Simple warning for you folks at the Vex Thal level.

GM's are no longer allowed to de-spawn any warder for any reason.

This means that if you kill a named and try to continue, and there's a warder that has not de-spawned, you're screwed. Gm's will not, indeed are not PERMITTED, to help you with this bug that they have often admitted is a known bug, any longer. They will not de-spawn the warder for you.

So now not only to they know about the bug, they refuse to fix it even on the as-it-occurs level, even though they have fixed it many times in the past. Bet they have no plans to even fix the problem so it doesn't happen to begin with, either.

EQ CS boggles my mind.

You can thank the guilds that were killing mobs out of order, then petitioning to get warders despawned claiming to be innocent for this. Greed always comes full circle.

A simple way to fix the problem for the guilds that are in there legitly (by that I mean killing mobs in the right order), I believe, is to simple drop the spawn timer on Warders so that they always spawn before their associated named.

As I understand the problem, it's that due to their random spawn timer, the warders can aactually spawn AFTER the mob is killed that was supposed to despawn it.

It's a pretty simple and easy fix.

When this happened to my guild a GM actually did show up in zone in response to our petitions. However all we got was a "sorry we can't do anything" and some magical cookies. Somehow the cookies did not do much to sweeten our tempers after all that clearing....

*gasp* EQ CS drops another thing from their very small list of things they'll do? :lol:

A Lead GM has now informed me that the warders in Vex Thal are "working as intended" after months of GM's referring to it as a "known bug/issue".

Uh-huh.

I bet Absor isn't going to touch THIS one with a 10 foot pole, either.

Daemonwind must be a Unix guy. I think we're the only ones that spell demon with an "a". ;)

It was like the Tron of CGI Animation, except that Tron was the Tron of CGI Animation.



Seriously, it was a Saturday morning cartoon series done completely in 3D CGI.
