Everyone hates the new Partycrashers

[Lacci]

You should have put in an option for "Don´t care either way"
I don´t hate it, but also don´t love it. I don´t find the new layout worse than the old one, but I ran the old one so often and the new one only a few times, so I struggle with memorizing the new routes.
But that´s not a problem of the quest but myself being used to the old layout.

 

[Mornyngstar]

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

If it was causing issues server side how would you know from running the quest?

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

all of the above? or you seem to have left out all of the above... ***.... how can you be so obtuse?

Need one for "I didn't know it changed". I will have to try it, just to experience it without waiting for Cyan.

And how could I know it if I didn't witness any lag in Partycrashers ?

 

[Sarandra]

I hated it before the change, I now hate it with a passion since the change.

 

[Magnumaniac]

Fortunately there are enough lvl 5 quests to never, ever need to run House P chain again, and lvl 20 flits by so fast I have never run any except The Snitch in epic levels.
I detest these quests utterly, and Partycrashers was always the worst (but not quite as bad as Tomb of the Tormented).

Sadly, you can only buy vowels.

Even Vanna has a price. (ref: May 1987)

....

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

....

Okay, so I wasn't trippin'.

That probably tells how long it'd been since I ran that.

I actually enjoyed Epic Partycrashers (wasn't a fan of the heroic version) but thanks to Saga's I usually only will do it on an ER (if at all).

 

[RangerOne]

I hate it. My thread on it is out there somewhere. Additionally I never had a problem with framerates and fountains in the earlier edition so it was doubly insulting to me. As for its value, epic drops tokens of the twelve although Snith and BoB are faster to run.

 

[Oliphant]

Can't really say. Only played it once or twice. Didn't like feeling lost at the end. Probably temporary.

 

[Bardy]

When did this change even happen? I've been unable to play much for the past year or so. I decided to run the chain on an epic character recently and was very confused .
Also I agree it's worse now, but maybe my mind will change if I get used to it.

 

[GrindFlayer]

I don't "hate" the new Partycrashers, but I did like the old one more.
The fountain room was causing significant performance issues though, and it's not because my system is so slow and old (not the best either, but it was more than enough back then, and still is: RTX 3070 & Ryzen 7 5800X).

I'm not sure what they tried to do in order to alleviate the issues, but I don't remember any of the solutions being just removing the koboldawful fountain, and replacing it with something else. It was so clear that it, or something behind the scene related to it was causing the trouble; every time I faced the fountain in the room, no matter where I was at in that hall, my fps dropped to 10-20, made the camera panning work very awkwardly, and woke up the computer fans. Going past it caused the same. Everything else in the quest was fine.

They didn't exactly have to redesign the whole area, let alone make it 3 rooms + connecting corridors instead of 1, but I guess someone wanted to have their fingerprint in the quest, or they wanted to familiarize some new person in the topic of "how to create an adventure area".

 

[Christhemiss]

i dont hate the new partycrashers. i hate how the gather point was carried over from the original into the new. otherwise i could care less

 

[Mofus]

Just ran it a few days ago, the final area with expanded rooms was not fun. Wish they had left it alone.

 

[ChickenMobile]

I think it's so much better!

Pros:

• Have more than 5fps in the gala now
• Cyan just TPs to the Statue room when you talk to her about being finished
• They didn't change the 'sprit' of the quest

Cons:

• Lots of running
• Most optionals not worth it (e.g. the room opened with Contraband Key, figuring out if stage was sabotaged etc. etc.)
• Gather mechanic

 

[Col Kurtz]

SSG should unlock this chain so we can run the last dungeon without suffering through the two horrible ones first

 

[Lori]

There's a difference between fixing client side lag by removing the source of the lag or removing the nice big hall and replacing it with same looking rooms with 2 levels each that have zero descriptions or map indicators.

Who is responsible for this is what I'd like to know so I can call him a questnazi. That guy hates the player base.
Yes, fire whoever is responsible for this

 

[Blunt Hackett]

The old one is way better. I get that changes were made to reduce lag, but the changes unnecessarily ruined some of the straightforward gameplay.

 

[smallstones]

I wouldn't say I like it, but also wouldn't say I hate new Partycrashers... I'm just glad Miss Walks so Slow now teleports to the end instead of taking three days to get there... Before the change, I kept trying to give her a pair of striders +30% but apparently they would clash with her outfit...
