be "stuck in combat." I moved to the zone in to Unveiled Palace before the encounter broke and I was no longer in combat. I was already done getting the update for killing them when this happened.

Underdepths Saga: Zaphardt's Defenders:<br /> <br /><span style="text-decoration: line-through">When fighting Black Bolt, I follow him through the first portal but no matter which portal I choose when he says "Choose wisely! Muahaha!" I end up falling through the world and dying. I hope that isn't intentional for choosing the wrong one. Plus I can't see any visual indication on which portal he uses then (plus if it is a color indication then color blind players will have trouble).</span><br /><br />Edit: Ok, was finally able to beat him. Assuming the falling through the world is intentional, my bad for not realizing the portal color is the same each pair of time he ports. <img src="/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="Smile" /> Still might be an issue for color blind people. Also, the mercenary ignores the whole portal and runs to Black Bolt wherever he goes.

I have some more signature quest changes headed to Beta, soon*:<br /><ul><li>Underdepths Saga: Eyes of the Ironshadow - Maps should be easier to distinguish in the District of Ash.</li><li>Underdepths Saga: Unveiled Dangers - Primordial Malice are now visable to all while fighting or dead.</li><li>Underdepths Saga: Luminous Quest - Glow toad egg clutches should be easier to distinguish in the water now.</li></ul>* As per usual, I don't know when these changes will be on Beta, but they should be included with the update notes at that time.<br /> <br />~ Kaitheel

Not sure if this is posted before but /bugged in game as well -<br /> <br />BUG: Final instance of sig line - Palace of Unity - Tserrina encounter. I attacked the Butcher prior to getting the buff from the Queen. Tserrina did not reset and the ramps up to the Queen were still blocked. Could not restart the encounter and had to reset zone after 1.5 hours to complete.<br /> <br />Solution: a) Reset Tserrina after a death to the Butcher, or b) Do not let the Butcher become active and attackable until after the Queen casts her buff on the player.

Ah great news, I did not know that nor recall seeing it in any text box or pop-up. Is there some indication that this is the intended method?

[Chrol]

It should be messaged to your chat window when you receive it. You're not the first to miss that so I'll put in some on screen messaging as well.
