All right! So this next one is mine. *inhale.....exhale*
First off, as always I freaking love this site.
It's huge, there's a lot of varied terrain, and because it was so nice and cool and frosty, there were about no biting insects which was very nice I'm sure for everyone.
I love working with Miss Loli in the tavern with Doug as always, and it was wonderful meeting all the new people from out of chapter as well as seeing all the cool Advanced characters and costumes.
Sadly, that is honestly the bulk of my player experience. The most interaction had in the environment was as an NPC so I can't say that I had much Adventure this weekend.
I really wanted there to be mod cards.
No matter when I went out and about during the entire weekend event as Lia, I could not get involved in a single Adventure.
There came a time when I got so frustrated I just wanted to go and get to fight with my two friends I had driven down with, But it was in that moment the healer is Guild event was also going on.
I had to choose between those two for my character.
While I chose to go and do the healers trial, it turned out that we had been left unprepared by the other event which was going on at the same time.
The end result of that, was a few moments of actual combat I got to enjoy with the group followed by more of me waiting at the tavern.
While waiting for my actual healers Guild trial to begin, a new massive event popped up in front of us with giant spiders.
Using roleplay as a guide, it seems like the town might be doomed if we didn't do something and that this was much more important than me finally getting to join the darn healers Guild.
So me and a wonderful group of players stayed to participate, following this mod to see where it led.
Although the situation was incredibly dire, or at least it had been presented that way through Roleplay, the team made it seem like we could do absolutely nothing about the problem presented to us.
Although I understand logistically that there may not have been enough people to put on this mod and that issues may have arisen setting it up, I will be frank.
I was heartbroken. This was the only Adventure which I was able to participate in the whole weekend. And it ended in nothing.
Completely closed off from options left and right, we returned to the tavern to find out that I had missed my opportunity to do my Earth Guild joining Quest.
Not only did I end this weekend unable to Adventure with my friends, but I also was unable to join the Earth casters Guild.
A question I would like to honestly post you, is why did you even start such a big, world is going to end, sort of mod if it could not be followed through? Why not wait until next time, or whisper it through the dreaming? I'm just sad because I got my hopes up.
As a character, I will come back again because I love this chapter and I love this game.
As a player, I was really disappointed. It honestly seemed like because I was not involved in any side plot prior, or was not counted as a member of one of the other groups that actively Roleplay s with plot via discord between events, that unless I followed those individuals continuously, I would never get to see any Adventure or growth in this game.
Yes that may be a little melodramatic, but I was really really..... really hurt that I didn't get to experience even one of these things were mentioned above.
Everyone else got to be part of such awesome adventures, you all came back with such great stories.
I think the biggest stories I have, my character can't tell, because I had them while I was an NPC. My Adventures, where had as the muffin man and as Dee the Sphinx.
I think I had more fun playing Dee than my actual player character that I had paid to come and play. I got to interact with all sorts of people, be Whimsical and silly, and everyone else had a lot of fun with this character too. I do hope plot will allow me to play her in the future so that I can set up more games and puzzles because gosh darn it, that was a heck in lot of fun.
While I was disappointed with the results of this last game, it was honestly the result of me trying to help out at the tavern. We had such a large group of people and I wanted to make sure that our Tavern mistress and her crew had everything they needed as well as that's a part of my character's job in town! I'm not just going to abandon them to a massive group of players, I'm... I have a hard time being that selfish.
But I may have to if I want to actually Adventure next game.
I know some of this was unavoidable because of what happened with the NPC's who dropped out.
I still love the game,
I still love the chapter,
but this event left me wanting, sad, and heartbroken.
Dee however, had a heck of a lot of fun and can't wait to meet everyone again and play new games!
Yeah... That was a pretty somber feedback, and I do realize how dramatic some of that is. I am not going to lie though, and I will always give you my honest opinion.
If there is anything that I can do to keep some of these things from repeating next event, please don't hesitate to tell me.
The wonderful thing about this chapter is that the populous here are very dedicated to it and I'm sure that each one of us would be willing to help if delegated a task. Let us help you help us ......if that's something that we can do.....
I'm sorry, I think that's the only sort of positive note I can spin on this right now.
