You force the player to click on side icon to throw treat and the critter disappears.
You throw the treat and the critters move, the target circle is small.
I walked up to a critter and extra action button showed up one time. I killed the flying creature, but no credit.
0/6 success.
Ah I see you whoever worked is just being a troll or incompetent.
Iâm starting to think the bad decisions for everything in SL are actually developers/designers revolting and sabotaging the game on purpose. Thereâs just too many things that donât make any sense.
A quick check on WoWhead firmly puts this quest in the ânot worth my timeâ bucket alongside the one where you gotta put wings on and collect orbs.
You throw the side icon from max distance, mob gets a buff, and you get a debuff. THEN approach it. Focus target the mob, spam the action bar button. Kill mobs that spawn, spam the button till bar fills up.
This quest was stupid easy to complete. Spent less than 10 minutes on it. Everyone is flocking to the first one they see, then raging because mobs are running away.
Literally go to where people arenât. They spawn all over the place. Itâs not hard to find a spot with little foot traffic.
I was 1/6 and then on the second one âThe little creature loses interest and runs awayâ before I was about to feed it. From all the complaining in zone chat about this daily, I didnât bother finishing it.
Itâs not really bugged. Itâs just really easy to scare away the critters. Okay, maybe a little bugged, but Iâve seen much worse.
It didnât work for me like this⊠as soon as a mob spawns in, the critter despawns while kiling the mob (< 5 sec to kill) and you canât spam the button while a mob is alive. Next critter the bar is essentially reset to zero⊠still 0/6 critters progress. Bad design thatâs not worth doing.
After the bar came up, I found that if I was completely still and didnât move at all while fighting the scavenger and feeding him extra treats, he didnât run away.
But that was just the last two for me when I tried that and it worked, maybe I just had lucky RNG. Youâd think âspookingâ it might just be about being too close, but instead I think even if you stay max distance, any movement will still cause them to run (which is easy to fall into, because it spawns a mob to fight for filling up some of the bar, and a lot of people habitually move a bit while fighting).
I bet this quest will get hotfixed for this issue not to exist next time.
I think youâre probably right, and itâs just a funky intended design theyâll modify next time itâs up. (Which might not be that often, this is the first time Iâve seen this quest ever spawn).
I completed this quest, it is totally doable but just really badly designed and not worth your time unless you just really feel like putting up with a quest thatâs 10 times harder to complete than anything else in the area.
I donât see anything bugged with it, it is just purposely designed to be painful and stupid.
I was in an area where no one was around. I threw the treat and started feeding it the action button. The mob appeared to attack. The critter disappeared about two seconds after the mob appeared. There was no one around. This happened multiple times.
Donât mind the wings one. Itâs actually quite easy when you find the routes with 3 orbs in one jump.
However.
The reagents quest and now this one are added to my personal blacklist.
I donât care that it gives 150 codex, and 125 Deaths Advance rep.
It is so much more time consuming than literally the other 2 quests offered today of go here collect 5 items. Win.
On referring to the actual OP.
Throwing the first treat despawns the stage 1 gromit. Bug #1
Interacting with a gromit and someone walks close to it so it âruns awayâ because itâs still coded for stage 1 instead of focusing on me. Bug #2
The random rng on the gromit âlosing interestâ while you are in combat for a millisecond to long while fighting off the razorwing ambusher. Bug #3
Bug #3 ⊠/10 chars
Sometimes the critter âloses interest and runs awayâ, thatâs intentional. Happens maybe about 1/3 of the time Iâd estimate
Screw this quest.
That was one quest I didnât do. I did the other 4. That quest is just a major annoyance. I was able to complete Shaping Fate on my warlock without doing it.
DH tank here: managed to kill the first mob, feed the critter and then have a go at the second that spawned; critter derezzed bec Iâm obviously not fast enough. Poot.
I had the same issue. It seems that the critter will de-spawn when any other player gets within itâs detection radius. If youâre on a busy server, good luck finishing this quest.
Whoever developed this quest really hates the players. The critters will despawn even if you have already engaged and another players comes along. Itâs not like they are just everywhere that this isnât an issue.
Think of Critters quest
Consumption rare mob
Tiny branches with treasures on top
Maw boss with deathgrippable adds that block LOS
Thereâs a trend here, Blizzard is intentionally designing things to piss off players
Hopefully they get around to fixing it before it comes again on rotation.
Up until about a week a go I couldnât do the Revendreth âDirty Jobâ quests because my ping of no less than 200ms wouldnât let me pick up dredgers. Now I can pick up a dredger, but it takes many right-clicks
