Raid Feedback: Caught in the Web

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find an authentic non-cursed 9th century Viking longship in good condition?

Oh, well there you go then! Sailors are ALWAYS cursing. No wonder!

[Xaxx]

So you guys made New and Improved Coyle version 2.0....

put it in a RAID.... the only raid in an EXPANSION....

and made the loot for the raid not dependent on the raid but dependent on the brain dead ai of NIC20.....

Wow and I thought some of the other ideas in this game had been bad on and off over the years... congrats you guys just topped all of em....

I mean I thought the lob raid was a change.. you know more *other games we shouldnt discuss here* style... but an ecort quest as the main raid with loot dependent on the npc.... wow thats something even ... those other guys... wouldnt do to their playerbase.... wow is all I can say for now.

You already checked Craigslist and E-Bay, right?

It's always nice to have another quest that I have no intention of ever running ever again.

That ship has sailed, came back, sailed again, got raided by pirates, became a pirate ship, got cursed to chase after the Flying Dutchman for three centuries, got exorcised to fight in the American Civil War (as part of the Union blockade), then got modernized to fight in both World Wars, participated in the D-Day landing and is a decommissioned museum/restaurant now in Key West, Florida.

Key West is 2 hours away by high speed ferry I will have her seaworthy by Friday

Weren't we told another one is coming after this one? Or am I misremembering what I read?

I my be wrong but remember guys there new content comming 2 months after the xpack so the way this raid is laid out may lead into the new stuff so give it a shot and see we're things are taken in August bc while it I an escort raid it's a tough one and one I find to be very interesting and has very good intentions behind it so I say good job on this one guys and again only time will tell to what is to come in August

[Matuse]

Another raid was indicated for Update 15.

[DemonStorm333]

That what I thought lol so there may still be a tie in somewhere to that one from this one

[Asmodeus451]

ok. i've been holding my tounge thusfar, but here it goes:

i've been too busy with IRL stuff to do much Lam play, and what i have done has all been low level Druid playtesting, but i've been following the forums and dev tracker daily, so i know one thing about this raid


(bolded, capitalized, and italisized for emphasis)


I WILL NEVER SET FOOT IN THIS RAID



seriously. i havent even been in it myself, and NEVER WILL, just because it is an escort quest.


oh, and tying loot to how well you babysit? just plain bad design, IMO

Sailors are ALWAYS cursing.

This reminds me of a sailor motto, after some googling i found an english version that's close enough to the french one i know :

If it's on the ground, pick it up.
If it moves, salute it.
If it doesn't move, paint it.

No time to curse between salutes and all that painting

The number of traps in this screenshot is epic, but unintentional. This is a bug.

If this is a 'no sh!t' moment if any I don't know what is.

I bet the axis of evil did their best and lost the war trying to sink it huh.

Is there a cap on the number of spell wards that can spawn at a given time? At a certain point they give birth to the lag monster.

[Aeolwind]

In case it hasn't been mentioned, the escort part of the raid could have played a role in why Displacement was changed to self only.

[EliahuTheMighty]

In case it hasn't been mentioned, the escort part of the raid could have played a role in why Displacement was changed to self only.

I seriously hope that's not the case. If it is, it would have made more sense to just code her to not have displace work on her. Similar to how the extractors in Kobold Island challenges are coded to not have certain buffs work on them.

Skuttle the ship, if the raid is really this bad kill it and start over.

[Galeria]

According to Cornell University, and the National Restaurant Association, 60% of restaurants fail within the first three years of operation. After five years, the number might be as high as 75%.

Turning that ship into a restaurant might be what scuttles it permanently...

Sink the ship. Start over.

The abbot raid was the last raid with this amount of bad PR early on. It wasted countless dev hours due to the badly thought out mechanics it employed. Sometimes an idea is so bad that it will require more work then doing everything over to make it work well. This is one of those cases.
