View Full Version : "Reaver' Fate" working as intended?

Twice in the past week I've been in parties where one player was knocked through the barrier.

No big deal, DDO has two elementals on that side of the barrier to kill people on the wrong side of the barrier. Since the update people killed by the elementals aren't being sent to the penalty room and subsequently dropped on side of barrier where the chest spawn.

The two incidents I am referring to the players started on the correct side of the barrier and were knocked to the otherside by elementals.

Both times the GM responding moved thier ghost to correct side of barrier but they were recalled to thier soul stones before they could reach the res. shrine.

In the first incidence the GM then moved me across barrier to collect the soul stone and then back so the player could res. and get the end chests; but last night the GM said "the game mechanics are working correctly" and the other player gave up and left.

Is one of the "new" game mechanics for the Reaver's Fate raid the chance to be knocked out of the play area by elementals and not allowed to get the chests at the end of the game? I hope not :(

I was in a group that did it last week, and succeeded. With zero raid loot dropping, I can't think of any reason to do it again.

I've heard tell of people being knocked through the barrier in Thirteenth Eclipse part 5. Basically allowing free looting without completion or actually beating the Pit Fiend.

Seems like there are some small errors with barriers all around, not just The Reaver's Fate.

If that is a new mechanic, it is one of worst mechanics of all time. What's the point of a barrier if it can't keep you from passing through it, even forcibly thrown through it? My guess is that it's a bug.

No it doesn't knock you through, if he teleports you to him and he is right up against the barrier this happens sometimes.
