I just tried to play the quest the Parley, emphasis on tried. I can see why it's a good idea, it just didn't work for me. For those who haven't done it, you listen to a long intro then direct spells at the enemy while the queen fights for her life.
The problems for me.
Firstly Lag. In a quest where you are directing others, any lag is bad, in this case it added to the termination of the quest.
Secondly the Strategic position. It hinders the mission far too much, you have to run about directing three mages, the bloody structure obscures the targets, and if you rush too much you fall off the edge.
Thirdly the Intro bit. Where you listen to the queen talk to the Imperial leader, it's long enough first time, third time I was hating it beyond belief.
Fourthly the fact we have nothing like prior to this, and it's obligatory. It's not a learn to play aspect, because it's completely different to the rest of the game (I've done the other two factions and beaten Molag bal, so don't try to claim otherwise). If t was optional (you could complete the faction line) then I would be ok with it, but to complete the story you have to do it, and it's annoying.

People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭✭Finished this one on my sixth go, slipped trying to get a decent angle on the enemy, and finished it down at the bottom.
It needs fixing.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭✭✭✭You can stand in one spot to direct the mage's spells, you don't need to run around, just position the circle over the enemies and click.
When people say to me........
"You're going to regret that in the morning"

It was the ones from the portal on the left, I couldn't get the spell ontop of them, and then I slipped. I tried sticking in one place, but the queen died a number of times.
So I wrote this thread, then slipped halfway through my sixth try, and finished the hated quest.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭✭✭✭Well at least it's done now
At least you didn't do what I tried.........
Ignore the mages and defend the Queen directly.......
It didn't end well!!When people say to me........

Kragorn✭✭✭✭✭God, nearly a year later and this instance is as big a PITA as ever .. all the problems noted in this thread still exist, the fatuously long intro dialog, the horrible targetting .. and to cap it all I got kicked more than once with "message spamming".
Possibly the worst designed instances in the game and there are some real doozies around.1
