Really? You want me to go WHERE?

OK, well it has finally happened. I have gotten my first WTF quest. Now what so I mean by a WTF quest? Basically it is a quest that seems harmless at first but you find out real quick that the quest is near impossible for the level it is given. So what is this quest I am speaking of? Well it is a quest you get as soon as you hit level 26. You need to talk to three NPCs and then go to a designated location in order to complete it. I got a quest similar to this at level 17, but that one was relatively easy, so this one should be easy as well, right?

So I go to find the three NPCs, the first problem is the NPCs are in three completely different regions of the world. So I hop on my mount and start to seek them out. Well I quickly find out that not only are they in different regions of world, they are in regions where I could EASILY die within 15 seconds. At this point I am already mildly annoyed, but hey, I have a mount so I can outrun most of them before they do TOO much damage. So one mount token and 2 silver later I find the three NPCs and am ready to turn this quest in.

A look at the wiki says I need to turn it in at the Tomb of Death. Tomb of Death? That can't be good. Not only that I have no idea where it is at all. So off I go to hit Google to see if I can find out where it is. This is where the quest turns into a WTF quest. Apparently they expect a level 26 Character to go into a dungeon that is meant for level 35+ characters and talk to a tablet in order to turn it in. On top of that, unlike the level 17 quest where the object is right in the front of the dungeon, the thing I need to go to is all the way in the BACK of the dungeon. Really? You want me to go THERE? Oh WTF!!!

Well guess I have no choice, it is 10K XP for completion might as well get it done. So I head to the dungeon (Which ironically is in a beginning area, go figure,) and enter it. This is when I learn the hard way that you can't use mounts in instanced dungeons. At this point I am about to quit right on the spot, but I decide to try and press my luck anyway. For all I know I could find a path to stay out of aggro range of the mobs. Right as I start moving I am suddenly hit for 1.5K Damage. Now mind you I only have 4K HP so this one attack alone takes off a third of my HP. On top of that, mobs in instanced dungeons attack in trios, so I also take 600 HP damage AND get hit with Poison for 60HP every 4 seconds. Needless to say I am dead within 20 seconds.

Now my question is this, WHAT THE FUCK WERE THE DEVS THINKING??!! Maybe it is to force you to party with higher levels, maybe they are sick in the head. The world may never know.

  1. Lol. That might been hit in hard. I wonder if there will be similars later too.

    XD I enjoy the challenges and sometimes used to create the weakest chars in the games just for that reason but I think I don't need to hold back on this game.
