Trading reviews

meysa

Looking to trade reviews please. I would like feedback on what I've built as my first quest. There are a couple graphical issues (floati ng barricades) that I'm already working on fixing, but I'm mainly looking for feedback on dialogue, quest flow and various triggers I've placed on the map. I haven't completed my decoration plan for the interior of the keep yet, so I'd love some feedback on what you think would make it look cool as well.

The first half of your quest reminded me of when I used to play RL D&D. It was well done. The story was light (in a good way) and you used the dialog to paint a clear picture of the objectives. There were only a couple of small items (I am guilty of this) that could be tweaked.

1. It's a Gnoll story, and that's cool, but a few lackey Kobolds might add some flavor.
2. You did mention you are working on the decor but that would really polish this quest.

I had fun with it on a solo run with my (review toon) level 7 Rouge. 5/5 stars.

Meysa:

Very VERY enjoyable quest! Great combat, good use of the area map. Combat was tough but fair, and encouraged smart movement, planning, and logic. I'd lighten up on the 'phat lewt' type comments at the end :-)

oh.. and I wanted so VERY badly to slaughter the "you do all the dirty work; we'll wait here" guards... LOL!

My own quest is quite short, 7 to 10 mins. I think you'll like it. NW-DDSLDZCOB

Going to give this a whirl now. Mine is here but it's somewhat longer (45mins) so I won't be offended if you decide against running/reviewing it:

Quest Name: In search of Innocence by @revelationmd

Foundry code: NW-DL8DTYYPS.

Edit to say just finished playing it. Good fun quest! Took me a little longer that it should as my 2 year old woke up lol.

I ran and reviewed it. I will expand on my in game comment.

It was fun but seemed largely rushed. I really like the use of triggers, and as a 52 CW I can say the solo combat was challenging without being overbearing but I can see how some players might get overwhelmed with the spawning on kill that goes on.

I think you need to pick a theme for the overall dungeon, and build one room at a time with its own theme that plays into the larger theme. Like, I think there is potential in that one hallway with the archers and one barrel for you to setup more obstacles for the player to navigate to reach the archers, that might be cool.

Additionally in some cases for the decoration that is there, it isn't put in correctly. There are a lot of backwards fireplaces with fire in the middle of the room, vases that are floating 10 feet in the air.

Names on intractable objects have been left generic so I see a lot of sky pirate ballista 01. Outside the dungeon, there are a lot of decals that are not aligned with the hills that they are put on. It would probably be better to use something in place of a decal or try to rotate it to fit better.

There were some comments that it felt grindy and I think that has to do with the lack of immersion for some people, and the reuse of one encounter type. I would look into reskinning a bunch of different encounters that play into the theme of the dungeon. Diversify everything, even the decor and don't look at what the foundry tool gives you but look at what you could potential make from pieces of things and clip them together.

I made a dungeon crawl too, I offer it as a source of reference, I've been through this process and was critiqued by featured authors, Mage Masher is my end result. Hopefully you can get some ideas from it.

I really like dungeon crawls and I really want to see this one be expanded on. I think you have the start of something really cool. It is just a matter of being patient and putting in the time, it is important for the environment to tell a story with the dungeon crawl, because there is little story being told otherwise. I will rerun it when you feel it is complete.

meysa, I just played your quest. The first part is very nice, with the entrance to the dungeon and the siege weapons to burn. The rooms of the dungeon are very large, but as I have said in other topics, large spaces need many details to fill them imho. I would also decrease the number of encounters needed to unlock the quest's objective and maybe insert a portal, or a real exit to finish the adventure. 4 stars;)
