I’ve been trying to do the last quest in the Secrets of Azeroth chain. I’ve fought hard to get this done. But this last quest is so very flawed I’m not going to be able to complete it.
I got called away and after lighting the lamps, I didn’t know that I had gotten the buff, the lights weren’t “glowing red” like it said in the guide. So, I went to dinner with my husband, then came back to try to get the buff. When I didn’t get the torch light, I went back to check the orbs since they were all yellow. Nothing could be relit.
And I cannot drop the quest and redo it so I can get the achievement. I believe this is a horrible flaw in this quest, there’s no way to drop it, no way to finish it without trying to kill a million mobs, most with more hit points than I have. And I don’t have the luxury of a guild or group to run with.
I do wish the devs would realize that not everyone can play for hours to get a quest done with no way to drop/re-pick up if it’s interrupted, especially on a special event like this.
And guide writers, if the orb is supposed to be glowing RED, then make sure the color is red. Not “covered with a gold glow that wavers.” because that’s not “red”. It’s yellow.
I am so damned disappointed that I can’t finish this event after the hours, literally, I’ve put into it to finish. I don’t dungeon or raid unless it’s an assignment, I quest. And that event sounded (and was) so much fun, right up till now.
I don’t complain often, but this is just so upsetting, I had to vent.
