Wonder if that information on the Endless Halls will assist in making an easier "guide"?
That effing maze HAD A TELEPORATION ROOM! AHHHHHHHH! I still got the mount after wandering two and a half hours with plenty of failed excel spread sheet maps.
The whole series was good overall and participating in the secrets finding discord was like participating in a 20,000 man raid. It was wonderful and brilliant and the absolutely BEST part of the whole experience. I hope that Discord was able to see the challenges that happened (by carrying that load on their servers), and will be able to program appropriately in the future. On the "could be improved" side of things. I am learning disabled with spatial reasoning (with no visuals, and this was an invisible slitherlink puzzle) and it took two days, multiple resets, giving up, going back in, being frustrated and then finally the addon was released and I was able to finish it. I drew maps that expanded over 4 pages of paper, and it just wasn't a good time for me. I was ready to give up on the whole thing until the addon. I don't mind something I can visually see and work out the problem for but not being able to see anything, just ruined the fun. I also agree that gating it so that the finishers trickling out instead of a massive party like the Riddler's Mind Worm, was a huge letdown. By the time I finished it (and I was there when it was solved two days prior, listening to the cheers and exclamations)...no one was left to join me in Dal to parade around. One woman had broken down and was crying over it. Another was raging due to their frustration. Many others said to heck with it and gave up. That was very disappointing to hear, And I felt very bad for those people, because there was absolutely no way that we could help them to get through it.
Is it still possible to go and find the mount now that they explained it? Is it still in game?
Gods, I hate the endless halls. Please do something less awful next time. The rest of it was actually fun, even grinding the recipe wasn’t bad, but the halls were TERRIBLE. Grats to those who had easy mazes and got it done in a few minutes. Mine was NOT easy even with the add on.
It is still in game, but whether or not the endless halls will be easier after this fix is to be determined if some clever guy figures out how to make a better addon for it :)
Loved the entire experience. Maybe not the overly toxic discord after we solved something. But other than that a lot of fun. Spent 5 hours running around in the endless halls. Slowly going insane while chatting with others in game chat trying to solve it.
I joined the channel when the community was just on gnomergan clue. God the chat was worst than Liriks chat on sub sundays. But it was a fun ride, and feels kinda nice to be a part of the community even if did post just few small suggestions.
Is it still possible to go and find the mount now that they explained it? Is it still in game?Yes it is, and yes it is.
I figured out there was something dodgy inside that room so I ended up drawing it in excel and seeing repeating patterns emerging with some remaining unexplained.It took me roughly 2hrs to get it done, and then I helped a mate while on Discord. He would describe what he saw in each room and I guided him N,S,E,W while updating and drawing the map in excel with walls, orbs, runes etc. It was a crazy mess seeing how many "blackmagic@#$%ery" rooms we had listed, but in the end it all worked out and was thoroughly enjoyable.
The teleportation room makes everything make so much more sense. It took me hours to get through that maze. The mount is gorgeous though, so I still think it was worth the headache.
This was an enjoyable read. I may tackle this towards Christmas when I have much more free time, since it sounds like the maze will be problematic.I still need to go through the lengthy puzzle to get that battle pet. Blegh, haha.
The endless halls just plain broke my will to go after the bloody mount altogether.It was especially cruel to make everyone's maze different in that it made some much easier to get through and some others, and I suspect mine was one of them, damn near impossible to map or complete.To this day I don't have that mount and do not have any desire to go after it again and that's from a player that did insane in the membrane whilst whistling. {insert long string of expletives aimed at Blizzard here}
UGH this Effffing maze! I still do not have the unicorn because of the maze, i Rage/quit so many times >:( I reliable guide to complete it would be great....otherwise no mount for me.
I was happy when I finally managed through the maze. I fully completed a map of my maze which I followed through without any trouble (just very time consuming). I didn't even know about the RANDOM teleportation room, I just thought there were a couple of teleport-rooms which always teleported to the same room.Now that I know the 3 secrets of the maze, I'm actually friggin' impressed that I made it through and especially that my map somehow worked. I just wonder how I managed without ever knowing anything about a random teleportation room.
For the maze, this may help someone.I tried the map add-on, but it honestly wasn't really helping me. I got one orb matched, but then I got completely lost.After a while I started just picking up an orb and then wandering completely aimlessly until I found the right rune.Then I continued wandering until I found the next orb, and repeated.This went substantially faster for the remaining orbs. Took an equivalent amount of time, too, to what I hear from people who made painstaking maps (2-3 hours).It also felt really awesome and exactly like I was trapped in a maze of my own mind by the Old Gods. 100% recommend.
