Runes of Magic US / AU

yes. Getting there naked or with nearly no gear might be difficult without a portal, but the only monsters nearby are yellow named so once there you can do it naked.

Is 315 EoJ's per hour calculated based on soloing the event? Or doing it with other people? And do you use any macro's that you'd be willing to share that speeds it up?

Well just like last year, the Monster Parade is bugged yet again. So the "The Monster Parade is starting in 10 mins" Scroller Notification is nothing but a reminder of telling yourself "I wish this was fixed" mostly. You get ALOT of awesome Halloween Costume gear from this event if you can somehow find your way into the first run of the day after a maintenance or server reset

THE PROBLEM stems from people using AOE's to kill the Spawns as soon as they appear before Cool Pumpkin John (i believe thats the NPC that Leads) has a chance to even notice that they spawned/were killed. So when this occurs, Cool Pumpkin will just stand there and waits... and waits... aaaaaaaaaaaand it's broken when you see the next "The Monster Parade is Starting in 10 Minutes"

I would suggest getting rid of this event can replace it with an NPC that gives you like 5 random packages or something every 30 minutes/hour

This is and has always been a badly bugged event. These exact problems houses, parades, crashes etc, have happened every year in this event and go away every year as soon as the event ends. There are many major programming code errors that they can't bother to fix. So just live with it and don't complain. The problems will go away as soon as the event ends and next year when the event runs again the problems all show up again.

TRICK OR TREAT!!???

Gameforge employees runs away from the door and hides, and refuses to answer,

all of a sudden THEPITBULL, bust out barking like a mad man, but alas he was just a Scrawny little Chihuahua (dog)


oh snap, and damn, cant teach an old dog an old trick,

guess there won't be any treats either...

This is my theory too. Pumpkin John needs to see that stuff has spawned or else it becomes bugged. AOE's never reall help at any event.

35 eoj from first place x 3 channels x 3 events per hour = 315 -- in a group of 10 players or a group of 3 players its the same amount if you get 1st place on 1 toon, on all 3 channels.

When you do EoJ's make sure to use daily notes, and for the following macro you need click-to-move enabled:

/run for i=1,15 do local x=UnitName("target") if not (x == "Antty" or x== "Folj May" or x=="Navok Keff" or x=="Telery Haz") then TargetNearestFriend() else break end end
/run UseSkill(1,1)
/wait .2
/run SpeakFrame_SpeakOption(2,1)
/wait .2
/run SpeakFrame_SpeakOption(3,1)
/wait 1
/run TargetUnit("")


Macro targets related npc, opens initial dialogue -- and via daily notes accepts quest -- and asks for and/or turns in egg in one click. You need to be standing near the npc you wish to talk to and NOT have one targetted already -- the last line of the macro is supposed to clear target but I just added that in now so whether it works well or not I have no clue.

Then Again... Now that i talked to him, I don't blame Cool Pumpkin John for his behavior

Edit: Sorry for the Small Text Box on the top half, upon continually increasing the height of the pic, the words became smaller and smaller and i got lazy.

OMFG HAHAHAHA! Ok, that was epic! Nice one bro lmao!

Okay, so no mention about the lack of a mail system on Osha (not sure about any other servers, as I have not ventured out to make alts yet). So can I expect to find, or rather, NOT FIND my mail when you finally get around to turning it back on? Yeah, just like the lost house chests a few years back, that took months to get replaced (well, so I heard, mine never came back)....

Things like this is what drove me away from the game back in 2010. "Customer Support" telling me for months that my missing items were in the process of being restored, and if they weren't back after next maintenance to submit a new ticket; then after 3 months of doing what I was told (submitting new tickets) I get a response back telling me "If you had not submitted so many tickets, this could have been resolved sooner..."

Reported and will be fixed soon.
Topic closed to prevent spam.

Beren will poke you when its fixed << "


My question: Why not just make sure the patches work fully before you implement them? Maybe then we wouldn't have to sit here NOT buying diamonds because we are burned about the possibility of a rollback, or lack of event participation due to messed up quests, or just an inability to log into the game. I am wondering which problems are you going to address? Because the random DC issue that was here in 2008 is still here now! I would be more then happy to give my money to Gameforge (or Gamefrog as I am starting to call it, since everything is still the same!) like I did before the lack of Customer Support drove me away.......but you gotta start putting out if you wanna get paid!

