just out of curiosity does anyone know how to tell the differance between the true hider or the fake ones in the hide and seek event??

Over the weekend I thought I'd give the event a try, with the help of two other Druids, I failed at finding the "correct" Hider. King Dronan said the game was over.

Monday night I tried again with the help of two Ranger guildies. First Hider we killed had the bag! All the Seekers despawned. I guess that is a good indication of when you got the right one or not.

Good Luck.

The fake ones emote that they aren't the real one, and they don't give exp.

Every fake hider I've killed *did* give experience, dropped nothing but plat, and gave no emote or any indication that they were the 'wrong' ones. After killing several, I have decided to put the quest on hold until Sony makes a few changes.

No objections to having some elements of luck in questing, but when the game's random generator can waste as much time as I've spent gathering pieces repeatedly to re-create goblin disguises just to trigger this event (not to mention the waiting around for "7pm EQ-time") for every attempt, and all that effort can be easily hosed by KSers .... well, that's just poor design for an Epic quest.

Agree Firemynd. The biggest panic I had while doing this part was watching the zone to see other druids enter, and then had the thought of, "just maybe they will kill it before me"

I did see an emote on the fake one I killed, lucky the second one (and only other one I noticed) was the real one.

The oppurtunities for abuse are just written all over this one. I guess do what I did and hope you and your friends are the only ones in zone at the time. I guess the advantages of off-peak play time.

P.S. I don't think it actually emoted until I attacked it, which sort of makes it pointless unless you intend to some how ignore it while searching for the real one.

Does anyone know if on Morell Thule if the SK part of the epic is bugged? I have stayed there for 2 days now and no spawn of anything /sigh. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. I did however send in a bug report hoping something will be done.

Thank you so much Galadhriel for the link. I see from that thread I am not the only one experiencing problems.
