I'm hit with a puzzle. (Wildstar does that in spades.)

You use your macrobinoculars to discover the button sequence that the little blue alien used to raise the laser grid blocking your way. It's based on temperature, the longer ago the button was pressed, the colder it is. That one actually makes sense. It's really neat. <br /><br />Most of them however, are not like that.<br /><br /><br />I loved the Theoretika, it's one of my favourite missions in the game. But I loved it for the spooky atmosphere and change of pace from the normal SWTOR fare, rather than any actual puzzling.Guidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882687017712412137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-25484075322448575422016-04-27T07:28:42.186+01:002016-04-27T07:28:42.186+01:00I thought I included the macrobinocular stuff by m...I thought I included the macrobinocular stuff by mentioning the Shroud quest line. :)<br /><br />If you've never done the HK-51 storyline, I would recommend it.

I've always been sort of curious about the Theoretika, even though I'm not interested in the HK part, which seems to be the only reason to do it.<br /><br />I admit there's sort of a balance for me between how natural the puzzle seems (is it a sensible part of the story/environment, or is it like that corridor in Galaxy Quest), and how hard it is. I'm more tolerant of difficult puzzles the more they seem natural...and more tolerant of random nonsensical puzzles if they're easy.depizanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718932582443559617noreply@blogger.com
