We're sorry the dial was too low when the desert epic launched.

But um... did you fall asleep and let one of your kids spin it round and round and round when you brought us epic vons and the 80 trap searches and the 90+ disable dc's?

I'd almost be okay with those... make people design rogues that can do epic traps at maybe just a small feat and ap cost...

but the trap reflex save DC's. Those are just WRONG. Lower them... I'd say by how much but noone ever saves in them. I even have a paly+rogue with crazy 40's saves... never saves. has the +5 item... the +1 item bump... gh... uncanny dodge... halfling save boost... hv boost... still always fails regardless of the dice roll.

NO ONE EVER RUNS EPIC VON5 OR EPIC CHAINS ANYMORE due to your DC dial. We ran it once to see how bad it was... repaired all our broken items from rezing through all the traps... and said nevermore.

You started too low - you then overcorrected high... find a middle ground please. Especially if you want to include epics in your new quests AND have traps in them (and have the content run).


P.S: Someone noted to me that they did it that way so improved evasion is useful. Said rogue then tried to disable the first von5 trap and SWISH SWISH 550 hp gone. He then swore a long time.

Oh yeah... my other epic rant.

Please put like 2 chests at the end of EADQ and like 5 at the end of EVon5. Just one is kind of... UnSatiSFYing (much like my caps usage there).

I didn't know you could run Von5 on EPIC.

The only thing these preposterously high trap DC's and search/disable checks do is make it so quests with these traps are not run. Return it to what it was with maybe +5 more on DC, search, and disable.
