[FIXED] [Quest] [Dread Wastes] The Poisoned Mind part 2

WoW Freakz quest link: https://www.wow-freakz.com/quest_helper.php?quest=31211&&name=the-poisoned-mind
Bug description: Vehicle works fine, but now there are other issues.

1. Only Ik'thik Warriors give credit for 200 Mantid Slain, and there are only 118 spawns, out of which only about 60 of them can be found in the area where the vehicle flies. There should be other NPCs that give credit such as Krik'thik Wingguard, Krik'thik Wingleader, Ik'thik Slayer (taken from wowhead URL).

2. There is only 1 NPC that gives quest credit for Kunchong Slain - Krik'thik Battletank and this is quite problematic as there's only 1 spawn (which is normal) and he's not affected by any of the vehicle's abilities. There should be other mobs that give credit: Ik'thik Kunchong and Dread Behemoth (taken from wowhead URL). Ik'thik Kunchongs don't take any damage from the vehicle, same as the Battletank.

3. You don't automatically leave the vehicle upon returning.

4. When you speak to the other NPC on the eastern side of the map (located at 28.95 42.37) he will start flying trough the textures.

5. Not sure if this is a bug, but the camera keeps trying to reset its position automatically (even if I have that option disabled), hence the sloppy aiming.

The daily version of this quest works alright, I have done some workarounds in order for the normal version to work as well.

1. Fixed, multiple creatures will count towards quest progress;
2. https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=63625&&name=krik-thik-battletank was added earlier today, I've just added another one. Credit + damage issue fixed;
3. Fixed, it despawns after 2 seconds or so;
4. I don't know what's up with the second location;
5. It does happen sometimes, I will have to manually redo the whole path in order to get rid of some of those moments. However, this does not represent a priority for now.

Doing this quest now like 4 times over and over again... Only the firts patch of mobs count as kills, with the rest of them it is like, the dmg on them is shown but not the kills; and the "ruff flyght" makes it almost imposible to hit anything. That is for the normal version of the quest not the daily one.

The creatures listed above count towards quest progress. Isn't that enough?

[zeFoXro]

not all swarmborn count...those from west
bladesworn dont count

[AlexstraszaAlla]

Done, https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=62563&&name=shek-zeer-bladesworn & https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=62582&&name=shek-zeer-swarmborn count towards quest progress. I guess that's enough. This is just the normal version of the quest, if you didn't manage to complete the quest from the first run, you can talk to the NPC for a second run, you don't have to complete it instantly.

[Dreadblade]

For the daily version of the quest - Dark Skies (also quite possible for the normal version as well since I've seen people complaining about it; I cannot test it since I already completed it)

A lot of the mobs that used to give credit towards Mantid slain and Kunchong slain no longer count. Apparently only the first 20-30 count, and then the rest don't. When you mouseover them, it says that they count towards completing the quest, but they don't give credit when killed.

From what I've seen:
https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=63613&&name=krik-thik-wingguard - only the first 20-30 count - Fixed
https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=63615&&name=krik-thik-wingleader - only the ones from the first groups count - Fixed
https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=65513&&name=dread-behemoth - only the first 1 or 2 of them count - Fixed
https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=63625&&name=krik-thik-battletank - doesn't count and doesn't get damaged - Only damage part fixed
https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=65513&&name=dread-behemoth - none of them count; some of them get damaged, some of them don't - Fixed
https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=64831&&name=ik-thik-swarmborn - none of them count - Fixed
https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=65584&&name=ik-thik-slayer - none of them count - Fixed
https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=65573&&name=ik-thik-warrior - none of them count - Fixed

EDIT: Most issues got fixed, the quest is easily doable in its current state.

https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=63625&&name=krik-thik-battletank does count Did you fixed-tagged those lines yourself or some other GM did?

Krik'thik Wingguard, Krik'thik Wingleader
Trebuie mai multe Spawns, facuti sa nu dea Xp, pentru a evita exploits.
Path de fly schimbat pentru npc.
Mob view distance schimbat (am inteles ca asta tine de shoker)

I did it myself. I went to test it again, even killed both spawns on foot:

So I thought that maybe it doesn't give credit on foot, but then I killed one of the Dread Kunchongs on foot and he gave credit:

Finally, I went to test killing them with the vehicle, still no credit:

You can't really see much from the screenshot, but that's the best I could take... anyway I checked them with NPC finder and they were dead.

I doubt they will change the view distance, it's most likely related to server optimization (lag, fps drops etc.)

[AlexstraszaAlla]

It works on the vehicle as well, I've just tried it, clear your cache and try again, please. Thank you!

Removed XP at kill for those 2 NPCs;
Fly path can be changed, but it's quite hard, not a priority right now;
Mob view distance can be changed (we can try another vehicle view), how is it supposed to be?

[Dreadblade]

Deleted cache and they still don't give credit for me. Anyway, it really isn't that much of a problem since there's plenty of other mobs that give credit, and I don't see other players complaining about it. I can post another video as proof, if you want.

L.E. The battletanks weren't grey for me.

[Drodu]

Today I tried to complete the quest, I only got credit for 2 mobs because the rest appeared with grey color.

I hate camera position on this quest keeps reset on the initial position..

[AlexstraszaAlla]

Should we make the vehicle player-controlled?
