Forgotten Forest frustration

[Spiffy Has]

Best place in the server.

Sounds like you just suck with directions.

Just do it until you've memorized it.  Then it becomes like a little labyrinth you can lead PVP into and crazy misty shenanigans follow.

Pen.

Paper.

Really helps.

One of the best parts of the server that you are now sadly missing out on :(.

I am not seeing the value of this thread.

When I first arrived on EFU I had a great time exploring the Forgotten Forest with Avery. The maze works in its favor to drive home how dark and mysterious its supposed to be, and makes it all the more rewarding when you find bits and pieces of lore.

If your PC doesn't know the maze, find a guide who does and draw a map. Use it as an opportunity for for some fun interaction.

I have once logged out as I hadn't time to go through it, but I still like it. Especially as my brother always gets stuck and takes hours atleast to get out, haha.

Pen and paper.

You dont even need pen and paper. I love the area though, especially if you are a stargazer or watcher.

If I was the only player that has logged off because of it, says one thing. The fact that more than one player has logged off (or spent hours of time IG there) says to me it needs to be addressed.

So in a nut-shell it boils down to OOC metagame it, and even a min-maxed moron can get through.
And  ,.!..  the other 18%

Yep, cool map.

I don't think you read or understood people's responses very well if that's your conclusion. Your opinion is noted, however.

The Forgotten Forest scares me o.o (in a good way, that is.) I love that area so much. I enter it only in times of dire need and I always have so much trouble navigating it. I try to avoid it when I don't have to go there because I don't want familiarity to ruin its mood for me.

But when I do have to go there, it's magical. It is adventure in a way I rarely experience after many years of gaming. (I once saw this demotivator image showing a road fork. The sign by the left road read, "Raccoon City" and the one by the right read, "Silent Hill." If you added a straightway with a sign reading "Forgotten Forest" above it, it would give you a fair idea of how I feel about it. O.o )

~tOH.

It would make much more sense if it were some sort of die roll vs a PC's wilderness survival and astronomy (and whatever other skill/EFUSS else). If you make the roll you get to point B, if you dont then you end up at point Z. This would not punish the PC because of the player. As it stands now you are punishing the PC because of the player and even a native Stargazer druid with a 10 in wilderness survival and 5 in astronomy would get lost because the player can't figure it out. Something like this would also punish the min-maxed power build causing them to get lost (and not metagame their way through, which they are obviously doing now). It would accomplish the same thing and make more sense that the tree-hugger types can find their way through. It would also help keep people from spending two and more hours just randomly bopping around as eventually even the PC's with little to no wilderness survival would make the save and get through.
