Dodgeball by @jefferjefferson

Short code: NW-DR9U49EM6

Mission Type: Ranged combat with story elements.

Average Duration: 10-20 minutes.

Amount of Combat: Heavy

Starts At: Protector's Enclave, Marketplace Sewer Grate.

Mission Summary: A five round dodgeball tournament! Train with your legendary dodgeball coach and enter the arena and face off against 5 rounds of enemies, with each round consisting of two waves of opponents of increasing difficulty.

Author Tips/Hints: Just about all the enemies are ranged and the arena is set up to favor ranged fighters but melee can play just fine if you can jump over a few traps. I suggest at least two players but it's possible to solo if you don't go charging in.


Start by exploring the training grounds.




Check out the other recruits.

I just played and reviewed this quest. I found it quite fun. It was very challenging for me being a melee fighter and solo - I died twice, but that's what TRs do - right.

A couple suggestions:

When you map in it says "Press F to go to next map". It would be better saying "Press F to go to the dodgeball tournament" or something like that.

Also, it seemed a bit strange going into a sewer to get to the tournament.

As I was melee, I was fighting on their side. At one stage I jumped down the ladder on their side and came up under the boulder on my side - which wasn't a bad place to hide and build up HPs again. Then jumped down the ladder when I was ready to go again. You may want to remove the ladder from their side while a fight is on.


Would you please play and review my quest (details in my sig).

Cheers

Thanks for the review, and it took me an extra day from the downtime but I played and enjoyed the Blue Tower.

As for your suggestion of the ladders, I can't think of any way to easily fix this. The best way I could prevent this would be to cover both ladders with rocks, but in a group setting someone could easily get trapped inside one of them.

Otherwise I've changed the interact text, but I'm thinking of keeping the entrance the sewer just to give a little feeling of an underground tournament lol.
