    I usually drop the entire nuclear arsenal on them, but then, I am also usually the only one there.

    I've had no trouble finding wasps, and any wasp on the island counts so not sure what the big deal is.

    Same. I think OP is incorrect about how most players find a wasp for the quest.

    I waited at one location that had a group of people. I just figured the wasp has a fast respawn time. After a few minutes I just realized these were people that did not have a clue. Sadly.

    When I find a wasp I hit it once and wait for other players to come by and finish it off.

    Hee! Even better, my CP810 healer simply tosses heal-over-time spells and buffs to players during a quest like this. Works perfectly in this type of overkill situation because she adds zero damage but will still get lootable corpses from the kills of those she heals/buffs.

    The big deal is the game doesn't tell you that. When you don't have a clue what you are looking for, and you see the big blue circle, logic will tell you to go there.

    Now I know, thing is, before I didn't and it seems many other people didn't know. Not knowing is a big deal. After all not like we have any manuals to ignore. :P

    This is how most players found a single wasp.

    ZoS, have you seriously not listened to any of the complaints about this event from last year? Or do you think this is a good way for players to complete a quest?

    I dont know what you are doing but i did the event quests yesterday with 6 chars and today again with 4 i think and i never needed more than 5 minutes for this quest. Also you can move away from the marked area, the wasps outside count!

    The strange thing is you knew this going in, its always been able to be triggered by any wasp and yet you still go to the circles?

    I have done this event now 19 times, every single time there is someone in zone telling people that any wasp will do.

    The same thing with the mammoths for murkmire prepper, any mammoth would do.

    What they should or shouldn't "Fix" I have no idea I'm not in control nor do I have the delusion that my opinion matters to them.

    Do the event, realize that those circles on all these kill/collect quests are general markers and take the 20 seconds it takes to find a mob outside those markers and see if it works.

    In a perfect world this wouldn't be an issue as the quest would be altered to explain this, but this is ZOS we are talking about here. Do you want to scream into a canyon or complete the event?

    But how is someone supposed to know where to find "any" wasp or wolf? Unless someone has made a new DC character recently, they wouldn't know where to find wasps and wolves on the island. There are only a few spots where they spawn.

    You are right, the Betnikh map is even bigger than Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim. And there is no chat, no other players and no internet. You are bascially helpless on a never ending adventure. Turn Back! ;)

    Ah for the days when you could write a letter to one of the gaming magazines asking for help on a particular quest or adventure, and with any luck yours would be one of the three or four requests published in a few months time, probably with an enquiry as to whether any other reader could help?

    I even had a phone call one Sunday lunchtime from a young gamer asking if I could help him with a puzzle he was stuck on in the text adventure I'd had published - I was so impressed at his nerve that I let my meal go cold while I explained it to him :smile: !

    Sadly those days are gone, and it's all instant help through ingame chat and forums :wink: !

    I remember these times. It was great. When internet became more and more a thing, i realized that i needed to learn to play games blind again ;)

    Ah never fails to impress me on how many people cannot read. You would deserve the sarcastic LOL vote.

    Not that this will help anyone, at all... really wasting my time because people can't read, or think.. but
    I've done this quest on a dozen characters, each within 5 minutes. But still, the screenshot I took is ridiculously bad design. I'm more upset that ZoS didn't adjust anything after the numerous complaints from last year, than the actual quest itself.

    I'll probably have to post that a dozen more times for every *** that comes along thinking "I've done this in 30 seconds flat, so because I picked up the lack of poor design of ZoS's game, it doesn't need improvements"

    You're welcome. I do the same with wolves too, but occasionally my monster set procs. ;(

    This is my first year. I ignored the blue circle assuming that this quest would be similar to the mammoth steak quest from Jar-Lee where any mammoth in The Rift would give steaks not just those in the circles. With that is mind I haven't had any issues finding wasps or wolves outside of the marked area.

    Same. Tonight it took me a little longer to find one, but, well, it is a hunt.
