View Full Version : Framework Ballista and Mabar - Bug?

Looking for community feedback to determine if this is a bug before I log it.

Background: I've been farming Framework for the ever elusive Teraza Sight, using the stealth method (no alarm). Basically, you sneak in with enough parts to repair the ballista that shoots into the boss room, kill the boss, loot the chest, and use the ballista to return to Dorris.

Issue: When I repaired the ballista and chose "Fire Away", it did the animation for shooting but left me standing there like a fool! Second try, it fired me right in. I kill the boss, loot the chest, and attempt to use the ballista to return me to Dorris. Animation fires, I'm left standing there. After the 5th attempt, I just jumped off the wall and ran to Dorris.

How does Mabar fit in? I've run this quest in the same fashion amongst 3 toons at least 25 times over the last 3 days, including this morning. This issue did not happen until Mabar was turned on.

I appreciate your feedback!

I haven't had this exact problem, but I have had other issues with those ballistae in the past. Namely, the one that fires you into the boss room had a decent chance to bounce me or one my guildies off a wall and have us end up outside the fort and having to run all the way back around again.

Same happened to me last night...took a couple tries. I thought it was because I was in wraith form.

I never use the ballista (save for leaving) so I don't know.

Half wonder if it is related to the "I think I'm logging out" bug.

Doubt it's mabar. I find this to be a consistent problem for me. I end up with a functional ballista maybe a quarter of the time. The other times, it shoots me outside, pings me off a wall, shoots me into the middle of a pack of enraged minotaurs, or just does nothing.

actually, this happens to me every time i run Framework. I use the ballista, and have to use it a second time because i am still standing there, more often than not, ON the ballista itself. It is really quite annoying when you get spotted standing on the darn thing. Feels like the entire town of cows is talking trash at the dinner table.

Obviously works as intended...

The minotaurs sabotaged the ballista to try to punk adventurers :P
