Agreed, but I don't consider running a few quests to be "complex flagging".

Like I said, I'm of the opinion that it would be reasonable to be able to repeat SC (as well as other quests that require flagging) without having to repeat the flagging if you've done it that life.



I agree on that.  Any quest chain capper (raid or otherwise) should not reset on 1 run.  Just reset on TR. 

They have slowly been bleeding that out of the game.  DQ used to be that way, VON, etc, etc.

Now how about permanent flagging for all raids so I never have to set foot in Let Sleeping Dust Lie ever fucking again?

Love the bookbinder change. Don't let squishy NPC die quests suck.

/Signed on both!

I didn't mind Bookbinder, but in general I find the "don't let X die" quests unimaginative and fickle.

I hate to give SSG any ideas, but if it existed I might actually choose the option "Spend 1 astral shard to bind Commander Tesara with duct tape and lean her against the rest shrine until the battle is over".
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

Yeah i feel the same. Nothing against "keep alive" quests in general. But some of them in DDO are really shitty + shitty NPC AI + some champs spawns makes them literally crap in some situations.
I dont mind if i have to make decisions and change tactics because my goal is not only kill but also protect. But when you spend 15 mins in quest that suddenly fails in split of second because stupid NPC AI charges some champs even when specifically told not to do such thig. Thats just not fun.

I solved that particular problem by never running that quest.

Works every time.

I'm kind of amazed this is even a "problem" for some people. Take her out the gate to the left, all the way back to the edge of the map. There is a pillar there that you can stick her behind. Tell her to stay and she'll never move and mobs never find her.

You can also park her there and just wait out the 15 minute timer for the ogre to appear at the opposite end of the map, down the road away from the stronghold.

1 kill completion.

The problem isn't dealing with the Captain, it's that the whole quest is a pointless time sink.
