Title: Pillars and Disks
Post by: lovethesuit on July 09, 2009, 01:54:45 AM
In reference to the Puzzle quest, as I'm continue to complete it with larger numbers of discs, the prizes have actually been reducing in value. I got a potion and purple crystal at 6 disks, but today at 7 disks I got only the crystal. I'd like to suggest that the rewards be picked up a little to match the increase difficulty and time consumption.

Its random sometimes you get absolute crap sometimes you get amazing rewards. Same chance to get X reward for 4 disks as 10.

The entire thing, while tedious has no aspect of danger and rewards experience points. The randomness is nice! Makes you think twice about whether its worth the effort or not after a certain point.

Particularly considering the puzzle is not difficult so much as time  consuming once your mind can recognize the pattern and keep it in place!

Reward is completely random, and the puzzle amounts to a glorified delivery quest.

Howland stated that if you get to 40 rings, you get 40 levels.

The reward and how it is given will not be changing.

I wrote a program that does this in something like nine days. I might add that there is obvioulsy no delay between each move.
