Puzzle Pillar Quest Bug

[Conan The Conqueror]

While I was having a go at 9 rings on the pillar quest, the rings suddenly reset and 5 rings were stacked on the first pillar. Then in walked another PC...and something inside me screamed and then died. :(

There's no protection to keep one, or likely more than one, PC from being in the quest area at the same time as they can take the quest as well.

And only the person actually completing the final pillar solution gets xp.

Not to mention that this has been a recorded bug since the quest was made.

But I did mention it. I guess I'm a little passive-aggressive toad. :(

Stay out of my bug threads or I will destroy your face. >:|

I'm trying to be supportive and this is how you treat me.

Besides you already destroyed my face remember that wonderful night in Prague when you told me you loved me, now lay face down and bite the pillow?

True story. Though this issue must be raised again, and thus my rage abated. if it had been 10 rings and someone walked in...it would have been a nightmare...

[lovethesuit]

Tried this just now, the rings were not there and the door was unlocked. I walked in, grabbed the loot, and left. Yet I could not complete the quest, so I quit. After I quit, I received XP.

Making it an exploitable bug, that is now public. Bravo! :P

I added a hack that should prevent this but I can't figure out why it happens in the first place.
