The carnival narrator is the best so far, although I haven't listened to Red Fens.

You forgot,

Any dev that made this is probably in psychward working out his childish fears right now.  Cuz only someone fucked up in the head would make this shitty content and only someone worse would actually like it.

I don't mind the quests themselves as they give a story you can follow and not just mindless killing. If you could read, you might actually have seen a story line there.

The only problem has been the bugged Epic loot and the length of time it took for them to acknowledge it.


So, you like the red fens "must protect xxx and kill everything" quest more than any of those? Seriously?

Are you retarded?

If I wanted the opinion you are entitled to, I would of told you what it was.

The illusion spike traps saves are still a moronic concept. If anything it should be will ~OR~ reflex save. not just will alone.

The thought that a rogue/evasion type that would be fine evading in any regular trap now would suddenly freak out and consistently impale themselves because this one "might" be an illusion is ludicrous.

I mean seriously, does an evasion-type honestly go "oh noes! this might not be a real trap! I best then just throw myself onto it and see if I will save or not to find out".

If an evasion-type can pick their way though a normal trap without damage, why cannot they pick their way though an illusionary one with the same result?

Illusionary traps, an interesting idea, but just plain dumb-ass implementation.

This is FAIL unless you were 8 years old when you played PnP.

So.  You're a Phiarlan Rogue/Wizard/Spything with Evasion.  House Phiarlan says "Hey, make up some traps to guard the Chapterhouse.  Here's an obscene amount of money."

First thing said wizard thinks?  "Oh, 99.9% traps out there are easily bypassed by rogues.  I better think up something inventive, so they get killed, too."

Or do you question the feasibility of trapmakers changing tactics to respond to their traps constantly failing to keep intruders out?

I want to know what the hell is going on at your table that any quest in DDO, particularly the carnivals reminds you of it. Or you can get a free pass by changing the subject to boobies. Either/or is fine.

It was that you got to do more than just swing your axe or cast a firewall. Find and eliminate the threat to a noble, convince someone to do something (even if the giant was a little stupid). I just thought it was nice to do somehting that wasn't completly combat, something that you had to think about a little.

If my DM tried to run something like that it would have been considered very lame, but it is much closer to PnP then anything else I've played in DDO.

Maybe it's just my group of players, but in our PnP we might not even have combat every session. Hell we might go two or three even before we end up in combat. I just thought it was nice to do a little more than hit stuff.

Like I said, it's not good PnP in fact it would have been considered bad. It's just a little more like it, than say, killing kobalds for an hour.

Oh and   

I ran the quests with a buddy of mine who also DMs our PnP games and we both enjoyed the chain.  No, it's not optimal for loot and experience, but it was something out of the ordinary and we found it rather nice having a chain with many different aspects involved in the quests.  It wasn't about zerging thorugh it, it was about enjoying it.

Also, I found the hellhounds riding the flaming spheres fucking hilarious.

We found that, like Angel was saying, it had more of a PnP feel to it because it wasn't just about bopping enemies left and right.  That was what we enjoyed most about it.
