New Quests are rock song rip offs?

[kingfisher]

looks like it to me, except for the coalescence chamber, not sure about that one.

[Heladron]

Hmmm, Maybe it's the long name of the band Coal Chamber.

DDO has been full of pop culture references, mentau the fleshmaker, asteroids, mastermind, the mod 6 raid has a gauntlet, pacman and frogger sections

[kingfisher]

the coalescence chamber =
let sleeping dust lie = let sleeping dogs lie (sheena easton)
rainbow in the dark = spirit in the dark (aretha franklin)
ritual sacrifice = thought this was an iron maiden song but i was wrong
running with the devils = running with the devil (van halen)

i checked sabbath too, no ritual sacrifice. oh well.

[BlueLightBandit]

Heck... I figured "thought this was an Iron Maiden Song, but I was wrong" WAS the name of the song.

And DDO is just about overflowing with pop culture references... I'm just guessing they're taking their cues from character names myself.

The House D "Depths" series quest givers are all Manchester United footballers names.

[DropList]

Rainbow in the Dark= DIO BABY!!!!

[GeneralDiomedes]

rainbow in the dark = spirit in the dark (aretha franklin)
ritual sacrifice = thought this was an iron maiden song but i was wrong

I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find a Death Metal band named Ritual Sacrifice.

Also, Rainbow In the Dark is Dio, not Aretha. One of the Devs (Eldorudo I think) have already confessed they are a Metal fan

Another reference .. Ghosts of Perdition = Opeth

[Kaboth]

Maybe its an anagram? Maybe its a reference to the group Coal and Evenescence? LOL could be nothing... /shrug

[Lorien_the_First_One]

Might as well be ripoffs, the quests themselves are openly stolen from video games.... (as was the Reaver Mastermind game of course)

[Cedrica-the-Bard]

Apparently the name of the big giant bank guard in Meridia is the same as the real-life last name of iconic wrestler Andre the Giant. Anyone remember him??? lol

Andre rene roussimoff


(met him once years ago....b4 he died obviously.... he was very kind and I was just a kid..... his 1 hand dwarfed both of mine. As a side note Hulk Hogan totally ignored me when I ask for an autograph....... I was back stage eating out of the same bowl of M&Ms that he was and he just ignored me.................. everyone else was really nice)

[ThrasherGT]

rainbow in the dark = spirit in the dark (aretha franklin)

"Rainbow in the dark" is a song from Ronnie James Dio (Dio Rocks Hard!!!!!)

Edit: here's the lyrics......

When there's lightning - it always bring me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I cry for magic - I feel it dancing in the light
But it was cold - I lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

Do your demons - do they ever let you go
When you've tried - do they hide -deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You're a picture - just an image caught in time
We're a lie - you and I
We're words without a rhyme

There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

When there's lightning - it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Feel the magic -feel it dancing in the air
But it's fear - and you'll hear
It calling you beware

There's no sign of the morning coming
There's no sight of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find a Death Metal band named Ritual Sacrifice.

There is a Death Metal band named Ritual Sacrifice I have them on my space page. Link

Um... have you even done the quests? They have nothing to do with other video games.

Or are you talking about the raid. Which has some homage to early arcade games, but sound like they could hardly be called "openly stolen."
