Challenge Rules = ???

So what is this?  Obviously got a bugged screen, but obviously there for something.  Is this that "similar to CC" system they mentioned a while back?  Anyone hear when it is supposed to roll out?

All I can see is DNT <something>

I know since the last update you get a bunch of them on an arti if you charge your arm cannon and look in the combat log. Quality QA of course.

Also, WTF does it say?

I thought I had resized it, but I guess not.


Edit, nope I did.  I'll do it even bigger.

And no, I'm not playing on a Gameboy (though I wish I could! lol).  42" 1080p ftw  Cool

From the State of the Game address back in March

Quote:
Many of you have heard me talking about a new kind of content coming to DDO. DDO’s new Challenge quests will make their formal debut later this year providing players with some unique new ways to play DDO. The Crystal Cove challenge from our 5th Birthday event is one example of a “challenge quest,” but we are working on some other types of challenges with very different types of game play as well. Challenge quests will all have some things in common: they can be completed in a fixed time window, they offer support to a broad range of player levels, they are meant to be repeatable, and they will let you track your high score and reward your progress. One way to think about the Challenges would be as the perfect thing to do to kill a few minutes while waiting for your buddies to log on for the night. But also sometimes you may want to make a whole night out of maximizing your Challenge scores for either rewards or bragging rights. We will endeavor to make challenges rewarding to play and they will offer unique treasure rewards, XP, favor and guild renown to players of all levels. I look forward to sharing more details as we get closer to release!

Only thing I can think of is since they changed the bravery streak text on the entrance window, info on some quests might be bugged out.
Kinda how the last quest in the catacombs chain used to just have a <string> line instead of actual quest info.

hahaha, I just noticed that myself.  Cheesy 

That would definitely be pretty interesting to epicify, I must say.  But how would they handle divvying up the quests?  At least a few of them, I'm sure you'd just do on casual due to a lack of loot.  Tongue  But it'd sure as hell be interesting.

Interesting... Epicified Splinterskull. ( also known as boredskull, tangledom, and all variations thereof between tangleroot, splinterskull and boredom )

One way I envision it possible is that they get rid of the chain, just make one huge seamless dungeon ( no 2 separate quest like the last few chapters ), and updating objectives :
You enter, your objective is to kill 20 hobbies, Once it's done you get a new objective to Free the prisoners, then you get to fetch the warplans, then to annoy Whisperdoom and so on. With respawning hobbies and some of the Cove mechanisms...
  

Yes my avatar is an Hermine eating a Greenland Lemming for brunch.

I actually really like Frenchie's idea. It would certainly breathe some life into this dungeon. Yes everyone runs it for quick xp, and some of the end rewards are semi-useful, but the whole "finish quest, zone out, run back to guy 20 feet away, run back in, repeat until you wanna stab your eyeballs out"mechanic could use a change.

Extra challenge Tangleroot? Poor Clitna Sad

Seriously, I hope whatever it is eliminates the running back and forth so I can stop feeling like ADD hamster when I run it.

There is a good farm quest in there though.  Why would you want to ruin it?

Whisperdoom isn't worth it.  Maybe solo but no in a group.  There is always that one fucking doosch who has to die.
