Cannith Challenges would work well as end game content if you raised the level cap on them. It would also solve the group issues.

They also need to let level 20 characters into the epic versions.

*wonders if the kobolds in lava caves have gotten back to work

I kept hearing people mentioning issues with them and the global issue of mobs that stop pathing & go braindead.

Good idea, suggestion thread up with that included.

This is done on purpose to not allow players to get there tokens of the Twelve quicker, it would be fiscally irresposible.

@Cordovan while we're at challenges: could you please take a look at Kobold Island challenges on Cormyr? They give incorrect number of ingredients (way too low) compared to 'old' servers, as described here: Kobold Chaos reward bugged
I have sent bug report.

Kobold Island challenges don't work anyway with the AI changes, so this bonus day is undermined if we want cannith stuff rather than eveningstar :<
edit: or are you having more luck with them than me? I struggle to do them now the kobolds pause or go weird so often.

Can't ya wait with that boost till the Kobolds are fixed???

I go there for exp in epics, would be nice to spend the mats on stuff higher than 20.

I ran Kobold Chaos yesterday and monster AI was OK. I did not do the torch ones, so monster pathing was not a issue for me.
I usually skip every challenge except for Kobold Chaos, since this one is the best mats/minute for me (usually 600-700 mats in 15 minutes without weekend boost, solo, and without wondering if I get a good map or not).

Just ran one of the kobold torch challenges. They spent about half the time just standing around staring.

 

[Worngarth]

Just did Extraplanar Palace: The Dragon's Hoard and it was a disaster. Kobolds didn't know where to go, most of the mobs were frozen in place.
Why this weekend bonus when devs must know how broken things are?

​

 

[Phoenicis]

Because they have a dartboard with each section lables they throw darts at to determine the weekly bonus.

There is an AI application that monitors the board and automatically sets what the dart hits, so they only get one shot at it.

Seriously though, this bonus with the current mob issues is a big FU to the players who enjoy challenges.

Loots like the devs repaired Kobold Chaos on the fly. A few hours ago I ran it twice and got 900+ mats/each.
Thank you!

 

[peng]

they're still bugging out most of the time for me

 

[cdbd3rd]

As I'm reading this thread after the pathetic fiasco last weekend with dead server for lantern bonus...

I don't mess much with challenges, but empathize with y'all.

 

[Sophie The Cat Burglar]

My read is that Extraplanar Palace and Lava Caves are borked because kobold on union break.

Kobold Island and Dr. Rushmore's Mansion are fine because they are not union shops.

I had not realized Kobold Chaos was broken in the first place. It is the torch challenges which are clearly broken.
