Warlock Dreadsteed Quest line

by moodyblues4me » Fri Apr 01, 2016 12:30 pm

Looking for a group to complete the Warlock Dreadsteed quest line. http://www.tentonhammer.com/guides/warlock-epic-mount-quest Look for Crimsontide. Usually online in the AM (USA CSDT) and the early afternoons. Need at least 4-5 to complete and will prolly take a couple hours. I haven't completed this in retail so it will be something new! Other Warlocks are more than welcome!!

BTW. have completed everything up to the dungeons.

Crimsontide (Lock)/Beachy (Feral Druid) Hothothot (Fire Mage)

Why are you doing this on the PTR? Did it noticeably change in TBC and you want to test it?

Why not test it? It seems to me that the entire TBC needs to be tested. Jewelry was added in TBC. Did you test it or accept the full 375 of it and move on.... I am testing it as well as other "regular" quests of TBC and prior... they intertwine and the need to see if that connection is there.

The server is stock Mangos, meaning the scripts for the summoning of the Dreadsteed are most likely not present on the PTR. Wait for TBC to release for it to have the vanilla scripts or do it on one of the live vanilla servers.

If something that was in Vanilla isn't altered in TBC, then there's zero point testing it. It won't work now, but it will because they can just copy their scripts from their Vanilla servers.

"IF" a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its ass! As you say "IF", how would you know unless you test it.

Calm down bud. Nothing changed in the lock dreadsteed questline which is why there is no testing for it. The TBC project is in an alpha phase. It won't have things work. Things break. If you want to do the quest, just do it on the vanilla server. The PTR is for testing and research and development to have a working product by the time of it's release. Hence the name P(layer)T(est)R(ealm).

Since nothing changed from the vanilla class quest to the TBC quest, it isn't scripted yet. Once all the TBC stuff gets done and ironed out, they will most likely copy/paste the code from the vanilla servers for us to see if any odd bugs come about.

Robotron didn't say if as in it might not have changed. He implied IF something hasn't changed (like 99% of Vanilla things didn't) there is no reason for players to test it which is why it is still stock mangos with no custom code for that stuff as they already have mangos scripts on the vanilla server for that stuff.

Definitely not upset. Just wanted to complete a quest line. Obviously, what is important to one is trivial to someone else. BUT, I don't appreciate assumptions or implications. There are, BTW, quests within vanilla that are still broken and are carried over to TBC, still broken. The best example I can give is the quest in Hillsbrad Foothills, "Hints of a New Plague?" quest line. The courier is supposed to walk with her escort from Go'Shek to Tarren Mill. It doesn't happen in vanilla nor TBC. They are "stuck" in different places in each version.

Then somebody should report the bug :P.

Anyway, I thought I'll chime in as this topic answered my question on whether it'll be possible to port the vanilla changes (because I love it when the content of previous endgame works on the new expansion).
