Same here, completed Unexpected Consequences plus the Obol signature line, and cant see Erus in JW after the Chelsith: Ancient Vault-step.

Reptilgubben · 11-05-2012, 07:04 PM

is it possible to get some sort of fix on this? have nothing to do or test now on beta SMILEY

Eshaac · 11-06-2012, 11:45 AM

Ok, I'm stuck...

Here are 2 pics of what I see on my puter screen.

Quest says I must get map and the 2 keys from sleepers tomb. but I do not see the name of the zone the quest says to go to and I'm solo'n it.. nothing but heroic 3^'s and raid..

Says "contested"

You can see nothing here about "contested" not that I think it is where a solo'r should be going anyway.. hahahaha

Eshaac

Ok, edit... have found two problems... one is the dragon that you are to speak to is really parked at the wrong zone portal, instead of being at the top portal, she should really be at the bottom one in the pit as that is the door with the "contested" choice on it. Also "contested is way, way to hard for a solo'r, I mean come on. lvl 101 3^'s? really? for a solo'r doing this quest? There are no other selections unless it is the forgotten catacombs advanced solo that is supposed to be the selection..

Eshaac

Also note that I started this at almost lvl 93, though I'm am now lvl 93 and I can "not" kill the pyre; keep of flames mob. I've now tried more ways than I can count and at my current lvl of 93 it is a no go.. hahahaha.. ggrrr

Pictures deleted so the post isn't terribly long.

Your problem is a simple one ... your not clicking on the door to ST ... go into the pit, there is a short tunnel with a door at the end, click on said door.

The option you want is not the contested zone it's the solo one.

Arweena69 · 11-06-2012, 05:15 PM

So I just ran Wurmbone's End and I was able to find the second Monolith but I can't seem to find the first Monolith SMILEY

Did it just miss it somewhere or is it supposed to be an update when killing something like the second?

this need`s to be put in the quest journal, if it goes live saying that you need to go into the contested ST, people will either refuse to run it, or go in groups, be unable to find the updates and get po`d. please fix the journal so it has the proper zone info.

Queenelizabeth · 11-07-2012, 06:48 PM

Same here, I cannot find the first monolith in Wurmbone's End. I do notice the quest says to search for the first piece, and I see an upper area with a "glowy thingie" (technical terms are my strong suit) but I cannot find a way up there to search and I've searched the rest of the zone.

Whilhelmina · 11-07-2012, 07:06 PM

I don't suppose you could find a way to allow us who already did the Obol timeline to skip the duality step in Feerrott?

Something else: I found it nice to be able to do the OP timeline without having to do the EJ timeline first. I don't like linear stuff and all, so it annoys me to be forced into a single questing line. I assume from what was said above that we'll have to run the whole EJ timeline first? SMILEY

Arweena69 · 11-07-2012, 08:26 PM

The 1st peice in Wurmbone's end is near the Necromonger guy, kinda have to look around for it but it is there.

Yes it appears we'll be forced to complete all of the EJ line before we'll even be able to zone into Obol so oh joy oh joy...

Edit: My monk is stuck on the Chelsith part now, says something about looking around for additional useful stuff but I can't get the 3rd named to pop cause there is no crystal to click on when I do the zone.

I may recopy my Templar and start the questline over since we can beta buff to 95 now but not really looking forward to the idea of having to go solo all this stuff again on a class that can barely solo her big toe ...

Misia · 11-07-2012, 10:18 PM

I had ended up stuck on this part of the time line (posted about it before), and that got fixed. However, I went ahead without completing this segment. Now I need to talk with the Duality and can't because he's no longer there.

Can you push my quest forward?

+1 now it is quest not to execute on test??

Meare · 11-08-2012, 03:23 PM

Ok, there is a simple fix to this for those that completed the OP timeline, but it will take time...

First, recopy the toon from live to reset the toon to 92, then use mail item (which I got one today) to go to 95, and then go do the questline again from start to finish...

Or take the advice of someone doing the quest, first go to Sleeper tomb and clean the zone out, then go to Wurmbone Crag and clear the zone, then go to Wurmbone's End and clear zone, then hit chelsith. Seems that is the quest steps, and if you want info on those steps feel free to look it up on those related topics.

Cronyn · 11-08-2012, 04:38 PM

Sorry folks - I didn't mean to vanish for so long here. It's been kind of a mad sprint to get things polished and ready for release, but I think I've gotten to pretty much all you guys have reported here and through the feedback channels. Thank you!

So yeah, unfortunately, there was no way for me to fix those on beta who were in the bugged state - we were too close to pulling the data for Live, and providing a beta fix would have busted it on Live. There wasn't a way around that, and I'm sorry about that.

However, I may be jumping on beta over the next couple of days when I can, so if you see me, just ping me and I'll see if I can advance your quest past that point. Bear in mind, however, that you'll still be broken in other areas, since this same predicate exists across NPCs throughout the series. Again, this shouldn't be an issue on Live, but because we opened up both the Eidolon and Obol lines to get enough testing, this situation was made possible.

But again, thanks for all of your feedback and reports! You guys helped out a ton! SMILEY

Meare · 11-08-2012, 05:52 PM

Thanks Cronyn for all your hard work. Finally did all the solo zones for Puzzle Pieces, though the heroic mobs in Wurmbone were quite nasty...

Now it says to Return to Drinal's Steward in Obol Plains, but he not there anymore. Remembered before the linear set was enforced, a special quest was given in EJ to start the OP timeline. Must not of been fixed/switched over yet.

Cronyn · 11-08-2012, 07:03 PM

Yeeeaaahhh... so that was me not properly communicating to Kaitheel that the Steward in Obol Plains needed a new view predicate on him. Rest assured that he came into this office full of rage and fury. I don't remember what happened after that - I just remember the terror.

In any case, it's fixed now. And if any of you see Kaitheel, be sure and thank him for catching it - but don't tell him where you saw me.

*hides*

Eshaac · 11-09-2012, 06:25 AM

Ok, I'm at the part that tells me "return to Drinal's Steward in obol plains" however I can not see him. Some seem to be able to, but I'm not one of the lucky ones.. SMILEY I can go back to eidolon jungle through the poral and he is there, but does not respond to hails. Help!!! lol

Illmarr · 11-09-2012, 11:31 AM

I am also stuck at the same point, having done the live pre-requisite before copying. If I understood correctly, Cronyn's post two posts back concerns it and they are working on a fix

Cyliena · 11-10-2012, 04:02 PM

Currently stuck on the Wurmbone Crag step because the King's adds are 95^^^ in the advanced solo zone. Had another player offer to help but it told them they couldn't join me because they don't meet entrance requirements. My merc (Perrin) got chewed up and spit out by the adds.

edit: I managed to finish this step with the help of a level 95 partially raid-geared ranger.. even then it was close! The adds definitely need fixed.

Cyliena · 11-10-2012, 05:56 PM

Find Chelsith: the update spot for this is far too small. I swam straight to the entrance and didn't update. I zoned in, out, back in, still no update. I camped out sitting on top of the entrance and logged back in, no update. Finally swam all crazy around it and got an update for finding it at /way -823.21, -56.22, 1215.16 ... which is off to the right of the entrance.

Cyliena · 11-10-2012, 10:49 PM

Finally finished this quest a couple of hours ago. I have to admit this is my least favorite one so far. Nice story but four dungeons back-to-back, three of which you have to do in full, really is wearing.

Honestly, it's worse than that. Llogwey was a fully mastered 95 ranger geared in a mix of easy and hard mode (skyshrine/drunder). You can check the EQ2U char. If it's a close call with this kind of gear, then there's no way a regular char can run the zone.
