Signature Quest: The Fallen Swords: Reasons and Rime

Uwopo · 02-26-2011, 02:25 AM

1st step to find the Speaker of Lodizal, arrive at the map PoI and Osh won't respond.

Is the quest still looking for Nipik, perhaps?

Bremer · 02-26-2011, 11:25 AM

No, you have to talk to the new speaker. That step worked fine for me. I'm stuck at the next step. It sounds as if I'm supposed to complete the PQ at the Storm Gorge. But completing the PQ didn't update the quest.

drudy · 02-26-2011, 01:27 PM

The same thing happened to me just now. I completed the battle of storm gorge, but no update.

Uwopo · 02-26-2011, 03:33 PM

How did you "Find the Speaker of Lodizal"?

I've run all around Osh, hailed him... nothing.

Bremer · 02-26-2011, 03:46 PM

Just talked to him in his hut next to the giant turtle. He had 3 answer options, one progressed the quest.

Boooooooo · 02-26-2011, 04:50 PM

what/where is the quest starter?

Uwopo · 02-26-2011, 06:09 PM

All I get when I hail him is...

"You have done so much for our people, Uwopo. Nipik was right, you are truly a hero."

Jedediah · 02-26-2011, 07:00 PM

this seemed vroken cuz osh starts to communicate with lozidal and then nothing is happening

NaiadesEQ2 · 02-26-2011, 08:23 PM

Its nearly impossible to see once you talk to OSH and he start to channeling to hear Prexus the next thing it shows and is terrible is this ... and that is why the quest isnt finishing you cant see the text to finish the conversation. So keep changing camera angles until you see it. Hope that helps!

Gwenhilde · 02-26-2011, 08:53 PM

I can actually talk to Osh and go through the dialog but it ends with him talking to Lodizal and the quest doesnt progress....

NaiadesEQ2 · 02-26-2011, 11:50 PM

Keep changing your camera angle and you will see ... click the dots they are soo hard to see and the dialog will continue.

Uwopo · 02-27-2011, 12:43 AM

Still can't progress the quest. Othmir faction is around 12k. I've completed all the Othmir quests, and he still just gives the dialogue about being a hero.

Bremer · 02-27-2011, 09:03 AM

If you can't see his dialog, I think it's a Custom UI issue. Special quests (heritage, signature, access) have a new background window in gold/turquoise and if your UI is outdated most likely you can't see the background. And I talked to other people, who couldn't update the quest and they had completed the heritage quest for the turtle shield. I haven't and it worked for me. Maybe that is the problem.

Uwopo · 02-27-2011, 10:24 AM

That must be it. All three of us who had the problem last night have completed the HQ.

Lisabethy · 02-27-2011, 03:16 PM

Completed the public quest ... no update SMILEY

SkyBee · 02-27-2011, 03:50 PM

Just did the Storm Gorge PQ for the update. Got it with no problem.

Now I must enter the "Hold of Rime: The Fortress Spire". There is a point of interest on eq2maps but no entrance I can find other than to Kratoc's Fortress.

Anyone know where the entrance is to The Hold of Rime: Fortress Spire?

Barx · 02-27-2011, 06:16 PM

Should be the same as Kraytoc's, but you will need to have completed the Ascent to have access.

kuwappa · 02-28-2011, 05:45 AM

I was stuck two location.

1. I cant quest update PQ part.2. deleted that quest and get one again. POI showed Osh but he did not reaction.

This quest is broken complicatedly.

Where is the Ascent? Do I need to finish Pools first?

Cronyn · 02-28-2011, 04:40 PM

Okay, I went over the dialog, and I found a couple of places where it was possible to be in-between quests, and not get recognized by the Speaker. I've patched that hole, so hopefully at this point you shouldn't be able to get yourself to a point where the Speaker won't speak to you. The good news is that this is on the NPC, so you shouldn't need to remove your quest - it should be ready to go once we've hotfixed.

Bear in mind that there is a faction requirement here, too - if you've been killing the otters, the otters don't want to talk to you. SMILEY I don't think that's the problem with any of you here, but that's also something to consider if, perhaps, you kill othmir for sport.

Anyway, that's going in today, so you should see it in the hotfix tomorrow. I'll let you know if it won't be in there. SMILEY

Lader · 02-28-2011, 05:15 PM

cronyn any update on why the public quest isnt updating the reasoning and rime?

Windslasher · 02-28-2011, 08:09 PM

I see what I did there... the public quest update problem is all my fault!

See, when Cronyn asked if I could make public quests update the signature quest line, I said "No problem!" and figured that since it was a hard group questline, it ought to require hard group difficulty on the pq's. So I originally made it require difficulty level 4, which was meant for a tough group or two.

Now, I know it doesn't make sense to require hard mode when the quest just says "Help the coldain with the battle for the Storm Gorge!" We actually talked that over while it was still in beta... after that conversation, I went and made Ring War update the sig line on any difficulty but forgot to change Storm Gorge .

Tomorrow's hotfix will resolve the issue.
