Insight into the next fix

Quote:
I am getting 15-20k xp per quest. I just did Ghost of a Chance and received 15K. Had I solved the trap instead of using the key it would have been over 35K. This is more like what the xp is for Epic Normal or Hard not heroic level.

I really do not mind extra xp, I do not believe in cheating either.


Omg.  Where do they find these people?

Excerpt from next patch notes:
Our data shows that the XP from the 3BC quests was overperforming, so they have been adjusted to make them less compelling and less enjoyable to run.  They now match the rest of the content.

Goddamn, FranOhmsford is just an OCD crappy player.

Quote:
I prefer to skip Carnival {Can run it on Epic} and Lair of Summoning {This is NOT a Lvl 5 quest!} myself. {Possibly also Chamber of Insanity and Delera's Pt 1.}.

But you're right - There's now so much XP in Lvl 5 quests that even on a 3rd Life+ I'm hard capped 8 before I get to Carnival!

This could have something to do with me capping every slayer too {Korthos, Cerulea, Waterworks, Tangleroot and 3BC!}.


He skips Lair of Summoning because it is too hard?!?!?  That's a 3 minute quest.

And I can't imagine the drudgery of maxing out all those lower level explorer areas.

Meh - I never maxed out any slayer area ever, or even came close, but if that's how someone likes to play, then whatever.  Far be it from me to tell someone how to have fun.

Go ahead and laugh if you want but frankly I find an unkillable {for a number of Lvl 7 character builds} boss to be a d@mn good reason to skip a quest!

Obviously if I bother to get a group together for Lvl 5 F2P Quests it usually gets done at that level.
And I'll Solo it on E-BB on some characters too.

But it's frankly last on my list of Lvl 5 Quests to be run Depths, STK pt 3, Tangleroot Lvl 5s +Completion of the Slayer, Necro 1 and 3BC get done first and I'm usually close to Hard Capped 8 after them anyway!
At this point if I can still get XP I'll run Archer Pt and Chamber of Insanity before taking 8 and moving on to Bloody Crypt.


As for Slayers - I like them - Sue me!

OCD? You're most likely right.

But crappy? Maybe compared to you I am but we can't all be top of the tree now can we!

I wouldn't go as far as to say "frequent".

I pop in now and again to see how y'all are doing but frankly the Vault's getting a bit lacklustre these days.

Heck I get more annoyed with some people on the main forums than with you lot!


P.S. Nice to see I've got a cheap+nasty nickname finally. What took you so long...it's only been like 4 years!

I like slayers too, so it's hard to fault somebody for that, but those low ones?  Seems like a waste of time with so many real quests.

Welcome. Now that your'e here, I just have one question: Are you, by chance, Sailor Moon?

I ask because of your penchant for endless anime apostrophes.

I've never had a problem killing that elemental.  Maybe you don't kill the fire mephits that likely heal it.  or like someone else said you are fighting it on the fire jets.

It's just a fire elemental.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

No Shit Sherlock!

It's not easy to explain when people only see the worst possible reason and won't accept any other to be valid you know.
But I'll give it one more try anyway:

I know perfectly well HOW to kill said Fire Ele - I've run said quest at least once on over 50 Characters! {And a good half of those have been E-BB runs!}.

But when I'm on a 1st Life Lvl 7 Fire Sorc or 1st Life Lvl 5 Rogue/2 Fighter wielding a Quarterstaff that's probably close to broken already and said Fire Ele has dr/- well I'm not going to bother wasting time at the AH trying to find a Decent Beater OR skip taking Firewall in favour of Acid Rain OR take 30 mins looking for a group for said ONE SINGLE Quest!

No - I'm just gonna skip it as it's worth maybe 4k xp even with BB and Favour run it later!


The reasons why I say it's not a Lvl 5 quest are:
1) It's at least equal in Challenge factor to Forgotten Caverns or Haunted Halls {Both of which are Base Lvl 6!} and along with Chamber of Insanity should be pushed up to Lvl 6  so as to streamline getting groups while levelling for newbies.
and
2) It's a relic of the P2P original DDO that's heavily aimed at a Full Group {Soloing is most certainly possible even for the likes of me EVEN AT BB LVL! But it's still a group oriented quest!}.


There are so many Lvl 5 quests that even on a 3rd Life + Character skipping Carnival completely there's a good chance I'll be Hard Capped 8 Before finishing them!
So it's a choice of which one to leave for last - Lair of Summoning/Chamber of Insanity and Mystery of Delera's are 90% of the time going to be left for last by me {and skipped till later if I won't be able to get XP from them through being Hard Capped!}.

Just for future reference bro, a little food for thought. I am not arguing with you, "not fun" is always the best reason I have ever had to not run a quest.
