#157, "Something for you to investigate"


          

The information I would like to know is concerning a legendary item that "looks into your eyes and tells you,'You are not worthy.'" This echo has suggested to me and anyone I've met who actually know of it's existence, that there's some type of quest associated with it. As such, I'm not looking for secret knowledge here. I've investigated this thing extensively in-game from anyone i could find who had any knowledge or rumor about it, including, apparently, from you when you were playing Tavlin (I didn't know at the time that you were Tavlin). The information you gave me then (vague as it was), coincided with information given to me by another character at the same time. However, it seems to have been a dead-end. The other char actually got so frustrated with me not finding the answer he kept hinting at, that he finally just escorted me directly to what he was talking about, only to find out that even his avenue appeared to be a dead-end. At that point, he and I began experimenting with things together until he finally just gave up.

So, what I'd like to know is, could you or someone else investigate this item and see if the quest for it is, perhaps, broken? Areas get changed, and sometimes little known connections can get inadvertently broken, and I'm wondering if that's what happened here. Again, I'm not looking for secret knowledge here--just a confirmation that any associated quest is either working properly, or has become broken, rendering the item impossible to get. That character I played who asked Tavlin about it spent somewhere around 30,000 gold trying to figure out how to get it. It'd be nice to know if it's even possible.


Also, there are two items that now seem to be missing from the game. The mask of Sektin-Rah, and the mantle of stars. Neither has been seen in-game for quite some time now. I've been watching for both for months, as have quite a few others I've met, and no one has had either, or seen anyone else with either. I was wondering if the items have been officially removed from the game for some reason, or if the areas have become broken somehow, so that they no longer spawn. Or is someone just extremely meticulously hording them without ever using them, and doing so on serial characters?

If you could look into these three things, it would really make my holiday season bright!

I believe this is working as designed, and I think that you (or whoever escorted you) got as far as one can with that thing, which is to say that if I'm understanding it right, I don't know exactly what the point of it all is. That said, I may be overlooking some aspect of it but I don't know who (if anyone) would be an authoring on that thing/place at this point in time. I hope that helps.

A handful of items that are loaded via progs instead of normal resets seem to be affected by a bug that results in them either never being loaded or being loaded less often than they should be, the case depending on their limit. I've fixed a couple items and will address the rests tomorrow.

The mask is one item in the first category, where as the mantle is also affected, but there is at least one in circulation too.

I'm afraid I have absolutely no memory of what you're talking about. Nor do I know it from the echo you mention. You might want to email the imps about it so you can be more specific.

There's an issue with at least one of these items that needs fixing but it hasn't happened yet, to my knowledge.

I'm fairly certain my current character has seen this item, and even given it away after obtaining it from the mob. That said, it was many months ago and I haven't seen it since.

Or...brain troubles.

Ignorance is bliss, and I know too many happy people.
