Scrolls in Last Stand

[Cyr]

Can anyone confirm that there are items from the Red Fens that can not be made epic due to the scroll's being dropped in the epic chest of the last stand instead of seals?

If so that would make 3 epic quest lines where Turbine messed up an epic chests loot tables making some epic items from the packs uncompletable.

Edit: For clarity I know that Last Stand drops scrolls in the end chest. The question is that if this means that there are items from the Red Fens that no seals drop for currently.

think i pulled an elder's cap scroll from last stand's chest, if not it was claw of vulkoor but i really think it was last stand, and yes everyone else pulled scrolls...

[Pyromaniac]

Do I have an official dev post acknowledging it? No.

Do I know its bugged. Yes.

Was it tested before release even once: No

Got a scroll from there as well in the chest.

Not got seals from Last Stand, other quests - yes.

Unfortunately this is indeed a bug, but it's already been fixed on our developer build, so it'll be working well for Update 7. Sorry!

And update 7 is being released when?

I'm getting a little concerned about all this talk about bugs being fixed in Update 7, it's great they are being fixed and all, but going by past trends of updates every 2 months, we shouldn't be expecting update 7 until October or so. Which is still a long time to leave a third of the epic items in a pack broken.

Is there any chance of getting a sticky somewhere with all the announced fixes in update 7 and also, are the rest of the epic chest loot tables being fixed then too? (The Tide Turns etc)

My DDO had 3 dev posts today about their Update 7 schedule. Sounds like end of September for Update 7. Hopefully it fixes all 3 broken epic quests groups.

Hopefully it's taking until then because it also has half-orcs.

I believe they're actually continuing to compile and trying to fix bugs until the end of September, meaning it will likely be out around the end of the first week of October. Maybe more like the end (I have no idea how long it takes to go from a cut off date for bug fixes to the live setup being finished)

Hopefully it will fix many bugs, as well as the epic quests, the TOD chest issue, Barb Capstone etc as well as not introduce too many new ones. But as Mournlands plus whatever internal testing they do on these things seems to miss a few big things. (Really? No one noticed Epic quest chests don't actually drop what they're supposed to? No one noticed rage only effected one person) I'm assuming anyone creating anything other than a Half Orc Barbarian will crash the entire DDO server system.

I would like to say it's awesome (and offer kudos)that they are telling us about what bugs they've fixed and/or are working on though.

I would sure like to see the group buffs (Rage, Recitation, Prayer, etc) fixed ASAP as well!

Also, I don't run BAM much anymore, but I sure feel bad for all the uninformed who get to that end guy and fork over their Ore and get SQUAT!

Fix some bugs ASAP!!!

PLEASE don't wait until September/October for the release of 7 to fix the bugs introduced with 6 (or was it 6.1, or 6.2, or 6.3 - sorry I can't keep track) :eek:

On a side note, any hint as to a estimated date of arrival for update 7, besides soon, or SOON?

They say in the myddo posts that they're collecting/working on bug fixes included in U7 until the end of September.
I'd assume it should be in October sometime.

So all of sentinels epic items are broken, 1/3 of carnival and 1/3 of fens. Seriously, is this intentional? I mean, really? And can we expect the other two packs to get fixed too, or is it going to be 6 months out until U9 that they might get fixed?

[LeLoric]

It would appear we are not gonna have any in between update patches to fix some of the bugs present. Waiting till update 7 for way too many things when previous updates have offered a patch to fix the things that are wrong.

It is really sad that three updates in a row have had messed up epic loot drops preventing anyone from even making these items. Not to mention the spell bugs like rage. Or what about PM negative heals having saves and sr checks. Heighten bugs while using certain equipment with special level raising mocifications.

And these are just the recent bugs. What about the sulu tod chest, Dos and Sd threat while in stance, WF great weapon aptitude, Ranger capstone, pot use while raging, and the multitude of other things that are both on the known issues list and not on there.

Turbine really needs to take a second look at the QA process. Only so much new content can gloss over the growing list of bugs in the game. The majority of the population would rather see these things get cleaned up than another mid-level set of 5 quests with an epic option that really fails due to bugsmaking us not being able to complete the loot that is marginally useful at best anyways.

Just out of curiosity...when there's a bug that helps players out, or may be a bit of an 'exploit' (no cooldown anyone?) it gets a hotfix immediately. If it's a bug that's been here forEVER (barb rage?) or something that you indeed know is broken (even possibly before its release) we have to wait for the next update for it to be fixed?

[FrostBeard]

that bug wasn't fixed immediately it took them nearly two weeks to resolve it.

there are many more epic bugs out there too, some not mentioned as they are used to gain from.
Example: Trogs in dq1 firewall farm. (took months too fix, also use to lag-out the whole server too.)

The fact of the matter is that not enough testing is being done.

If they want to keep the players playing they really need to start fixing things very soon.
before all the big company's start releasing new MMO's like Wow Apocalypse, diablo3, DC Universe.

People will just get fed up with playing a game thats bugged to hell.
