Any quest you can't zerg, or this case raid(s) off the top of my head.

I'm seeing a lot of quests you
(I) can solo or zerg(and usually do), boring. Not even on the list............

My list of Name Your Favourite DDO Raids(In no specific order).

1. Abbot(heroic). Need a 1/2 full raid group to complete without beating the Abbot down more than once or using cheese. It generally doesn't happen at level.

2. VON 5(heroic). Need at least 4 people to co-ordinate for completion(generally at level). VON 6 is part of this equation, still needing some teamwork to complete.

3 Tempest Spine(heroic). Old school raid that has been around forever. A full raid pug carrying the 2 or 3 guys who get lost, dying and retrieving stones(if they don't res and drop group) is always a sense of accomplishment at level.

4. Titan(pre raid). Need 3 unless I don't know better(not including pets). Takes time to do. The 2nd part takes co-ordination, always a chance to fail.

5. Shroud(heroic). Was endgame for so long during the vast and mysterious period of DDO. Loved doing multiple 10-15 minute runs on a weekend back in the day. Ingredient grindfests because there was nothing better to do with the more coming soon^tm period of DDO.


In the spirit of tabletop Dungeons and Dragons(TSR) I say this. I can't imagine 2 people(DM and 1 player) doing this for fun on a week end(Axer excluded of course).


Too bad Turdbine/WB let it come to this.

And CITW is shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Can't state this enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Welcome.

Id say...

von raid and von 2-4 are dope too
Abbot
Crucible
Big top
Deathwyrm
The vale quests
Wiz king
Shadow/bloody crypt
Inferno and the other necro 4s (the runes on fleshmaker make me mad as fuck trying to solo though)

The ones i fucking hate the most...

#1 by a long shot is.... New shroud. (Fucking portals... i wont run it unless im able to pike or on drugs)
Getting to and doing cannith raids
Titan raid/flagging quests for it
Doj
The last few updates  worth of quests at lvl on heroic
About all of the madness quests especially the one with the beds/bookshelves and the newest pack (missing and acute delerium are ok but thats about it)

Oh and I enjoy Crucible.

the mirror part is annoying as any part of other quest where two people are acting while rest of party is watching - yep, looking at u abbot (I don't know why despite the loot people like this raid - its just one long pike quest - and nope I m not piking there, usually being the roid guy)

Abbott sucks because it is a few people doing most of the work while the rest of the party chills in 'roids.

Titan sucks because it is a few people working the cannon and running crystals and the rest of the party hanging on ladders and trying to stay out of the way.

Reavers Fate sucks because it is standing around waiting for the reaver to hit the orbs.  Then standing around waiting to get fly.  Then standing around waiting for one person to do the puzzle.  Sure there are a few trash mobs to entertain you occasionally and they throw you to the ceiling every now and then, but there's no challenge or risk of failure to that trash.

Deathwyrm's mirrors do kinda fit this model, but if the person who is doing it knows them, it goes pretty quickly.  The end fight, at least, requires some party participation.  I like the end fight.  If they took it from 3 levels to 2 levels (or even one level) it would be a lot better.  Or if they dropped the shadow size puzzles. so you didn't have 6 total.  Just 3.  All that would help.  I like the unique mechanic of the end fight enough, though, that I can live with the puzzles.  The lag is the real killer for me on this raid.  That's what makes it a bottom 5 raid, imo.

Missed the point entirely.

One of my faves is Rainbow in the Dark, primarily because it's the only quest that FEELS like you're actually in a cave, and (at least the first time) you have no idea what's 20' ahead of you. Tor because you're actually killing Dragons in a Dungeon, and I like What goes Up too (riding a gigantic flying glacier? Sign me up.)

ToD was my favorite raid, just ahead of Heroic Shroud. Deathwyrm isn't bad, but I liked ToD's loot system better (at least in the context of the level cap each raid was geared for).

My brain doesn't work this way. I could do a least favorite list ... except I avoided them until I forgot they exist.

So now all I've got is: I hate the fuck out of anything with scorpions, bats, or phasing mobs.

Been a long time since I played that quest. Did they change it? Used to only need to keep 3 of the 4 alive.

WeHaveLived wrote on Feb 21^st, 2016 at 11:39pm:


That's been changed.  It's now, you can't lose more than 2.  Though it still reports that you can't lose any on the objectives list.

I can confirm two on VON6 works or at least did work. Haven't tried since the djinni.

I reserve that hate for Mark of Death.
I would rather sniff Cordovan's Corpulent Ballsack Smegma while giving Tolero an Alabama Hot Pocket than ever step foot in that pile of shit again.
