/ponders squeeeing. Is the Play's the Thing the one that was part of the 10th Anniv? Now, the 11th Anniv? Does that mean I will be able to catch up with having missed last year? I would be so happy
You know what would really fit well on the merchant? The Qeynos Claymore and Soulfire replicas from the old world event. Also, any chance of bringing back the quests The Queen's Impending Speech and The Overlord's Impending Speech? If not, could the Royal Scroll of Assistance at least be added as a quest reward for something else?
it is its the one with the stuffy dragons and I love it I was soooo afraid it wont come back but it did jumps up and down in excitement
yay just killed my first stuffed dragon took for ever ran out of power 2 times but I did it cant wait for this to return to the regular servers
Ok, I spent from 6 am til 10 am waiting for Baelon to spawn in the Eidolon Jungle. Could not get the npc to tell the story even. I'm now back been here since 4:30 pm est and it is now 6pm and Baelon has still not spawned. The npc is telling the story but nothing. All the other monsters spawned with no issue.
I couldn't see the green shiny to update the Thumore's Absence quest in the Tower of Moon first time I have done the quest but I remember it's on the top floor maybe it's just me.
For the Baelon's reprise completion, I can definitely say this mob is not spawning at all. I have spent now a total of 10 hours waiting in the jungle for this mob to spawn. The NPC, Roslyn Mischeva is telling the story, but nothing. Baelon never spawns. Hopefully this can be fixed.
Mischeva and her troop showed up in sinking sands but just kept saying are you a hero and that was it, no story or mob spawns Waited for 10 minutes or so but she just kept repeating the same script. Called out came back still no trigger.
It sounds like the main issue is with critters not spawning...to whom did you sacrifice, Schmetterling (and who/what did you use as bait), to get them to work? Or was it just the first day or so? :-/ Uwk
lol I don't know you heard the others its just 2 of those dragons that seam to have a hangover from to much candy or something Maybe things will work better now all those dead things are out of here and the dragons will go back to where they belong when they cant loot anymore candy
Hmm; any new rewards this time for "Aggressive Advertising"? Seems like there was something new every year there for awhile... ;-> Uwk
Hmm... I'm on Test, and Bealon is up in Eidolon Jungle. It must have just been that the wait time between her announcing and the appearance of the clothwork beast hadn't been reached. It's at least 15 min. ~ Kaitheel
I have just witnessed the following clothwork beasts up on Test: Darathar - Antonica and The Commonlands Djinn Master - Sinking Sands Trakanon - Kylong Plains Baelon - Eidolon Jungle Roehn Theer - The Stonebrunt Highland ~ Kaitheel
Ouch. Not to burst anyone's bubbles, but seriously, in this day and age, I'm not sure how many folks have that kind of patience. The Testers are willing to wait hours on end to make sure this stuff works, but the average, ordinary player? Or ones who have more than the regulation 7-12 characters? If every beast takes 15 minutes to show up after its ringmaster announces its act, that's over an hour per character for the five of them. :-/ Even in RL, if something's been announced and it doesn't show up within at least 5-10 minutes, people will give up and go away to do something else. It's hard to compete with Instant this and that these days. :-/ Uwk
Thanks for the info Kaitheel I'll wait the 15 minutes for the mob to spawn, Uwk seems to have a point about the wait time though, 15 minutes OMG what if you had to wait in the fast food drive-thru that long?
I understand the 15 minutes is most likely so people can assemble from far off places to get there, so 5 minutes would be way too short. If you start at the lowest one, then progress through each, as I believe the intention was originally to be, does it still feel like too long a wait? Could it be brought to 10 minutes without much wailing?
