Quest Issue: Pulsing Green Stone

[Erati]

I think Cucumber's boss at work needs to start limiting his internet access !!!

[Daldaen]

Don't worry Eratani brother.

Daldaen has evidence on evidence. I made it rain evidence and I think we both agree that after a point (pre-epic change) it was a guaranteed 2 stones. It just wasn't that way the entire time. Possibly why the Druid epic took so long to solve.

Awe c'mon now - any significant change like this should be thoroughly researched to ensure we're making the proper change.

It's kind of like science. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And timelines are important for the future!

I think I did thoroughly research it. The only things to the contrary are extremely early epic posts. After the epic was solved they are either reporting 2 stones or not reporting stones cause they were dirt common at that point in time.

I'm trying to remember from this time, now if I recall correctly one of the reasons VSR was put in was because Rangers and druids were screaming about the fact the pulsing stones didn't drop as often as they should as well as the long window on him appearing.

Just sayin.

[Daldaen]

Facts. I have them, lots of them infact.

Those who disagree have recollection or 1/2 weak posts.

(11/16) Druid FA solved! (Sobe and HaroTTM)

Basically I think after that Nov 15th patch, the stones were 2x every time and *maybe* renamed / the quest made more clear where to find them / what dropped em?

[Supaskillz]

Now you get to stand in a different line for your epic

[khanable]

I see stones referred to as pulsating green stones and pulsing green stones

Typo or name change..?

Anywho;
