the hoelbrak helmet has been changed quite a bit recently. Aside from the horns looking silly now, the helmet and shoulder pads are now fused when you wear the helmet and the dye controls for the helmet now control helmet and shoulder pads, while the shoulder pad dye applies to nothing, unless you remove the helmet completely. Yesterday the dye colors for shoulder pads and helmet were correctly separated and looked nice. At this point I can just hide the helmet and things look a lot better. Why ruin the helmet though it looked so nice?
i clicked cancel on the email resend button and it launched. the last dozen times i had tried to verify my account it failed so i gave up and ignored it.
I get no errors, no feedback, the game just will not run. I have been playing just fine for nearly every night since early access. This patch just suddenly killed the game. I have the auto start button checked so it counts down for five seconds but then never starts. The play button is greyed out. Running as admin of course, no firewall issues, the game has been fine since launch. Also no errors display.
Nentor Valley
help defend the mining camp from skritt
This event has been stuck at 7/8 waves for hours now, there are no skritt around.
Cannot buy karma items from the vendor here because he is stuck in fight mode.
all of the town is also stuck in fight or cower mode.
I finally beat this one at level 28. the trick to winning for me was to change how the staff worked. in options change the staff to fire off as soon as you push a number. if you do this while running it will drop a symbol on the ground where you are at. and then you kite and spam your symbols. to take a break, i filled my slots with all pet summons. this time the one time that veteran harpy thing hit me i didnt just instantly die, i had enough hps left to give me the .5 seconds i needed to hit my heal button before the dot finished me off. My pets also seemed to last a little longer so maybe it wasnt a complete scale down? If you run to far away the harpy will suddenly heal itself though. after that harpy is dead the crab veteran that follows is a laughable pushover.
I finished at level 22 with food buff and destroyer potion, and adapting your idea for the engineer by using the bomb kit: in a very similar way I ran away while spamming bombs behind me. Some combination of all this let me finally survive and finish the quest. I was very happy to see that Shodd got auto rezed before the third wave with the crab veteran. Even so this doesn’t seem like a level 14 quest, though to be fair, this is my first character in this game and I didn’t do any pvp. I just made a character, went out and started leveling doing quests and events… then a short 14 levels in I get this. :/
Another small detail: “Beta Test” as a name makes it even harder to goggle strategies on how to complete the quest. >_>
Did you happen to notice when the harpy first pops out of the portal the first thing that NPC says is “hey thats not fair”. I laughed. Well and then i ran.
I abandoned my story for this very reason. The asura quest ‘beta test’. Every now and then as I complete other lands, level crafting, get new gear, etc. i stop by to see if it is any different. The second flying veteran thing one shots me every single time. I am starting to wonder if the leveling mechanism is just going to make things worse and worse as i go along. Someday in the far future when im in a big guild we will treat my personal stuck story as a big raid event and see how huge it will scale.
I am stuck at the exact same spot in Beta Test. It’s listed at a level 14 quest — at level 20, I cannot complete it. I’ve purchased armor and weapon upgrades, chosen different utility skills, and each time I have no chance of success. Just hit level 21, and I plan to try again with a food buff and potion, we’ll see, but at this point given the number of times I’ve easily died I don’t hold much hope. It’s so bad I’ve started leveling other characters, and have told myself that on my engineer, I just won’t be able to progress in my personal story.
Right now, I’m not in a guild and I don’t know anyone else in game. I assume if I found some people willing to go with me to this quest, we’d be able to finish it — but I strongly feel, for a personal story, I should be able to complete it solo. It’s my personal story, not the story of a group of adventurers! I almost wonder if this is designed to make solo players go out and find guilds or people to group with…
