The entries for the ground spawns are there. The zones need to be brought down, and back up for these to function properly.

what is the ACTUAL reward for this quest? Not the Allakhazam super rewards.

Find 300 of your closest friends, zone into HS and crash the zone by spamming spells???

[Alucard]

I spent hours trying to get this fruitlessly, glad it's a confirmed issue.

[Triangle]

Been over a month since the quest was implemented. People have spent, individually and collectively, countless hours skilling up blacksmithing to 200+, and failing multiple times on a 20x combine sword (a single failure on any of the 20 steps will set you back to beginning of the quest and force you to collect the items all over again).

None of the above is a problem. It is how the quest is designed.

However, we are all bottlenecked by a fucking ground spawn because the only guy who can repop the zone refuses to do it or ??? does not give enough of a shit to do it?

Someone else needs to be given the ability to handle stuff like this - indeed, I imagine Nilbog himself spent a ton of time implementing this quest for it to just sit on the shelf until some arbitrary date when the zone is repopped.

It is quite an ignominious fate for what should be a fantastic quest. There is going to be a line of 20 people in HS to loot the ground spawn and, in turn, the same line sitting in DN waiting for the turnin mob to repop.

[Daldaen]

I feel like some of the combine trivials are set a bit high. I'm at 199 and the final blade combo didn't give me a "you cannot get any higher" response. But in nilbogs thread asking for data nothing conclusive could be found unfortunately.

I really hope the Mandala and Dragon fights in DN are set to quick respawn timers so there isn't a huge line waiting to do the quest. I'm also curious if the Dragons despawn when handed Flawless Diamonds or if multiple people can piggyback off this step like Cazic Skins of old.

I wonder the same thing. Would be nice if that were the case

He cares but also doesn't care if that makes sense. He will do it when someone catches him at the right time.

Also, it is not legally possible to crash a zone without 3rd party assistance, or else someone would have already done this by now.

No, a zone desync and a zone reset are seperate types of occurences as far as I know.

Crashing the zone is the result you want, however 300 people spamming spells will not result in crashing the zone I'm afraid. A desync will occur before a crash in the scenario you mentioned. It is programmed not to crash.

A crash takes a fatal error and has only been done with packet hacking, from my understanding. This is a major reason why P99 is closed source, otherwise hackers would have a map to be able to fire off whatever zone crash exploits they can find in the code (infinite possibilities once you have the source)

[Erati]

can anyone do some research on whether these ghost dragons depop upon turning in Flawless Diamonds - we are about to have another huge bottleneck if we are forced to trigger this thing every 3 days or a week

need to research the spawn time of the trigger in DN as well.

I have looked at the basic Zam pages for the mobs and theres not alot there

[Indefinite]

There will be 2 very green, COV faction miniature Garzicors in the tunnel. Give a Flawless Diamond to each. They will despawn upon turn-in and you get back two slightly different diamonds. One is called something like a Magical Darkened Diamond and the other is called something like a Golden Diamond. These are NO DROP, by the way.

It's possible server down made this spawn? I'm out of town but I'm sure someone can verify

[Calrizien]

I don't see it up but maybe its on a long respawn timer

[Calrizien]

Its spawning now

[Erati]

Ghostly presence doesnt seem to be active unless someone did this earlier and he is on a long timer

[Indefinite]

Could not get a Ghostly Presence to spawn after running around the bone pile and spamming 'You are one but two. Your vengeance shall find a home.' for several minutes
