Scornubel

[Adriorn Darkcloak]

Can someone please take a close look at Scornubel? I know it was mentioned awhile back, that one of the rares wasn't loading at all, but was fixed. I did his quest and gods had to load one of the items, and now it's fixed too. But I keep running into mobs that I know had dialogue that now don't respond to anything. The quests still work, but otherwise players can't figure them out, only if you remember them. I know one of them specifically responded to certain questions, and now doesn't.

I'll also mention it again, although I mentioned it in the Zone Love forum; this zone blows. We've been doing it, killing all mobs, trying to figure out quests, and all the items we're getting seriously blow. I know its a zone meant primarily for mid-levelers, but even for them the eq is completely unacceptable. We've found one "okay" dagger, one "nice" mask, and two "okay" about bodies. That's it. The rest wasn't even good enough to auction, just got sold in store or thrown away. I hadn't been seriously back to Scorn since the calc went in, other than for Crypts, but this zone seriously got destroyed by it.

And, like I said in the previous post, although some of the quests are obviously broken, some of them have insane keywords to start quest dialogue. And I mean crazy. Others, like the case of the rareload that wasn't loading (I think Twyl mentioned it), the quests make sense, etc.

I remember a time when there were actually people in Scorn, trying to figure out quests or doing mobs. I've never once run into anyone there anymore.

Crypts is a great zone. Quick, easy but with high spank potential. Don't change it or the rewards at all.

Sorry if I wasn't clear Gorm. Notice I did not mention Crypts, except as an aside that I had been there. My post was about the actual city itself and everything in it. I did not mean to add Crypts to my gripe at all. Sorry for not being precise on that, I even thought about mentioning it and skipped it. I completely agree, Crypts is fine, which is why I did not include it also.

Too late.

Be careful if someone quests the axe near you, dislikes it and then decides to drop axe.

I was along for about 2 hours or so of exploring and attempting to quest in Scornubel. So much stuff that could be interesting and appealing, and just fails to be. Mobs that respond to no keywords whatsoever. Mobs that could be a fun challenge for a smallish (2-4 person) group, if they weren't perm-shielded. If you want ideas for ways that zone could be improved with additional quests and keyword responses, I would be happy to help.

Thanks again, we all appreciate the hard work you do.

I think the mobs / keywords thing is a universal concern, since most mobs were not originally written to respond. It's only relatively recently that the idea of standardization in terms of what mobs respond to has taken root (or at least, the idea that such standardization would be a good thing.)
