Having completed both badges in the warren I found it redundant, same animals, yes there was an ATST and a few farmers or something or another,,couple of imp npc's. The idea of the warren is nice, but really confusing especially when in large groups (the elevators are a mess) cant tell who in your group has gone up or down. The halls are to narrow and not enough material. It is really easy to get seperated from your group. I have to mention the best type of Warren or Dungeon that I have seen is in DAOC I cant remember the name of it but besides the uber drops, sides fought for access to it, battles took place in it. People were forced to help each other. It was a blast and it is the one thing I miss from DAOC. It was near impossible to get to the other side without a large group, and the battles were huge. Creating something in this manner would be a great great idea. It would add immediate depth and add to the GCW Oh the name is darkness falls i believe. There was a lot of pride being able to control DF. It was also a fabulous place to get great battle xp. If it wasnt for DF leveling to level 50 would have been impossible. You dont necessarily have to have the uber drops, but completing different sections, or bonus FP's for killing players. All in all it would add a completly different idea to the GCW..I dont know how you could level it out or draw player attention to it without the uber loot, but hey your a smart one you can figure it out!

I like it, quite a bit. Hard to remember where am I when I'm in there or something. Maybe one of the corpse could have a "map" that set waypoints to important rooms...

The Warren was GREAT. This is one that SoE hit out of the park.



SWG needs more of these, and I don't mind badges as a reward. In fact, I am collecting them, and the issue of the Altruism badge prison spawning on Bria during an exhaustive 21 (and counting) day search leaves me wantig more (and much less RANDOM) of these dungeons/quests.



Keep it up.

The Warren rocks. Me and one other guy I meet in the bestine cantina last night decided to head over to dantooine to do the warren, the outside, inside and the story are great. We both love the thing except we did not complete the widow part because the widow was not there. and on out second try it's still not there, we can't wait for you to fix it so we can finish the quest. Both he and I are still waiting for the hermit quest to be fixed so we can do that one too. The hermit is not spawning on the eclipse server.

The warren was a very nice change ,, it was hard had to bring friends, I had an outstading timelooking in depth through each room and all the detail that went into it.


Good job.


Now if you all would replace the friggen at-st i just got then lost due to server crash,,,that would be nice since it took me 4 months to get cause of the racisim and bigotry that is show to wookiees and other non humans,,,wonder if theACLU knows bout this?, or george lucas (He is jewish you know?) pain in the butt trying to explain to my son over and over again that in real life racism is bad and not to hate someone just because they are mon calimari or zeabrack or black or white or .etc........just a thought........

all of that for a stinking badge???

that was insane...... you really need to address the loot problem. There is absolutely no reasonn to do this quest unless you need experience. If you have maxed out - dont bother. Its a big maze that'll take you hours to figure out and you wont get squat for it.

Ralph,


How about this?? instead of giving us Alliance members the badge "Warren: Iperial Hero and 500 imperial Faction points" how about giving us something we can use????


Why not drop a clue about an Alliance member who is giving the Alliance equivlent of that badge???

the warren was awesome... good combination of puzzle (however minimal)and combat,being a challenge for 2-3 well coordinated players or good fun for larger group.


went back there 3 times, hope there gonna be more dungoens like this 8)

Just wanted to drop in and say that I just now did the warren. It was excellent. I hope to see more of this type of content. Also, while the badges are neat, I feel that there should be a better reward for a large objective such as this. Perhaps something nice that can be displayed like the Polished Krayt Skull. That would be a great addition. But overall, great job.

I got my warren badges without fireing a single shot or using my pet to kill anything. When I wen't a few weeks ago, there were 3-5 groups and allot of soloersin the warrens.


IMHO it sucked. It wasn't fun at all.


It could have been a WOOT of a time,if it were an instanced dungeon where each group would have had there own occurence of the warrens. This way every group has to deal with every encounter.

The Warren was a lot of fun and the story very good but I would have liked to have the areas that needed access such as the pass keys turret sequence etc... not open or deactivate because onegroup 5 minutes ago did it and now my whole group can get to the lower levels with no difficulty. I tried the warren with characters on different servers andfinishedboth badges with one.I feltit was too easy to get in and DL the evidence and get both badges due to the fact that someonehad opened or deactivated areas ahead of me.This kind of content should be explored further and brought into the game.
