We are aware of some bad spawn points for Mischeva's crew in The Commonlands. There is also some doubling up of Mischeva's crew and Darathar in Antonica. Both are being investigated. Thank you! ~ Kaitheel
There were 14 of us, plus many mercs in the zone in SS for the Djinn Master. The majority of us didn't get credit, even though we killed him. My buff counter was well over 300, and I didn't get credit, for example. Most of the others didn't either. Edit: Correction, only the person who did the kill shot got the credit for the Djinn. We didn't make it with Trakanon with 10 people before the timer ran out.
My suggestion is that you give us an hour or more to accomplish the task of killing the muppet/puppet creature. Yes, it will not take so long on the live servers, but on test the lower level characters need a chance to do the quest and many times there are only one or two people there. That or "hit points" may need to be reduced. Something else I noticed: when the creturespawns in the timer starts. It would be nice if the timer did not start until the creature was hit.
Ok, I'm out of practice, so I beg forgiveness for pointing out things that may be as intended. The Play's The Thing"- didn't see a quest feather. Qeynos Band Aid-Gimit has no quest objective feather over him either though that may be intended? After I spoke to him and he wanted to fight, he then had the book/feather over him. Also, he's a whimp. Pretty sure i knocked him out with a proc Festive Flames in Qeynos-no issues When looking for places to put the fireworks for Missing Decorations, the pumpkins around Qeynos load in as a green sparkle first, which I chase as a possible spot to place my fireworks. only to have it load in as a pumpkin when I get there. Since it's not going to cross over on live, it's no biggie, I just wanted to point out since it's quite the trick in 'trick or treat' having me chase fake green sparkles... I am unable to find decoration spot #1. I went over every inch and checked these spawn locations. This could be user error on my part, so if anyone has any suggestions? First lantern in North Qeynosmay be found at: 428, -21, -270 outside of the Ironforge Estate 447, -20, -303 in front of Queen Antonia Bayle's statue at the Ironforge Estate 349, -18, -243 behind The Jewel Box shop 393, -24, -202 outside the city merchant building
[quote=" Testers of this content will find a new achievement "Test: Mischeva's Champion" listed in the Live Events/ Heroes' Festival section. It is only available on Test! ~ Kaitheel[/quote] Why did another achievement, which can`t be obtained on live servers, found its way onto them? The doable portion of available achievements on live-servers are getting smaller and smaller.... - Achievement-Category -> Beta: not obtainable on live-servers, but they are there. (4 in total) - Achievement-Category -> Events: either Fallen Gate and Race to Trakanon not obtainable: diminishing completable achievements by a total of 148! (#149 did update accidently for everybody worldwide). - Achievement-Category -> Quests -> Fallen Gate: again not obtainable: diminishing completable achievements by another 121! - Achievement-Category -> Guild General: broken for years, always shows 0/4 done for everyone when you inspect them, hence 4 not obtainable. - Achievment-Category -> Guild Raids: broken for years, always shows zero done for everyone, in total *trembling drums*....448!!! not obtainable. So in summarition, there are 725! achievements a person cant obtain when you inspect them looking at their achievement-tab. Being one of few prime-achievers in this game, this influences my completed-ratio by quite a notch: I have 2987 of 3977 completed: which is 75,10% done atm, with said flaws. If you get rid of those achievements/counters you can`t obtain on live - I am at 2987 of 3252: which is 91,8% So, pretty please with lots of sugar on top, stop shoving un-obtainable achievements on servers where you can`t obtain them. Also, please dear Sir(s), get a coder in for half an hour to get rid of unobtainable ones and/or fix the ones regarding Guild General / Guild Raids. Thank you for your consideration! A humble tester.
Heya, I decided to take some time in between the beta testing and live server to come and test out the Hero's festival. Yes, the mount is definitely a good incentive. Unfortunately, I am a little bit overwhelmed at the task at hand, I have to start from level 1, with no vet bonuses and no coins or any items I could use to help with the leveling. Having to start from scratch is a daunting task! Sure, I could, (and did) claim a couple of bag of platinum using loyalty tokens, but sadly, I don't have much to use it on since the broker is slightly lacking... So, my suggestion is to allow us to /test copy. Now, I realize that test server is a home to some, with it's own economy, so this is surely why copies are not possible, so I would suggest to either a) copy a character naked, with no coins or items but keeping it's levels (Adventuring, crafting, etc.), spells/abilities and tithe and such. or b) copy with what they are wearing and nothing else, with the exception of knowledge gained as mentioned in A. Since equipped items are attuned anyway. This could help test to test some content, such as these PQ's, since it would allow some character with more "oomph" to help with completing them within the required time. Also, this would allow those of us that would love to help with test(s) to not have to start all over again.
I don't know if it'll help but I created a trial heroic character. It comes in at 95, has a mount, gear and adept spells. Didn't have money which means I couldn't buy my warden port spell, but it at least made me able to do things
Thank you, I pondered that as well... but being a trial character, it felt... temporary restricted? I'm not going on test for a few minutes, get the goody and leave, so I made a new character instead since it seemed like a more permanent option.
Well, my understanding of a trial character may be out of date but doesn't it mean you can keep it as long as you want, it just won't level? I used a save of my characters looks and her AA spec and I consider her my 'vacation' or alternate universe Amemyst
test server always was, and is meant to be start from scratch. It dwindled in time to a small number of active players, and there are few who play exclusively there, but most of test server players are active on live servers. And jump on test when stuff is put in and needs to be tested. When you're on test server /join test. It's a cross server channel, holler if you need anything, someone might answer and come help. When you're on another server type /join test.test to join that channel and listen in on going ons there there's no magic way to get to 100 and your best gear as you have it on live, but pl-ing exists on test too
Considering it's test server, and not crossable in any way to live, this should behave as Beta server IMO, and have buffers to boost levels for testing a bit more quickly. More test time, less grind grind!
I found my missing shiny! I can't click on it though for the first spot in Missing Decorations in Qeynos.
Yes, that is where is spawned in for me as well. I do not remember it appearing there last year, a better location would be aroudn the fountain. I even deleted the quested and tried again, it still spawned in at that location.
To get this back on track Kaitheel: please let us know when Ant, CL and SS are behaving again for the Mischeva mobs, and we can attempt to get enough bodies to take them down. The ones we've killed are only giving credit to the person who did the final blow, and the ones we can't kill in the time allotted ... well, maybe we can get enough weekend crowd. Thanks! Testers, please be sure you're calling out attempts in the /test channel. Those on other servers, please keep an ear on /test.test I'll try to keep an eye on there while I am in beta, so I can hop over and help as needed.
