All I have to say is that this is the worst gameplay I've experienced in BDO to date, usually there's a bit of polish on stuff. This is mediocre at best.

If a new player loaded up the game and tried this, they would shut it down and uninstall after the first 5 mins of rowing a boat while a cat meowed on auto loop. I can't believe actual content was delayed because of THIS! Disappointed.

They could definetly delay this content for 1 week more or even 2 weeks. Excluding them, nobody forced this quest to be delivered.

I found it so funny that the GMs posted a whole freaking article on work`a`rounds to issues this quest has. If this game was developed by some indie team, i would understand it... but considering PA is billion worth company, such things are just .... ouch.

I completed the quest and i have mixed feelings about it. The new features that it brings this Magnus hub are cool and players asked for something like this, but the quest left a soar taste....I spent more time searching on the internet about fixes/workarounds for all these issues, than the time spent to actually play the quest.

The reward is a bit too much. (Personal thought. Dont hate me). 
The PEN armor reward not only crashed the PEN armors marketplace and made the players that are enhancing for profit to curse their days.

A better reward, in my opinion, was either a full character "re-roll" (Weapons exchange coupons + Scroll of equillibrium), 1-2-3 billion silver reward as gold ingots or a special costume (similar to La Orzeca) that can be obtained only from this quest and on top of this costume a special title that can add some visual effects to your character (similar to the RBF titles visual effects).

I hope all this mess that happened with this Magnus release to be a lesson that PA learned and we will not face in the future.

Even if there were no bugs about it theres no creativity or fun to be found. Magnus is a huge letdown. It's uninspired and tedious.

I don't mind the Magnus as a whole but it's a bug feat and should have Been delayed again. This is unexceptable. I just went on new world as soon as I realized how bad it was. I will return when it's fixed.

the Devs should be EMBARRASED for realeasing such hap-hazard buggy content...  is there no Quality controls there at PA?  

Long story short, regarding QA and reliability only, I think it's their worst release ever.

Is this the beginning of the end of Black Dessert? Have the makers lost the plot?

I'm shocked that it was released in the state it was.

Do they not have pride in their work? Yes things come up with coding but that entire quest just was not finished nor was it tested.

And no one forced them to rush release it at this time, they could have delayed it further. Instead they released a page full of workarounds as if they knew the update was shit and buggy beforehand.

kind of a dumb question maybe. can somebody direct me to the page made by the devs of how to get around bugs in magnus. i cannot even get down the well. each time i jump in it kicks me to the top.

all i am really interested in is the linked inventories. although i want pen armor very much, maybe i think i agree with the poster who said this is too big a reward - maybe a cosmetic, permanent bonus to inventory of all characters in family, tier 5 pet, or something like that.

but thanks for any info if you can direct me to the bug workaround page

This is the workaround post. At the bottom it also includes a part about what to do when you keep continiously porting back out of the well:
