Heroes' Festival 2021 - Feedback and Bugs

Discussion in 'Test Server Forum' started by Kaitheel, Oct 28, 2021.

    The Heroes' Festival has begun on Test!

    We invite all Norrathian adventurers to commemorate our years of questing, raiding, tradeskilling, house decorating, and socializing. Obtain special items, including new mounts, from festival merchants in Freeport and Qeynos. While you’re there, be sure to seek out Lothaire Stormgazer, one of the many celebrators in the city. He would love to reminisce with you about one of the many heroic acts being honored at this festival.

    You won't want to miss The Mischeva Play-Actors and their clothwork creations touring through Antonica, the Commonlands, Sinking Sands, Kylong Plains, the Eidolon Jungle, and Stonebrunt Highlands!

    I must warn you though, not all is well during this time of celebration. Laral Spenler, a traveling trader in Antonica, claims to have witnessed a mysterious abduction. She now waits for the hero she claims is fated to help.

    At level 120 I encountered no problems with the new quest. House items place correctly and look good. No problems with the appearance items or mounts. Love the dragon items!

    One Afterlife to Live - whomever named this quest, this is one of the reasons why I play this game, for things like this.
  4. Kaitheel Developer


    Sometimes I think it's the reason I am still here.
  5. Schmetterling Well-Known Member

    it's the reason for the season .
    And we are happy your are still here Kaitheel , the test server forum would just not be the same without you .
  6. Hartay Keeper of the Server Hamsters

    time to get festive..

    also i'll have 500 "tenth_anniversary_event_coin" pls :D
  7. Chikkin Well-Known Member

    so this Laral Spenler... she needs a hero? And... he's gotta be strong? And he's gotta be fast? And he's gotta be fresh from the fight?
    /ponder
    Does he have to be soon? and larger than life?
    She might be holding out for a hero 'till the morning light...

    The Sleeping Xygoz Plushie is missing pants. All the other dragons will make fun of him.
  9. Schmetterling Well-Known Member

    :p Because it's more airy like that :D

    I think there was a mistake for asking for 10th anniversary coins .
    Uwkete-of-Crushbone and Breanna like this.
  13. Kaitheel Developer


    No, the 10th anniversary coin (known to players as Mischeva's Tribute) was a designer side note that had accidentally been included in the announcement post, and Hartay was teasing me about it. There is no bug with the coin or the event merchants.

    Correct. One Afterlife to Live has a predicate. You must have completed "A Dream Adventure" to get it offered to you.

    The 5 new festival themed items (including 2 mounts) are indeed on the merchant, and do not have a predicate of any kind to see them, I just confirmed this on the Test server.

    are the mounts 2 carpets ?
    I had a hard time finding those , I only found them by their price .
    Both mount look nice :)

    is the overseer quest intended to be giving out old season rewards?

    edit: maybe its just a display error on the reward crate preview thingy in overseer?

  17. Schmetterling Well-Known Member

    yes , that's how it was with Nights of the Dead , old quests , old rewards .
    I figured better some old quests than none .

    I really wished there were more items on that merchant for Heroes Festival , I was really looking forward to those
    festival carts and tents and such on Tarinax :(.

    I think I am missing something in this discussion. There is a new quest. It does have new rewards.

  19. Kaitheel Developer

    Two of the new items on the event merchant are the Festival Tents.

    Are there others you'd like to request?

    All three of the festival carts / wagons are already available.

    Is there another one you know is in the world, and that you'd like to request?
