It's not a bug, the encounter is designed to fail if you abuse the game mechanics by pulling the Zo'arkat mobs to the island (which is cheating). The harpies have been added to further encourage you not to do this and thereby break the encounter for everyone else.

If you'd like to report yourself for cheating we'll investigate your problem.

Requiel, Those harpies meant to pop when you are trying to do Harpy Feather Charm quest and we were in the water so please, investigate our problem ;).

This is utterly offensive towards my brother.

Counting the fact his enchanter and all characters are naked.

Counting that goa doesn't care about the naked players and they disable the bonuses mentioned anyway on the 16th.

Counting, um, well, HE DIDN'T CHEAT ?!

Ah well :>

I thought there was a time limit between killing each wave? When you got to the end of the time limit, the mobs became unkillable. This is what happened to me once before while attempting to do it while in the water.

Requiel, could you define cheating for us again in regards to doing artifact/ml encounters please. There was a previous thread on FH where you stated that killing something at it's tether is NOT bug abuse, or has the policy changed? Or maybe you have a different definition for cheating and bug abuse.

Yeah but we were in the what is it, 10 minute timer and not all mobs became unkillable just 2-3 and 2 deagrod while 1 kept hitting us. Then the encounter restarted in a rather weird way

The 15-20 invulnerable harpies agroing us from above were just the added bonus so we couldn't even walk away alive

Tutut, you are damn wrong Requiel, sadly. ><

First of all we didnt abuse anything, we had a well built - toaed - rr5+ grp so we could have done zoarkat without pulling anything to the island while doing the encounter. We have encountered those first harpies when we have tried to do the harpy charm quest, we have failed of course thanks to those "protection against cheater's harpies".
Second time we have encountered those harpies were after Zoarkat being bugzored. Had a main chat messega from the last few mobs that we have failed and we are no challenge etc etc, 2 mobs became unhitable and 1 deep purple con mob kept hiting our party members meanwhile we couldnt hit back... obviously this is a bug, would you agree?

At this point, we thought going shore would lose agro of a mob which shouldnt be there at all and we could retry the encounter (note: we DID not pull ANY of the regular zoarkat mobs to the shore, only that bugged one so MAYBE we could RETRY the BUGZORED enc... such cheat, hell yeah Requiel). This worked of course while protective harpies kept hitting us on shore, but we didnt really care as we didnt want to do the charm quest now ><

We restarted the encounter, went good until the wave which had the bugged mobs attacked us once as they spawned + the full wave became unhitable + the mob we lost on the shore came back again... So we get wiped by these unhitable mobs (the last man standing could hit em, so they were undmgable for only 30-40seconds or so, too bad huh?) and i became pissed and made this thread you see.

No offense but a Gamemaster should check logs or ask for more clear description before drawing any conclusions, which are truly wrong at this incidident.

My best regards, sorry for not perfect english.

pm.: yeah sorry, but some offense taken since its only me that could name goa and its employes names due not being able to use my account on prydwen since 24th august... but i wont couse i still like your style :P

Just how cool is that? Now nobody can cheat in toa while adding extra grief and pain to the encounters.



NEWSFLASH

Nobody cares, we don't like toa, we like the rvr system. Why keep us from it by "fixing encounters so they can't be farmed".


Not to add the small piece of information that we didn't even "farm" BoZ. We were doing it the way it should be done.
