What happened to The Underdark Slayers?

[Lerincho]

Why with update 17 were the slayers in The Underdark turned off? Yes the rares and explorers still work; however, everyone is still required to run to discover the city portal before not having to return to The Underdark again. My question to Glin since Fernando is finally gone, why is such a populated landscape not counting slayers? Nothing in the release notes, or known issues list provides any information. Why was The Underdark slayers turned off? Why can we not teleport straight to the city if The Underdark is pointless? Something to inform your population would be called for with this type of change.

I noticed this last night too.
Curiously, if you check the Wilderness tab and see the list of explorer areas, the Underdark slayer total number is still displayed but is grayed out.

Have the devs turned the slayers off? If so, why on earth would they do such a stupid thing? As you say, it makes the Underdark exploration pointless and boring.
If the devs did not turn it off, then it must be yet another bug.

I saw the same thing about a week ago and posted a thread about it but got nothing but crickets. Guess it wasn't just me after all.

The underdark slayers has been getting grayed out since U14 launched, something bugs it out
It's been bug reported

That's how they roll these days? I'm inclined to think it's a bug, but honestly, we're at the point where anymore,I cannot be certain. Bad design after bad design lately, so who knows?

This is inaccurate information, as up until Update 17 I had been enjoying killing drow, purple worms, yuan-ti and all the other various monsters within the Underdark. Kill count is not working so much so if you zone in the slayers portion of the objectives does not even show.

The Freeing Slaves explorer objective is gone too! Boo!

You used to free them? Callous dog that I am I would let them die :D BWAhAhAHA

(We're not talking about my lack of skillzor here k?)

Such a large area with only 1 quest in it (the big bit - not the small city bit) I always wonder if they were planning to do more.

Yeah,same here... is pointless this way
