DMF update
Posted: Sat Jun 07, 2014 11:11 pm
I noticed a couple of changes at the Darkmoon Faire.
- the first, very minor, is that Darkmoon Snarlers are now level 100. I would guess it's the same for the other wolves involved in the Moonfang event, but the Snarlers currently too tough for me to solo to induce the others to spawn.
- more importantly a new game has appeared; a racing course. Keep in mind it's clearly not finished yet (at least there's a couple of glitchy things), but it's a lot of fun and I thought I'd show you a preview.
The start is down by the docks, where you're put on a tallstrider mount. The object of the course is to reach three coloured markers and then make it back to the start. Unless you die this is achievable by anyone, but it's the timer that seems to matter. Or at least seems like it will when the race is finished. Currently you just get the intro quest over and over.
Around the course are numerous items and obstacles. Things that may speed you, teleport you, or shoot you like a rocket. The latter can either help or hinder depending on where you were facing when you triggered them. Also, there are nasty little zeppelins everywhere that try to shoot you and slow you down. To distract them there are also bags of rabbits you can collect and then hurl as decoys
Currently the zepps are present and aggro even when you're not racing and while they don't cause real damage, they will annoyingly keep attacking an innocent bystander and hold them in combat until killed, but then they respawn quickly. Presumably this isn't intended and won't go live.
All of these things are spread out over a wide area of the forest and beach, meaning you aren't confined to a narrow course and can pick your own preferred race path to try to improve your time. It's a lot of fun anyway
Shoot the cute, fluffy bunny, not me!
