Disappointed with Beasts of Fable

Post by Guest » March 5th, 2013, 6:05 pm

I was really looking forward to figuring out how to win these battles, what pets would work the best ... eventually sneak in a baby for experience. I can solo most and 2-man all, and the exp is dismal so a bit pointless to worry about using a baby. And I'm not using super rare or special pets, it's like moths and cheetah cubs. And then to find out the daily is to do all 10 again?! I was really hoping they would give me 2 to 4 to revisit every day. At least once I get the pandas I don't have to worry about doing them again, but yeah I'd really hoped for more of a challenge ... maybe not as painful as Payne but about that ;) ~ K

I've only had a chance to try one after I did the new dailies. I killed the turtle twice, fairly easily, but I got no quest credit. I was in a party (not a raid), for what it's worth. I opened a ticket. Anyone else had this experience?

Indeed. Stupdly easy and lame XP for the carry one. Only good thing is I got lots of lesser charms, even 6 from one single battle.

Hope they at least fix the xp accordly.

Am I the only one getting stomped by Gorespine? The rest of them I could easily 2 man but this guy is just chewing through all of my pets in 2-3 hits with me barely making a dent in his health.

yeah i cannot believe the daily you unlock is to fight all 10 AGAIN..that's just too much flying around for one daily.

And the amount of xp you get is a joke if you bring an under 25 pet. I used a new rare elder python i got on the cricket and he got all of 246 xp WITH the safari hat bonus..he got 10 times that from the daily master in heartland.

2 or 3 of them hit quite hard, but they are nothing compared to the Spirit tamer battles. The most difficult part of the beast of fable pets is traveling to each one.

Anyone having an issue with the daily not giving credit for battles? I have fought about 5 of them for the daily but only got credit for one. I actually didn't pay attention until the 5th battle that I wasn't getting credit so wasted time flying around battling.

Per my post above, I had the same issue. Opened a ticket, no response yet. Oddly, next time I was at shrine, the questgiver had the same quest for me again. I have the quest (non-daily) twice and can't abandon either of them. These account-wide quests and achieves have been buggy since launch.

I hadn't gotten credit for the turtle. Logged off and back on, and it was counted.

When I solo'd no-no with a jade owl, I laughed. It's a pain with all the traveling especially since the daily has you do them all again instead of like 2 or 4. Could have had better implementation.

Yeah, there's absolutely no challenge in these and the reward feels minimal for the time investment required. Can't wait to have all my pandas so I can never do these again.

you can currently fight them as many times in a row as you want. Perhaps that is why their xp is so low...

After the first couple I didn't even bother changing up the comp I was using...
Thundering Serpent Hatchling - Lightning Storm
Level 23 Firefly - DoTs
Jade Oozeling - DoTs and a couple lifesteals

chewed through their health pretty easily.

Good, I'm not the only one. Blew through the quest in about an hr and felt somewhat let down. The spirit tamers and Payne are more difficult than these guys. :(

I had trouble with Dos-Ryas and the Gorefiend guy.
Nitun is being a little mo-fo >.> I can't seem to beat this f-face son of a woman with no virtue

That Nitun is the New Payne fight in this expansion. Maybe you just got super lucky with killing it, or do share your pet roster for killing it.
It seems to take less damage, dodge my attacks, and heal itsself each time it kills my pets.

my team is Cat, Tiny Harvester and Spiny Lizard. (currently) trying to kill the F-face.
I also tried Gyphon Hatchling from Twilight Highlands, Brillient Kalri, andCrow
I brought up Darkness ad used nocturnal strike (annoyingly enough he dodges the strike)
I also tried that gyphon, Crow and Anubsith. The Gyphon i called Baldy so i always refer to it as Baldy lol.

Blasted through all. Easy win each time. Got problem with getting credit for Ka'wi but after kicking his ass 3rd time in a row I've got it. But the daily quest - seariously? All 10 each day? Fuck :( That's a lot of flying to get Pandas :(

Not really if combine them to your tamer daily tour (assuming you do them of course).

I currently go this route which isn't probably even the most optimal one but it works good enough for me:
