Runes of Magic US / AU

Theory on Reni is that there's so many thousands of toons going through IDK right now with all the alts that the instance is just getting screwed. I don't know that an instance has EVER had this many people doing it at once in the history of RoM.

That would be my guess with that too Borella. With how many other things in this game that bug when run/completed lottttts of times, it isnt a surprise to me.

Glad I farmed out the weeks worth on the 3 characters I do have before the instance went completely to crap.

On Reni at least it is flaking out, but not broken. Mula Nail can pull no-show in IDK35 with running all over the platform failing to trigger his mechanic. Sometimes I get 2 Chefs, Guardians also bunched up on one of the runs. But it still works, mostly. That said, yeah, stocking up is good idea.

It happened to me a few times: if I entered the platform from the front nothing happened even if I was running around the whole platform or falling on different sides from it. **HINT** : but if I then entered the platform from the side (kind of 90 degrees to the right, on the side where Mula is running from) then the sequence has started every single time. I've run IDK many times by now and the "enter from the side" trick worked every single time the standard way did not.

The cook/chef worked every time (never got him double ), the mobs you cannot attack also do not attack you back, double moles is not a problem. If the shortcut door after the cook does not open, it's still faster to run back the way you came than to reset the instance.

So the only real problem I had so far with IDK was that if the frozen one is double, than sometimes after you kill the one that unfreezes the doors behind it stay closed. I wish we could see that it is double immediately when you run along it the first time around - it would be faster to reset the pt immediately already at this moment... I'm not sure but it seems to me also that if I restart with the same pt then the same configuration of glitches is more likely - I tried with the same 2 toons in pt a few times and the same kept happening (actually I got a stream of 8 runs in a row with the closed doors after the frozen...; a tad annoying it was...), after changing this to a pt of 3 toons suddenly there was only one Frozen (not sure if there is a rule; it's just that after I started really changing who is in the pt I never again got an irritating stream of 8 times closed doors anymore; still, it happens twice in a row sometimes; so maybe it was accidental and changing the pt composition does not really matter...).

I can understand crashing the instance server, but I didn't think it could actually physically break the instance o_O

You broke iiit, I'mm tell inn.

On Thalia the few of us doing the event have mobs spawned that also can not be attacked. My guess is they have the wrong Instance ID, even those few mobs that walk a fixed path are happy to move about but you get en error when trying to attack. At least all those Bugged NPCs don't fight back.

I have noticed if you enter the instance with the alt first before your main toon there is less and even no bugged NPCs.

The servers memory allocation for the instance will have a bit to do with it as well.

Lol, what a noob I am

When you run the first time next to the Frozen - hit F8 once. If it looks like this:

then it's double and you have quite a big chance that after killing the Chef and one of the frozen ones the next doors behind him will not open. If you see him double - simply reset the instance right away (you might need to do this a few times)! And it takes literally only 15 seconds to run to this point - much less than going all the way around, killing the Chef and one of the Frozen ones just to meet a shut doors behind it...

Today this saved me a lot of frustration.

Have fun - it's probably the last evening of this PoM event!
