the new SoC system needs the boss to die to get the skill right, well after markis dies, the mission ends with a cutscene .... GREAT

you cant possibly comprehend how pissed i was when my soc cast stopped halfway for the goddamn cutscene

Hmmm... Never thought of this. That's a problem that was caused by the new patch.

I'm sure it will be changed. Try and be patient. You'll get your skill.

PS - Short Everquest 1 story. Getting your epic weapon in Everquest 1 can take you 6 months. and you MUST have a 100-200 person UBER raid party to get it.

Anyway... I spent the 6 months working towards my epic. finally got all the pieces I needed. Started handing in the quest items. Half-way through the hand in...

BOOM! Server goes down.

Had to start a 6 month long quest all over again. Sony told me that they could not help me out at all.

So it could be worse. =)

Do you HAVE to wait until the boss is dead. Or can you still do it the old way as well?

Guess Anet didn't think too hard before updating.

No Idea

It is rumoured there is one more boss that has barrage, but it's unconfirmed, and Markis is the staple barrage giver. This was a bad move to an extent by Anet.

I guess they did, since 99% people is happy as hell. These are minor glitches that obviously will be corrected soon.

Yes another boss has barrage, can't remember the name atm. On Abaddon's Mouth, usually on the far west side of the island (near the end of the bonus)

That's a harsh judgement. One skill out of how many hundreds of skills can't be captured, and you insult Anet's intelligence?

Incidently, Markis passes over a bridge where you normally run underneath during an Infusion Run towards the beginning of this scenario. Has anyone every managed to slow Markis from underneath (Imagined Burden or Iron Mist) and then had the remainder of the party catch him on the normal path and kill him?

I think it's probably possible for an organized group to accomplish - potentially ending the mission in the first 5 minutes.

Yeah, this is the first thing I thought of when I read the update. I'm sure it will be fixed very shortly.

Nope. The SoC did not work on non-bosses before. Well, I have tried it at least, didnt work for me. Perhaps Anet should allow for both ways of capturing?? 1 method is while boss is still alive(old method), and the new method when boss is dead.

or just make the skills that are on the bosses with cutscenes appear other places as well

It does, in the case of Barrage, but the problem is, the Iron Mines (Where you can gank it from Markis) are significantly earlier than Abaddon's Mouth (Where Snyk has it), and thereby, you get more use out of it. Particularly since Barrage is a great PvE elite.

exactly my point

i dont doubt this one be fixed in a week, but it just so happens that i was on that quest when the update went though...so i was happy about the infusing, but made about losing an elite...but im more happy about not having to do a quest 5x

first online game played....was a 56k "download a patch in a week" poor sod.

so the updating of this game makes me "moist"...so eay..so nice to check whats been bettered.
the glitchs are so few and rare that its a pleasure to restart and get updated.

the updating is being done very nicely on this game,so insulting the devs is a bit OTT.


ps...did you know they dont charge a monthly fee ?
so they are giving you £100 a year in your pocket ?????...should praise...not whine.

Guys you have to Remember Markis Orgianlly Wasnt orginally Suppose to be capable but people complained about him not being capable

now they change it back to the way it was and people complain

I finished the markis mission with a group of people and later returned with henchmen to get the elite from him.
I just rushed in with henchmen, i never attacked, i just went to markis and applied the soc.
I didn't care about my own, or my henchmens well being or the sake of the mission.
The enemies were concerned with attacking the henchmen who fought to defend themselves and i don't even remember being attacked myself.
Easiest skill i ever got. Just my 2 cents.

This was before the update btw.

I got this skill first time I reached markus, but then again I completed this mission with Henchmen as the groups never seemed to gel, either "I'm fully infused lets kill mursaat and jade armours" or "infuse run, i need infuse run", have never found a group to take it slow and do the mission with.

off topic

BTW this is pre patch, it maybe different now as you only do one run, and the infused armour is not as resistant, so it may teach the elite uber warriors to slow down or die. It is not a rush to get to the end, but to fight, kill and most importantly stay alive. The biggest bonus is if players actually look after each other.
Had a group like that today, untill we reach Temple of Ages and took on 2 more to do Galrath. Only takes one Beep of a player to ruin a team.
They should include the option to boot party members in combat zones and have them replaced with henchies when you enter next combat zone, like they have done with the PvP.

So is the general consensus that Markis isn't the one to get barrage from, because of the cutscene problem, and that you have to get it from the wurm at Abbadon's Mouth, or did someone find a way to nab it quickly before the cutscene starts?

You originally couldn't cap it from markis, then they made markis a boss so you could, and now they made it so you can't cap it again. I really wish the devs would work out issues with things before they release a bandaid nerf for one week that messes up the entire game for a small amount of people.

You need Porky Pig in your party so he can grab the shinking circle and say "budubudubudu---that's all folks" which should give you enough time to use your SoC.
