I achieved absolutely nothing last night on-line. It seemed that due to RL induced tiredness, I really didn’t trust myself to tank or heal for a group. I logged on with Shahlai my Assassin for a bit and narrowly missed out on a SoD group heading into MMC. Shame really as Shahlai has been stuck on that bit for a while. Would have been nice to get it done. But it wasn’t to be, so I logged in with Killzum and met up with Daltieri in Qeynos Harbour. The reason? Well, I am not sure how we got on to the subject, but we started talking about bugs and strange in game experiences over Ventrillo, when it became apparent Daltieri had never ventured over the rooftops in QH to the hidden entrance to South Qeynos. Never been there before? Have no idea what I am talking about? Check out the map below for instructions. There is even some sort of clubhouse behind there with a sign telling you to use the main entrance. Why is it there? No idea. Probably just a part the Devs were going to use, but decided against it.
There is little point to going there apart from experiencing a quirk of the game. Well that occupied a few minutes only so after zoning in to South Qeynos (the hidden way..ooooo!) I set off following Daltieri about in a bid to annoy him. At one point he was contemplating a bit of guard bashing to salve the boredom, but soon gave up on that idea when considering his mortality. So we just wandered around a bit. Right in the Northern part of SQ there is a small walkway that runs parallel to the waterway there. We came across a most unusual sight. Check out the screenie..
The numbers show how many NPCs were hanging around, totally stationary, no movement, doing…nothing. A couple seemed to be so friendly with their neighbour that they were stood inside of each other (1-4, 6 & 7, 8-10). Obviously a bug as we stood there for quite a while and they did not move an inch. It was weird and actually was quite reminiscent to me of a bunch of manikins left in an untidy mess at the back of a clothes store. Mebbe it’s where the devs store their extra NPCs in case of an NPC emergency?
Nothing much achieved then really for an hour and a half session. Was nice to catch up with Daltieri though. Fop that he is! Check out his new gear in the Gallery (Adventure) for a lesson in fashion, ’slick’ stylee. He could charm the birds outta the trees that one.
Oh, you may also have noticed Killzum’s new Surname “Warg’Wrestler”. Probably not going to be permanent. Just something silly he was trying on for size!
