"In from the cold" was fine. Please keep trying new things, SE (spoilers)

I'm one of the RP duty haters. But this one they did right, I enjoyed it.

I know the timer will cause problems for those who get anxious in timed situations but it was also generous to give the player time to look around and figure out what to do.

I don't like timers. At all. So, that stressed me out right from the start.

Every duty you've ever joined has a timer.

I really enjoyed in from the cold. I did not enjoy any of the follow an npc quests, but I can "accept" their existence.

I would like to see more actual emphasis on picking and choosing your battles tho. I see a lot of mixed opinions on the quest, but this quest was rather memorable for me.


Deep dungeon on the deeper floors has a lot of that dread feeling, not necessarily just trying to find the fastest way to get to a duty complete but, we should try to avoid this or that at all costs etc.. and you don't have to be switched to an alternate character to enjoy that stuff.

Anyhow put me in the camp of enjoying something a little more than face roll Haha content but also outside the camp of first week savage clear bros.

I did the quest a day after having surgery. I was on oxycodone and medical marijuana and I did the quest just fine on the first try. It isn't difficult in the slightest. The enemies are damn-near blind and you have tons of time. The only thing that would have been nice is some sort of direction, but I pieced it together just running around and clicking on shinies until I figured out what I was supposed to do based on the content of the information each shiny gave me.

I enjoyed it more than any other mission I've done where I had to play as someone else. This made sense. The character you had to play was supposed to be weak and on their last legs. So playing as them felt right to me. When I play as a scion I feel like "why am I doing this? They'd do so much better on their own instead of me playing them. I don't know what their abilities even do."

With the soldier though? It's super simple. And you could feel the hopelessness and despair of being trapped among the enemy.

People really had problems with this quest?
Jesus, how used to everything being babies first MMO easy mode are those people?

this was literally a simple stealth Duty where you just had to look where enemies backs are... there was one mandatory fight at the beginning and the next time you even need to fight anything is when you meet the friendly NPCs who tank for you...

The Duty was awesome, i actually felt like I was under pressure for the first time since the Samurai Duty on that Boat...

I just did this quest last night and honestly I did not seeing this coming.
While doing this quest, I also get that feeling of disparity and worry that Zenos will either conduct genocide in my character's body and kill at least one Scion entire time.
This is a definitely much better quest that I have never being able to fell in WoW

I was slightly frustrated by it due to camera angles and clipping. The target ring glitched in one attempt and remained over my head so had to redo the quest. So I hope they fix the target ring.

That said. I did enjoy this quest it captured emotionally what I should be feeling at the time. It did take a bit to figure out but its nicer than a lot of the brain dead fetch quests.

Also bumping this since it got buried

How are people freaking out with timers? Did you guys not play video games in the 80's and 90s? Almost ALL of them had 10 min timers to finish a stage. I'll never understand it I guess. I'm not trying to make fun either but I am seriously confused.
