Shades of Twilight

Ok I have been watching my site statistics lately, and it seems a lot of people (and I mean a WHOLE LOT!) are having trouble with the “Activate The Oracle” quest. Just looking at my inbound links from Google is enough.

I mentioned the workaround in a previous post, but the post was on another topic. I thought it might be difficult to find for future visitors, so I’m posting the solution to making the quest work in its own blog post.

Here’s how you do it:

1. If you activate your Oracle and nothing happens, you must ABANDON the quest.
2. Go to Green Park and talk to the quest giver again. Do NOT talk to him at Charing Cross!
3. Once you get the quest again, activate the Oracle immediately in front of him.
4. If you see the Oracle running off and humping the face of Technician 314, it worked!
5. If nothing happens, repeat from step 1 again.

There we go. I hope now Google can send you guys to this post directly 🙂

[IAH News] Good News from our developers – No Character Wipe. – Hellgate: London Official Forum

Woohoo!!

What else can I say?

But… damn, means I have to create a new char anyway… my first char is only a “test” kinda thing.

For those of you playing Hellgate London on Multiplayer, it appears that there might NOT need to be a character wipe when they patch the servers soon….

I don’t know whether to cry or laugh. On one hand, the character I created for Multiplayer was a “test” one, so if it gets wiped, no biggie. I didn’t really “play properly”. Now that there’s no wipe, I might have to kill this char myself and restart from scratch. Like I said, my online char is only level 4 so it’s fine to kill him off.

In any case, I can’t wait for patch 0 to arrive. The game does NEED some patching especially the “Activate The Oracle” quest. Seems like alot of people are having problems with it. If you’re one of them, read on:

As for online play with Hellgate, I am really starting to enjoy it, although I haven’t finished Single Player yet. It really, really reminds me of what it’s like to play in an MMO, except in this case it’s free (and according to the sentiments of the players I’ve met online, they won’t give a cent to “upgrade” to a premium account). The best part of it is that a majority of the players are LOCAL, ie Singaporeans! Can use Singlish! Can play at same timezone! No more 4am raids! Yay!
