On The Wings of Morpheus
NW-DL3SHTOBC

After a long grueling day of questing and fighting, what do adventurers do to relax? Well, they get another quest, of course! And Guard Frinko is the man with the quest! At least until today! It seems that Sergeant Knox has been keeping tabs on how frequently you throw yourself into danger, and has ordered you to take some well deserved R&R! I suppose Neverwinter will survive another day if you let yourself decompress.

Of course, things never seem to go exactly as planned.

Details
On The Wings of Morpheus has been in development for about a month, but I just haven't had the time to finish it until today. It's a sort of mindtrip, and may be difficult for some to follow plot-wise. Not all the objectives are immediately made clear, and sometimes require a bit of a leap of logic to complete.

(Oh, also, there is a 2000 ZEN contest involved)
To encourage people to play the quest thoroughly and get reviews about what people do and do not like with the quest, I've hidden an easter egg somewhere in the quest. If you find it, it will tell you what to do in order to enter the drawing!

Mirror, mirror, on the wall~



Did I rearrange my furniture while I was out?


I don't recall buying 20 of the same portrait...


Wait! Don't I recognize her?

This is the fellow you're looking for for the contest, by the way. Just in case you find someone else.



The contest will run from now (July 17th, 2013) until one month from today (August 17th, 2013). Submissions will be accepted until August 17th, 2013 11:59:59 PM Eastern time. Be sure to follow the instructions given in the quest, or you will not be successfully entered!

Glad to do so, I'll try to get to it within a few days.

lolsorhand

Could trade with you as well , looking for more playthroughs on Part 3 in my campaign.

Glad to do so, it may take me a day or two though.

I'm a little worried that this quest might be a hair too short for the beloved 15 minute mark. I'll have to watch for a few play throughs and maybe add another scene that I cut ironically because I was worried it was getting too long.

mjstrolla

I give your test a run through or two, I do like the idea behind it. May be next week since I am going on vacation no internet for a couple of days.

saerrael

Will take a look-see, myself. And test for time, as that seems to be a worry.

I'd love for more plays on my quest (details in signature). Though I found a flaw or two I still need to attend to (bughunting is never over, nah? gah..).
Personally, I prefer any reviews to go through PM here on the forum due to spoiloring. If you do play and find something, kindly send me a PM so I may adjust without spoiling twists for my future players.

Thanks! Will do.

saerrael

Sent you a PM, myself. Loved the quest, Anan, and I'm pretty certain you won't have to worry about average time.
I didn't look for the easter egg, though.

I wonder if I made it too hard to find, actually. You really need to be looking for it to find it, it's nearly impossible to find accidentally. I ought to add a clue somewhere.

runebane

Didn't see the easter egg. I tend to miss stuff like that though. The quest was pretty good, kind of different.

Kind of a minor thing: The room where you first drop down into the red water wasn't completely covered with the water plane.

Perhaps, but the prize is large enough to inspire people to comb. I would not worry if I were you. Let them comb, I'd say.
I did not look for it due to studying different stuff, myself.

Thanks! I'll take a look at it.

Just pushed a Version that should correct all the reported bugs so far. Working on Review Trades now.

lolsorhand

Here have a bump, I'll play your quest tonight, (I'ts about 2 am here) Or tomorrow, but it's on top of the todo list

lolsorhand

So I came upon a really nasty thing, love the quest to this point. - Myself turned into a woman as intended but I can't finish the quest now, it doesn't trigger. So have to restart it I guess.

Edit:

Probobly because the quest npc is the man and not the woman, could be solved by a few different things though. (From you side. I can't get it to work now.)

Ah nevermind, quest was just confusing me lol - Since it said speak to this npc, and the marker was on the npc for me, so wasn't sure what I did wrong until i did check where the npc told me to. (But I didn't at first because the quest told me to speak with the npc lol)

---

Fun puzzles, love these bizzare foundries lol and so love the "story".
Though I disliked the basement, mostly because I could hardly see my fighting as I was cleaning it.
Really well done enviroments, and characters though the humour/seriousness, well not sure where to place it.

Noticed a few imps that had spawned inside the stone stairs thinge.

Other than that well, I really liked this quest. It was really fun, have five stars from me and a good luck for future endevours

****, thought I had fixed that. I can't seem to reproduce it, but you're not the first to mention it.

Thanks for your feedback!

If you're trying to reproduce it, may I suggest a push CC of some kind? I think that happened on my CW.

Guess I need to level my wizzy, only got a GWF and GF to test with.

lolsorhand

I played the quest with my GWF, thing is, they spawn inside there. So just try to move that mob away, or raise the Y. Or both, should work.

Weird. No one had reported that. I'll raise the Y a few feet.

delthanin

Good to see a new quest from you. I enjoyed your first one.

I'll give this a play this weekend.

Get rid of those stairs altogether imo. I've been replaying your quest because I still haven't found your easter egg, but I can't get past that part. The first time, a imp got stuck under the stairs, it would attack me but I couldn't attack it. The last time, I was at the end of the stairs, opposite end of the campfire, fighting the demon, and he does one of his big moves...and disappears. He didn't die, he just vanished, so I was stuck at 2/3 and couldn't finish. At that point I hit alt-f4.

How do you transfer Zen to another player?

EDIT: Never mind, I assume the store has a gift option when buying (you can tell I've never bought any ).

That might be my last recourse. I've tried several things to correct this issue.

You can't. What you can do, however, is transfer the items bought with Zen.

ananvilhurtz

karitr wrote: »

Unless it does, I've only bought Zen once to increase my character slots.

ananvilhurtz

I've made one last attempt at correcting this issue. If this doesn't work, I'll just remove the stairs.

I fell off the map and found your secret stash of beer!



You also have a mug floating in mid air in the bar.
