Since I'm off ransack.. decided to run it a few times.. I always run it on LE.. so go in..

no Nibbles...

I mean, fucker is NO-WHERE to be found. Scour that entire quest 6 times, and just as I'm about to fucking rage-quit......

He's underwater in the canal, just fucking sitting there....

SERIOUSLY???? And to make the whole run a delectable, tasty, kick in the bawlz.. it completed out @ just under an hour and got absolute JACK SHIT in the final chest. *sigh*

Oh yeah... almost forgot, they've upped the power for mobs, and they seem to be bypassing fortification quite easily now if it's under 200...

Yeah nibbles can sometimes spawn in clearly buggy places.  I know, a bug in this game, unbelievable right?  But in my experience he most often spawns near the end fight, followed by outside the tavern, followed by the shrine shrub area.

It can be hard, but sometimes you need to be able to recognize when you are throwing too much time at a bad situation.  The quest can easily be completed in well under 10 minutes, so if you don't find him in the easy to find locations, it might just be best to just restart.  And no, none of this is an excuse for a buggy spawn, its just if you choose to continue playing a known buggy game it's best to recognize where its limitations are and try to avoid wasting too much time on them. 

I mean, I could submit a bug report and wait for Turbine's Crack team of QA and coding specialists to fix this particular glitch, but I choose to restart it rather than choosing to die of old age waiting for the fix.
  

The USA is having so many disasters and tragedies you'd almost think it was built on thousands of ancient Indian burial grounds.

It took me awhile to accept this with running epic Big Top. If the game bugged on the end fight you're better off just biting the bullet and restarting. You could have run the quest 3 or 4 times before they fixed that one run for you.

Nibbles can be a PITA.  I like that his spawn point varies.  Hopefully, they clean it up vs. just making him static.

I've had Big Top bug on me on EE... I logged out and back in fast as I could and that fixed it. After the 1st cycle of attacks she refused to activate. And I have finally learned my lesson about calling for GM assistance for anything in-game... they wait till the second you log off to respond saying they wanted to help but weren't online. LAWL

She and several other bosses have trouble when you accidentally heal her. (Same problem if you find a way to deal damage while they're inactive). Some can be made to skip (or endlessly resummon) a wave of mobs; others just get mad & stop playing.

Druid's Curse end boss was really bad for this, you could get him to negative HP and then he would never die.

I was pretty disappointed when I couldn't get the Haunted Halls Mummy to spawn an extra wave of minions with the Gloaming Philter.
