IC rares
I know its been brought up before, but can they be looked into? I haven't heard of anyone seeing any for quite some time. I've also heard rumors about them being taken out of the game, or not working. If that?s the case, then it kind of makes it a little hard to complete some quests that require those rare items. Anyway, if anyone has seen some, please post below as far as what one you've seen and the date if possible.

*bump*
I know lurkwood rares were questioned before, and I know they load. Not as often as some may like but they load. The rares in IC on the other hand seem to not make it out of their load rooms and into the actual zone, or they don't load at all.
Any staff wanna post some feedback on this? Either they are fine, or they were taken out, or yes there was a problem and it will be fixed soon..

seen Holm lately? I know you could sense if he loaded at boot but he wouldn't appear until 20 min after. I assumed he wasn't a trigger load, not sure now. I haven't seen him load in months. Also, thunderbeast finally started loading after a few months.. of course it's all about those "numbers"

The rares around lurkwood and such are loading.
thunderbeast loaded.. hmm.. last week. Holm loaded today. So at least part of them are loading.
IC on the otherhand is still broke. No one has seen them, killed them/been killed by them, or has heard of anyone seeing/killing them.

Threads that have illustrated already that there appears to be a problem with rareload mobs in IC:
http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/Forum6/HTML/001094.html <--- This one is from last December. In this thread it is revealed the last confirmed time anyone has seen a rareload in IC was on August 7th, 2001.
http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/Forum6/HTML/001356.html
http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000066.html <--- In this thread, Tempus states that he will look into the IC rareload situation (03-06-2001)

Calamity and Strife(if you get lucky strife and the 4 soldiers won't load) load in 4 spots that GN rares load in: somewhere on the path to IC, the fork in thunderpeak, the horseshoe in GN, and the room west of the entrance of the exp grid in GN. Since there is no real way to leave an announcement that they're up, i'd suggest u have wimpy max when you enter GN.
As for rares not loading, Glarec and I have found Fedor a couple of times in the past months. The one rare i haven't seen in ages is Holm.

Oops. In a post I made yesterday, I said Hoar had loaded. My mistake for thinking about the God's playtoy
What I ment was that Holm loaded yesterday. So at least some of them are working up north. Thats not why I started this thread though. The IC rares are NOT loading, and I was hoping that this thread might get some attention drawn to that. Seems to have gotten support from players saying they are broken, and Nokie has even pointed out a thread where Tempus said he would look into it. I don't know that Tempus is still around though, so it prolly didn't go very far.

While I appriciate the reply, Iyachtu. What you are basicly saying is that those of us needing eq from the rares in IC to complete quests, are SOL. Doesn't sound right.
I look at it like its a bug in the code. Bugs make the game crash, which makes the game no fun. You guys fix those bugs to make sure the game continues to be fun.
This is a bug that is making the game no fun for some people.
I know you're not an areas person, so I don't expect you to do anything. Heck, your post was more then I expected, hehe.
Just hate to hear someone say that something they are working on might fix this probem and then it continues to never get fixed.
I know I'm being a pain about this, but damnit, someone has to take Gormal's job. I just do it with less style, hehe.

i was referring to where they loaded last time.. they didn't load at 1e of the 3way.. they loaded at 4way near icebear.. which they don't normally do. :P

Coupla things:
1. I didn't say you were SOL, I just said that I wasn't in the know on the exact specific of rares from a specific zone, which I'm not.
2. It's true, I'm not areas. I did, however, go out of my way to take an interest in a problem the areas staff has been concerned with.

OK, I -did- take a look at this problem. and indeed, it's massively fubared. =) Suffice it to say that the chances of IC rares loading in the game are very, very, very, very low.
I'll mention it to Cyric and let him correct it in the manner he feels is best.

Hmm.. perhaps I came off a little harsh when I really didn't mean to, Iyachtu. I like the fact that you posted about it. Told me that at least someone had taken notice. Whan I ment about being SOL was that most small things seem to get added to the 'list', looked at once, then forgotten about. Those small things may not seem importaint, but what about that new player that comes along, spends a lot of time and effort on something, then finds out it doesnn't work and hasn't worked for quite some time. They would prolly start to wonder what else is broke and decide it isn't worth their effort and leave. Not everyone plays just to kill things and gain levels.
Anyway, thank you Iyachtu and D2 for looking into the problem and at least getting the ball rolling again. Also a big thanks to the rest of the gods for the work you do to make this game what it is. Thank you to the rest of the players for making this game what it is. Without all of us, this wouldn't be possible.
Ok, end rant, end thread.
*No keyboards, mice, monitors, or computer cases were harmed in the making of this thread*
Err.. ok, so I'm a little tired.

So.. whats the news on this new rares system?
Also, has Cyric said if he is gonna fix them or not? If not, can the quests that use the eq be fixed to use other eq so they can be finished?
Been a few weeks since I bugged anyone about it and seen the topic come up again, so figured now would be a good time.
