argh

im wrong shame on me

Free Runner · Oct 31, 2009, 07:52 PM // 19:52

Maybe they set it at a different time to stop it colliding with Mad Kings visits?

tONYY · Oct 31, 2009, 07:53 PM // 19:53

Will I be right after all?

I speculated that we'll see an update at the end of Halloween that adds a new permanent UW quest, as the last part of this quest chain. That would be so much better than a halloween quest we cant do again.

Shanaeri Rynale · Oct 31, 2009, 07:54 PM // 19:54

Adding a boss encounter is a huge undertaking for the live team, it would need artists, modellers, play testers etc etc to make sure the balance is right. The last thing we need is another Mallyx/doa fiasco.

Although i would love a new boss etc and I hope we get one now, i'm not holding my breath. The live team already did a whole load for this halloween so we may need to wait until wintersday for the resolution if at all.

Well, there better be a quest tomorrow...

Or else?

But yeah, another quest tomorrow would be nice. I've had my fill of repeating this one...

Im not underestimating the resources needed to do a new boss, but they're pretty much already in place. The boss would probably use an existing model (whether its Dhuum or not) that's simply reskinned, which is essentially a more complex version of texmodding.

As for play balance... the Test Krewe has already been informed and should be in place by now. Perfect use for them right there.

Wrong. We got notice that we were selected, and received our NDA to sign. That's been it so far, since Halloween has been keeping everyone busy.

Reflect · Oct 31, 2009, 08:29 PM // 20:29

so are we getting something more?
I mean i think there should be..but 1st and 2nd quest tell bout Dhuum comming back, and still he doesnt?
Or maybe add him later as a permanent UW-addition?

Anduin · Oct 31, 2009, 08:31 PM // 20:31

If this is indeed the last quest, I wish we were informed of that fact before hand. If I had have known that the last quest was repeatable, I wouldn't have wasted the time doing the quests on my other characters, nor the party points (as my main is going for that title, and needs every point). I also do not like that all of my characters have a title started that I never intended on giving them that they will never max, for essentially nothing. If there had have been another quest, or the last one wasn't repeatable, I wouldn't feel this way.

Ah well, life goes on. More than a little annoying though.

Buy an EL Transmo tonic= problem solved. No party pts gained and you get to do quest 1+2.

After completing the 1st quest, you have a net gain of 14 trans tonics (assuming you don't die) and after completing the 2nd, you have a net gain of 7 phantasmal, if you were going for the title and needed every point, it'd be foolish to not use two trans tonics to gain 14 more trans and 7 phan.

Shanaeri Rynale · Oct 31, 2009, 08:44 PM // 20:44

I wonder when UWSC (UnderWorld Skellie Clears) will spring up

God what a failure that would be, I don't see why we would though since Thorn is the one looking into Dhuums reappearance and all.

Or just save them, and farm raptors until my eyes bleed.

Not that hard I've done it on all 9 characters maybe died 4 times trick is go bone pits first once you get to the reaper wait for the skeletons to come up to where the reaper would be and than run past them makes for less on the way back

So why did we turn into Thorn's Agents? Just for the heck of it?

Black Metal · Oct 31, 2009, 11:50 PM // 23:50

yeah, Grenth has definitely taken a backseat in this Mad King vs. Dhuum episode. Which is cover for providing new one-time content and nerfing uwsc.

Like the MOX quest chain that the Live Team did?
