Quests: Feedback

[Sigurd]

Was thinking of doing a thread for devs (and players) to view on feedback of quests you think are 'off' in some way. I'd love a compliments one too let's see how many prob ones we get first and see if need 2 threads

Halgarad Diplomacy Quest (Horse):

The questline for Diplomacy was alot of work. Some of it quite hard. The horse part was ok until the run to 3 Rivers. I didn't find the west path and was lost near LN several times. Even dying once to many many lower level mobs in my rush to search out the mountains.

Eventually I found a way following the river and had to pass many 19th level mobs. I believe due to the time needed as well as the work on the diplo that perhaps this horse could be either the same speed as the purchased one (no effort for that horse b/c money is now VERY plentiful in area vs Beta) or at least more 'impressive' or give custom color choices etc...

I know the concept is that everyone must do the diplo newbie line if they will be diplos. Well, then how about making it a branch at level 40 to START a new line of similar hell...errr...difficuly leading to the horse and make the horse better? It was alot of work and more importantly time to get that beast. Plus a LONG travel.

Vulmane quest in caves. Lieutenants I think. It involved killing 3 named.

This is the first quest I have run into that involved random rare named spawns. The one starting with A wasn't too bad. The Sentry was pretty bad - but not horrible (it WAS excessive though - after many spawns 2 left party)

The Skulker was crazy. All the time I was doing the other 2 and the other named quest - same guys were waiting on Skulker. The let us join them and both left an hour later... In fact in the end it was just me and one other. I stayed cos I was masochisticly persistant. One of the guys who left helped someone earlier and saw 2 spawns in 4 pops. This one went instead for hours I was told and saw over one hour (90 mins?) wait myself.

I think it is fine to put the named on long or rare spawns b/c of the drops - but how about NON-dropping (or RARE to drop) named for this quest?

Maybe I am not thinking right and it should just be skipped but not like the reward is great - I am just anal about doing em all...
