Trouble or Bug with Chyloth Quest in Doom

[swroberts]

So while I'm farming for Doom Arties, I collect the Daemon Bones. Because Chyloth gives a tone a fame and I'm sure a huge bump to the Doom arty point process.

Anyway, I get the quest, drop the 1000 bones, the Bone Deamon is summoned...and every single time...7 now...that the Bone Deamon comes on screen...my client freezes, requiring a restart. Now I can deal with the freeze, I expect it now. But every time I have to restart I don't get the golden skull drop. Which is really irritating.

Devs - please fix it so the skull will drop even after a log out or client restart. Correcting the freezing issue would be nice too.

Two additional points.
-My client does not freeze at any other point or land in the game, just here.
-If I roll in with 2000 Bones and do him twice in a row, it only freezes on the first summons.

Thanks
Fallon

Just buy a gold skull from the scripters.

I hadn't thought about it before, but if the Doom regular artifact system got turned off because of a conflict with the ToD system, it seems quite possible that the golden skull drop was also "turned off" until after ToD is over. That's unfortunate.

On the other hand, are you getting ToD drops from doing the encounter?

What client are you using?

Never failed to get a golden skull from the bone daemon since the publish on my end. Got some 12 or so so far.
I am running the EC here.

Probably not related, but i was crashing while clicking/dragging targets with a spell cursor.

I'm using EC, and can get a skull, I just have to roll in with 2k bones. Drop the first 1000....when the bone daemon appears on screen...freeze...ctrl-alt-delete....relog in...kill the bone daemon with no skull drop. Immediately repeat quest...drop second 1000...no freeze...kill bone daemon...skull drop .

What I would really like the Devs to change is losing the Skull drop if you get logged off....and I think you lose the skull drop if you get killed(but I can't remember).

Which shard is this happening on? I was on Lake Austin Saturday evening trying to do t-maps and gather materials for a new suit and was disconnected multiple times and/or had lots of problems with the game just freezing. I know there was an EM event about ready to start there when I first logged in, but the freezing and disconnects were happening for several hours after the event should have ended.

Is your character partied with any other characters before/while doing the quest?

You lose the skull drop if you leave the dungeon or log/are forced to. I ended up dying to the BD+spawn & had to have a guildmate come res me. Once it died, I got the skull.
