It's not just you... The aim is OFF by far!
I got so frustrated with this quest... clearly aiming at the bug and not hitting it... you can even see the projectile going passed the marker even though it's supposed to hit.

Kommentar von dval43

For me, playing as horde, the quest location was at /way 24 59. The path to the way down to the cliff edge starts from the main road at /way 30 62. Hope this helps!

Kommentar von Mypciscraze

Hi all

On that WQ You need to jump on Schleierflügelwache dragon and use skill 1 to slay Sfarm.

See My Video if need it - https://youtu.be/lt-MCOc5cf8

Hope that help You :).

The aim is off... like alooot...
but i find it easier to hit them when they are not close !
closer they get , harder to hit them.

Kommentar von ZeroEdgeir

I don't think the aim is entirely off... I think the projectile has an "activation" timer before it can collide, making it so most of the close-up shots do not hit at all.

Aim for the distant targets, and it seemed to hit reliably every time.

Kommentar von barnaclebob

I could not find this for the life of me. Follow the cliff edge on the very south and it will be free from the elite mobs.

Kommentar von Arashinoko

These missiles must be made in North Korea because I can't hit the broad side of a barn with them.

Kommentar von Fallenevincar

Aim straight on at their stingers.

Kommentar von Kopust

And thats how Ardenweald was overtaken by bugs :D

Kommentar von Tinkwikkit

I think this quest is bugged. I keep hitting them, no credit. Sometimes I mouse over them to aim and they fall without me even hitting them, but still no credit. And I know it's not someone else because I was the only one there. Not to mention hitting them at all is ridiculous. I aim where they're at, I miss. I try leading them and it still misses. Maybe it wouldn't be so frustrating if you didn't need to shoot down 45 of them.

Kommentar von deCyphar

In addition to the frustration of aiming, if anyone else is there, you'll start seeing bugs dropping off because they've killed them. Best to group up if you can.

Kommentar von asloversgo

Is no one going to mention the fact that these bugs are just flying straight into the mountain behind you?

Kommentar von urbais

Did this quest today and found that shooting just below the abdomen is the sweet spot.

Kommentar von cephadex

Like Beachhead, but worse! :D

Kommentar von Streeturchin

This doesn't seem to be phased per play like every other similar quest that came before it. Made this almost impossible to do, as everything was getting shot immediately by other players.

Kommentar von Bufe

exact location /way 25.0 60.9 of where the Veilwing Sentry
Aim a tiny bit ahead of them or just hit the packs. No problem with aim.

the locations for the sentry changes based on the WQ location, so go to the spot near the wq location. the sentry is there.

Kommentar von Sarthorius

Bugs fly 'too fast', try aiming those farther is painful.
Again, Blizz keeps this non-solo-phased, so when you hop in the 'vehicle', you get YOUR WAVE OF MOBS. Try doing these in high pop times and see bugs dropping left, right, above and down, even before your shots hit.
Speaking of 'vehicle', such a poor place for that dragon. Make it hover a bit higher, put it closer to the edge, so we can AIM properly.
Speking of Aiming, right now, there's a plant behind the veilwing, that if you had your camera's zoom maxed out, it will get in front if your screen (just like what happens on Devos' encounter in Spires of Ascencion). Plus, these 'shots' should EXPLODE on contact IMO, so you could hit larger, and tighter, groups. To hit mostly 1-2 at least the ammo should 'travel faster' then, since you try aiming 'ahead' of the travel route of the farther ones, and still miss (shot travel slow, bug flies fast).
I have a mindset that almost ALL WQs (with few exceptions) shouldn't take longer than 5-10 minutes to be done, by ANY KIND OF PLAYER/CLASS/SPEC. Well, this one even puts you to kill 40 mobs, it can take longer times depending on the above factors.

Bad game design (or testing IMO). Everything to 'slow' our gameplay, 'keep' us playing, but Blizz forgets that we're getting more and more expansion pilled up, and more and more stuff, IMO, a lot of players don't do due to these 'time wasted' on things that should be more towards trivial.

Kommentar von MaximusPM

Never thought I would miss Brückenkopf this much.

Kommentar von Hydra416

Are you supposed to be able to fly in this quest? It seems strange to sit on a creature flapping it's wings only to stay on the ground aiming up...

Kommentar von Dethblms

TIP: What ever is being highlighted by your target reticle when you press shoot will die regardless if it looks like the spell won't reach them when it gets there. Don't try and lead the targets at all, like you would expect to do. My fastest time for this quest was 17 seconds.

Kommentar von SuicideSyn

You have to Hold Down both mouse buttons to aim better and to get it done.

Kommentar von Takata

It's so fricken annoying to have to be doing this quest when others are doing it at the same time! effin Blizzard!

Kommentar von manolis09

I've found that shooting them when they're past you, and as you're facing the huge Tree, works better.

Kommentar von PaulGR

As of 04 Nov 2021 the quest is bugged.

