Quest tomorrow at 18 GMT

[tehsquish]

Seems like quests still need a bit work, so that they become actualy fun and rewarding. Perhaps next time then.

I feel like they tend to usually run a little long for the reward - but I'd imagine its awfully hard to set up a quest when you have no idea how many people might show up.

Maybe GM's could plan for slightly shorter quests and have some backup mobs as a contingency plan or something? Just spitballin'.

I had a pretty good time, so cheers for that!

(Although, if I can suggest one tweak: the SomethingSomething Keeper's paralyze should be nerfed a bit).

First of all, sorry for the chaos and poor planning guys. I was talking to Kenyon yesterday and we had a couple ideas for some custom mobs and decided to go for an impromptu quest. Sadly, I only had 5 hours today to script the mobs and plan the quest. I was done scripting 30 minutes before starting the quest, so the planning part went pretty haywire.

And I'm super rusty. It's been like 1½ years since I've last held a quest I think.

I didn't have time to make them no-looters, or spawn proper camps. I just sort of threw everything I had at ya as we went and made the rest up I got around 50% of them to be no-looters I think.

Anywho.. Thanks to those that showed up! I hope you had a little fun with the custom graphics and mechanics at least. I'll reveal a couple secrets:
- The juggernauts were super succeptible to magic, but had high HP and AR
- The Soul Devourers were easy to take down with melee, but had high resist and AR, and they gave an int curse (a gmummy curse for int)
- The final boss "The Affliction" copied himself, and the copies copied themselves, but they could all be dispelled in one go with a mass dispell. At one point you were fighting 7-8 bosses at the same time (and this guy is worse than a Balron).

And thanks to Kenyon for taking the IG charge and pretty much running the show.

It'll be better next time I hope.

I disagree it was worse than a Balron. Me and Ivan were sitting there pinking it down past 50% the first time before you dragged mobs into us!

The quest was enjoyable the mobs were quite interesting to fight... except for the beginning where I was being rez killed by enemys haha.

[Jyrgen]

Are you going to use those mobs somewhere else also, i.e for permanent spawn somewhere?

Yeah you archers were giving me a hard time. I had to try and put a little pressure on you.

That last lightning storm was a big fuckup though.. You almost had it, and I figured "better crank up the suspense in the last seconds" and then every single one of you just died. Oops

Whell... You never know ^^

[aldath c'om]

you already revealed that at the end of quest

[Kenyon Ahearn]

Thanks guys for turning up!

Last minute fun, throughout the quest we were discussing how best reward players because it was a three hour quest, initially we were not allowing the mobs to have loot, then we soon realised it was necessary!

Yeah... My loot!
