Seems there are bugs with the quest.
-People reporting being ganked in Guard Zones as ambushers spawn and kill but they cannot fight back as you cannot cast in a guard zone.
-Trade orders not being returned as not all the mobs spawn, burning crates remain but no more mobs to kill.
-Kill all the mobs and burning crates vanish but trade order is not returned.

Any update on this? the guard zone one is quite a big issue is it not? Will Ambushers ONLY target you or will they go on a rampage?.....possible grief exploit issue.

The exact same thing has happened to me on 3 of the 4 trade deals I have attempted. Very disappointed and not sure I'm going to waste anymore time on this arc since this seems par for the course to this point

Yea I tried 5 trade quest from different cities, kill the ambushers but don't get the trade quest chest back. About 10mins later all the trade items show up in my pack and I am not on a trade quest anymore.

Well I got one quest in ok before I didn't make it through the guard zone in Britain. Ambushers ambush, our underpaid guards did their job, even without me asking and now I'm watching a burning wagon wishing I had some of Larisa's marshmallows to roast!

I am not stuck, it popped back. I didn't read the crier paper.

So, how many left over burning wagons will it take to crash a shard? *gulps*

I've done 7 quest I could only finish 1 never found any unusual items
Fires still burning nothing else to kill timer runs out item from chest returns?

Are we supposed to do something with the fire chest ?

Nice testing folks, lets hope any exploiting of this is kept to a minimum at least until it's fixed.

Remember this is part of the 20th anny Arc so was kinda supposed to be a surprise do they didn't want anyone testing it and spoiling all the fun...we are having fun...right? :)

@Kyronix I know you've probably seen already but ambushers spawning in guard zone = BAD ;)

I've done 4 now that have spawned in guard zone and those guards are QUICK! Not sure how to fix that...but it's not a good thing!

No testing = bugs.

This is why I face palmed when I read the original publish notes and why I jumped on TC1 when I heard arc content was live. There were a lot of bugs...

I understand wanting some things to be a surprise, but everything should be tested before being pushed out.

I just had two of my monsters disappear on me. I don't know if it ran out of time or what as 900 seconds is fine (not enough time for me apparently) but there is no way to monitor or be released if they poof. I could only kill two on a more than capable character against other things.

Either that or hire someone that actually tests stuff.

Doing a trade quest right now, already got an item from the last run. So that at least seems to be working for me.

But what burning chest are you talking about? And what is it with these damaged wagons I see along the road? Do they have anything to do with the quest?

Got an item from the first quest, but my chest was gone and I couldn't get it back, then it timed-out and I was left with just the contents. *sigh* This is pretty frustrating...

Also I walked all the way from Brit to Minoc city, then the mobs spawned and I couldn't cast because I was in town! Grrrr!

Yes, it is working. Just an insanely low drop rate on deco event items, considering there are no new rewards for handing in the order.

Killed all the ambushers. The burning goods are gone, but I didn't get my trade stuff back. How do you cancel a trade quest if you don't have the chest?

Yeah this problem isn't fixed
happened twice to me, once to Dev, maybe twice.
Still needs a bit of touch up.
Drop rate bites too.

You can add:
Being teleported into the middle of a burning wagon and being stuck there on a melee char while the spawn surrounds the cart and casts on you. Glad I can wither the spawn down, def would suck for a sampire or pure melee char. Still though... you HAVE to kill the spawn to keep your order, SO WHAT'S THE POINT OF IT TELEPORTING YOU AT ALL? Also, wow, I keep tele scrolls on my char, would have been GREAT if I could use those to get out from being stuck by this buggy garbage. Srsly, what's the point of the mob teleporting you? And what's the big deal with using a teleport scroll while running an order?

Aaaaaand, corpses of your ambushers disappearing. Two hell hounds and a Kraken that I've killed, they've left no corpse upon death, just straight up disappearing.
