FAO: GMs [Credit problem on Traldor]

[Thodrek]

Greetings,

I just killed Traldor in a group of three persons, [Necronid, Rentunruusu, and Kelmain (me)], and we didn't get the encounter but we got the Traldor's Oracle.
As we all need the encounter I would like to ask if it's possible to get it from GMs as we've been camping it for 6 hours and we wouldn't like to camp seven hours more... is it any chance of getting it activated? here I post the screenshot, many thanks for all.
My best regards,

Kelmain,

P.S: We are players of Albion/Excalibur

Erhm, what about using RightNow instead? It's actually supported, whereas this forum is a fan forum, if you can call it that ;p

PS. They won't give you credit.

what lvl are you? artifact encounters are only awarded once at a specific level or higher.

 

[Thodrek]

I'm level 44, Necronid is lvl 46, Rent is level 50, and no one of us got the credit (You can activate this artifact at lvl 36 tho)

 

[Lendan]

Did you kill him outside the building?

I saw some guild mates do this just last week and they got the artifact and no credit, as he was pulled outside first.

This does indeed seem like a bug - why on earth would it be intended that you get the arti and not the credit?

 

[Thodrek]

Nope, we killed it inside the temple and nothing.. no credit and I've been all the morning camping the Galerian Leader's spot for 6 hours, finally when we kill it we got no credit.. I also asked in Right Now

From what i have seen and heard in the last 3 years - GM's will not give experience or credit - at best they can force the encounter to respawn while you are there and this is generaly ample enough.

But like the first post said...

do a /who 100 : see if a GM is online
if not try the E&E IRC channel to see if one can be contacted

Failing the above, use Rightnow.

Too bad really... i camped maddenings for long long long ones... many hours and got arti but no credit

 

[Eroa]

Standard response, If you want credit, Kill him again.

 

[Thodrek]

The problem is not killing it the problem is that we, people, cant waste 6 hours to get something and then waste 6 more because a game bug... i wish it could be so easy as killing it, but it has a slow respawn timing... thanks everyone for the answers anyways

Standard none helpfull comment, wanker.

I see one or two pet classes in there, I think theres a problem if a PET gets the final blow and not you. Get to 5% and kill with nukes / melle only. I may be wrong but I am sure that applies to other artifacts.

zoarkat anyone?

It should be fixed now, was a DoT/bleed issue from my understanding, which caused people not to recieve credit.

arent you supposed to activate the encounter first with the leader or whatever?

arent you supposed to activate the encounter first with the leader or whatever?

yeah, but the only way to get into the temple is to have the doors opened, which starting the encounter does (well, some mobs play knock knock ), so unless they smashed the door down themselves with ram or some, they should've got credit

A couple of things here.
1: I don't do support via forums/email/PMs etc. If you run into a problem then the way to report it is via RightNow.
2: As stated by someone else above, we don't give encounter credit in these situations. We investigate each report, resetting the encounter as necessary and pass on the details to Mythic so that the encounters can be made more reliable in future versions.

if the person that starts the encounter (talks with the gaderian leader)
already has credit, it's possible that other people in the group that have no credit will get no credit from the encounter

this happened to me once, i already had credit and did started the encounter, me and a wiz killed him and wiz didn't get credit
