I think I ran that one 2 years ago.  Is it bugged?  Or is there something fun it was doing?

It was doing something fun.  It happened to me once about 6 months ago and I haven't gotten it to replicate.  I hear people mention in on Ghallanda from time to time.

Not going to say publicly what it is just in case that's not the bug they are fixing.  I'd really like to see it happen again.

If I had to bet, I would bet somebody has been farming the optional harpie xp instead of running the boring quest.  For some reason Turbine wants you to run a quest, but only exactly the way they envisioned you doing it.  Find a different way, a way that's fun, or worse still, quicker, and they will squash it with extreme prejudice.

This is probably the last quest with an optional near the entrance that you just diplo for XP. Now they will move the XP to the completion XP like all the others they had.

Isn't it only like 1000 XP? But if there are no mobs on the way to the harpies to fight, it could still be easily botted.

rofl this was one of the best
ETR in like 20min? it took them 6+ hours to replicate get it set up though so it took a whole guild to get it going. I have a gag order from the person who figured it out. I will not be the one to give more details. Hope he didn't get hit with the banhammer. It was not usable with rXP though...

Damn SSG, this only happens like once every year is the freaking black friday sales for us. One got all the ED done, one got 3-4 heroic PL and ePL done, this had done all the good wonders to many,  yet another mystery we will never know what really happen, how it happen and how often it appear, thanks SSG.

Someone just posted an important part of it on the mobo already.

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/491837-Temporary-Quest-Closure-Lines-o...

"But found a work-around with a bit of research: if you log out and back in, you reappear in the quest, objective completes and the quest finishes with XP. Everyone in the party logged and back in one at a time. Not sure if this trick would still work when soloing."

That is enough to get started on

Anyone that feels the need to exploit for XP instead of just playing the game should have a mental health screening.

Oh wait it's just your average everyday typical human mental illness that gets by and large unacknowledged.

Anyone that feels the need to grind out the game, rather than just play with all the rewards delayed by time, needs to have their head examined.

This has been out well over a year. You need to grease more assholes, and explore exploits more seriously if you want the goodies baeee. If you don't find your own then people will want to share with you less.

Cheers

Wow... Sorry I missed it.

Again. Tongue

Although really, I hate the very notion of Storm Horns quests, so it's probably moot anyway.

This has been out well over a year.

How the fuck can you run an MMO and not have instrumentation/automated reporting to identify when someone level/plat/ED caps in 30 minutes or uses scripting?  [Rhetorical.] 

GGG/Path of Exile is an example of how to do it right.

This is long known exploit in Ghallanda and in Cannith... bug harpy kill giant bug quest.. relog/reenter wit penalty or not and enjoy capping in 1 hour. Whole guilds have been doing this, just like the spider farming warlock bots in TOEE. See the guild called Bad Girls in Cannith, perma afk in TOEE with at least 1 warlock. But SSG needs 1 year + to find out ...
