Hello

Am I the only one that is having difficulties to get cred on Cloudsong?
I have done the quest and all and handed him the box.
The quest never dissapears from my journal and I never get cred when he
dies, despite giving him the box.

Looking at VoS it says lvl 46 for cred so my lvl 48 should be enough.

Anything I missed? It is still BG cred, right?
Or dont I get cred untill he drops the damned cloak?

Cloak needed to drop to get credit. And even if it drops it aint 100% sure that u will get credit. i had to do CS Encounter loads of times until it droped. No point writing to NeverNow, they will say: 'We cant do anything cause we have to trust the game mechanism etc'.

I know a couple of other guys had the same pain.

So keep farming Eremai, some day u'll get cred.

What Oboy said.

Ive been there with 3 toons at different times and had credit from the kill. Also been there with guildies + rl friends many times and everyone has always had credit on first kill afaik.

That should have been fixed, and it was only with DoT/bleed attacks that pets could steal the credit from what I know.

When I did this on my ice wiz it was no probs, I was in BG and got cred
immidiately.

Now with the sorc, I have been ungrouped in BG and I have been simply
grouped without BG and I still dont get cred.

I always give him a music box but that damned quest wont dissapear from
my journal and I dont get cred either.

I have killed him with pet on him and completely without pet just watching
and still no cred. Im starting to think it has something to do with my quest
being bugged or something. Is not the journal quest supposted to be
completed once you give Eremai the music box and kill him?

On top of this I just did ML2.8 and that really reminded
me of how poorly scripted these encounters are.

After killing him 5 times and no cred I had to get a pet to melee him down the
last bit so that I could get cred becouse of the 10% health/cred bug on ML2.8.
:puke:

Working as intended.


Only GoA would say that, it is not working as intended and if it is the way they have done it is total crap if the cloudsong has to drop to get credit, killed Eramai 3 times today, cloak not dropped, handed in box each time and no credit.

Cloak does NOT have to drop to recieve credit... Encounter is simply fucked up and GOA refuses to acknowledge it ;p it's not uncommon that you don't get credit on the first kills, even heard of a guy who first got credit after doing it some 10+ times :<

10+ ? Im there soon...

But I cannot help to wonder, are the guys that is scripting these encounters
really this crappy at their work or do they have buggy software to work with?

Are you killing it with focus, or with tanks ?

Or with mincer pet ?

Or with theurg pets ?

To sum things up:

I have done the quest and I always try to give him a music box before the fight.

I have been there when he was killed with focus pet, with theurg pets, with a mob for a pet and straight with a tank.

I have been in grp and BG, just in grp and I have been solo and just in BG as well.
Heck I think I have covered most of the combinations.

Btw, I almost forgot. A HUGE thanks for the help back there when Tarja and co from Angels of Retribution gave it to my ice wiz, despite me loosing the lotto :worthy:

That time the Cloudsong did drop and I recieved cred on the ice wiz despite the fact that I had NOT done the musicbox quest.

Im really beginning to think it has to drop for me to get cred... :(

I've noticed a correlation between people not getting credit and Eramai 'giving up' a fight.

When eramai can't get through a player/group's defenses he sometimes gives up and tries to walk back to his camp. When this happens i suspect he 'forgets' who gave him a musicbox and things reset.

Ive been on vacation, hence the slow response.

Interesting note, but I did not notice him turning away from us any of the times we killed him.

I do notice that once I have given him the box and talk to him again he simply asks for the box etc. Its like if he never even remembers I gave him
the box in the first place.

Just to be sure, is the quest supposed to dissapear from my journal or am I supposed to have it there for ever?
