Funny Shroud moment.

[TrinityTurtle]

This made me laugh. :) We're in hard, in part 4. Just killed harry, and a purple bag drops. Everyone runs off, I click on it on my way out and get the message that i just recieved an epic token fragment. *artificer comes to a screeching halt - what?* I check my bag, and yes, there it is.

I alert the other on the mic. Sure, it's only one fragment, but free fragment is free.

11 people do NOT believe me. And tell me so quite clearly. :) A little light hearted fun is poked. Howeever, 11 people came back and clicked. Then a there was a soft chorus of "****, she's right"

It did make me laugh that they all went back to click even while so clearly not believing. :) So thank you guys not only for a great run, but a good laugh.

I was there on my monk. Got an epic token fragment.

Looks like Harry dropped it.

[ulticleo]

for the record, I believed you :D

[Ilindith]

Looks like they didn't completly fix that one.

[TrinityTurtle]

Woot! One person believed me. :) *Hugs ulticleo*

IT was a fun run with fun people too aside from the token silly.

What was there to fix?

What was there to fix?

A LONG standing bug was the occasional presence of Epic Ward in non-epic quests. Any CR24 (or maybe CR25, I forget the cutoff) or higher mob in a non-epic quest where the Epic Ward bug was present could drop a token fragment. It was a common occurrence on higher difficulty instances of the Amrath flagging quests.

It was worse pre-u9, especially in quests like Sleeping Dust or part 1 of the Shroud, because an epic warded mob could NOT be insta-killed (aside from rare effects like Prismatic Ray/Spray, Void Strike 4, and Trap the Soul weapons/guards).

For a time around u8, the epic ward bug would trigger sometimes over half the time you went into a Shroud or Vale quest, along with many other areas.

Explained it better than I would ever had.

Since Harry cannot be insta-killed anyway, I do not see it as a problem

Did not say it was a problem, but it is certainly not WAI.

The problem was (mainly) Sleeping Dust, and to a lesser extent the Air Ele's in Reaver's Fate. Harry dropping a fragment is just a sign that the bug (epic ward affects charm times and stat damage, and orange named epic warded mobs still have death block) is still happening.

When a bug, for nearly 2 years, was fixed and brought back REPEATEDLY, that just shows there are some serious version control issues going on.

IIRC, monsters above a certain CR are considered "Epic" and have a chance to drop a T-bag fragment. I've seen it happen in Elite Amrath quests, for example.

I always will believe my Turtley!!!!!

Which is exactly the problem. Monsters falling into the epic category when they should not.

Awww hugs and love to my Skorpy. you were the first one to come back and try it. :)

With the definition of "epic" changing to mean "anything CR20 or above" they may just make it WAI. Even if the quest isnt epic, the mobs CR can still be epic.

I remember that bug, along with the "timer bug" where we would type /quest and we would be on timer for quests in amrath and inspired quarter.
