[REQ] For the love of DDO, please add a secret passage way to Devil Assoult

[drathdragon]

Devil assault : the perfect quest to pike

the perfect quest to take a nap, while someone is fighting inside

would be the bloody time to add a secret passage for whom entering late the quest is stuck outside ?

Heh heh. +1.

Or alternatively, have the door open in-between rounds.

[Saekee]

or no door—get rid of that first anteroom and just have the main battle room. With a gong to advance the waves.

XP opt: Bonus XP: Don’t ring gong and sit through long wait times like chumps have done for years because some devs thought this was a good quest design.

[droid327]

Yeah a gong is what this quest needs, and that obviates the need for a late entrance door

[Silverleafeon]

That quest is soooo old, one might break the game tinkering with it...

Remembers the day without walls, due to tinkering with a mushroom.

I think the reason its so long is because in theory the fight could take long enough that a new wave would appear before the current wave is destroyed.

The problem is since the quest was released and today, player characters have gotten about 8 billion times more powerful and a typical "wave" can be defeated in about 30 seconds.

Back in old epic before menace of the underdark that wait between spawns was a life saver. Rez everyone and set up CC. It WAS good design. It's just the game became super easy since.

Yeah that’s fine that’s how many years ago now time for an update

[C-Dog]

It's like a mini-raid, with a timed lockout. No traps, no tricks, pure DPS and survivability. Get an adequate party together before you run it. <shrug>

Yeah I agree with this, I like this idea. Unlock the door between rounds. Still would encourage people to run it together but late joiners could still hop in rather than pike.

It’s not like a mini raid there is no reason for the lockout

[capsela]

This isn't a new request it's one players have asked for for almost a decade now.

[macellomatik]

Yes please add a Gong to call in the waves, it will make this quest go from awful to top tier!

But then I won't feel obligated to pass on the tokens of the twelve to whoever is fighting inside.

Didn't they increase the wait times because some folks complained it was too difficult?

I remember those days. If the wizard died their disco ball disappeared and then everyone else started to drop.

I also remember the end fight in Lords of Dust being really challenging way back when. Now it's a breeze.

Don't even need to do that. Just make it a one way door like every boss fight has had in the past few years. Anyone can enter at any time after the fight has started.

[helpfulguy1234]

Right. It's a pike and pass quest. If I need 10 minutes to do something else and see one, I hop in, pike, do whatever I need to do, pass tokens.

That being said, a bell to summon waves would be real nice. Or even a "BRING IT *******!!" option to summon everything at once!
