Filer's Side quest.

Submitted in game, but also submitting here.

A number of times all of the tomes have been dealt with however the quest/wing doesn't end and you're left roaming around for several minutes trying to locate a tome that just is not there. Additionally there will be no juice to skill 2. Only recourse is to allow the tentacles to defeat you and you "fail" the sidequest.

I've had this happen several times, but each time there was still at least one tomeshell still floating about. It can take a while for your skill 2 to start working again, unfortunately.

There was no tomeshell. Also the second skill has a limited number of shots to it. So it's not a matter of waiting for it to recharge.

your still missing a tomeshell then

the number 2 skill is not limited use, if you spin around and it does not go on cooldown, then your out of range of the tomeshell (the aoe on this skill is 50 meters, and it is possible to be out of range of the tomeshell if its on the other side of the map)

pretty much all of the tomeshells are along the outer edge, but if your not getting any hits from the number 2 skill, your out of range and it might make more sense to move closer to the middle of the area (where the skill can hit effectively the whole map)

There was no tomeshell. The two of us paraded around the entire map. Spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning. Additionally my Tomeshell skill #2 shows a 2/2, 1/2, and 0/2. Each time I spin it and it sends out it's juice.

Sounds perfectly plausible to me, considering the many bugs in this game.

I love the way you patiently keep repeating your point.
It's infuriating how many people immediately assume that anyone complaining must be doing something wrong.

What is that number? Its not something shown in console ui even with timers enabled

Necrotech_Master

that looks like it might be some addon, but i can 100% guarantee that the skill does not have a limited number of uses

i run on PC but dont see those kind of numbers on the skill

while it could be possible there may have been a bug, i have never seen one in the 40-50+ (lost count at this point) times ive done the watcher bonus portal

80% of the posts ive seen about some of the bonus portals are misunderstandings on how things function in them

If you're not aware, the side quests become more difficult the more times you complete them.

I never got a bug in Watcher Wing so i dont know about that but the skill has unlimited uses. Numbers are from addons. 1/2 means there 2 different timers for this skill. In this case 1/2 is probably CD for the skill while 2/2 is the time left on what the skill does. Should i also add that u have 2 diffrent addons showing the timers? U can see that there is "13" behind "8.9".
If the skill doesnt work it means there is no Toomshell in range and thats it. Skills dont change with higher difficulty, they always work the same.

the difficulty changes for the watcher bonus is:

• more tomeshells to find (max difficulty is 4 tomeshells per person)
• lower max health (max difficulty your down to 4500 max hp, you can only take a few hits before dying)
• hushed enemies chasing you (start to appear on difficulty 3, remains unchanged from there)

Looking at my original comment where I stated all the tomeshells had been dispatched, but we were still in Filer form:

It makes perfect sense as to why the skill would not fire from multiple points on the map. Thank you for your valued input.
