Im having a little issue with completing my level 39 class change quest. After I've run the world thin 200 times I've finally gotten to the part where i need to kill ten noble ant leaders.
Now Im actually standing in the ants nest, on a sorta bridge looking into a room thats FULL of em. Now the problem is there is an invisible wall blocking the path. When I cross the bridge I cannot enter the room nor can I target anything that i can see beyond the invisible wall...
Now my years of mmorpg experience tells me that I properly need an access quest to get in here, but there is nothin in the book or quest guides about needing to do a preliminary quest in order to finish the mark of the duelist :S
So how am I supposed to complete this quest, once in every full moon a noble ant leader will spawn on my side ofthe wall, but according to my calculations it will take me at least 25 minutes waiting for all of em :(
Im on Teon, I actually think I've tried to contact you earlier, you are danish correct?
Anyway the wildest luck just happend, 4 of em roamed close and when i started beating an ant guard on my side their social aggro kicked in and yay :P I now managed to finish it.
About shooting in an arrow, I didn't check but it would properly be too dangerous seing as its all in one cluster. I managed to get the whole cluster aggroed last night resulting in dropping my composite armour :/
Thankfully it was 4 am and noone was online so i picked it up again :P
But I could actually use help on the Cruma Tower part Im going to do right now. Its the final 3 parts and the previous CT part gave me quite the trouble yesterday.
Yea i had this problem the other day. I had to just wait round for the nobles to agrro me near the invisible wall. Took a **** good while and there was a que! lol
Try going into Ant Cave, and going far down - its just a invisible wall though you can see the path and the mobs there.
What happens to me sometime is usually after a soe (random how many) the game's engine (Unreal engine) farks up and suddenly stops rendering parts of the level architecture. Like walls and other environmental static meshes. So your client doesn't see them and acts like they are not there, but the server knows and prevents you from moving to those locations.
The cave between HV and Oren is one of these that gets ugly when it happens. All I see is the flat BSP 'walls' and none of the 'curved cave walls' when this happens and even though I could try and 'walk' through the center of the cave, knowing where the actual opening is, I cannot because my characters 'feet' are below the actual floor of the cave and the server won't let me move through what it sees as the 'floor'.
Only thing to do when this happens is to 'restart' the character at that spot and when the game reloads, it recreates the area *with* the parts of the level it forgot about before.
Im familiar with the SOE glitch you talk about, I've seen it alot too when I created levels for Unreal Tournament 2003 =)
But this is entirely different, its not a mtter of not rendering the level, is a set border. After i lost my composite armour ( I died there ) and got it back, i logged out - Later today I logged on to continue there and it was still there. This is no random occurance, its a set bug/access quest that prevents people from entering.
So aye its a geometry bug/ Zone issue - Or someone ninja made an access quest
Still haven't had an answer from support about this, and clearly I am not the only waiting for a fix of this problem.
It practically prevents most people from finishing occupation quests as everyone has to go into Ants Nest...
I've been in the ants nest before and i've never had to go over a bridge to get to the noble ants... o.O the path i usually take is the eastern one down from ruins of agony and when you get to the wastelands the entrance into nest is like just around the corner, lol. though its on hinde so i dont know if the layout is different on other servers :S shouldnt be though
