Abbot Chest Loot Bug... IS DRIVING US INSANE!!!!!

[cherokee83pride]

O.K. This is mainly a rant because Im tired of it happening to me and my friends. People keep getting skunked on chest loot in the Abbot Raid, and I mean we get nothing, not even the usual +1 **** loot. You do the raid and then get nothing for your time and effort?

I mean really, has it come to the point where coders are so lazy they want to sit back and dissallow players loot in a very rough raid? Myself Ive been skunked on chest loot 3 times so far. Several others have too, and all the reply I get from in help tickets and bug reports is all the same!!!!

See below for copy and paste of the same answer 3 times in a row:

***The issue you have described is either not a currently known issue that the In-Game Support team can assist with, or cannot be resolved with the information you have provided.

I mean really, come on people. If we run quests in DDO, we dont expect to be skunked on our loot. But, to be repeatedly told that there is no known issue, is a crock. Especially when there are so many people complaining about it!

I want to know right now how many folks has this happened to too???

Really would you want to do this raid, in thoughts that you would get loot from it, from the only chest that drops, and get zilch from it?

This needs to be fixed. NOW!!! Grrrrrrr

On that note,

Lovies all!!!!

This had better be fixed during U13, it's gone on long enough.

No loot at all for raid completions is just wrong. Don't want to hear about how chances are I'm going to get garbage anyway. I beat a raid, I should get paid.

Stop taking my loot rolls away from me.

This has happened several times to individuals in raids that I have been in. I am surprised you are getting the comment back "not on the known issues" as it is not possible that this is true.

I am sorry it has happened to you and your friends OP

There was some comment that this issue is due to the new token and that running this raid on normal may not generate this issue - that it is only an issue on hard and elite.

[Impaqt]

Why exactly do you keep running it when you have not seen that its fixed?

Loot table on hard/elite is borked. It's fixed currently on Lammania from what I hear. Until U13, there's no reason to run on anything but normal unless you care about seals a lot more than base loot.

[blerkington]

Hi,

@ Impaqt - the reason I keep running this raid is because I still want seals and completions.

What I don't want is to lose those things because loot tables aren't working properly. It's a choice we shouldn't have to make, especially with a raid which is so difficult to complete.

Thanks.

It took three entire years for them to acknowledge, yes ACKNOWLEDGE the weapon disappearing bug in the same raid. The players had to figure out why it was happening. Give me a shout in 2015 when this one gets fixed and maybe I will run abbot again. That content has been dead to me for quite some time now, due to the plethora od issues + better gear in other raids / quests.

Fixed in U13.

Would you prefer a shout now rather than later?

Or would you prefer a shout after U13 hits live and people that do run it confirm they are getting loot again?

[Moltier]

Fixed in U13.

Thats cool! So we will see those 20 +5 anarchic arrows again in that chest? Im so excited!

At least there is a 20th end reward... oh wait!

When the issues that only occur in that quest are fixed.

At least allow us to add the returning property to our triple positive mauls.

When you get a blank chest, you were supposed to have received a raid item. So you'll be seeing more raid loot in the chest, Mr Optimism.

The 20th end reward is related to the borked loot tables (20ths use loot tables) so the 20th is fixed too.

Which issues are those? If you are talking loss of weapon, Abbot is not the only one to cause it, just a more noted one. Tomb of the Blighted was one other such quest, and I think there was at least one more.

Also, that fix should already been on live. Should have been for 2.. maybe 3 updates by now.

First reported in 2008. Was "not a known issue" until end of 2010. 3 updates? Try more than 3 mods.

I hope it does get fixed quickly and the "fix" on lamannia is an actual fix and not just playing with reverted code that was not-yet-broken. This raid by far has been the worst of the bunch - not because of the content itself, but because of the issues, amount of tinkering to change it to balance it for current character power.


While not as popular as other raids there is still a large core of people who still run it regularly, and they are the ones who have put up with all of the stuff that has happened over the years.

*scratches head* So are you still losing weapons? Because you went into reported, I was talking fixed.

"known issues" is "SHUT UP ALREADY WE KNOW!!!!" not that they acknowledge issues.

Abbot was Devil Mouse's last raid, and if what I've heard is correctly, cursed as well.

No - case history just shows us the sheer length of time and repetition of reports some of this stuff takes to even get acknowledged.

"known issues" is "SHUT UP ALREADY WE KNOW!!!!" not that they acknowledge issues.

And "this is not a known issue" 1000 times over is "cant be bothered with that right now, please submit a bug so we can tell you its not a known issue again in another 6 months".

Abbot was Devil Mouse's last raid, and if what I've heard is correctly, cursed as well.

Yeah, I understand alot of the same people who created content in this game are no longer around.

[Missing_Minds]

Oh, that aspect. Yeah, I won't argue with you on that one because I do agree.

Turbine history has jaded me, however, I realize that there are more new people there now and... judging them by the sins of the previous devs is doing them a disservice. So I'm going to give them roughly two updates more before I make up my mind completely on the new crew.

I am hoping they will make me happy, but I have no idea of what if any change of management has happened. That lack of knowledge makes me... not too hopeful.

Cursed??

Agreedd - this bug needs fixing and it sounds like U13 will do that.

However to all those getting hot under the collar about support and 'not a known issue', you need to read the response to the ticket

***The issue you have described is either not a currently known issue that the In-Game Support team can assist with, or cannot be resolved with the information you have provided.

This is an either or. Support is not insisting it is not a known issue, but (in this case) is saying they can't help with it.

Anway. Roll on U13 and beaucoup Abbot loot
