Bring Back The Quest Lord Of The Clock

I only replied to two posts, I didn't "ignore you" I just didn't see a need to reply because you never asked me a question, or even directed what you said at me.

 

autism is hard

 

I agree it was a great quest, so much fun seeing all the references!

 

Grading Time!
(Grading the Lord of the Clock quest)
Also, since there's one thing that occurs way too much in this quest, I'll put a blue note (*) next to anything that is an exact replica to something in LotR.

Bulbo: 1..2...3....4.....5....
Bulbo: That incessant ticking.. the time, my very existence.. None of it makes any sense, I can't stop obsessing over it!
This line feels way too forced/contrived... basically saying "This clock does some deep shit, kill it with fire!"

Bulbo: Not all too long ago I recovered this clock after it fell out of the pocket of a man engaged in battle with another.
So Bulbo just stole a clock from a random person just because it fell out of his pocket....
Also, if it fell out of his pocket, why can't I removed it from my pocket?

Bulbo: At first it made me feel empowered. I was able to do remarkable things and was filled with an incredible knowledge and understanding of our world.
*That's one.
Also, why is it that only Bulbo feels empowered? I held that thing for more than an hour and I felt perfectly fine.

Bulbo: But no more.. the information, it's too much and too fast, my mind cannot handle it. I'm becoming mad!
*That's two.
Also, just like I said last time, I didn't go insane while caring this clock around.

Bulbo: It must be destroyed. I am sorry to ask, but I'm not stable enough to do this on my own. Do you think you can assist me in destroying it?
Bulbo: Thank you kindly. I'm sorry to say, I do not know how to destroy it. Talk to my dear friend, Gundalf. He is far more experienced than I, and he surly will know.
I already know how to permanently remove it from existence! Put it in a loot chest, then stuff your pockets full of a bunch of junk, and it will vanish! That's the true way to complete the quest.

Bulbo: Here is the clock. Gundalf will be in his secret library quarters near The Nether portal. Look for the damaged tower to enter, and tell no one of his whereabouts.
So... Why does Bulbo keep Gundalf's tower a secret? We never really learn why Gundalf lives a secretive life.


Gundalf: I never have visitors, I hope you're not here with malicious intent.
You never have visitors because nobody knows about your lair, except... for some reason Bulbo knows.

Gundalf: ... I see. So Bulbo's mind is being corrupted and consumed by the work of a great evil.
[lb;|jufj] CORRUPTION!
So a LotR reference is a partial cause of corruption in Wynn? Why though...

Gundalf: The fool! He could never keep his curiosity at bay. The clock is known as the [Insantic Clock].
Well, if I were a thieving hobbit like Bulbo, I would probably look at the clock.

Gundalf: My name is Gundalf. There is a seemingly growing presence of evil in these lands, I have hidden away down here to collect information.
Your secretiveness failed as a weird hobbit already knows you exist.
Also, researching what? He only goes on about the Insantic Clocks. Wait a minute...
*That's three

Gundalf: The Insantic Clocks magic seal cannot be destroyed by any weapon. There are a few volcanoes in these lands, and we're fortunate enough to be rather close to the one that we need.
*That's four
HOW AWFULLY CONVENIENT! No but seriously, Mt. Wynn used to only exist for this quest and nothing else.

Gundalf: To break the evil magic and destroy the clock will require burning it at an extraordinary temperature. Mt. Wynn descends to such a depth, men have questioned if it's a part of our world.
Even if it goes through to the core, Mt. Wynn still is part of this world.

Gundalf: Take this clock and heave it off the edge, do not hesitate. The exit from this place is behind me. Go northwest from there, near a dense nest of spiders.
The (old) entrance to Mt. Wynn is not on the same side as the spider nest, as it is closer to the Halowynn Masquerade Quest start.
Also, Mt. Wynn is more north of Gundalf's tower than it is north-west.


Frudo: Hi. What do you think you're doing?
What are you doing here?

Frudo: Oh, come to destroy the [Insantic Clock] have we..? Well, I'll just go ahead and do that for you.
Yet again, I can't throw it but Frudo can? He must be magic...

Frudo: Eh?? Of course Bulbo knew I would be the one to destroy it, that's why I'm here.
That still doesn't explain why you're here though! Why is it that Frudo needs to throw it in the lava... oh wait! I know why!
*Because it's #5!

Frudo: Enough with the questions, please! Take this and leave, just go.
Frudo must be really impatient if he pushed us aside after asking one question.

Additional Comments:
One quick thing I'd like to add is that we never get any lore on the insantic clocks, so they just exist because... Frodo did it (Not Really)
Just like I said on a previous post:

Rating: F (30%)
PROS:
-Lord of the Rings stuff

CONS:
-Long Distance Travelling
-Generic Run Through Cave Section
-Fetch quest
-BORING

 

I agree with everything you wrote, except for this part. New Mt. Wynn is used for Arachnid’s Ascent only as well. In Lord of the Clock, mt Wynn was a plot device to destroy the Clock, and in arachnid’s Ascent, mt Wynn is used as a plot device to get lava to burn the webs to Arkadicus. Arachnid’s Ascent is still better, but both mount wynns are used as a plot device, so I don’t see the difference between them

 

I mostly just pointed it out as a small nitpick.
It is still a nitpick towards Arachnid's Ascent, though.

 

No, just no. Lord of the Clock is way too fetchy because you only have to talk to 3 npcs in the quest. It is really boring. I mean if they remake this quest with some cutscenes or some battle scenes or something else, it will be good, just like what they did to drought sand is fine, but you know, we hate fetch quests.

 

I love fetch quests if they are a LOTR reference.

 

Maybe if they remade the quest they could add a even bigger more mount-doomy mountain into wynncraft. That would be great.

 

i agree.

 

Thanks for the support.

 

A lot of people assumed that it would be the same quest so thet said no. If you think the quest should be added again reworked, show us what it would look like in the first post.

 

I suppose I could always do that. Thank you very much for the idea. By reworked I mean tweaked slightly, updated but not completely changed so still same story line.

 

agreeeeeee
