Brewfest Hotfixes - 10/03

We've recently applied a number of hotfixes for the new Brewfest holiday event.

As we’ve seen a large number of issues stem from the Dark Iron attacks on Brewfest, both for our players and the game service, they have been temporarily disabled. At this time we’re still in the process of evaluating the situation and developing a better solution; however we hope to see the Dark Iron dwarves resume their attacks as soon as possible.

Until then we’ve increased the ticket rewards for the daily "Bark For..." quests from 15 to 40 tickets, and kegs are now worth 3 tickets for the delivery quest that can be performed every 12 hours. This still allows everyone to gain tickets at a rate comparable to what we intended the average player to be able to achieve before the Dark Iron attacks were disabled. For some players, especially on realms where tickets from the attacks were difficult to achieve, the amount of tickets received per-day could actually be increased.

As the Dark Iron attacks have stopped, we’ve removed the ability to obtain a “Complimentary Brewfest Sampler” by /waving at Brewfest barkers and maidens. This will remain disabled and should the attacks begin again the samplers will be obtained through alternate means.

We’ve also hotfixed the Brewfest goggles to remove their duration. They are now permanent! The duration timer will continue to show until the next patch, but it will not affect the permanence of the goggles.

Q u o t e:
UHHHH no fair, I did it this morning and only get 15, so your telling me just because they are late they get to benefit from it...

I'm going to quote my response from another thread.

Q u o t e:

The Barker quest may now give 40 tickets but at the time you completed the daily quest you were also able to fight the Dwarves. Both issues are related, the dwarves are being removed for the time being and because you can no longer get tickets from fighting them you are receiving an increase in tickets to help compensate.

Just in case some of you are not monitoring the original thread in General or my original post in this thread let me quote you the most recent update that Drysc has provided.

Q u o t e:
Update 10/04 4:37 PM PDT: Just a quick update that we've been working throughout the day attempting to find a proper solution to the barking quest issue. We're coming close to a final resolution and we'll update again once everything is working.

You can only do one a day. You are able to do one Ram/Keg run every 12 hours though.

Q u o t e:
It was my understanding that Pink Elekks is a one-time quest that some users were able to repeat once due to a hotfix. Are you sure this has been made a daily quest? (If so, it's bugged, as I currently cannot pick it up.)

The "Pink Elekks on Parade" quest is, indeed, a one-time opportunity; it has not, to my knowledge, been made into a daily quest. :)
