Sleepywood-locked Challenge

Putting out a bounty on any lv 40-65 knuckles you manage to fish from gach.

 

Created an account to post this - leggo!

 

I have mixed feelings as well about the deep ludi idea. This is a cool idea, but I don't know if the whole challenge will still remain challenging or it will lose its point.
I'm interested to see the sleepywood's folk thoughts about this idea.

The guild idea is fantastic! I hope to be there in the creation. I'm 4 hours ahead of server time, GMT.

 

I'm ok with the deep ludi idea. We'll have something more to look forward to after we outgrow Sleepywood. Not that Vitruvius will ever outgrow Sleepywood... Methinks it's still thematic as well, since it's a self-contained area that has its own potion shop and a boss at the very end. It is a much smaller area however, so there's a lot less to do there.

Yay to a Sleepywood guild! I don't really have an idea for the guild name though >< Also, a couple of us are at +8 GMT.

 

I think these two kinds of challenge are different, and it should be seperated.
After completing all achievements in Sleepywood, we may discuss deep-ludi challenge more further.
But in now seems that every spelunker is still very 'young', I currently suggest that the regulation for continuing deep-ludi challenge is need for at least killing Jr. balrog once.
Anyways, many challenges are still good for motivation.
I maybe can't go to found the guild, but please lemme in after u guys finish~

 

Generally speaking the idea is to make Deep-Ludi accessible for people that have completed the goal quest of killing Jr. Balrog and Zombie Mushmom (maybe make it extreme, as in complete the monster cards for both?)

Not sure of how it will be when one goes to Deep Ludi? Can he travel back to Sleepywood at a later moment?
I'm GMT+2 for guild making

 

I'm down with the deep ludi idea, but we definately need to make some big achievement to be able to escape.
Maybe getting to lvl70 is our only key to freedom?...

I'm GMT+1 and working weekends so unfortunately won't be available for guild making

This honestly seems like a pretty bad challenge.
There's not much content in Sleepywood and your goals are rather limited. Off the top of my head, the best goals would be to beat Jr. Balrog, beat Zombie Mushmom, collect all the cards in the region, complete all the quests, collect every best in slot item.
It's not really something to write home about like area/region locked challenges in other games like Runescape. On the off chance that the proper Balrog is added, then the challenge will have something worth working towards, but right now the challenge is rather easy, just slow.
If you want to really push yourself, head off at level 10 or job advancement. Sleepywood surprisingly has a nice progression curve.

 

tbh imho this is bs.
Else why would I be islanding in my free time?
I feel like Sleepywood is the correct slice of non-Maple Island which can be locked to a certain challenge, the fun part is seeing outsiders ask why you're there at some certain levels, just like it happens with islanders and newbies "omg u blocked island?"

 

You are free to have an opinion, but i disagree with you.

Im enjoying myself just fine.

 

Yeah let's criticize the goals people set for themselves in a mushroom whacking game. Way to take the fun out of it my dude.

 

Yeah, maybe you're right, and maybe not. It's like people are asking me why I play with a beginner. It's easy, maybe if you have the gear, but yeah, it can be a really slow progression.
At the end of the day I'm having fun playing the game and I don't feel like I've wasted my time, so I'm cool with that. SeemsGood

 

Yeah, I get the disagreement over calling the challenge bad, but in my opinion, it isn't really a challenge or a meme.
Islanders and Beginners can be seen partaking in their challenge while Sleepywood restricted characters have nothing to really show, you're just a player training in Sleepywood. Sleepywood is a very diverse area with a surprisingly nice progression curve much like the rest of Victoria Island. Rather than being challenged, you've given a difficulty curve of standard gameplay. The progression is almost entirely mapped out in-game too and that's my criticism regarding the challenge.
It's just easy, you're welcome to leave for job advancements, you're given until level 20 before you have to enter and you've got 5k mesos to spend right off the bat. It'd be more interesting to throw yourself in at level 10 as a beginner or 1st job whatever and truly trap yourself in Sleepywood. Play through the game like a new player who got lost in Sleepywood, underprepared and surrounded by powerful mobs.
I'm all for dumb and silly challenges like STR mages and Double Stab NLs and the idea is great, I was just hoping the execution would make it challenging.

 

That's why I choose beginner for this challenge and not bring the OP tuna <3
Anyways, I simply take a respect for those who take on this challenge.
Sometimes doing some crazy dumb things are interesting and can let yourself confident.

 

when this is called a challenge, its a challenge relative to standard, more meta ways of leveling, e.g., kpq, lpq, leeching lol

i also think "challenge" is being used loosely by the people who play sleepy locked. i think it's more of used to describe the endeavor. also and again, this is objectively more of a challenge than the conventional way of playing where you can pq, merch, get free things, train optimally. your interpretation of a challenge is valid, but the word challenge is also relative so that this can also be a challenge for others too

 

Why does a challenge have to be difficult in a game where no actual rules can be enforced regardless?
Just let people play they consider entertaining.
