The Ancient Bear

Feedback:
The ancient bear needs a static spawn point with no placeholder if he’s the only objective of a quest. I cleared bears for 90 minutes or more last night and he didn’t spawn.
Remove exceptional loot from his table and put it on Misha or something to prevent farming drops, but please make it possible for new players who are quest oriented to finish it.

Thanks for the feedback! I think these types of quests are fine for higher levels - but in the newbie zone we shouldn't be asking you to camp an area for that long. We'll get some changes in.

Yes, we've been discussing this at length this morning and I was on the fence about it before your feedback. This is why player feedback is so important so thanks for posting @Daikano

A few days back I joined a group that was going to work on the quest for the bear in the bear cave. We were farming bears trying to get this quest bear to spawn. We did get a white named bear to spawn, which was awesome! But after about a hour and a half of killing all the bears in the cave and bears outside, we finally got the actual bear for the quest to spawn. That seems to be way too long of a period of time to get a quest NPC to spawn for any quest, at any level. Quest NPCs as Daikano said need to be static spawns with no place holder. And if people without the quest kill the quest NPCs trying to get loot, they quest NPCs should not drop anything and have a very quick respawn time no more than 5 minutes. That way people trying to farm quest NPCs for loot will learn quickly its not worth it and move on, so that when people with the actual quest get there the NPC will be ready for them. Also I think the white named bear and the bear for the quest need a good boost in their total hit points, and a slight DPS boost. They were bigger bears, yet not any tougher or meaner than the normal 4 ups in the cave.

Thanks for all of the hard work you guys do on this awesome old school style game, I cannot wait for launch day!!!!!
