DDO is broken

[irivan]

Story: So tonight, I logged on thinking I would get the last 40K I needed to complete the last TR i did on my monk.

Unfortunately I was unable to achieve this goal, I am very disappointed.

Reason: So we first attempted Sins of Attrition Elite, got to the Efreeti portion of the quest, did not spawn, recalled, reset, went back in, same thing, so we gave up on that one.

Next we tried our luck in the new quest overgrowth, just as the release notes said, the end boss became unresponsive.

Then we went into the inspired quarter, did the quest with Wylkes, and then moved on to the inspiration center, got done with the initial fight, and the skeleton, and rust monster spawned, but no Marut, killed them, and quest would not advance.

After waiting some time A GM responded to my ticket, and just automatically said he could not help us.

I asked him why he is even there, why he has a job, I mean for real, in all of the problems related to game play that I have had since launch, I think they have been able to help me exactly one time, and apparently their powers have diminished since then.

This is a really sad day for me Turbine, but if the game is this unplayable, and the bugs just keep rolling in with unbearable force, I think I am just going to find another game eventually, I really like playing this game, please give me some options.

Please empower your Customer Support staff to complete missions that have broken, give them the ability to close quests that have broken on the spot, give them the ability to reward players with loot and XP, so that when they have been vandalized of their time they wont feel robbed, doing this would put to an end a lot of the angst players have towards quest based bugs.

As it presently stands though, until you patch this thing, and fix it, I just cant play it.

It is broken, and a waste of my time.

Ill be watching the forums for some news about this......Till then C'est la vie, your loss.

While I don't want to defend the state of the game in any way now, it probably should be said that you really hit an exceptional streak of those broken quests there. Now it goes without saying that even one broken uncompletable quest (much more so one that has just been released that way...) is too much, but as a rough estimate theres probably ~10-20 more or less broken quests right now.

That being said, I completely understand your sentiment and would be ****ed off just as much had the same happened to me, in that special situation especially.

Assault on Summerfield, yesterday...

We killed the mobs gating in on the wall in order to get the advance to clean out the enemies in front of the wall. All mobs killed, no advance. Huh? Running through the area behind and in front of the wall resulted in 2 mobs gateing in on the wall 5 minutes later... We then killed them easily and advanced with the quest normally.

Late spawning mobs is the problem?

I do not fill in tickets or bug reports for late spawning mobs when we ultimately could finish the quest without GM help, but I wonder what this is all about. In my guild several people were complaining about late spawning mobs. No unfinished quests so far, thank god.

this is really sad and unfortunately true, i'm sad more than angry to read that one of the old players has lost his patience with this game, but honestly i can't blame you, i'm not as old as you, i started playng some time ago on our old (and gone) EU servers, but as you say lately this game feels a little too stretched and rushed...
I hope that someone will notice this thread and maybe say something (by someone i mean at least a moderator or whatever) even if i'm sure that our moderator have to read all our posts, i'm not sure that the ones that SHOUD really get this message will get it.

amen my brother, i started playing at free to play beta, went vip and even got a cd key before ftp started. state of the game is blowing monkeygoats right now. the list of issues is too big. at this point turbine needs to fix the bug reporting system so all we have to do is hit a button and add like 10 words. have it put queest location server ect ect. because im sick of that **** thats the testers job. and maybe talking like a caveman will help


"quest broke. no end fight"

really that is about all you need to know outside what quest. that way maybe some one might be able to catchup on the bug reports.


you broke my game...

Other quest broken :

1) The Devil You Know : Tried a hard run last night and the judge didn't spawn 2 times in a row. Then we tried on normal and all gone well

2) Master Artificier : Tried an epic hard yesterday. The quest bugged at last final room, first wave of mobs. After the first wave of the first wave mobs stop spawn. We submit a ticket and a DM let some other mobs spawned. We killed em easily but everytime we kill what he put on table the quest bug again and after 3-4 times the DM say "I can't do nothing else for u, sorry"

as a rough estimate theres probably ~10-20 more or less broken quests right now.

Assuming of course that all of the broken quests have been discovered and mentioned on the forums.

[irivan]

Despite the quests being broken, which will be most in some way or another, consider the current major bug effects any mob that must spawn, I am sure it is more than 20-30 quests.

To the person that said I have an exceptional streak - this happened the day before yesterday as well.

There are many quests in key chains that have mobs that spawn when you trigger an event, like every single series that has a raid involved, I mean you cant even flag without going through one of these has this event, and this potential bug, and not to mention the new content is definitely bugged. I cant waste 40 min of time doing this or that to get nothing because it broke. That turns into hours of my time wasted accomplishing nothing much.

The most aggravating part of this by far though, is the outright refusal and inability of the customer support team to help you. And more importantly their asinine request that I, or some one other than them file a bug report after having the issue explained to them at great detail.

Very frustrating.

It is very frustrating, but to be fair on the GM, it does sound like theres some global issue(s) that are causing this, meaning that it probably does require a change to, say the physics engine or whatever, in which case it needs a dev not a GM to fix.

That said, it does need a rapid fix from someone!
