Oceansfull Feedback & Bugs – 2022

    Oceansfull is active on Test!

    For generations, we othmir have been giving thanks to Prexus at this time of year for all he provides, above and beneath the waves. Know that if you find any of us celebrating along the oceans' edge, like Taffil in Antonica, Hana in Tranquil Sea, or Kisu and Mimmi in Eastern Wastes, you are welcome to dance with us and receive our blessings. I've heard it can be fortuitus when searching the waters nearby for evidence of the Ocean Lord's generosity.

    All of the drops from Shell Game seem to work well. This year was the first I had the happy discovery of "Othmir Tribe Blessing" and it's affect on your loot from the Shell Game. I adore the building set that comes with this version of rewards, I already have ideas for how to use it on Varsoon TLE guild house. The new brian coral pods are awesome as well!

    Suggestions for Shell Game as it's the only repeatable interactive for TLE most often because of expansion unlocks etc. Definitely as you have time, and not all at once. but I think the enduring breathe and praticle effect suggestions might be easy?

    -Give the Othmir Tribe Blessing a Enduring Breathe buff effect.
    -Randomly have the shells shoot out larger gusts of bubbles and push you through the water instead of the code for the pearl to click for your reward it just pops the reward open upon being pushed. [As if the shell was inhabited still and said "DONT EAT ME HERE TAKE THIS!"]
    -Make the shells sparkle or release gusts of bubbles so they can be seen easier at a distance.
    -Add in a few non-game related shells/corals/exotic fish or planar water creatures etc to add to the flora/fauna of the beach this is happening around as if the celebration is drawing them in.

    Shell or High Water- Still works well, great indicators for the shells with the sparkles on this quest.

    Edited the wiki to tell about this buff on shell game feature, and put in the new times.

    Dialogue from Forgemaster Gert : "I've used tinkered machine in Moors of 'Ykeesha' to open a"

    terrorcudas keep one-shotting me with insane dmg (Urgent***)

    Ripperclaw either seems to be using heroic scripts or needs tone-down in difficulty (Urgent***)

    Bad npc pathing in Coral Corner POI and water elevators
  4. Schmetterling Well-Known Member

    YES :D and the shells do drop summer event medals, just as I suspected.

    Okay...trying not to be angry.

    This solo...wow. I have been in here an hour. I wandered lost through tubes full of fish and mobs that one-shot me and are apparently trash, I clicked through portals that lead to platforms of nothing but trash mobs, I fell and died and had to re-kill everything I had already killed...

    Then I managed to finally find a named. 'Ripperclaw'...despite trying desperately to read the fast-moving script scrolling by and figure out what the rocks I picked up were for and find a way to stop the sharks...I could not win. This is a solo?? This is a HOLIDAY event solo??

    I died so many times to falling and being one-shotted by trash that I had to call to the guild hall and repair. If I can get the bitter taste of rancid 'holiday fun' out of my mouth, I'll try to go back in and see if I can figure it out.

    Also: Just like when this water zone was regular content, the mobs and mercs and pets go under the platforms sometimes during fights. Since this was never fixed back when this zone was current content, I'll assume that's not going to be something you'll be fixing for this event? Probably?

    Update: Went back in out of curiosity. My only goal was getting back to Ripperclaw's platform. I died five times trying to do so. If I wasn't a class that can self-rez, I wouldn't have been able to make it at all.

    I got him and there was no chest.

    eye twitch
  10. Schmetterling Well-Known Member

    They better fixe that, I am tired of event instances that you can only do when mentored down 20 levels.
    Or is this another one of those " only for level 120 " instances that only people with access to the last expansion can do?

    That is even worse than getting killed 15 times, then you don't get anything for your trouble.
  11. Manafizzle Well-Known Member

    Well...it's Test. I imagine they just haven't put the drops in yet? I also imagine that every fish I run into is not actually supposed to one-shot me. So...this frustration level should probably not make it to live. I hope.

    I should have had slightly less coffee before doing this today.

    Since I die every ten seconds and have to call to the hall to repair, can you make the sediment zone please? No sense picking it all up so I have it for the zone when I barely make it to one named without needing to leave again.

    Looks like the pearls from killing named also don't zone. I got two named down, but only have one pearl to place.

    Maybe I should...not keep trying this...

    Edit: I kept trying this. Found the first mob's platform and the pearl was there. Either I forgot to pick it up (I think I picked it up) or it respawned when I zoned out with it.

    I suggest to you to wait till Monday or so, to give the devs a chance to have a look at this.
    It might be you have to use something to stun the fish with or such, in any case you have done your duty at this point Manafizzle.
    The only thing you can try at this point is to mentor down, to see if this instance allows you to do that.

    I'm guessing this is a max level or current expansion only thing (or both) as I can't even find the listed quest giver in Nipik's Haven.

  16. Manafizzle Well-Known Member

    Yeah, it's the current new fancy Oceansfull zone. Max level, max murder fish.

    (Finished it, btw. Took three trips to guild hall to repair...)

    Code has been made aware of the missing pathing at the Coral Corner in Trench of Terrors.
    As for stuff I can fix...
    • Removed one of the heroic scripts left on the solo version of Ripperclaw
    • All solo boss adds spawn slower (if they spawn at all)
    • All bosses drop loot
    • Terrorcudas and luring bristlemouths inflict less damage
    The bulleted changes should all be on Test now, but you may need a fresh zone to see the changes.
  19. Manafizzle Well-Known Member

    You added loot? /cries quietly in the corner
  20. Chrol Developer

    Yes, because you cried loudly in your post.
