I found out why Thunderhead Keep got overran

I just found out last night that it's possible to walk through the gates in thunderhead keep to go outside before killing Dagnar so you can waste a few jades and make the mission easier.

Uh...

That kinda defeats the whole purpose of gates, doesn't it?

Boy Dwarven engineers are stupid.

Just proves human nature, find the exploit beat the system and then whine because the game is too easy. lol

most ppl complain about how hard that mission is, and when they find something that makes it easier, they complain cause that's not the purpose of it all ...

Not complaining. Unless you're so used to people complaining on these boards that you think everything is a complaint, in which you'd be nearly right, but sadly not in this case.

Would you like to spin the wheel again?

Gates may not work, however the devs have fixed the mission, you kill them. But they spawn back AS SOON as the the defence of the fort starts...

Thirsty River and Thunderhead Keep are my two favorite missions. The others I did with henchies, but, had to resort to *gasp* human help on TR and THK. Dunes of Despair had to be the worst and most boringist mission of the 3, I did it with henchies and couldn't believe how easy it was. It was pitiful for an ascension mission. All 3 should be simular to Thirsty River, more PRIESTS that rez the mobs hell yeah.

If you go out there and wander around you can find 3 cheasts which usually have a heapload of gold in them.
