Demonweb Pits Challenge

Post by **LinuxPup** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 12:50 am

It's the Demonweb Pits, a place of incredible danger the likes of which Neversummer 4 has never seen... a place where negative/positive plane mobs go to level up. Do you have what it takes? Prove it! The first party that can sucessfully defeat the final boss of DWP wins a prize (on top of the nice loot you'll get on the way).

-Party size cannot exceed 10 to win this challenge.

-No exploits (duh).

-No DM intervention... pray all you want when killed, the only ears that will hear you are Lolth's, who thinks its funny you died. There is no mercy there.

You win if either a DM is there to verify you beat the boss, or you have a screenshot. If no DM is on, remember to record the names of the folks in your party.

Now that we're talking about DWP... And thanks a lot for bringing this challenging event (although some testers should be excluded from the contest as they have an unfair advantage imo).

Is it only me, or is the CR of the creatures a bit low? For the massive spawn, and as they are a bit more dangerous than the mobs in Positive Plane e.g., they should have a CR +2. I.e. a CR 36 should be 38.

DWP wasn't designed around the premise of somewhere to go to grind out lvls...its designed to be the absolute toughest place on the server that you will need all you wits and skills to even attempt.

from what the grape vine has to say DMP are pretty much lvl 40 only so cr doesnt really matter.

I guess it depends, the creatures have higher damage immunity, but there are very few creatures that are crit immune.

Alright, sorry for wanting to have some fun and xp at the same time

.

And if we don't get a place to grind out levels, this places still a huge question mark on ECL 3 chars i.e. Do they really have to kill rats to reach it? Err sorry the Dwarfhome residents &c.? Why not upper the CR according to real challenge. One thing doesn't have to exclude the other, does it?

Fun, hard place and fair xp is all Im asking for...

Ya DWP is like Pos and neg but alot harder its a bascilay for items and for fun but not for exp, The other day a demon of dwp was spawned in the Concil Hall of LA and Geronimo, Myrmadon D and Mythos slayed the beast without dieing but it was extremly difficult it Knocked me down disarmed me many times even tho i have 89 discpline. It was a CR 42 and it wasnt even close to being a boss so this isnt a play like HoD where u can get a big enough party of lvl 30s and run through it

W-I-C-K-E-D-!-!-!

I was hoping to rally people up for DWP this weekend, with or without a contest this is what I've been waiting for! Dwp is very fun on ns3, so it should be insane fun on ns4!

Good thing I have a couple toons with over 90 disc to use.

(everyone going with me -- don't forget to bring lots of healing potions and park your best rescue clerics in the SL nexus AHEAD of time plz. ;P)

thanks devs!!!

Oh, it's "beatable"

It's going to take a lot of strategy and organizaition to explore the caves. So much so, I think what it may require is, a dedicated lvl 40 toon from an association of factions and guilds to explore the area over time. Perhaps we can gather large group of people with builds near or at lvl 40 who can save there and be ready to re-convene exploration at any given moment deep in the plane when 6 or more of us are present.

It's already been explored by some of my HNs friends, and while it is HARD it's not unbeatable, but it may take a bit of metagaming to beat (ie: relogging clerics to rez parties).

I've heard some mobs even resurrect eachother! The epic gnolls back on ns3 do the same thing ;]

actually the rez thing is a general new feature courtesy of linuxpup. dorf now cleric rez too, and if you have 2 dorf clerics they will rez each other lol.

DWP was awesome in NS3 I remember taking it on with 5 40's to finally take down the last dragon boss (forget his name) we had little NS gear back then.
