Putting couple posts in this one too show what was still bugged after patch if it could be checked into before Monday: Also, with the West Karana mission, while this patch seems to have fixed the "The Guardian of Qeynos" conquest achievement, Challenge of Toughness still seems to be bugged. Ran it again tonight after patch, was given credit for Guardian of Qeynos this time but still nadda on Challenge of Toughness. Also "Call of the Forsaken Master Scavenger" is auto-granting credit for "Worlds Apart", "Look Into The Future", and "Separate Ways" (presumably T2, T3, and T4 collection master achievements) despite the fact that these achievements do not yet exist. The new merchant in Sunrise hills is still selling the housing items that should be locked behind flags obtained from Collection meta-achievements, without actually having the achievements completed as well. Nice to see the housing items from the final RoF collection achievement being sold by him though!
Haven't looked too hard yet tbh but at first glance no. With the new expac coming out at pretty much the same time I wouldn't be shocked if we didn't see a new quest or two for Halloween this year. =/
Disappointing Halloween has always been my fav time for content, ever since I got my first Hollowed Pixie's Rib back in 2001 in East Karana, those events were the best ever and I was a sad bunny when they were no longer continued. I hope we get another event in Kithicor Forest like Zat did last year The event wasn't so great but the chat and playing with Zat at the end was fun
Can anyone tell me if there are new runes for the new spells and the names of those spell runes (if applicable). wanting to get a headstart on our guild spell distribution page. Thanks in advance.
No new spell runes. The actual spell scroll itself will drop from named/chest (sometimes) or bought from raid/heroic adventure currency.
On the West Karana raid can we PLEASE get the Headshot ability on the wardens either hugely nerfed or entirely removed. It's decimating tanks AND the Commander in one round if there's enough of them. Bad cycle on a spawn and you can seriously lose your entire raid to like 8 wardens near the end. EDIT: It's not the dot (Hail of Arrows) btw that's the problem, it really just is Headshot. It's causing far more harm than good on this raid. The wardens are pulling Commander with it the second they spawn so he runs out to the middle oft he zone. Too many wardens and they will chew through your tanks and the entire raid force and the Commander, ending your raid in a heartbeat. Which puts way too much "luck and chance of the wave spawn" into beating this event for my liking. Also, somehow Gold Hero's Forge from the new Recruit a Friend deal found it's way onto the Hero's forge merchant in PoK for sale for 1 plat per piece.
Headshot should be limited to level 88 players! No reason for NPCs to have more powerful AAs than players! Or is headshot now going to be upgraded to work on level 100 NPCs? Would be nice to have the gold HF on a vendor Lets hope its intended
Hah, that building in Nedaria's Landing has been missing for quite a long time. I remember /bugging it at least a year ago. I actually find it quite nice! Probably got reverted to one of its "unfinished" stages during Omens or its pre-release.
The vast majority of RBD's guild, including me, like the hell out of this event and don't want to see it nerfed. He speaks only for himself (Guess what, we're not wiping because of headshot)
