Gorgolack, Itch (Mantis), and Flordiel Quest Problems...

[sypher001]

Devs,

Wanted to start off saying i love how you are takign us back to the EQ1 velious type setup with 3 competing factions... really should be fun when completed, and love the area.

That said, when can we expect this area to 'really' go live?

2 patches ago some of the major changes to the area came to live... including new named, itemization, introduction to faction (which made faction to easy but i appreciate it now having 20k faction hehe), but none of the quests for the armor were completable yet (a few items for quests were dropping like essence but others werent).

This last patch a few more quests went in along with the new 'lead in' quest lines around the outpost to the north (erani i believe is the name?) and those have a few great rewards and its small group or soloable which is awesome....

But we are still left with half implemented faction/armor quests.... emissaries give you one or two quests to give you a very MINOR faction boost (keep in mind my group has 20k faction so not a big deal but new players will be frustrated)... and then no further quests.

We did all the quests in gorgo swamp (renamed) one or two ended in a rare reward but they were very easy and short... and the quests still arent implemented in flordiel yet... vendors work but no quest givers.. they put in the armor quest npc in the mantis city now, but they have the same drop requirements as the gorgolak armor quests (which doesnt make sense faction wise).


Can we get a heads up from the dev responsible for this area so get an 'estimated' timeline when these stuff will go live for real? there are a ton of bugs, but realize its not completed.

Thanks!

no thoughts from others on forums? devs?

I have my screenshot/bug report in a seperate thread, but I agree with your post though, they're not finished, nor was Sigil pretending they were. Not sure how they snuck in ...

Also, a Monk and I were fooling around in the swamp, and managed to pick up 2 Gorgalok quests while invis (still KOS due to my -17k full faction).

The quest to gather 10 Bog Snake fangs, didn't give any faction.
The quest to kill 10 Fen Watchers, seemed to give the correct faction (+250 Gorg, -125 Itchytaka, -250 Flordiel).

I just started this last night, but I cant seem to get a starter quest. I picked the Itchytaka (which seems to have mitigation type armor..I hope). I talked with the Emissary but nothing happens after that. Thoughts? I'm lvl 42 if this the case.

[Jakys]

At the risk of drawing an incorrect conclusion before it's all put in game, it appears to us that the Itchytaka (insects) are the ones to give defensive class armor, (probably with the mitigation you're looking for) the Gorgs (trogs) are for the offensive class armor, and the Flordiel (half-elf sorta) is the "balanced" set.

[Hachan]

Yeah that seems right..just the reason I picked them. But after i spoke to the first npc (emissary), nothing happens and all the insect are aggro still. I didnt talk to any other emissaries

Personally this is why I'm holding off on even starting this area until its fully Live in the game and working at least semi-as-intended.

I see a LOT of potential here, and we are definetely planning on moving the guild here once the place goes Live, but right now it almost appears as though its not even worth exploring due to the nature of the bugs/not working as intended.

Same... I'm also level 42 and I've made my choice to ally with these insectoids however when I got referred to the emissary I got the quest completed yet received no followup quest. I don't know whether it's because I'm too low, is faction related, a bug or a combination of the three. I hadn't done any faction grinding when I turned in the quest, tried to get a few positive faction hits today and that did nothing to change the situation either.

Need to be 45 to get the starter quests.
