LPQ Combo stage

[ukboy]

Hello!

With the server population not so high, can we look into having the combination stage of LPQ removed? The PQ on average takes about 25 mins and add that in with people not wanting to PQ - it makes getting the ring harder for newer players.

I'm open to other suggestions as well!

Less inclined to remove a core part of an iconic PQ, but curious if we can find another way around this. Lets see what others think.

Maybe instead of the combo - making it a math problem?

In post-bb, they implemented an item which you could drop on the platforms to count as a player. It was a cute puppy. Give cute puppy.

Is that true?! That's kind of awesome. Can you share a link for reference?

Wait, if you drop items on each plat, wouldnt you have to loot the item and drop on the next plat, per itteration? Sounds like adding a new layer of hell to the most hellish pq. But it would enable us to run with less people, so the flexibility is appealing.

Perhaps instead of changing this stage, we could change other aspects. Maybe the # of coupons needed per stage? So basically, instead of hacking at a single stage to lighten the time-to-completion, maybe we can hack slightly at all stages to reduce the overall time rather than 1 stage's time. Open to more thoughts

Yep, you do indeed have to move the puppies yourself.
