Feedback and Suggestions - remove backtracking from The Dweller of the Deep - Forum

The question is whether it's worth doing the quest at all. If you could walk out of the cave straight away after killing the dweller it would be a more attractive option. Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/657756	Posted by dudiobugtron on Jun 28, 2016, 8:29:56 AM Quote this Post

Still this quest is annoying. I don't know what GGG's obsession with backtracking is, it makes everything fucking tedious. Masters. Random Quests. Prophecies. Dynamic Environment - Day/Night, Rain/Lightning - http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/110100 GGG's design philosophy in three words: Quantity over Quality.

+1. No reason to leave this bad design in place . And this doesnt have a impact on racers , as all will have the same benefit.	Posted by miljan on Jun 28, 2016, 3:42:33 PM Quote this Post

Fair enough but im pretty sure this quest in particular is a passive point which i would think would be worth it no matter what. Then again i dont race and i also do ALL these quests as i lvl because i dislike backtracking. This is also counter productive in a racing scenario since most racers skip alot of these for that reason so. There is a fine line between Consideration and Hesitation. The former is Wisdom, the latter is Fear.	Posted by Demonoz on Jun 28, 2016, 4:17:27 PM Quote this Post
I doubt it would make racing harder/easier, it would make it different for sure. "Is there such a thing as an absolute, timeless enemy? There is no such thing, and never has been. And the reason is that our enemies are human beings like us. They can only be our enemies in relative terms."	Posted by kamil1210 on Jun 29, 2016, 2:43:45 PM Quote this Post
Im not sure if this is sarcasm or serious post. For the audience sake I really hope its the former, but sadly I cannot be sure.	Posted by grepman on Jun 29, 2016, 5:58:29 PM Quote this Post

How do you take your portal back to submerged? Or log out and your portal remains right? Unless you are playing in a party, in which case i'm sure people are already doing this, one person just ignores side quests and goes forward and the other person ports them in before crab is dead and then they can continue. Similarly with act 2 parties split up.	Posted by biyte on Jun 29, 2016, 6:08:41 PM Quote this Post

For the thread topic, I agree. Backtracking sucks. I gain absolutely nothing from wasting time running over the corpses of monsters I already killed. All backtracking needs to be removed from the game. It's just bad design in an ARPG.	Posted by Jennik on Jun 29, 2016, 6:16:29 PM Quote this Post

ARPG- check. great game, lots of backtracking. and traps. and oneshots. its glorious. all you guys trying to turn this game into a super linear rails A->B game, WHY ? jesus christ.

Am I the only one who thinks this was just an excuse for the TC to post a picture of a poorly drawn penis? Tired of trolls? Ignore them. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1473168	Posted by Albinosaurus on Jun 29, 2016, 6:36:47 PM Quote this Post
