Everyone hates the new Partycrashers

[Maidenstalker]

I did the chain for the Top Hat and Phiarlan Mirror Cloak.

Sadly, they subsequently nerfed the Top Hat (years ago, now), so now (as far I as know) the Cloak is the only groovy item in the end rewards.

IIRC, the only times I've run it at all were on HC for favor. So, I'd probably not know how it changed and certainly don't care.

Don't suggest SSG to use logic in fixing problems. They can't use the excuse "We have no money" if they solve problems with 2 cp instead of 2 pp. Obviously the person (or people) who solved the Black Loch problem no longer work there.

I am still mad they removed the clam chest! But yes, they did great work there.

(I made and kept an OLD epic cloak for that sweet SR)

I hate A small problem quest even more, to the point I skip that whole chain.

I liked the old Partycrashers for years, but after it became the abomination it is now, I don't bother with it.

 

[toaf]

maybe if i run it a few more times... but ya not a fan. only did it to get mask of comedy

 

[Frieling Slyhand]

I get why they did but a better fix would have been to replace the fountain with a big dance platform and some dancers, keeping the room layout the same.

Everyone hates the new Partycrashers poll.
Every single one I ask hates it.

We have to live with it since the original had lag issues. They worked on fixing it a number of times (5-6 that I can remember) before what they ended up with. Anyone voting to go back to the original is voting for MORE lag.

I've never ever seen ANY lag in the old Partycrashers. Don't know what are you talking about.

Update 72 Release Notes

Other changes:​

• The quest "Partycrashers" has been adjusted for improved performance. Several of its rooms have had their layout or lighting further modified.

Update 70 is when it was reopened after the change. There were other posts back then from the Devs about it.

I always love it when someone posts a thread claiming to speak for "Everyone".

Would been nice if they had put the Tiefling singer from The Same Old Song singing at the stage.

I know what they put into the changelog.
But I also know what I saw in-game. There were no any lag.

I never really experienced much issue either.

1. I use a hefty GPU (so much like the old Yester Hill issue, it was able to "sort of" brute force enough of it where it was minimal.
2. The issue required that the water from the fountain be seen and there be lighting effects on the other side (to cast shadows, but the water displaces and alters the shadow calculations again), so there was only a few angles where this would happen rather than everywhere in the fountain room.

So it wasn't something that impacted everyone or to the same level. But it was there.

A: Yes.
B: No.
C: Meh.

I'd like to buy a C, Vanna.

I just ran that chain last week for the shrug of it. I found none of the quests more nor less irritating than they ever were. (which means I might run it again in another 3-5 years.)

Sadly, you can only buy vowels.

 

[Igognito]

I liked and still like the whole chain. It somehow has different mechanics and atmosphere from the rest of the game.
Yes, having a single big room made more sense but it is still fine.
Cheers

It's for separating the 1% of the 1%. Kind of like the secret forum here, not everyone gets to see it.

There's a Secret Forum?!?!
Bastages!

I love the new layout of Partycrashers. Was easy to understand after 2 runs. Lure 2 Tieflings to Library and Unlock private quarters (if available) to completely avoid end fight.

I especially like the removal of Cyan's casual stroll across the huge room.

The "gather the party" mechanic is still the WORST but that is the case with any quest.

A Small Problem needs some TLC to remove the running back and forth but with a couple extra people this can be done quickly.
