What is worse than a long series of tunnels?

Post by MageTankTech »

How about a long series of pointless tunnels with NOTHING IN THEM? No enemies, no furniture, just a bunch of winding tunnels which all look exactly alike. I spent about 15 minutes walking through them and because of that wasted time my rogue ally had to leave. After finally getting past them I came upon a locked gate which I then spent 10 minutes trying to bash because while I would rather have just left the dungeon and abandoned the writ I knew it would involve a very long and boring walk back.

This was not fun, interesting or challenging, it was just boring. If I die to the boss I will be sure to abandon the writ and never go back on any character again. I say if because I am typing this out while my character is bashing the gate. Fortunately they seem to have finished now so I can carry on.

Please, if you feel the need to put padding in dungeons, at least fill it with SOMETHING aside from boring empty tunnels, that is quite literally the worst thing you could make a player put up with.

Note, I did not bother naming the dungeon because this opinion holds for ALL dungeons with this issue. Though for those who are curious it is the Caverns found in the Weald near Skal. The writ has me killing the troglodytes.

Name the dungeon.

Also, your communication style and general kindness towards people who spent their time making a dungeon you can play in is really commendable. I'd say that you should apply to some kind of a professional communicator school, or the UN or some kind of governmental organization dedicated to spreading peace through negotiations. Kudos.

Always so wonderful having ones role in life being judged and decided based on a single piece of information shared with the world. Gives me so much hope for humanity both in regards to their foresight and modesty.

Seriously though, what do you think the term "Feedback" means? I don't mean to be rude but it might serve you to educate yourself a bit before you begin your crusade for all that is good and just. Meanwhile I will enjoy spending 5 minutes bashing this Phylactory after I spent 10 minutes bashing the gate, after I spent 15 minutes roaming around boring tunnels with nothing in them.

I have a right to have an "OPINION" and when developers deign to create a place where "OPINIONS" can be shared in the form of feedback to their created content I have a right to share that "OPINION" in said forum.

Have a nice day.

Feedback = Brainstorming of improvements with community members, or a review of current systems, such as a review of your experience with the writ system, or adventuring through a specific dungeon.
For those who are confused here is a friendly little reminder of what one of the DMs classify Feedback as.

Nah man, he’s right. This is entirely worked on by volunteers and your ranting attitude is totally inappropriate.

No one is attacking your right to have an opinion, just your manners.

Just going to lock this before it gets more hostile with one another.

Feedback is welcome; it just needs to be done so appropriately and with actual feedback. Dungeons are never designed without spawns. But we will review the one mentioned to ensure its spawns are not spawning in lower numbers than intended.
