Chaotic Dungeoning with Didos
09-19-2022, 11:33 AM
Character: Villaus Tal
Which Event: A Healer’s Expedition
Responsiveness: Impressive considering the many cause and effect variables which were set into play. 9/10
Balance: Not too easy not too hard, I had a lot of fun with the trap scenarios as well as the fights themselves! 9/10
Storytelling: As always, Didos has provided a fun story that has touched upon and expanded on some of the lore we’ve been provided. Didos going above and beyond on this end as per usual. 10/10
Fairness: Injury wise I feel we received about what was expected, provided we came heavily prepared with medics and elixirs on hand. Reward wise..? I’ll get into this in detail in the next bit. 7/10
Overall:
Didos has worked very hard for a long time to provide this group with a lore heavy, intense and fun time. I enjoyed every bit of the event, as much as one can enjoy critical thinking for extended periods of time. That being said, this event took a total of 10 hours and was a High Chance of Death event in which the rewards were all very lackluster. To no fault of Didos, but to the approval team instead. For 10 hours of my time and for risking the life of my character i’ve spent months on on top of weeks of preparing for this event I was given a Shield slot item for +1 agi. Yes, +1 agi was what the team felt was an ideal trade off for the 10 hours I spent playing this game and the weeks we spent preparing, the resources we spent along the way and the permanent stat loss as a result. When mentioned that it seemed like an overlook on their end I was told essentially to enjoy it or they would simply take the 1 agi and smack my wrist for not just appreciating whatever I was given.
I am highly upset by the way it was approached and while I enjoy an event and the lore that comes with it, I didn’t sacrifice so much of my time to not be rewarded, especially when I can see what’s being rewarded in the next dungeon over are rewards 3x as valuable and stat heavy than what our group received despite the same level of risk being involved.
In no way is this a reflection of Didos’ work, he killed it on his end, but if the staff team involved in approving rewards for these events doesn’t look into finding a more consistent rewarding method then I will never participate in one of these again, nor would I recommend a new player do so.
