Hateful Gamers

The Problem:  “Silver Wares” it’s a quest.  It’s in a zone that is not solo.  It’s designed for ‘probably’ 3+.   You can kinda duo it, most would probably take a full 6 man group to handle the place, as the respawn rate is INSANE.  Even though you could fight through it with fewer numbers, as you weave and bob through the different rooms, respawns will eventually spawn on you unless you are fast enough, and a duo usually isn’t fast enough.

This brings us to Silver Wares.

It’s a quest, to pick up 3 knives from these tables in the dungeon, so they have something to fight the werewolves with.  Cool! The werewolf hunters didn’t bring silver weapons, how funny! So we have to find them weapons in the dungeon with the werewolves!

However, when you pick up the knife, it disappears, and has to respawn..but..it doesn’t respawn..20 minutes later, it still has not respawned.  My group and I gave up waiting.  This morning, I look up the quest on Allakhzam.  From the allakhazam article, we see these comments:

 

Gardengnome writes:The respawn is definately upwards of two hours. Grabbed one and waited for the next one to spawn for a friend and no sign of another spawn and we’ve been waiting for over two hours now. Kinda long respawn imo…

NapFloridian responds:Yeah this is confirmed. It takes days for these silver spoons to respawn. I am waiting now for 3 days for two of my guildmates and me to get the 2 last DINGS. Should be reported as a gamebreak…. Insane Thanks Sony

 

Really?  You have a quest in a dungeon, that requires a group of people to successfully soldier through.  A dungeon that you may bring upwards of 5 other people with you to. A SHARED dungeon, that can have multiple other groups in there, beating you to the silverware knives.  Who the hell makes such a shitty quest and thinks it’s fun to only allow one person a day to finish a quest in an area that will ultimately have many, many people wandering through it.

 

Solution: Fix the respawn rate, or don’t make it disappear in the first place.  This isn’t a release dungeon, this was the third f’in’ expansion.  You should have realized by now that people don’t enjoy this crap.  People leave your game in frustration because of this crap.  Make your game fun, instead of punishing us for playing it.