I believe getting paid to put out is illegal in most areas of the US. I agree with the sentiments though. This has been going on longer than 27 hours for my main toon, and if u want to complain about it, apparently that is considered spam.

It's spam because you guys made us aware of the issue and we have reported it.
It was apparently fixed but within moments it was apparent it wasn't fixed.
This went on for about 2 hours with me back and forth with IT.
The same people continue to post over the same thing & so we are now closing the threads because we keep having to say the same thing - we don't have any news yet & will let you know when we do.

Now, this is the Patch Notes discussion thread and I would like to leave it open for that specific purpose.

Osha & Reni troubles are discussions not for here but due to the behaviour of a few, threads are being closed. Please do not force me into having to apply sanctions for forum rule infringement.

The macro seems to be stuck on retriving the egg. When the NPC does have an egg, the macro does not take the egg from the NPC.

I'm not sure if its the modifications I made due to macro not fitting on the macro page. The /cast attack would not work for me as well (I think it might be because I don't have auto attack on my action bar). Also had to take out quest giver name to make macro fit.

/run for i=1,15 do local x=UnitName("target") if not (x== "Folj May" or x=="Navok Keff" or x=="Telery Haz") then TargetNearestFriend() else break end end
/run CastSpellByName("Attack");

extends the number of alloted characters/letters for macros to 767

Also I learned last night that /cast Attack doesn't work on scout. use instead /run UseSkill(1,1) --- added that to original post.
One final note -- the 260 eoj earring Protector Steel earrings can get hp/def, stam/def,hp/matk,stam/matk,patk/hp on them among a few other stats.....clean. Pretty good for eoj stats if i say so myself


Just realised this is the patch discussion thread -- perhaps a cm or someone can move the EoJ related posts to another thread?

Oops Sorry to OP in this thread lol. Just 1 last question , is there another way to get the addon? The link says 404 not found when I clicked on it. And it seems like I will need that addon for the macro to work.

I tested the macro with just the second part (targetting NPC's removed) so that have enough text to add in the wait functions too, and it worked. But the macro got stuck and couldn't retrieve the egg without the wait functions.

Fail, Rui... Could not see what is wrong with the link?

try that o.o first link didn't work cuz i messed up typing it. Addon called extended macro icons available on curse....

Did something happen to Knight skills? When I logged on with my K/W my action bars were all messed up, as in what happens when they replace skills. Though I did not see anything amiss.

Perhaps if we weren't treated like children when the reports start coming in, and were able to see an announcement on one of the various social sites you have profiles on, the "spam" would be much less? Its courtesy I believe, to inform your members of issues that can and will affect them; its also courtesy NOT to keep them guessing when something is going to be taken care of. For the record, Frogster (now Gameforge) has not had a great track record in the customer service area; so forgive the masses for reacting the way they do. People sending in polite as possible bug reports have been met with harsh reply's to their tickets, and have often had to wait up to a week for a response. People react with learned behavior, but it isn't a one sided thing. I feel both sides of the equation should really work on the communication and the respect / courtesy thing. So, you call it spam, we call it reaction to the inevitable silent treatment we are accustomed to.

Now, this is the Patch Notes discussion thread and I would like to leave it open for that specific purpose.

Umm, the issues surfaced AFTER the patch, so it seems to be a good place for discussing it.

Quoted from "Yrcanos"

Osha & Reni troubles are discussions not for here but due to the behaviour of a few, threads are being closed. Please do not force me into having to apply sanctions for forum rule infringement.

Well, how about the Cow Beetles on the Govinda server? I haven't ventured to Reni or Osha to check to see if the issue is there as well... They were there before the patch; did the new event have them removed because they were taking up parade space? Or maybe they are in hibernation? What ever the reason, since the patch (yes, this one here) they are not there! Hard to complete the quests you need them for if they aren't there; one of which is a storyline quest? Not sure what you call the purple ones here, I have been away from RoM for a few years, because of customer support issues in the past. But I figured new name (Gameforge) maybe new support....


I guess what I am saying, is that its not just 2 servers, this patch affected several servers, and since this thread seems to be getting so much attention (and customer support makes us feel like we are ID-10-T's for submitting bug reports) this seems to be a place to address the issues where [employees] can direct the issues to the people that need to see them.
