I love the rushmores challenges, they only problem with them really is the shitty rewards and lack of insentive to run them.


I find the flaw to be the random crests coupled with the long time(40+ minutes) to get to the end and have 5 of every crest but the fucking BAT!

Couldn't agree more.  Finally hot-barred the crests just to see how bad it was.  Every time ended up with ~3-6 of every type except the one I needed to proceed.  Fuck random, fuck that place.

Challenges dont have to be written off.

If the exp was better on repeated runs, new items were made to keep pace with the level cap increase and the es ings could be traded for cov's they would get run more.

I love the rushmores challenges, they only problem with them really is the shitty rewards and lack of insentive to run them.


This.  One of the, many, big mistakes Turbine made post MotU was thinking that your older epic quests shouldn’t be a part of the epic level experience.

Park someone at the puzzle.  Only way I've found to avoid the dreaded missing crest syndrome.

Probably a good tip, thanks, but I won't be going back any time soon.   Smiley

It isn't a 100% fix either.  We've needed bat before and had like 3 octopus at the puzzle.  It isn't designed to be completable.  It is designed to just spawn crests.  We've failed a couple times at the first door because of no crests.

Yeah, I think I'll just find the heaviest door in my house and slam it shut on my junk a couple of times.  I'll get the same feeling as running that challenge, but it will be way quicker and just as rewarding.

And you won't need to spend 20 minutes covering old ground to get the door open each time. Bonus.
