Vanguard Pisses Me Off – AGAIN
Look, it is a well-known fact that Vanguard has its share of problems. Coming back, I was willing to overlook them in the hopes that I would like the game enough to continue with it. With that said, I’ve just about had enough with these stupid quest problems. The same quest line that gave me major problems earlier now has me banging my head against a wall again.
I am on the next phase of the URT: Undead Envoy quest line. The quest is named “Soul and Brain Power.” The objective is to run over to Veshka’s Monastery, kill a few of Veshka’s followers, and aquire a brain and torso from their bodies. I also needed to go to the graveyard behind the monastery and absorb the spirit of a Wandering Spirit that can be found there. Veshka’s Monastery can be found along the road east of Misthaven.
I easily found the monastery and killed a few of Veshka’s followers that were milling around outside. I quickly obtained the brain and torso. I then ran around the back of the building and found the graveyard. It is full of aggressive undead. I spotted the Wandering Spirit and watched what he was doing. The Spirit will slowly wander around the graveyard, which made this part of the quest much easier. I killed several of the undead to clear out a corner of the graveyard. I then waited for the spirit to wander past. I used the URT Spirit Absorber when he came into range and it was done in an instant. So far things are going great.
Quest completed, I ran back to Misthaven to turn in the quest to Helave Velore. Just one problem. She doesn’t think I have completed the quest. My quest journal shows all objectives complete. The quest tracker shows everything complete. Why won’t this bitch acknowledge it? I tried putting all the items in the bank and then logging out. I put the items back into my bags upon re-entering the game but that didn’t work when I tried to turn them in again.
This is frustrating beyond belief. How long has this game been out? As a casual player, I don’t have the time or inclination to be put through crap like this. I want to have fun playing a game, not cursing at my screen and writing articles like this one. Right now, I can’t see paying to play this game when my free time is up. Why should I when everything I try to do is broken?
