Survey: incomplete Shield of Aegis quest?

[Rheanna]

Me again, just spent another day from 9.30 til (going to be 1am) waiting for undead Grimrot to spawn and after chatting with Vart we're wondering if there's a way to find out how many paladins and clerics still need undead grimrot. Between Vart and I we've camped 183 hours solid this week, which is like 58 spawns or something and we know of quite a no. of people trying to get onto the camp or who have walked away in disgust. Is there a way the GMs can do a system message to get folks to post if they've started and been unable to finish the quest because 'working as intended' doesn't mean an awful lot if there's scores of folks that haven't actually completed it, not for lack of trying.

I know its probably been asked time and time before but why is it so rediculously hard a quest for normal peeps that are willing to put in their time and don't want to MQ. I've managed to get on with so much between spawns like feeding my friends cat, making mince pies, hell I've even made a papermache turkey this month! but I'd rather be playing..

And on another note can we have some chargers and coursers walking past please, maybe a clops or 2, maybe some lovely lift music and people to deliver food and water as really 3h+ with nothing to do is just mean EQ. Even bears, lots of lovely HQ bears to skin!

Please and thanks ;-)

For every score of people that don't have it there is a score of people that have. That isn't to say that the spawn script is broken, it's been known to happen like the ancient croc breaks pretty often (though I think they fixed that for next patch). Wait for a dev to chime in before you give up. First rule of EQ, when you leave the camp the next spawn will be a named.

There is nothing wrong with the spawn. It's not even scripted. As long as the placeholder is popping it is fine.

Checked and considered resolved.

So... thats a no to the bears then? ;-) I appreciate you looking into the spawn Alunova but as I'm heading into my 4th week and presently on like day 8 of 9am to midnight ish camps then I may well become another statistic of the people that don't finish this working quest. Which is dissappointing as a quest should have an end, certainly at a time when you can use the piece rather than sporting a cloth cape at 36. You're right Evilkorn, its hard to leave a camp like this and not be haunted by the thought the next was going to be the one...

[Alunova]

That's classic. There are many quests that are not even complete. Not everything is logical or fair or balanced. It's what many players love to hate about the classic experience. You will have the same chances of getting this spawn as anyone else who has tried since the server has been up.
