Sobbing Gobbo Quest

[scrappayeti]

I am all for having hard quests, but after running in fully buffed and having three player deaths before we even killed a single enemy mob makes me think this could do with an OOC message, or an IC hint that "this is a staggeringly hard quest, take at your own peril". We didn’t even have a bad run of crits or anything, the AB on the mobs is astronomical.

The party size was way too small is all.

That wasn't the problem. Many, if not most quests can be completed by four people. But the basic mobs there, the first two in the door, had literally double the AB of my level 7 character, the highest level you can do the quest at. Which is all fine and good, I am not saying it shouldn't be that way, but that does make it an exceptionally tough quest. I got a chorus of "Oh yeah dont do that quest" PMs from people on IrC, so its fine once you have OOC knowledge not to attempt the quest without a gun team. Just think it would be nice to let people who are trying it the first time know that its outside the normal diffiiculty range.

I have done this quest before: first time when it wasnt modified, and then several times after it was toned down. I think the quest is just fine as it is now. The mobs of the first part have high AB, but its nothing a decent front liner cant handle. And the second part is much easier now that level draining is gone.

It's a quest that requires a little more delicacy but it's definitely not undoably hard or even unrewarding. You probably just hit a spot of bad luck.

The first time I went in, we got crushed... again and again, but still pushed through. This was with primarily rogues and combat lacking sorcerers. I have found that subsequent times through have been much more successful and quite enjoyable.

I would not say that it is a challenge-less quest, but it is not one of the harder I have done.

I just did this quest today, and it has gone from, Challenging and rewarding, to hard and not rewarding, to exceptionally hard and not rewarding.

This is from both playing a PC with the needed efuss to a pc without the needed. This quest needs a rework in a positive direction other then making it harder, and harder while slaughtering the reward.
