The SOF Tradeskill Quest!

Thanks Ngreth!

tried again after patch. Didn't work for me - still can't combine even after clearing the room and going very close ( see link ) I get the message to get closer ... :/


here's the link :

i tried the first room of that 4room one that close to the zone in and also tried the far NE one ( got same message there ) - room was cleared.

I was able to get a different message now "There is too much activity nearby and it is interferring with the static charge." When I tried combining while invis near the generators.

Or rather, 3 out of the 4. The SE room still doesn't seem to work, but the other three should work now.

I'm going to try to clear the SW room and give the combines a try.

[llaffer]

The SW room works. I got my combines completed. I was snug inside the generator like you were in your image, but the SE room is still bugged.

EDIT: I said SE for both oops.

[Ngreth Thergn]

bah humbug

[Sharrien]

Is the answer maybe to expand the distance from the generators by a couple paces that will allow the combine? Or maybe it's a z-axis thing?

[Ngreth Thergn]

it is seeming like a "falling through the world" problem :/

[Zolina]

Ah, that is a simple one: just replace all the world's polygon graphics using 3D objects with mass, problem solved.

Finally.......

Just some feedback....

GROUP:

Paladin Level 80 1675 AA, 25K HP (tank)
Ranger Level 80 2K-ish AA
Cleric Level 80 2.8K AA
Druid Level 80 Unknown AA
Monk Level 80 1K-ish AA
Mage Level 80, unknown AA, but 20K-ish Mana

Using this experienced and well-geared group we were not having much success keeping ahead of respawns.

Did it mini-raid style adding:

2nd Level 80 Mage SoF geared (Crystallos)
Level 80 Enchanter (1K-ish AA)


With those two joining, we were just able to keep ahead of respawns, with some difficulty and no med breaks. Med breask and death recovery would have meant we would fall behind again.

If the respawn has been slowed twice, my hat is off to those who were able to do this with a single group before the timer was slowed!

All I can say is, those testers must be the "A" team with some inside info, LOL.

Anyway...

I have seen a few posts where they tried the combines in various places and did the combine with no clearing. I tried this everywhere and it would not work.

In all places but one, I got the message that the thread fell apart, get closer and there was no possible way to get any closer!

In that one other place, I actually got the message about too much activity nearby.

This was in the 4-generator room, in the bottom right circle-area.

We cleared and cleared and I tried at various stages of partial clears to do the combines. No luck.

We had to clear that entire circle (boatload of MOB's for such a small area), to include roamers, before it finally worked.

Yes, this was after the June 11 patch.

Even worse, this area is also where you do part of the Oculus quest. Another group showed up there who were clearly less capable (they died a lot) and it did cause some conflict with 2 sets of folks trying to do 2-diff quests in the same place.

This was an awesome quest series for a pretty good and incredibly versatile item. I just wish it had a Type 8 Slot (I actually had to downgrade augs, /sigh).

I can understand the frustration with the Spy + the 2 guards with it. They are always up, because so many people fail at that part, and they do not despawn. This would probably keep me from ever trying to clear either northern generator room.
