Thread: Thoughts on the Warren?

- reward, we seriously need some worthwhile reward for this quest and not badges ..... some trophy item at least ...... hat, robe or something ...... or worthwhile items that can be crafted into armor or weapons.
all in all a great quest and we sure need more of this type ! ..... its a lot of fun if u know the dungeon and help friends to finish their quest as well, so its not just a 1 time thing like all the other quests!
You have no idea how many people will go to hell and back, just to get a hat, robe, etc that makes them stand out from the crowd. Seriously. ![]()
When I complete a difficult quest, I want something I can show off, even if it's useless.
That said, I haven't been to the warren yet. Just wanted to chime in on rewards. ![]()
I'm adding a quote to support my last post:

First id like to say Hail <PIT> for being the first to get as far as we did.
next id like to say Hail ME for being the first to get there on the server. YAY ME.
finally. THE WARREN IS KICKASS.i tried t osolo it knowing idd get my arse beating. died in 5 mins...15mins l8r i was tehre a gain to last only another 10.
!5hrs l8r...hooked up with some ppl from my guild and easily spent a good 2hrs to get VERY close to the end...then i had to go =(...and i assume our reviver died as is the reason we went so far.
let me tell ppl that think that since combat and armor and so on are messed up its a reason to not go to the warren that could easily be the BIGGEST mistake u make. id rather say i amde it thru...or even tried.. with everything bugged than say i pussed out and waited for the bugs to get fixed..of course by the time most reas this the hotfix will be up. trust me...ull enjoy it even if u only last 5minutes....i know i did.
Hail PIT!!!
Guys people are saying that they have rods, data, evidence! and they are stuck and its broke.... you need a certain letter from a corpse!! which then will let you continue ![]()
It aint broken ![]()
Another Chilastra player here, 3 of us decided to hit the warren when we logged on, all shuttled in, the group leader popped a WP and the other 2 of us hit auto-follow. That was the last interaction I had with the game before arriving at the dungeon, we auto-ran in a direct line and did not have to engage or steer round a single creature. On arrival as stated the NPC had popped underground and we were going nowhere, at this point I logged in disgust, because withboth the new and existing systems bugged to hell it really wasn't an enjoyable night.
Was that the experience you wanted to deliver?

"And hopefully, it makes you happy to give it, because it will mean more content of this type!"
------------------------> I LOVE YOU for this sentence !
As I said in a new thread last night, it indeed is very cool.
It's definately the type of "content" we need.
There was a slight level of frustration a few times, but in a good way - and there were many, "Whoa!" moments, like once you get into the large ornate "hall" on one of the lower levels.
I'm going back today to try and finish it - will probably post some suggestions for future places like this again.
This is what a Theme Park should be like.

Sorry i have to do this because I just have to.
Who cares about new content when I can't use what was already there. Fix the problems and I will be glad to be buddy buddy with you and tell you honestly what I think of things. But right now I could give a flying <you know what> about your Warren. Content is important but making the game playable is a much higher priority. I think this was proved in the polls on these boards your team has started posting.
So don't try to change the subject and fix the problems and then move on to the goodies.
Jeez!
Why do people always hiijack threads? There is a million other places to post about what's wrong with the game. This particular thread happens to be about feedback regarding the warrens. And don't tell me its because you think the devs will read this thread over any other, because quite apparently they read a lot of other threads. So please keep your comments on topic (the warrens). This comment is geared in general towards a myriad of people and not one specific person.
That being said I did the warrens tonight (or at least part of it) and I must say that it was great! I went with a group of people who were talking on TeamSpeak so I didn't really get to hear much of what was going on. This experience isn't one that you typically have in a MMORPG and I thought it was very fun and interesting. Maybe you can transform some of those boring caves into something more like this.
I only made it down so far before I died again and accidentally selected the nearest outpost instead of the one I was bound at. So I decided to take a break and give it a give go again tomorrow.
If I had any suggestions it would be to add music - the game could have really used some creepy music. And volumetric fog on the floor of some areas would have been cool, especially in the lower levels. I mean it is trying to be creepy! Oh and regarding some of the items being on corpses or on lockers - well, my group actually sat around for quite sometime because we were waiting for those objects to spawn. I'd change that somehow.
I "hi-jacked" this thread because there should be no time for anyone on the staff to be concerned about thing but getting the game functional again. A new dungeon (that prolly gives 1 copper unit as loot anyway) does little or nothing to fixes the games play ability and I think many will agree that that is much more important at this point. This post from Holo should have been posted after the aftermath of this colossal screw up they call a patch. Mine game and large portoin of the rest of the paying community game is unplayable. Do you understand unplayable. Some people couldn't even shuttle to this Warren if they wanted and so like I now will not be able to afford to shuttle to this Warren do lame screw ups. So i think if you take consentience you will see this post is very unappropiate for the situation.
Fix the problems and ask for my opinion on things.
