The Mechanic Chicken Quests

[Alterego]

Hi I just wanted to ask if all 3 Mechanic Chicken Quests are working properly on your sever? I've never seen any private server or even Retail Vanilla where these 7 (3+ 3 + 1) Quests worked as they should. (they fixed it in TBC)

In Tanaris, Feralas and Hinterlands there is a possibility to drop a mechanic chicken part at random mobs. This mechanic chicken part starts a quest, which will lead you to the chicken itself. Then you can start an escort with this chicken. So for every of the 3 chicken there are 2 quests, maked 6 quests PLUS 1 in Booty Bay, as soon as you finished all 3 of them.

This is actually a pretty important thing for me because in the hard, long lasting leveling phase between 43-51 all these quests combined give you more than half a level.

Here the issues I came across in all the years of WoW:


1. Looting the chicken was impossible while you had another chicken in your inventory (even if it was from other zones)
2. Accepting the quest was impossible while you had another chicken in your inverntory (even if it was from other zones)
3. Finishing the quest wasn possible because the quest window didnt open if you right-clicked the chicken to finish the first quest.
4. Accepting the escort wasnt possible.
5. Chicken despawning while the escort was ongoing (this happend A LOT!!)
6. Infinite enemy spawn while the escort was ongoing (specially in Tanaris this happend a lot)
7. Quest giver didnt spawn
8. Quest giver didnt spawn until server reset
9. Quest giver needed almost an hour to spawn
10. You couldnt accept OR finish the 7th quest to get the pet.
11. Chicken dying way to fast and getting to much damage.


More could be added to this I think, but I'm sure the hardest bugs could be wiped out if you know the problems.


Sorry for my bad English and thanks for the great work. Hoping for a release in December, holiday would be great..

I have experienced the same problems.

Another huge problem with this quest on other servers is that the chicken would get 1-2 shot by the mobs. It was literally impossible to get the aggro before the chicken was killed. From memory, on retail, the chicken was at least as tanky as the mobs in the area. You could even let it tank 1 or 2 mobs while you quickly killed the 3rd.

These quests were great for leveling and it really was a pain that other servers didnt have them working.

Thank you, I edit it.

Rebirth had the chicken quests working properly, so it's definitely do-able on a private server.

It's just a standard escort quest, nothing really special about it.

Yeah, these quests are very important.
I don't remind if during the beta i had problems with these quests. Anyway I thing I will need them during my levelling when the server will open.

All escort mobs are some kind of hyperaggressive and if they see an enemy player they'll chase them down until either the mob or the player is dead.
