Why is Securing the Lines so slow in WoW Forever?
By George In The Meta ·
Short answer: Securing the Lines sends you into Drygulch Ravine in Durotar to kill 12 Dustwind Savages and 8 Dustwind Storm Witches for Rezlak. The savages come quick enough. The Storm Witches are the problem at launch, because the ravine is full of people waiting for the same spawns. I was around 52.2, 23.8.
Why is Securing the Lines taking so long?
Because everyone on your layer is in the same ravine for the same harpies. It was just loads of people here. I was getting completely mugged off by the layer shift. Getting one Storm Witch took quite a while, and I'd been there for some time just running about. When I took the screenshot I was on 8/12 savages and 1/8 witches.
Update: still only 4 of 8 Storm Witches after three hours
We still haven't completed it. At 18:10 I'm on 4 out of 8 Storm Witches, nearly three hours after my first screenshot at 1 of 8. My combat log saw 61 Storm Witches die around me between 15:17 and 18:07, and only 4 of them have counted for me. Here's all the bodies in front of me.
Did layering mess with it too?
I think I got phased while I was mining in the ravine, because suddenly my mining node wasn't valid anymore. That's the same layering problem that broke Lost in the Shadows for my party.
Why did all my quests disappear after a disconnect?
Then I got disconnected and kicked out. When I got back in, it looked like all my quests were gone. They weren't. They'd all just become unmarked, so they'd dropped off the side of the screen. Open the quest log and tick the box next to each quest you want tracked again.
