"Black Loch
The quest has received a significant visual update to improve performance and aesthetics."

I'll believe it when I see it......

well compared to being killed by visual lag it is an improvement...
You still can't complete, but at least you're alive.

I completed this quest 2 days ago. I had to rerun it 1 time because one dude didn't activate to kill to get the chest to spawn. I put in a help ticket, lol funny right. I figured I may as well as I reran it to see if I could get a quick autocomplete. Obviously I ended up completing on my own before anyone got to me.
  

Fuck Off, That is all

--Required Vault Response: I love when people say "you can't complete it".  No, YOU are the fucktard who can't complete it because you don't know what they broke (it has been posted). I can complete it because I now know what is wrong.


Now that Flimsy said they were "fixing Misery's Peak to shorten the quest", I predict it is the next quest to be broken in some manner.

Another DEV "SQUIRREL" moment where they don't fix what was reported:
Quote:
"While I was there poking around Misery's Peak, I shortened the quest and reduced the number of cultists. Expect to see that change on live servers in a few months (i.e. next major patch).  No matter what I did, I couldn't get the spiders to misbehave, so they're staying where they are for the time being. "


So, a dev finally goes into content to look for something and had an enlightening moment: "Holy fuck, this is a long ass stupid quest that would just drive people from the game."
..if only that would spread to other content and the idea that Dungeon Alert has also drive people (laughingly) away from the game.

Lets be honest dude, his boss said "go complete misery's peak 10 or 20 times to make sure you actually fixed it."

Then in true turbine fashion he spent 80-100 hours figuring out how to shorten the quest so when he ran it he could save an hour or two.

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Not even going to lie, I've fucking hated that quest since the moment I first stepped into it 9 years ago.  It's always been too long and a fucking slog to get through, but with the changes in agro I can't even imagine the hell it must be for new players to deal with.

File under "shit that should have been improved years before but...Turbine."
