Bug: Thrusting Hodir's Spear Quest

Raventiger · 05-01-09, 02:34 PM

Hi,

Nui doesn't seem to display the grip information needed to complete this quest. The quest uses the vehicle mechanism to maintain a grip on the dragon. If the grip value reaches zero you fall and die. This looks like a fun quest to do but I can't seem to work out how to do it. Any help would be warmly appreciated.

Regards

Raven

First DO you have the update one for 3.1 if not Go DL it that might be the problem

#2 IS the action bar set to the first one if not change it to that and see if that work

#3 Did nUI throw an error if so post it so scott can see it

#4 IF none of these help I'm sorry and i cant think of any thing else ATM

I may be mistaken, but doesn't the grip appear as a debuff on the character? If so, I would expect to see it at the top left of the HUD. If it's a character buff, then it should appear in the player aura bars on the left side of the display.

This might actually tie in with the vehicle information for the ulduar run.

I was in a refurbished devastator the other day for our first boss kill this week and being the first time in the vehicle in the two weeks we have been running it I thought I would check up on everything.

Apparently there is supposed to be a number displayed showing the pyrite count as it needs to be maxed out before the fight itself.

But althought I thought I had found the value I found out during the course of the fight that either it had nothing to do with it or it wasn't updating whatsoever as I soon ran out of pyrite too soon and couldn't use it when the boss froze up and was supposed to be hurled pyrite.

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I am using nUI+ 5.03.01, which I believe is the latest, and my action bar did correctly change to my 'vehicle' abilities, so that was fine.

I will try the quest again and check buff/debuffs to see if the Grip value shows up there. Thanks for the suggestion.

The grip is a Buff for your character I've done it many times with nUI enabled I do use the basic aura's rather than the aura button add on for nUI but I don't think that will matter

You are quite correct, it shows up as a buff on the Wild Wyrm and can be seen under the buffs section. After a couple of goes at the quest I managed to successfully complete it too. Yay!

Many thanks to everyone who replied and helped me out with this.
