A message to the Dev team

[reiromanni]

I have always had the feeling that whom ever makes the quests was a little off. Now I have proof! I just did "Redwillow's ruins" and to be honest someone must have been high as a kite I finished this long quest already but it's not over because i have to kill 15 giants too?! W T F?! adding to my oppinion that this game is no better then WoW. Wait, it's worse then WoW because atleast on WoW I can talk to an admin about this annoying things. But here there isn't anyone to talk to about the fact that there seems to have been no player testing on anything. This game just seems like it could do SO much more but fails to do anything more then copy the worst parts of the MMO world.

good job, **** on my childhood some more.

[Cedwin]

Really? I just ran through that quest by myself on Normal on a level 6 bard the other day and had no problems at all.

[Aerniel]

My level four pali had no problem.

Go back to WOW if you like to complain about a game that I love because people like me will just harass you

Later!

EDITED... too mean...

...but it's not over because i have to kill 15 giants too?! W T F?! ... Wait, it's worse then WoW because at least on WoW I can talk to an admin about this annoying things...

So you want the admin to kill the giants for you like in WoW? Such display of weakness, go back to your wow forums you blizzard paid troll.

Heh, that's how I felt my first time through Gianthold. Don't worry, once you learn the quests it becomes easier.

What exactly was bad with Redwillow? Redwillow is IMO one of the better quests in that level range. I think the Devs got it just right, but maybe you observed something iffy.

It is, however, a tough quest to solo for certain classes. I never could solo the final giant showdown on my original character, a level 8 finesse rogue; yet I easily breezed through the confrontation on my level 5 paladin. But rogues make poor soloists, so its not a "balance" issue on their part as much as it was a build design flaw on my part -- I just didn't have the DPS or gear to take them out fast enough.

Giants are suckers for will-save and reflex-save based CC, so Dance them or Web them to make it easier. Their to-hit is relatively low, so a decent AC will also protect you from constant knockdowns. Watch to see when they are going to stomp (stomp=knockdown attack) and hop back. Little things like that make it much easier.

Edit this please... too nice...

[Thriand]

yes could we please remove everything from redwillows and just make the only objective "collect 15 wolf pelts"

pretty weak april fool's joke, buddy. at least you tried to be funny, though. i'll give you props for that.

[badbob117]

I was freaked out the first time i ran that quest. I thought i was done and jumped through that ugly portal.... Giants. Tons of giants AHHHHHHH. Kill Giants. It was a friggen wicked surprise.

Who cares if the dev was high when they made that quest?. It rocked and was the first quest i ever ran with giants in it. Go kill 200 Kobolds if you do not like different things.. I would rather have a bit of spontaneousness then monotony.

You should appreciate the devs actually make levels like that. Their is some glory involved in a lot of missions. Sure it may take longer to get your precious xp but you can hold your head up high knowing you just slayed 15 Mad giants and saved the day. So few players actually care anymore. They just want to run things as fast as possible and power level up with minimal effort. Well to bad for you. Kill those giants and start liking it....

[GeneralDiomedes]

Since you referenced your childhood, I can only conclude you are ********.

[Impaqt]

SOme people just arent worth hitting the neg rep button for...

If you are an indeed an adult, which is highly doubtful, your childhood likely was ruined by something far more insidious then a video game.

That being said.....it's quite obvious this game is too intelligent for you. If you can't read the quest description, the dialogue that dig organizer tells you twice.....this game will never be for you.....Ever.....


**edited in** ah, I see your simple problem. The giant spawn after entering the gate wasn't the problem. It was ranging with +4 darkwood bow (no modifiers), a str of 15 and a con of 12. Yup.....It's the games problem
You fail....which is likely not a new experiance....by a long shot.....
