A day in Camelot, GS1, an effort all to waste
Today, Mayhem and myself went to Camelot, the task was (as always) to try to kill Tarasque. In the past we have had difficulties, both due to clanners and too many omnis competing for loot. Today seemed to be the golden opportunity, GS1 was empty. We took control of T room and had scouts/defensive players in box-room and the hallways.
Present at the raid were 12 Mayhemmers, all buffed up and rearing to go.
The kill went off without interference, Rypht and Taliesin showed and assisted us admirably. Still, killing Tara with only one dmg team takes time.
After Tara was killed, I (as senior member of dmg team) went to loot. When the loot window opened I could see hood, tooth and skull. I loted skull and Zeil1 (NT, with points to bid on items) was to loot the hood. To his dismay the message "someone is already looting" came up.... and stayed there, relogging, swithching loot order...nothing worked.
/petition time.... 7 petitions ahead of you..
A few clanners made it through, Patk9 being one of them. She was killed, but not before I sent her a /tell explaining the situation and that we were waiting for an ARK to arrive.
Finally (15-20 minutes later) ARK Luinitari arrives, I told him the story, and he called for a GM. He also states that this is a known problem. We wait some more, present with me are 2/3 of my original team plus Rypht and Taliesin. Suddenly I saw Patk9 in front of me again, in wolf form, and the dmg messages started pouring in. I was unbuffed for combat and didnt expect it from her since I had already sent her a tell explaining the situation 10 minutes before she sent me and a guildmate to reclaim.
Patk9 and Beartwo had a discussion afterwards where she said she didnt know the situation and called off any further raids by her guild. To her credit, we were not attacked again.
The GM arrived, about 40-45 minutes after T had died. The body of T was still present, but disappeared shortly thereafter. Since T was gone he could not help me/us and can you guess what he told me?
.......we will look into this issue...........
Bottom line, loosing Tara loot to a damn bug su><, and by being a tad more prompt they could perhaps have solved this...
