My brain is painful - runes

Community General Discussion

It is time consuming I got mines but it took me while to get the order I need since the order is random.

The objective should change

Not a fan of candy crush tbh. The 5 runes in a row O.o is a bit too much. Maybe 3?

I havenā€™t had much trouble with it but if I may offer some feedback it feels like the board gravity can actively work against you in this thing.

Maybe donā€™t have it so gems can fall through the bottom, just have fixed boards. This would make it a lot easier for people to actually plan moves ahead and line up gems which is how these games usually work.

I would highly recommend the devs in charge of this minigame take a look at something like the Match 3 genre on MSN games. There is a reason most of them have fixed boards.

Thereā€™s a ā€œSimonā€ game in Blades Edge ā€“ itā€™s a daily.

Thereā€™s also the Plants v Zombies game near Tarren Mill.

I donā€™t see this world quest for me.

47

Didnā€™t do either, I still donā€™t have ogrilla rep up, and never will. I forgot about Plants vs Zombies, I had my granddaughter do that one, she flew right thru it. I still donā€™t understand that game.

48

So thatā€™s what your supposed to do. I had no idea and spent 15 minutes messing around with it without direction. It wouldnā€™t let me exit the game by using the exit vehicle hotkey, flight whistle, hearthstone, or character stuck button. End Tasking WoW worked though.

49

Different strokes for different folks I guess, Iā€™d much rather shake it up once in a while and do something random like that, than just ā€œgo kill x amount of these or grab y amount of thoseā€ every quest.

I didnā€™t mind the Kirin Tor dailies either, and honestly, if they made a toy out of the quest so I could play Nazjatar Crush while I waited for the one guy to come back from break during raids, that would be great.

Is it anything like the lucid nightmare quest? There was a candy crush quest where you had align 5 in a row for that. Took me a bit of time but I never played that kind of game before.

This is great, being colorblind the match 5 was painful (not trying to moan, i just skipped them, but it will be nice to not have to)

Please donā€™t. Stop dumbing down quests because some people are having difficulty with it. This is a world quest, it isnā€™t end game, and just leave it as it is.

The school isnā€™t going to dumb down math for you - just practice and get better. So please, leave it alone. Let some things be difficult. I can promise you, the payoff is so much sweeter when it is solved in its current iteration.

Please! No more pruning, or nerfing, or whatever. Thanks.

So youā€™re saying that you outsourced that specialized task to an expert? Iā€™m curious to know what she charged you, like a ice cream or some cookies or something? I hope you gave her a great review on yelp.

How very gig economy of you! Well done!

/moo :cow:

Yep and I took her to the mall and bought her what ever she wanted that day, it was a great day with my granddaughter

I wondered about that, I didnā€™t know if the colorblind setting helped at all, I know thereā€™s symbols in them too but my eyes arenā€™t great and I had trouble picking those out. I canā€™t imagine being colorblind on top of that.

58

I agree on principle but this is a bad thing to cry ā€œstop dumbing down!ā€ over.

Itā€™s a world quest that is apparently taking some people half an hour or more and there is no easy way to cancel out of it (mounting a 2 person mount does it). That grinds everyoneā€™s experience to a halt at a wall of gameplay completely unrelated to what they came here for.

Also I am a game designer myself, Iā€™ve worked on RPGs AND on Match 3. Match 3 is what I currently do. I know the genre. The WoW version is not a good example of it. I could (and have) done better while sick.

Iā€™d redesign the thing, but making it 3 matches of smaller clusters will simplify it considerably in terms of time investment.

This. Took me almost an hour to do the runes. Ley lines took like 2 minutes.

Itā€™s sad they donā€™t have like a public test realm to work out these problems and bugsā€¦
