I'm on the solo shard quest now. I really like the way it is set up so far, however I'm not getting any updates for killing the mobs needed for the quest. As I can go no further on the quest right now, I can't comment on the rest of the quest since I don't know if anything changes once I get further along. |

Yeah, I just got the quest Kiara... It's bugged and won't register any of the mobs I kill, so can't progress. All the ones upto that point were fun though... especially the dialogue between NPC and player.

This has been fixed (yay Kander!) we don't know when it will get pushed to Test, though, so keep an eye out for the next patch and let us know if it's still wonky. Thanks |

Wonky is a highly technical term * nod * |

My favourite place hearing it was on an Air Canada flight after we had descended quite a bit mid-flight. The captain came on and said the primary air had gone wonky and they had to switch to the secondary. (We were fine, but needed to be at a lower altitude since we no longer had a backup.) So, yes, a very highly technical term *nod*

So am I to assume since this the daily solo shard quest is not in an instance, that this is only going to be for level 80 characters? Will level 50+ toons be able to acquire a daily solo shard as well? |

Why in gods name do you think you would get shards which are used to buy level 80 equipment as a level 50 character?

85^ MOB (Olcryb) for the "A Mineral to Guide By" quest is not soloable. Each hit takes 1/5 of my health...it deflects most of my attacks.

Seconded. My necro can't get three casts off before he's dead - not enough time to even start swarming with temp pets, much less do any other damage. Either the mob needs to come down a few levels, or the quest needs to be flagged heroic. |

I had originally hoped that there would be SOME REASON for level 50 characters to do the TSO content, seeing as it says there is new 50-80 content right on the box. But in the TSO dungeons unless you are level 70+, there are:
So why would anyone do them? Answer: Nobody does. Not even for AA. If they would just throw us a bone like ONE awesome upgrade for each archetype for level 55, 65, and 75, which can be purchased with void shards or by completing a quest. SOME reason to run these dungeons at level 50-70 would be nice. |

My original question was never answered. Since this isn't an instance, are the kill mobs contested? |

The one solo shard quest I did the mobs where contested but there was a crap load of them. You also have to kill them close to where your FD body is else you will not get the update.

What about the final boss mob? Is he contested, and if so, does he have a fast respawn, or is he one of those mobs that spawn only when you have the quest (and instantly)? |

honestly this timeline was pretty easy and the series is pretty cool too. The crab barely put a dent in me....and i was wearing my solo gear in my raid AA spec. The only thing i really didnt like about the final quest is that you have to be close to your FD body in order to get updates....granted i found a good area to just continuously pull the void mobs over....but could be better when giving updates since the quest does say examine at the beginning of Sol Ro Temple...not inside it.

Having a mob which requires group help to beat solo also defeats the purpose of a Solo quest line. At least if it were flagged Heroic it'd be honest. As it stands this quest will only be solo once the level cap is raised. Obviously my preference would be that they lower the level of the mob/quest. Edit: I noted the previous poster said he did beat it solo, with solo gear - was that gear obtained on solo/group quests or gear obtained on raids which you use for soloing due to specs? |

Any updates on the problem with non-solo mobs in a solo questline? |

So the Level 85^^ Crab either isn't 85^^ or won't kill me in 30 secs...I'll hop on to see. EDIT: Devs, what are you playing at? This Olcryb mob is clearly not meant for solo players in legendary/mastercrafted gear to kill solo. I get flatened in around 30 sec (4 to 5 hits). I'm usually not one to say SOE lies...but to say that this is a solo questline with this mob is clearly a lie. |

Ok I was full T2 shared gear (armor wise) with myth and was able to do it. Might of had to use the Unglued Alchemist's Amulet on the crab but I dont' remember it being a super close fight but it was a good fight. I'll recopy and do the quest again to see if I just got lucky.

Clearly the devs have this mindset that all players are in fabled gear, master spells, a mythical and can stand toe to toe with a 85^^ solo... This is not the case though. It seems every new expension or update, they make newer tougher mobs. They expect it to be soloable. Probably to someone who has the mentioned above gear, but not everyone has that stuff, unless they raid a lot. I'm a warden in T1 shard armor, and just got my first piece of T2 the other day. I'm using a fabled epic, with all AD3 spells. I know theres people even less fortunate then me, and if i can't solo this guy i know they can't. Please SOE can you make this game a little more enjoyable for people who aren't uber, instead of going in the "maximum toughness" direction? I'm not asking for a instant win button. Just stop mislabeling you're mobs. If it's listed as soloable, it should be soloable by anyone who has reasonable equipment and level for it. At level 80 if a mob cons Orange to me, I ain't going near that alone. Even if you say it's soloable.

If you'd gone to the bot handing out mythicals + VP gear it would be soloable (not he one in Lavastorm who only hands out T2 shard armor). Hopefully that bot won't make a reappearance after the wipe. Especially if they're actually using input from that server for balancing. |

Logic would SEEM to indicate that if I am wearing the best solo obtainable gear in the game (lets say all legendary 75-80) with a couple of bits of better stuff and with adept IIIs of all my important spells that this should be soloable. Not easy necessarily but doable. If its challenging for T2 sharded people then what is the point in the whole thing?? They simply dont need it they already HAVE shards and obviously are on top of things. Surely the point is to provide a helping hand into gear to get into TSO instance groups for people who are behind the new curve? |

With the equipment from the buff bot (Adept IIIs, full achievement, T2 shard armor), my necromancer was finally able to beat the crab. Took several tries even WITH all that. So, if I need T2 shard armor in order to get shards - what's the whole purpose of the solo quest again? |

I made the crab level 82 with innates from 3 expansions ago. I am unsure if this is his current set up on test atm though. Please PM me if this is not the case.
