Pillars and Disks

Heya!

Just popping in with two quick suggestions I feel would be nice additions to the quest of topic.

1) Could the disks possibly be changed so that each level has its own colour? Or just every other disk of another colour, or so. I didn't think much of it the first couple of goes, but when you approach 7-8 disks, it's kind of tricky at times to judge of what levels different disks are once they're spread out across the pillars. Especially since the room layout doesn't really offer an easy side-view of the pillars. It's nothing too major, but it would be nice.

2) Could the pillars possibly be moved a bit closer together? As it is, once you approach the higher number of disks, the quest really takes a silly amount of time to complete, simply due to the time it takes to run back and forth. I understand that the quest shouldn't be a forever quick five minute run for xp and loot, but having to spend up towards an hour and a half even with the quickest possible execution algorithm on the higher levels is a bit too much, I feel.

If you do more than the first few levels you're a bit mad. The balancing factor to the quest is just how long it does take!

I object to this statement! >.>

I don't :(. But, I'd like to! But yeah, I understand that, of course. I just figured that perhaps making it require just a bit less time would make it feasible to complete, say, five times instead of four or so, throughout the life of a PC, a prospect that doesn't seem too excessive.

I think it's probably best most characters don't finish it more than five or six times; not that it's very difficult, but unless their intelligence is a good 13 or up, it should take them quite a while to figure out some times.

I agree
