No kidding.  Let's say you pulled the Turbine team together and asked "Other than turning the servers off, what can we do to make sure we never get another new player?"

Completely breaking the intro quest would have to be at or near the top of the list, right?  Or it might be second on the list, just after popping a message that says "Fuck off we don't want you here."

Then again, that doesn't keep new folks out of The Vault, so maybe it wouldn't be at the top of the list.   Huh

No, I think this was Turdbine's best solution to solving the lag problems.

I was chatting to someone who recently tried running The Grotto (the first mandatory quest in the game after character creation) and it was bugged and not completable.  They tried 4 or 5 times with the same issue (NPC pathing from the sounds of it).  WTF?




You sure your chat buddy isn't retarded?  I just ran the damn thing a couple of weeks ago and it seemed fine.  can't imagine a bug like that not being a major whine in the motherboreds.

It gets bugged sometimes, a guildy had a similar issue in the Grotto with the npc going brain dead after talking to it.

What happened to me the first time I ran it. The first fight was went as scripted, with all the NPC's there. I talked to jeets afterwards to opened the trapped door. I then zerged like I always do. At the end fight the only one that was there was Jeets. I figured I had broke the quest by over zerging it. I ran all the way back to the begging to look for Calimas with no luck. And you have to talk her or the quests won't complete, and you can't just click on the door to enter Korthos it gives you an error message about having to complete the quest first. So I did it again. The second time at the first fight. Calimas was the only one with me there, after that fight I couldn't even progress because whichever NPC opens the gate to get the key never spawned. Sure am glad I did this on my main server, because I have this vague memory of not being able to even skip the storyline if you haven't done it at least once.

The chat buddy was a friend I convinced to try the game out.
And no he isn't retarded, but thanks for your concern.

Pretty sure I'm not retarded either, so I just created a new mule account and it happened 8 times in a row before I got bored.
Jeets very obviously gets stuck with pathing, and then becomes non-responsive at the trap door.  Other NPC's get stuck at various points too.
I tried different things each time, slowing down, pausing between scripted actions etc.  Different bugs, same net result.

Of the many accounts I have created, never had this happen before either.  But it is happening now.
Guess it must be a bit random.  NPC pathing in general has been buggy for awhile.

But this is what new players to the game encounter and they cannot bypass or progress.

You know what guys, this is what I love about the vault. The first 5 pages of this thread is us giving some guy shit over some gay and retarded shit he put in his bio. This site truly is the opposite of the official forums.

On the MB threads start off, about half the time, being someone with a legitimate complaint or suggestion, then de-evolving into a "my internet pee pee is bigger than your internet pee pee." Here on the vault threads start out as total fucking bullshit and evolve into something productive and useful, sometimes, you just have to be able to get through the first five pages.

Shhhh - we hide the good stuff down the back of threads.
We just hope Cordo doesn't have the appetite to read beyond the first few pages (or can use a search engine).   Grin

If I were you I would go for the metal print, that way if someone gets crazy over you for holding a sign, you can always use it as a weapon.

I hear you. There are many levels of crazy. I tend to find myself bouncing back and forth between, "crazy like a fox," and "bat shit crazy."

Crazy like a fox gets more done, but bat shit crazy is more fun.

That was almost exactly my same conversation/reaction... back in 2010...  have seen zippidty-doodah-squatola in advertising from Turbine since....

I mean, 6 freaking LotR/Hobbit movies have come and gone, and Turbine still had zero advertising for their LOTRO game....  imagine seeing an add in one of those pre-movie
trailer spots in a theater - talk about a targeted audience...  what a missed opportunity.

/Signed!

And not just a teleporter to tie into the teleporter network, they need an NPC to teleport to quest entrances once you've been there, and to teleport between entrances while you are inside so you can run all of the quests in the chain without endless running or recalling and going back in.

We've payed both our TP and our grind dues, and you've nerfed the XP and drop rates, so just let us run the quests already.

A hot 20 year old can afford to be coy, when you're 45 you need to get to business before your customer falls asleep.
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

Well I am glad you lol'd at this, because the humor was lost on me. Maybe you should explain it to me like I am doggyrapist.

And Cosmic, lol you made my fucking day when I saw your new avatar. I was a long hard day of de-construction, followed by construction, lots of cussing, and throwing of the hammer.

Thanks I really needed it!

Tested grotto on Orien with a human barbarian, G-land with a halfling monk, Thelanis with a warforged sorc, and Khyber with a halfing rogue and all went fine.

On each life I zerged the quest as fast as possible and the NPCs were always right behind me.  On the rogue, I trapped the trap without even talking to jeets.

The closest I got to breaking it was on the rogue life, I tried dragging the end fight, along with all the NPCs, nearly all the way back to the trapped door.  This broke Celimas' dialoge near the end, but after the wf caught up she became responsive and gave me my end reward.

At this point I got lazy and decided not to do any more.
