Moderate to Severe Bugs Mar Poet’s Palace DM Contest
Coinciding with the launch of Game Update 63 was the introduction of the Poet’s Palace ‘Dungeon Maker’ layout. Much to the consternation of testers, this layout went straight to the live servers without any player testing. The end result, is over a dozen moderate-to-severe bugs which make using this dungeon layout challenging for designers and hazardous to adventurers. As this dungeon layout is the key to a contest to drum up interest in the lacklustre Dungeon Maker feature, it’s hard not to see this as another stumble towards player-made content.
Cyliena has posted a detailed thread discussing these issues on the official forums.

They sure are hell bent on making this trash stick. First impression,s yadda yadda, they had pretty much already blew it IMO, and now this.
I’d just like a way to be able to loot my muteables and body loots and have an easy way to get rid of the dungeon finder garbage that fills my bags. Can they not set a value of like 4 copper or something on these so that itmes can be sorted by price still and you can easily get rid of them?

Lackluster?
All I hear about is the ‘Highly Successful Dungeon Maker’. Surely you’re mistaken Feldon.

While I am no designer the contest actually made me look at Dungeon Maker. I found that adding the looted beasties to my newly created dungeon list fairly emptied my bags. It was nice to see the roominess in the bags again.
DM looks like a nice feature. Something different added to the game. Not for everyone and that’s okay.
Too bad the bugs are there and I hope they get fixed quickly.

Typical of SoE lately. I am not really suprised by this.

One other builder and myself found a couple more bugs today. Wonder how long the bug list will be before they figure out which dev is in charge of dungeon maker?

The dev in charge is probably SmokeBlower’s nephew.

@Trueflight, yes it is typical as of late, they don’t like to hear it though.

If a bug is walking through a feature no one uses, does it still matter? Only if they’re having a contest using those woods.
