Elshimo Lowlands Outpost Questions!!! Please help GM is usless!!!

I am a 24RDM and I delivered the supplies to the Elshimo Outpost and the guard thanked me for the supplies. But I cant warp to or from there. Is there a level requirement. The guard in North Sandoria says that the run is done, but the op warp NPC doesn't give me the Elshimo one as a option. I have asked the GM and was told to check with other players. I delivered the supplies again and noticed that this time I didn't get awarded conquest points even though the text said I did. Any ideas?

I did ask the GM about the conquest points not being rewarded. Apparently I needed to clarify that. If you are a GM and you are offended. I don't care! Also I already got the answer within the first 3 posts, the rest is completely useless. Just a bunch of people calling me a Bitch. Thank you by the way. You have to be good at something in life and I am fine with being a bitch, I suggest you just get over it.

Yeah, it has a level requirement. I forgot what it was. I think it was 40 back before they lowered it. I guess it's 30 now or something. Anyway, that seems like the reason why you can't warp there yet.

I have to admit, I wouldn't be a particularly helpful GM if you contacted me about this either. Definitely check out that link Itazura posted.

Thumbs down Re: Elshimo Lowlands Outpost Questions!!! Please help GM is usless!!!

The Useless GM part...refers to the conquest points. So I am guessing yeah you wouldn't be much help with that either would you? Thanks for the useless reply saying to read a previous reply. I hope you now feel complete.

The GM was useless because what you did was akin to calling 911 to ask about stadium tickets.

Your question was answered by Itazura, and Murphie merely confirmed the link indeed answered your question. No need to be hostile about it.

GMs are not there to be your information desk. They are there to deal with problems with other players, or problems with the game world itself. Not problems brought on by your lack of interest in finding an answer for yourself.

Ok Moron. You must be a GM, I can tell by your lack of information processing skills.

I wrote down the amout of conquest points I had before I delivered the Elshimo supplies. The guard said..."conquest points have been awarded" YET the balance remains the same. Unless you have some useful information about the problem then don't post. Find something better to do with your life. I called playonline about the problem and I was told a GM would be able to fix it. However, like you they were not helpful at all.

Re: Elshimo Lowlands Outpost Questions!!! Please help GM is usless!!!

Have you gotten CP for repeating a supply run within the same conquest week before? I don't know, because I've never paid attention to the CP reward, but my guess would be that you just don't get points for repeats (possibly within the same week, possibly at all), but they didn't bother to change the message the guard spits out.

Re: Elshimo Lowlands Outpost Questions!!! Please help GM is usless!!!

I did do them in the same week. I will have to try again further apart to see. I have never had a problem doing the runs to West Ronfare for conquest points.

Thank you for actually posting some information that makes sense.

Re: Elshimo Lowlands Outpost Questions!!! Please help GM is usless!!!

It takes time for the Conquest Points to show up. If you hand in the supplies and immediately check, you will not see the change. However, if you wait a few minutes, or zone, and then check, you will see that the Conquest Points were added.

This is the same with Allied Notes and Imperial Standing.

Re: Elshimo Lowlands Outpost Questions!!! Please help GM is usless!!!

The way you worded your question in your OP, you had a lot more to say about not getting the OP location as an option from the NPC. Your comment about not getting more conquest points was tacked on the end almost as an afterthought. So you can hardly blame people for focusing on your OP warp problems, when the bulk of your question is about that in the first place.

If you asked the GM that question in the same manner, then no doubt he or she might've made the same mistake. In any case, you need to calm down and stop going apeshit over some communication problems. When Murphie first responded to you it wasn't even in a hostile manner. Then you completely overreacted to it.

In any case, to answer your question, there might be a problem with conquest points updating on the screen. I seem to remember that things like that don't update right away. Did you try checking again later on and making sure that the totals were different? If there is any record of your problem going on with anyone else I'm sure I can find it.

EDIT: Jonastb beat me to it.

Ardelia: People would be more inclined to post "information that makes sense" if you stopped being so belligerent and if you read everyone's replies more carefully.

Murphie was not hostile to you, and he did post information, so your name-calling is uncalled for. Even if Murphie had flamed you, fighting fire with fire is not an acceptable forum policy; that just leads to flame wars.

EDIT: Ok, Nanatsu was trying to be helpful. Now you're just being a bitch.

Obviously there is no point in posting anything for the OP unless you're going to say something they want to hear.
