I apologize off hand if I seem callout-ish here Chris, but c'mon man. I'm in Level 7 and I've faced 3 out of the last 4 levels with Goriyas, Stalfos 2, and easy enemies. I have only seen one new enemy so far and the difficulty is seriously lacking, almost as easy as the 1st Quest. 2 was your hardest so far.
The audience of this is going to be hardcore NES gamers, like AlphaDawg, TSA, me, Gleeok, possibly Thor and Jeff Hansen, and TG. Do you really think THAT group is going to be impressed fighting like 2 Zols in Level 7, when in the 2nd Quest we had to fight a room of 6 Wizzrobes in Level 5? Also, out of the group I've played so far, 1 quest is New Quest difficulty level, the others are about James Quest difficulty level. The 3rd and 4th range between New Quest and James Quest difficulty level.
While I appreciate the honest-to-God NES approach (even better than mine), it's seriously lacking in the ingenuity, difficulty, and fun factor so far. If you're using Goriyas for the 4th time, why don't you do some new enemies things, like for example have another level of Stalfos that takes a few more hits and does 4 Hearts of Damage with its sword, or increase the Poison Heart drop rate on Blue Goriyas and Blue Darknuts so you can't use them as Heart Machines? Or maybe a few Goriya 3's, SOMETHING to spice it up. Right now I've 1-gamed your quest through 7 because of tripping over a Poison Heart and that's it.
Another suggestion might be making Level 5 Green/Blue and using the Vires as break-rules, and make Level 7 gold/blue and doing some Wizzrobe stuff in it.
7 needs a makeover in enemies, badly. I know you can do better, Titan's Quest: Director's Cut had bite to it.
BUGS:
Room 13 in 7 (4 Red Bubbles, 1 block), door does not open Block->Shutters (no flag on the block).
Your Blue Aquamentus doesn't seem to appear, seems glitched, and doesn't appear normally (boss room). You need to check that.
Also, for the record:
Lv. 4 is where a level in the 3rd Quest is, and my Level 3 is (but there's not much else you can do with the raft, so..... oh well)
Level 7 is where Level 3 is in the 4th Quest.
Nice job on Lv. 3's placement, about time someone took care of that damn tree not being Money Making!, lol.
