Hollowshade War

[Daldaen]

After I recently made the Cleansed BP combine trivial and used my storage of Indium and Sunshard pebbles I found myself at 233 smithing, so I decided to check out the 5.0 tradeskilling guide and decide to work the war. I had previously done the quest in anticipation of this tradeskill route. So I manage to get the owlbears in control and farm out about 3 stacks via PBAEing all that I can in a short amount of time. Next I want to get the wolves in control and this is when everything goes bad for me. I reset the war to get the grimlings in the south, wolves in the east and owlbears in the north/west. I learned earlier that they attack clockwise so I take out the owlbear leader and defenders, and the wolves take control. Now they have 2 of the camps in the zone and just need the south one. My understanding is at this point the race controlling only one camp will attack the others several times until the race controlling two camps attacks the race controlling one. So the wolves spawn luckily first time at the old owlbear camp (west/north 1). So I invis and follow them on their pathing. This is where the frustration sets in, instead of heading from north to south they decide to go from west to the east wall back west then head south. This was a time sink but no big deal right?? WRONG! right as they are ariving at the grimling chieftains camp they despawn! I thought I did something wrong but no, the 12 minute timer had caused another attack to commense. So there was one glitch, so what? I decide to try it again and the same situation occurs except the wolves dont attack first, or second, or even the 10th time, which is when I gave up.... So I must know is the war bugged in the A. pathing and B. spawn rate of the majority ruler in the zone. Please someone get back to me on this, it was extremely frusterating!!!

Did you kill the grimling defenders? When I was doing war triggers, I made sure I wiped out the defenders of any race I wanted to get rid of.

Something in the pathing was broken when we made general changes to pathing to fix pathing in general (some very old pathing was broken... this was old pathing)

Prathun made some fixes that I believe are in the patch the happened. So try again after the patch (it should be done or happening as I post this)

Ngreth beat me to it.

Patch message for today.

- The attackers in the Hollowshade Moor War will no longer get lost on the way to their target.

But I've lost track of how many time Hollowshade had to be fixed. The war gets broken quite often it seems.

Excellent, I just got in to test out the war, I get the wolves to obtain 2 camps and... "SERVERWIDE MESSAGE: All Servers will be coming down in 4 minutes" ehh I test it out when They start back up!