You will be able to mount the Sentry, but the Missiles fired will land in front of you, as if an invisible barrier is blocking the shots.

With some luck and by spamming the move/missile you might be able to get the necessary 45 kills from mobs who fly in front of you, however, it will most probably be a huge waste of time.

EDIT: As some people pointed out, if you are in great need of doing the WQ, you can either manually kill the 45 mobs, or aim towards a solid texture (wall/tree) which will allow the shots to fly, thus killing the mobs passing between if timed right.

Kommentar von Daroyski

Going nuts at first.
Tried to follow but no luck at all.
Then......I aimed on the horizon and soon as I hit one.....I hold on on that spot and pressed 1 over and over again and finally I got it done easily.
Even when the mob is not right visible.
Give it a try.

Kommentar von Gullet

You have to turn it to the left or right and keep the target slightly lower then mid screen. You might have to play with it a bit until you see it fire correctly. Then you have to sit there and wait for ones to fly into range. The aiming reticule is relatively low so not that many fly through. I was able to get it done in ~5-6 mins though.

Kommentar von pokcmvmxckm

Looks like the WQ is bugged, if you fire a shot into the sky it detonates on top of you and does nothing, you have to aim it at an object in the background for the attack to work. This makes an already tedious quest far more frustrating.

Kommentar von bobsin2000

This is another frustrating World Quest the developers have put up. I have sworn off the Bastion Flapping quests once I got it done one time and now this World Quest. It is not worth the time and effort to sit and get frustrated if the result do not happen.

Kommentar von Ehayen

Still bugged.

Kommentar von Bainz

If you get the invisible wall glitch, aim in the same direction the bugs are flying (backwards to the normal direction). Aim at the top of the cliff and slowly test fire down it until it goes past the invisible wall and hits the cliff. If you do this on a side turret, the aoe will hit the ones flying by. It's slow, but you can complete it. I did mine by shooting where the bridge met the mountain on the west side.

Kommentar von Orchidswolf

Talk about a glitched quest. Dont bother doing it!

Kommentar von thebl4ckd0g

Quest is broken with the latest patch.

Kommentar von Beccstah

garbage WQ dont bother

Kommentar von thulsadoom

The quest is bugged, but you can complete it.

Jump on the dragon to the farthest left looking at the swarm. Aim straight ahead at the tree in front of you. Keep in the bounds of the tree trunk (left to right) and around the area of the glowing bulbs. Just shoot the bugs in that spawn in that area.

It takes no more than 5 mins.

Kommentar von Zlutty

Still bugged, but there is an even sweeter spot.

Use the same far left mount that was described below. But instead of aiming through the tree straight ahead, aim a bit above and to the left of the tree - towards the big tree in the distance.

That is through the marching line of the Rootstinger Swarmlings, so you will be able to complete the quest in around 1,5 minutes.

Kommentar von Mazurati

2021 Nov 24th - Still Bugged :(

Kommentar von musek

Please check attached screenshot. Pointing at the tree makes the work(choose distant one on the upper left based on your initial view) - you should get 45 kills in around 1 minute as there are plenty of bugs flying that way

Kommentar von Firelocked

Still bugged(that's a pun) I found if I rotate to the wide tree stump almost behind me on the left side, it went a LOT faster. They still have to be in front of the tree.

Kommentar von Plufproop

This quest is so broken it's not worth trying it. Just don't even bother.

Kommentar von Izetris

The best way to do this quest moves your shots behind the default position of drake ..that means rotating him to the direction where the enemy end fly and shooting only to places where are no trees.

Kommentar von SykoDK

This appears to be fixed, just did on 7 toons to test and didn't have a single issue

Kommentar von mvelasco

Quest still bugged but in a different way than mentioned.
Instead of phasing you out to kill the swarm, every player who is doing it at the same time can kill your swarm and you have to fight for it. Still last longer because other ppl can kill faster than you but doable.

Kommentar von Moritussum

Well, it seems most of the bugs logged below have been fixed. However, I have a little feedback on quality. If this was a real arcade game, the manufacturues would be broke, bankrupt, and out of buisiness. Besides spending a delightful 5 minutes staring up a dragons bum (with no visual details to find either funny or alluring, not even a trademark), the gun action is below shocking. As you press fire, did anyone notice that the dragon 'squats' lower, and so the aim line, and hit position ALSO drop? So where you aim is NOT where the shot goes? This, combined with really bad (~0.75sec) lag, means you dont have a hope in he ll of hitting what you aim at. These alone scream "Dont bother" to me. But then, lets add in the fact that when you aim forwards, the dragong does NOT go transparent, so seeing any of the targets comming is not possible. My fastest time yet is just under 2 minutes, only because I pick a point over the RHS stump point, and just sit there spam mashing button 1, and trying to have the patience of a saint. Next time, Im going to read the google news in a sub window, and just wait it out. Blizz - "epic fail". Do you understand that combination of english words?
