Draw the rune by walking it. Why is this so broken?

I’m in Azure Span on that tower running / walking / shimmying around that big rune. I’ve done like fifty laps.

It won’t complete.

The other day I was back in legion at the academy doing that quest chain and guess what, those were a huge pain to complete.

the one with 3 circles? i did it fine the first time. maybe you were hitting some lag or something. try walking it

They could be messing with different server and network parameters that inadvertently affect how well these work.

And I imagine lag can break them pretty easy.

I had a TERRIBLE time with the one in the Azure Span tower, above the Cobalt area. I had to RP walk over every inch of the pattern, zig-zagging back and forth for like five minutes, until it finally filled in a piece that was already filled in, again, in an anti-climactic poof of dust.

I think the pattern for those in particular are just programmed badly with overlapping bits.

Good thing WQs are largely useless in DF.
I’ll just add this to the list with the climbing quests that are broken half the time.

I’d suspect it’s more an issue that they are designed in a development environment with perfect network and server performance.

Then the game goes live and for whatever reason the server isn’t registering your exact position as frequently as in the dev and test environment, so it breaks.

That’s fair, especially considering that the Cobalt Assembly area right below usually has five thousand people at a time in it spamming spell effects and grinding their faces into mobs en masse.

In BFA i refused to help that turtle lady.

“Haalp! these ignorant little turtles need to learn to write! Make shapes NOW! as fast as you can and be exact about it or you fail too!”

She almost convinced me to give it all up and become a teacher. I was just that good at making a triangle.

You probably already know this–but move your camera so you’re looking down from the top of your toon.

That will give you a better visual as to what remains to be filled in.

The circles are annoying–because they’re circular and we’re limited to an 8-way directional movement…so there is a lot of overlap to get some of the edges.

its buggy. Ive had it work the first time and then yeah…couple dozen times before it’d complete.
buggy as hades, seems to depend on the day and hour, lol

no, even with fine mouse control its hit or miss at times.
I can see Im center line, walk it perfectly 6 or more times and its filled in but still wont complete until I keep doing it 5 0r 10 more times.

seems to be having random problems…buggy

This quest is scripted poorly. I had to do a central glyph before I could do the outside/edge glyphs, despite the fact it showed as if I were tracing the outside glyphs properly.
