By the time the world series game was over I was too drunk to participate. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Re: Kunark.

The order of the Kunark route was a little weird. The quest giver NPC was all the way in FoB and the main point of entry (and the hint about the NPC) was on the other side of Kunark in DL/KC.

This meant that those of us who were among the first to get to the Kunark leg of the quest, got to DL. Went in to KC. figured out that the giver NPC was probably closer to Kaesora/Kurns, evaced to EJ, got the quest, and then ported back to DL for the straight shot.

This wasn't a big deal of course, i don't mind back tracking. But on a quest where the route can be picked up anywhere along the line, it made it so that even though i'd gotten to Kunark 30-45 minutes before some folks, they were effectively in the same place as I was in the quest, because we both had to run to FM--FV--FoB. They were able to do this because they'd gotten spoilers on where Acolytes were and could plot the best route.

Doesn't really matter if only the first person to finish "wins", but it was kinda frustrating to do all of that running to discover I could have just sat in DL for 15 minutes and saved myself a half an hour.

Was still fun though.

I ended up running this on my 33 druid. The journey was fun and all, especially teaming up with some friends and whatnot, figuring out where to go next. But the reward... got some drake-hide leggings. I read up about previous GM events (and their rewards) on this server, so this was pretty disappointing to see all around...

Ported to surefall 4x. My laughter got deeper each time (I also threw a wrist pad across the room and nearly hit my cat). I was late for the turn in so i was already seeing hte rewards. Rolled the dice and got a fancy new polished bone bracelet. Super swag!

I loved every minute of guys. Keep it up!!

I spent three hours working with a group of friends and racing all over Norrath, collecting hilarious novelty items. Not only did I recieve a Golden Ear Stud, but I have been transformed into a spectre.

Worth it. Thanks to all the staff that put in the time.

The illusion at the end is a very cool reward imo, would have been neat to give that at the quest start with a longer timer so you run the quest as some char in costume. Only input I have would be much more puzzley, much longer in terms of solve time, perhaps with mirrored routes using different NPCs branching from first one or two stages to confuse those relying on shared information, tiered rewards based on level with a shared 'very rare' reward pool, use only existing NPCs to increase solve time. Overall a fun event, very fun to finally partake in one here, much appreciated.

i didnt get to swing my sword at anything!

If you're going to include that much running, pick smaller zones.

Over all it was an...event.

It seems like it was lacking in cohesion a fair bit.

I think it was also due to zone overpopulation? On live, some events were relegated to specific zones, but here, that could cause major zone issues/competition <?>. Especially with the large influx of max level players that suddenly popped up.

The quest objectives were spread out to several zones and the rewards were lackluster for the amount of travel involved. As a 30~ bard, I managed to make it to most of the Kunark zones in the quest line. However, even the Faydwer quests (all of which <?> had a chance to teleport you across the zone) took about an hour-on top of figuring out what was going on with specific encounters (never figured out what the encounter with the KC NPC involved, utilizing bard with invis/see invis *shrug*).

I wasn't able to see a lot of the end experiences that happened, but it seems like I didn't miss much in the way of item loot.

IMO I think the event would've worked better in the 4 Karana zones, with some expected crappy item loots like ring of shadows/or just low end Velious items for new players-with a super (super) rare chance for higher end items like silver chitin handwraps or something.

Also, something to set the mood (farms/scarecrows/pumpkins/undead). Although you guys nailed the trick or treating aspect.

There was really not a lot of lore involved, just a big glowing pointing figure to go to the next spot involved, which expedited the further quests in the line.

I probably sound like I'm complaining, but ANY event is better than nothing at all. I even dusted off old characters to try and experience everything. I actually had to sit and think about how to approach NPC's (because it wasn't already online in a database).

So, kudos for the experience, it def. makes me excited for future events.

honest feed back

1) benefited people who could gate at the turn in mobs in case they got ported.

2) benefited classes that could travel fast (bard, shaman, druid) or port around the world.

3) lowbies couldn't do many parts of the quest, like Kael part.

4) rewards were mediocre for the time and effort that was required.

5) it was fun, but maybe a final fight with a /random would be worth it.
