during beta, there was a bug that when firiona vie died the mechanic for the reset would spawn a false chest. and a false win. proving 10 raid currency and a key!
well they have stated that its fixed.

absor liiiiiiiiiiiiiiies

confirmed it last night after letting firona vie die 30x times with my box group.

BOOM

chest spawned.

cheers.

have fun getting raid gear with your box armies :D
 
You have to have progression through Arx Mentis done on at least 1 character (partisan/group mission) to request. No one else has to have *any* progression done to get into the instance since the NPC is in Katta Deluge.

I didn't think FV could die on Event 1... looks like I'll be trying this once servers are up :p

Edit: Just checked - you need 6 people in group (mercs don't count) and everyone in the group has to own TDS to request the raid. Phrase is "prepared" from Firiona in Katta. I've got Expedient Recovery up so gonna go die for a few hours and see what happens!

I don't always believe the patch notes so I figured it was worth a shot but... I ran this today with 4 separate instances/characters going every ~5 min for 2 hours. Nothing. So either it's definitely fixed or OP is doing something special that is triggering the false win.
 
they said they fixed it, i raid with a top 10 raiding guild and we still get false wins on wipes. not as much

but it works.

a friend of mine on zek got it to pop on event one also
after they patched it.
its less likely to happen yes but it still does.

thats the two most unlucky hours of your life LOL :(

mine happened around my 30th reset of event 1

the way it goes,
every raid that absor codes always has two problems.
A.false wins upon reset/failure
B. no set exit point so when the instance goes down you pop at succor spot in POK in front of the POT stone.
 
Can you provide any more info on exactly what your setup/method was?

For me: I grabbed the DZ on a toon. Zoned in. I only had 1 toon in the instance at a time. All of these tries were on event 1. I would aggro one of the KOS mobs around the pyramid and then faded / evac it off to trigger the event. The squads moved in but were non-active(as usual). I would then do the "Hail," text to the Mayor and say the trigger word. Immediately after, I'd drop down the side of the pyramid into a corner to avoid aggro. The mobs would go live, Firiona & crew would walk in and suicide. Event fail. Reset.

A few times I would catch aggro and wind up ToTD'd or flat out die and it would still fail and reset. I also tried it a few times with multiple characters in the zone.

Just trying to post all the different details so maybe we can figure out if there is some particular condition to increase the odds of it occuring. It's just hard to believe that after 80+ attempts it never bugged for me. I know other guilds on my server have had the bug but that was reported prior to the last patch where they "fixed" it but apparently didn't fix it.

Thats not an absor bug thats an EQ bug if you zone in from a banner or campfire you always get ported to pok if the instance goes down in any instance not just raids.
 
I've been doing this for over 4 hours and close to 40-50 attempts. This does not work as it has already been fixed long ago. unless you can provide us some useful information admins please remove this as its a waste of time and old news.
 
i have my whole 7 box crew in raid, but only my two bs wizzy/druid for repeated deaths. not just one toon. usually 1 dies if not both toons.2 die thats the only thing i do differently.

and i cast movement speed buffs on fv when the raid goes live

the other person i told about this has done it with a cleric/warrior. will talk to him about his methods but literally all it takes is the reset mechanic to trigger.

First and foremost, i give zero crap about redcents, im just tying to give yall a chance to get the best gear on your toons. something that they said they fixed they didnt.
EXPLOIT IT.

/rant off
WIPE TILL IT RESETS AND A CHEST SPAWNS.
 
Wouldnt waste your time. I still have yet to get it to work and ive been on it all day.
 
I'm giving this a go now. One thing I did find interesting, is you have to have 6 toons to request the raid. all I know so far, geting 6 bots together.

If you have a second account, just make Lv 1 characters, invite them to group, log out, make a new one, repeat. This is one of those raids where it will count offline people as one of the six and there isn't a level spread check.
 
Just tried this many different ways. Killed a mob to trigger the Mayor, pulled a mob and mem blurred to trigger mayor, pulled a mob then faded to trigger mayor. Triggered mayor, each time whether I died or not, no chest.
 
hell ive seen it trigger on live raids 2 3 4 and twice on raid 1 under reset it till it pops method.

/shrug

im not stressing the redcents just thought id share what i discovered.

hopefully it pops for one of yall so you can enjoy as well.
 
Neo,

I spend a good portion of the day since server came up doing this over and over. Went through almost 2 full length instances. This did not work. I'm not sure when it was confirmed working but maybe it did in the past but as of today it does not work
 
I think there are enough people who are testing / have tested this. Closing the thread. If someone gets it to pop, let me know and I'll reopen.
