Escort quests on boss levels

#1 Post by vstat »

I just went through 4 levels of Trollshaws with no quests, and get one on level 5. Fortunately Bill wasn't around the start of the level. I propose that in the future escorts are prevented from being generated on a boss level, or the reward for helping them gets raised. Besides the talent or stat, maybe some gold or a good item.

I second this proposition, it's already hard enough to escort the idiotic escortee's, boss's doesn't add any additional fun

I do NOT support the idea to generate fewer escort quests.

I don't want to see few escort quests either. Fortunately, this would be easy to fix, since the location of escort quests are randomly determined at the beginning of the game. Just exclude levels with fixed bosses in this calculation.

I don't think we as players should be privileged to receive only easier levels for escorts. They're meant to be heavily influenced by chance and have rewards that are rightfully difficult to receive. They also lead to all sorts of amusing situations, so I'm quite in favour of keeping the variety of that.
