Kessex Hills' Skill Point - Ol' Stinky

There is supposed to be an NPC Hylek next to a “cannon” named Ol’ Stinky. You talk to the Hylek to do the Skill Challenge.

The NPC Hylek is not there. I tried waiting for a day, he is still not there.

This is the thing I need to finish in order to gain 100% map completion for Kessex Hills. Thank you for reading.

Try looking on the hilltop above the Tagotl Grounds; the island just west of Triskell Quay.

What server is this?

If this is still occurring, could you leave the names of the Servers that are affected? I just checked Blackgate and Tocatl was standing where he should be by Ol’ Stinky. I’d also like to clarify that for the ‘Tower of Nightmares’ release and ‘The Nightmares Within’ release, the skill point was moved slightly. It originally was on the tip of the peninsula north of the Eukaryan Caves and we moved it to the island above the Tagotl Grounds (the island just south of Viathan Waypoint in Kessex Hills)

Thank you all, I’ll keep looking in to this, but it would be most helpful if I knew which servers were affected

Also, it is not above the Tagotl Grounds POI, its above the Truffle Pig Heart, where its always been.

Just to clarify, that was where we moved Ol’ Stinky and Tocatl during the Tower of Nightmares and The Nightmares Within Releases; he should now be back in his original spot above the Eukaryan Caves. We are currently investigating the missing or broken Tocatl on several servers.

Thank you for your patience, we are still working to find a permanent fix for this elusive issue. We are looking for servers where Tocatl is missing after the Origins of Madness release.

If Tocatl is missing from your server, it would help us if you could please post with the Server name, date, and time you noticed he was missing.

The problem is that we can’t reproduce this, or find any reason for this to happen. It’s especially baffling because after the Toxic Alliance story ended, we moved the skill point back to its original position.

We’re going to try moving Tocatl away from Ol’ Stinky on the 18th to see if that fixes what we think might be the cause of this bug… for now hold off on more reports. If you still see that Tocatl is disappearing after our February 18th release, then please let us know the server and the time. We’ll figure this out! /shakes fist
