Hard Puzzle Box

[Wynellewe Gr]

Sowhat makes the sort of extremely difficult jigsaw puzzle that adults love to be challenged by? Firstly, the image itself either needs a huge amount of similar detail, repetitive colours, or often both. Then our team of puzzle experts add to the magic by creating a wooden puzzle cut that will confound even the most experienced puzzlers. The most difficult jigsaws often have tessellated shape pieces that interlock in many different ways, as well as irregular edges to make them even tougher. Ingenious and frustrating all at the same time, but always exhilarating to complete. Throw yourself into your next challenge and immerse yourself in a difficult wooden jigsaw puzzle from Wentworth.

Hoever, since the last update I am unable to make any progress. I am unable to win anything. Even skirmish and dunguons on lvl easy. Even when the opponent are indicatie as having the same gear score, for some reason they are able to hit a lot harder then me. If you want players to play your game this needs to be improved. If you cannot win battlesyou cannot earn gear or shards Needed to be able to continue the story.

Since the update launched I have found it near impossible to make any progress in the game. The story mode chapter I am on has a higher power level by a normal expected margin; previously it might have been a tricky fight, but certainly not impossible.

The Daily Event and the 3 day Event Dungeon have become ridiculously difficult and are not worth even attempting to play anymore. When I get wiped out after two hits from the enemy something is wrong with the feature.

Since this is clearly a known issue (which I also submitted a report on,) I think that it will make the game more fun for me to give it a break until the next update. Losing literally every battle I play does not make me or anyone else love this game.

Steps to make it happen again

Please detail the steps taken to trigger this bug. The more detailed the breakdown, the easier it is for us to test in-house. apply the last update to a low-level character. Looking through the bug reports, I see other players with a similar issue.

Note: I only have 1 hero and do not wish to begin the story again with another until this one finishes. Dungeons and skirmishes are merely a means to be able to continue the story, which I am enjoying!

Unfortunately, last Update made the game actually unplayable at any rate for me. Before that I had a slow progression even with the main story, but I knew that If I really wanted to go on with that, I always managed, earlier or later. Dungeons were tough in hard mode, but I had a nice and balanced challenge in Normal, not even considered Easy since it actually was as the name suggested: easy. I also enjoyed PvP content and Events, whose gradually increasing difficulty made them just a little boring because of their length, but challenging in the latest part of each one and basically rewarding.

What I DID notice was that leveling up gear was unbalancingly difficult compared to leveling up character. This created me increasing difficulties in completing all battles, both dungeons and skirmishes, because my gear stayed out of date, while monster power kept on increasing, yet remaining not utterly overwhelming in Normal Mode. Anyway, this compelled me to switch to Easy mode with no significant progression on gear level for a long, long, long time. Way too long. Few shards, always too difficult or randomwise generated and equipment required ever more of them. Too many.

FYI, a lot of people are talking about these issues daily in chat. If you all really wanted to know more, then one or all of you should be appearing in game chat and actually requesting people to come to the forums and provide this feedback.

I have been playing this game for quite some time now and I have been a Puzzle Quest fan since the very 1st version came out almost 15 years ago. I am rooting for this game and I really want to see it succeed.

That being said, I think the decision to drastically increase the damage and health/armor/resistance of game Enemies during the 0.38 update was very bad decision. Because of this, even though I have a character of every class leveled to 50 and a high Citadel level as well, I am facing impossible odds with every character despite great loadouts (including 1 to 4 Legendary items, the rest being mostly Epic with a few Rares thrown in - no Uncommon or Common items).

After 0.38, I am only hitting about 30% winning with only one loadout on one character, my Berserker. I am running into the game timing out just as much on battles when I am not just destroyed by the Enemy in one shot for every other Character at level 50 (91) with great loadouts.

I recently put together my first puzzle, it took a week for someone to solve it. Which after the several traditional cache's I have hid that took one or two days at most, I became easily hooked to hiding puzzle cache's.

Some of the WORST puzzle caches are the toughest ones and often those can be very unsatisfying. When solvers have nothing to go on and are just 'stabbing in the dark' - this can be quite unstatisfying even when you finally do solve it. There are a few too many of these around.

The BEST puzzle caches are *solvable*, difficult, and satisfying, with a logical flow from the start to the finish. There should be some clue somewhere to tell you which way to proceed in the puzzle.

Editing, sorry, that wasn't meant to be a thread killer or anything. But I also agree with other things benh57 said; very difficult, but solvable, are the best. And you get a real sense of accomplishment if you pull it off without any hints from the owner.

If I had a choice i'd nominate The Dragonfly Scroll as my favorite puzzle find. This cache was hidden back in May of 2002 before the puzzle designation was implimented. Snapplez was way ahead of the game when it came to puzzles.

Second cache that I thought was well done was A Mystery Cache by AB4N. I solved the cache before anyone else. I swore an oath of secrecy to the owner, and was quite entertained by the 20 plus emails I received begging for hints.

Hey Guys, I hope somone can help me with this one. It is called "Patience and Sincerity" and is located in Greenville, SC. You must talk to a Pandorabot to obtain the coordinates to the cache. Everyone is going crazy over it because it is next to impossible. See if you can help me to figure it out. BTW: this is probably the hardest one I've ever seen.

I'll be the first to say it's sort of considered bad ettiquette (which I see I've spelled wrong, but don't know how to fix) to ask for help for specific puzzles in these forums. Besides, this is the only pandora I know anything about Good stuff though, if you're into internet radio stations.

There's always The Key to the Cryptonomicon - seems to make most finders work for weeks on it. And you can do it from the comfort of your home - if any of you want to try it, I'll be glad to check your finished coordinates...

One shy of enigmatic is very evil. As far as I know there are 6 red herrings. I've only found 2. B) I haven't finished it yet but I've found the start of the puzzle. If you want to try it here's a hint. A QR code is the start of the puzzle.

I haven't looked at Spiderfish but that's exactly the kind of puzzle that I really don't care for. I prefer something that has an obvious first step (or steps) that draw you in so that you feel that you're starting to make progress. Compare a "guess what I'm thinking" puzzle that one might stare at for hours, days, or weeks before any progress whatsover to the one mentioned in the previous post (Key to the Cryptonomicon) and you'll see several obvious things to look at. There's are a couple of images that might used steganography (one of which consists of ones and zeros on a black background), an obvious cipher (not not necessarily obvious how to solve it), a link to the owners web site, and that's just the beginning. There are many pieces to puzzle all tied to a common theme. It took me over a month to complete it.

Our Swine Flu puzzle cache has won the title of "most difficult puzzle of the area" at some local puzzle solving event once (we got a geocoin as prize for that too). Lots of finds on it because it's a "rare" D/T combination and people have been sharing solutions. Only a handful of people/teams (maybe 3 or 4 at most?) have actually solved it start to end without hints. To my knowledge, anyway.

I think its quite clearly this one, at least ones I know of in my area and state. Coords are in the Pacific Ocean but most likely its in Washington State. Out since 2007, and not found. Owner is still active (most likely sock puppet) so its still there. Go find it. You probably need to know how to solve his other puzzles in order to figure this one out.

Hardest puzzle cache? Have a gander at GC6B94X. The hint refers to a famous novel/film. You'd think it would be helpful but it isn't. CO wont give a hint. The ONE person who has found it has given a couple of vague hints like "it's a unique cipher" "its more cryptographic than a visual puzzle" and "it can be solved with a computer or pen and paper"
