Title: This halloween quest is stupidly annoying.
Post by: NObama on October 30, 2009, 08:52:11 PM

I don't mind all the people I see running rails to colelct the damn crystals.  What I really mind is the absolutely numbing repetition the Devs coded this year.  50 crystals?  Seriously?

What a crock.

This is the first time I've really missed not being elite.

Making a simple script to use the moongrass is pretty easy, and I made a sub to recall to the hag and use the soul harvester.  I just couldnt figure out a way to detect those red sparkles, I just have 3 runes books of duns and recall around and end up with about 5-6 crystals during my monster form.  I did a gypsy today and it took me 48 crystals, I agree that pretty high.

i imagine the most difficult part would be the unreachable sparkles u need to collect.

I see the problem is that soon or later all the sparkles are going to end up un-reachable spots.. i count at 10least in one spot in desipe first level.

They are slowly growing in unreachability.  There are 4 in level 3 Destard, 2 in level 2, 1 in level one - which is a neat trick, given how open Destard level one is...

There are a foolishly large number of unreachables in Despise and Deceit.  You'd think they could make them all reset at server up.

Stupid lazy devs.  How hard would it have been to make them vulnerable to the server cleanup routines?

Or, even better, why not use the same random spawn code they use for locked trunks in the dungeon? Randomize the spawn locations and make them disappear and respawn every 10-20 minutes rather than leave them where they are.

Precisely.  As a whole, the concept is pretty good this year.  They really should have consulted me on the finer points of execution...
