| Summary | 0018455: [Quest][Dwarf Chap. 20] Infested Tower: NPCs behavior and numbers are wrong | ||||
| Description | Reporter: gamerlenny I've been trying for months to complete the quest "Mending Grimlina" (Dwarf chap 20 quest in Black Crag). You're supposed to climb to the top of the Infested Tower in Black Crag (42000, 18000) to talk to a dwarf character, but whenever I get there, I can barely approach the tower because of the insane number of enemy mobs all around it. I remember doing that same quest back in the day on the official servers with a level 36 Slayer without any particular difficulties. Now I'm playing a level 40 Slayer and I just can't make it to the top (I can't barely make it alive to the door), everytime I try I get killed no matter what strategy I use. These NPCs respawn so fast you can't go anywhere; if you kill them one by one or even 2 by 2, everytime you kill another one, the previous ones are respawning already... Moreover, some of them seem to have an above normal aggro range, they detect me from much further away while other mobs that are closer do not, and they even aggro while respawning (like, they are already attacking while they are still in the process of spawning). So no matter what you do, you always end up getting aggroed by 3 or 4 or 5 of them at once and you die. I tried dozens and dozens of times... Actual behavior: Currently there are gnoblars, goblins and ogres all around the tower, and even more near the entrance; the ogres and the other mobs on the left side actually fight each other all the time. They respawn very quickly so it's almost impossible for one player alone to clear the way. Even when you manage to reach the tower's door and open it, right behind it are like 3-4 gnoblars and at least 4 goblins (2 nearby + at least 2 on the stairs), they all attack you at once and kill you right on the spot. At the top of the tower, the dwarf NPC / quest giver is also surrounded by more goblins and gnoblars but they don't fight him, which does not make much sense. Expected behavior: The quest should be doable by a lvl 38 player alone since it's a normal quest from Chapter 20. I genuinely think that the Infested Tower, despite it's name, is not supposed to be crawling with enemy mobs like it is now (and I don't recall it being that way either in official WAR). I believe either the gnoblars or the goblins shouldn't be there, or at least half of them shouldn't. They should have a much slower respawning delay to allow for a player to kill them all and be able to actually reach the door. Once inside, the number of mobs and their aggro range should allow the player to have a chance to kill them one by one and climb the stairs.  | ||||
