The first one is a waste of time, and the second is a bigger - in more than one sense of the word - waste of time.

Nothing really to do except plod around looking at bare rooms without walls. The monsters that are there can be killed with your eyes closed. Required secret room(s) off rooms without walls, which makes finding them a pain - I didn't bother looking for it/them in the second one.

I really don't like knocking anyones hold, but this is either a joke or just plain ridiculous. As they often say on the IMdB forums, I want 30 minutes of my life back.

I mastered both sets of, err, level.

At least the hold is solvable, and there no completable rooms behind blue gates.

There was on room with a good idea

The hold has some naughty words in too.

Wasn't this hold uploaded to the holds board a while ago? Or was it deleted?

Edit:

Found it here.

So in #2 I have found 58 rooms (the 7x7 square, and columns of 5, 3 and 1 to the right of the square), yet the blue door is not down. I believe I have checked every edge for other rooms, yet I didn't find any others.

Ophelie 2, I would probably rate PG-13 because of language.

Keep posting,

I managed to download all of these holds during that brief period of time when they were uploaded. I personally don't mind swearing at all but I don't believe it's necessary at all in a DROD hold. My main gripe is that most of the rooms are just boring. Such a shame for what seems to be a 4 Hold series.

I'd recommend getting some testers involved and salvage the good stuff. There's definitely enough rooms to make a decent compilation.

I'm afraid filling rooms with queens hasn't made it any more interesting.

By the way, what happened to number 3?
(Oops, Pilchard beat me to it.)

If you can't take the criticism of your holds, well... I'm sure you know what to do.

I personally think these should be thrown into the incinerator. I am not impressed. Not the least. Try playing King Dugan's Dungeon or Journey to Rooted Hold at least to make your holds better. And if you find them boring, how are other people not going to? Try playing through them, and dump any rubbish rooms.

Although I read all those bad comments, I decided to download part 1+2 of the "princess ophelie holds". After finishing the first part, I thought "oh well, it can't become much worse", but it did. The second part was even worse.....

Why I dind't like this hold:

--> The rooms are very repetitive.
--> You seem to lack fantasy....
--> Every room consists of a empty setting and a few roaches/golems
--> You don't see the room boundaries.
--> Bad language (I am not offended, but some may be offended)
--> The story is incomplete/odd
--> Difficulty is sooooo low...

Why I liked this hold:

--> At least, its playable
--> Custom sounds.....

What can be done?

--> Play KDD/JtrH
--> Too hard? Try Tutorial holds... there are some good ones out there...
--> Read the architects toolkit or other tuts...
