Adariel Bug? What Andariel Bug?

[Occhidiangela]

If you had checked, you would have found that all those blue items had double durability, indicative of a failed set item.  While it may not have looked like it, the drops were thus all rares or better.  The bug does exist, whether you believe it or not.
Er...

Ah.

What you're saying doesn't make any sense.  Bugs are, by their very nature, not supposed to happen, but happen anyways.  So if you're doing everything right but the wrong thing happens, then that is a bug.

Yes, or as some of us used to call them in 1.04 days, a "feature." :D

Some bugs are hard to circumvent and easy to exploit.  Other bugs are easy to circumvent and hard to exploit.  This doesn't change whether they're a bug or not.

Yes indeed, but it does relate to the accusations and assertions of cheating.

It's obvious that, since there is a quest drop and a non-quest drop set up for Andariel, she should drop the non-quest one if you aren't killing her for quest credit.  This isn't happening.  Clearly, then, this is a bug.

I am with you.

It's also irrelevant that you've been playing since release, since the Andariel bug was introduced in 1.10.  You're misunderstanding the bug/exploit.

Aha, now I see what the hulabaloo is about, that was unclear to me. Thank you so much for clearing that up: yet again.

If you join a game where the act boss has not been killed, but the person who started the game already completed that quest, then the quest cannot be completed, but the boss can still be killed.  And if you don't have the quest yet, you get the quest drop without getting quest credit.  That means it's repeatable

.

OK, I see the fine distinction. I also see where I was misunderstanding what the issue was at hand. Thanks, for the second time. :D
