Just who is in charge of this epic quest chain?

[Dalin]

Epic quest. Collect 24 stones from bosses in xDSM.. fair enough. Each boss guarantees a dropped stone.

Next stage.. collect something from icewatch and one from final boss of xROTF. Oh wait, the boss drop is random... (apparently it might be 1 drop per run.. but it didnt drop for anyone on first run)

W.T.F?

It's a T1 and you're forcing me to run it god ****ing knows how many times.. after I already ran a t2 6 times or some ****.

Feels like a really dirty way of making OP players run T1 just to keep the queues down.

Regardless of the drop mechanic.. why the hell am i being forced back into T1 dungeons after a grind of t2? who the hell thinks thats a worthwhile progression?

Its like they are actively seeking to piss people off. Not only do they make you do a tier 1 zone repeatedly when you are way overpowered, they make you do the most annoying of all the tier 1 experts. I mean wheres the challenge ? what is the point in this apart from artificially drawing out progression ? Gets your s**t together trion

[oldironballs]

Got a reply from a GM about this. So its not a guranteed drop and if it does drop a maximum of one person can acquire it per run... So you gotta do the zone with randoms that dont have the quest

Trion needs to go play Turbines Lord of the Rings Online.

Now Turbine could make a freaking epic quest.

This is just a crappy annoying quest.

I mean you would think a epic quest would be something that a character focuses on at the start...
But no most people dont even know about the damn thing until they actually see someone with the rewards.



What a fail epic chain... It needs to be completely re-done.

Hyperbole Ridden Internet Version: zOMG, this the like the worst quest ever. You can run the dungeon and NOT EVEN GET THE DROP. You could have to run it 50,000 times before it drops for you. The quest is so FAILS!!!! Rewrite it NOW!!!!! You all suck!!!!!1one!.

Reality Translation: There's this one facet of a quest chain the somewhat annoying. You are required to run a dungeon a couple of times to get the item you want. To Improve it I would suggest making the item a guaranteed drop, and/or allow it to be looted by anyone with the quest like most quest drop quests.


Both say the same thing, but send complete different messages. Please work on your constructive criticism rather than raging. People will like you more.

The Epic Quest is too hard.

Complaint w/o suggestion to correct = useless.

Please try again.

Why? Because we have to fix their game? We can't be unhappy with something unless we have the answer?!

Silly.

Complaining w/o offering a suggestion on what you feel would correct the issue is absolutely worthless and a waste of Trion's time to read. I'm sorry you feel otherwise.

Its not that, Wonk, people just sound childish when they just whine without suggestions.

You are free to act however you like, just know that some people will make observational judgements based on your actions.

It`s sad at times to see the whinny state of gamers today .

There`s no way they`d have completed a old school EQ 1 class epic quest , epic quest here is trival at best and still they complain it`s too hard ! lol .

I've yet to hear anybody call it difficult.

The comments here are all on how obtuse the quest is, and that in order to progress forward you have to backpedal to earlier content which they have no business running. =/

I agree 100% lotros epic quest was trully epic and cinematic.Excellent for an mmo.Really bad that the game had no pvp rather than a stupid pvm(player vs monster) thing.But to the point.It really doesn't make any sense.... Why do i have to run DM 5 times?What is the epic meaning of this?And that stupid initiatio rod from the akala deserts in shimmersand???? i was grinding 3 hours to get it.I also opened a ticket telling them this thing and they replyed that they don't give faqs and walkthroughs.WTF?!?!?!!?

This is true, the content of the Epic Quest chain is anything but difficult. The hardest stuff usually just requires you to actually find someone to help instead of soloing it all (save for the instances, of course). It doesn't feel epic, it just feels gruelling.

Now, I will say that it's not a "backpedal to early content which they have no business running". You unlock the quests as you get to the level to do them. The only real problem is that most people don't find out about the quest chain until they hit 50, in which case that's a lot of quests to do in the lower zones. However, you don't hear people complain about that, you hear them complain about having to run a T1 when they're regularly running T2s. Perhaps it's just me, but from my perspective that's just funny.

I have no problems going back to T1s to do these quests. Yeah, some of the quests themselves are ridiculously annoying but having to go back isn't a problem. I'm doing quests I've 'out leveled', so I just expect it. Maybe it's just a perspective thing.

As to suggestions to make the arc better: I don't know, really. The storyline is solid and these are the only quests in the entire game you actually have to think about to complete. Mostly because there's no quest markers. All I can really suggest is that they go over the arc with a fine tooth comb and fix things. If a boss or a mob drops a quest item, the quest item should be lootable by everyone in the group with the quest, no question. If a world mob is needed for a quest then whoever helps with the kill should get credit.

Personal suggestion: Do the last quests really have to be for the final bosses in a raid? I just say that because I'm currently on a small RP server and no one on my side has even gotten Hylas down yet. Even when they do I don't see myself getting a slot in their raid as I'm not in their hardcore guild. And even if I did get a slot in their guild and downed Greenscale, only one Heart drops per kill. That's stupid right there. But, then again this is an 'epic' quest line so it makes sense it ends at the last boss in a raid. I'd just like it if I had an actual chance at completing it.
