Talk:Extreme Challenge quest

From DDO wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

did a quick google search on this and all i could find was this ..

http://compendium.ddo.com/wiki/Hint#C

ye, and that page is horribly bugged... is there any way to determine if the dungeon is categorized under this or not? other than clicking the entrance in game? whats turbine's motivation of this message? how they determine a dungeon is extreme or not? any clue? --yoko5000 03:39, June 8, 2011 (EDT)

Pretty sure once they came up with this idea (around the same time they wrote out the party size recommendations that show in the box) they just went based on how many people whined about the quests on the forums.. And instead of nerfing some of them down (like STK..) They added this warning, so the crybabies would get the hint, that not all dungeons are for them.
I like the idea, but yea the implementation is crap since you cant see it unless you have hints on, and it only shows once. Theres no other way to find out, other then perhaps hacking the gamedata. Going from the list u linked, looks like we have several missing from the list..
They have put the flag on some dungeons that were added after they made it up, so those obviously arent based feedback.. Like SoS and Spies in the house. SoS is a rather challenging quest, given its purple named boss and time limit, so that make sense. I think all the rest of quests we got flagged were all done in 1 pass based on player feedback. Spies in the house being one of those heavy trap/jumping quests not everyones a fan of it makes sense too.
I want more quests like this.. Don't think they added any in quite a long time.. Nne of the U7/8/9/10 ones are, pretty sure since ive been keeping hints on for this reason alone lol. --Shade 04:37, June 8, 2011 (EDT)
Speaking of purple named not in raids. I think i'll make a category for them too, want to see them all on 1 page. --Shade 04:41, June 8, 2011 (EDT)
I actually turned my hints back on on all of my toons and reset them to find which ones are.. So far I've discovered that Devil's Assault is.. still looking for them -- ShoeMaker 06:46, June 8, 2011 (EDT)
