    Wistmead Maze - Not Changing

    I know there was a thread up in the general area, but since this is specific to this Legendary Server, I felt a new thread was needed. I know that people have submitted bug reports, tickets, and then the forum thread from general, and yet NOTHING has been done about fixing the maze. Nobody has even acknowledged the bug reports or tickets, let alone responded in the thread.

    SSG, when are you going to fix the Wistmead Maze so it doesn't continue to stay on Day 1? We can't complete the deed if the maze NEVER changes! Are you going to compensate us on Anor by completing the Maze Deed without us even having to run the different mazes? You should, if you have no plans to fix this before the encore ends. It isn't like we haven't let you know that there was an issue with the Maze at the first opportunity we could - when the maze didn't change on the 2nd day, and have continued to advise every day since then. The way things are going we won't have enough days left to complete each one if you won't even ACKNOWLEDGE that there's a problem with the maze!

    I don't need compensation, but I would really like to see some sort of response. Even if it's just to say "sorry, we probably won't be able to fix it this year". Although, "we'll have a fix in for it later today" would sound so much sexier.

    I'd really like a response as well, considering now the Maze cannot even be entered to do the Gathering Gourds or Preventing a Murder quests. You go into the maze and go right or left and they are just dead ends. Can't go forward either. It is getting really frustrating that a VIP server can't get the Maze fixed for us to properly complete quests or deeds in time.

    There are 3 or 4 threads on this.... but it doesn't seem SSG is planning to fix it. If it was an easy fix (without downtime) they would have probably done so before the weekend. I did /bug it, and got a response the bug was received.... so they ARE aware of it.

    I don't know if it can be pushed ahead manually or not, or whether it will just be left in a broken state till the next patch. In any case, I think we can forget about our Maze Master deeds on Anor..... at least till next year.

    As for compensation.... yeah I don't need or want any, besides maybe a fix and a few more days of festival to complete the deed!

    We have been able to change the maze for today manually, and have a fix in for this for the next game patch, which is tentatively planned for later this week.

    It isn't a matter of the Maze not changing from Day 1 now, it's a matter that you can't ENTER the maze at all to do any of the quests. Even if you ran the Maze challenge and cheat over and over again as day 1 you'd still get the coins for the festival in doing so, now you can't even do that. None of the quests IN THE MAZE can be completed so we're now losing out on 12 festival coins every day!

    It was one thing when we couldn't complete the deed, and totally another when the maze quests themselves can't be completed. Sorry, but compensation for that SHOULD be given as they obviously have just broken the maze even more than it had been broken.

    You didn't fix it.... you broke it more! The maze is now closed off (all walls) as soon as you enter it. That is 4 quests we now lose per day.... Hit the brakes, return, undo what you did!

    I honestly wish we'd kept our mouths shut about it being broken by not changing from maze 1 considering now they've destroyed it completely, instead of fixing it.

    Yeah this is pretty bad! You think they would have checked to see if it worked before saying it's fixed....

    Well, I guess we'll just have to do the maze master deed next year....

    The maze became impassable when this change came in. Judging from where the walls are at the start, maze 1, maze 3, and either maze 4 or 5 are all in existence at the same time. Most likely, it's all five mazes.

    I appreciate that someone took the time to try to fix it! But now we need a fix for the fix.

    The maze changed again this morning, but is still impassable. There are still multiple versions of the maze trying to exist at the same time, but the dead ends at the start are in different positions than yesterday.

    I noticed that. A SLIGHT change (left side), but still completely impassable from all sides when you get in.

    @Cordovan, I think at this point you owe Anor an extra week of festival.... Also, the Legendary Server, Anor and Ithil forums don't show up on the Dev Tracker, so that might be something you might want to address.

    This issue - should - now be fixed, and will be fixed more permanently after a patch.

    I can confirm, maze 5 is now live on Anor. Thanks!
