Favorite "Classic" Approach

Before all this really terrible serverside scripting that the server has now.

I miss those guild wars I hated so much at the time. So much hand pain during and after. On a side note though, you should of heard the complaining when Thor brought back hera's. People have got lazy and don't want to take the time to actually do a long, hard quest. They want instant gratification then complain later about being bored.

He could have given full hearts instead of heras. Having a long hard quest for 1/5 of a heart is unreasonable.

That's exactly what I thought, and apparently the developers at Zelda too.

Huge Quests = Big Heart / Full Heart
Side Quests = Heart Piece / Hera

There is an obvious logic in doing so, but no amount of heras or even full hearts can compensate me for the amount of boring stock puzzles I had to go through to do that quest.

Yeah, but what determines A Long Hard Quest really? Everyone submitted a Long Hard Quest in my day, and it was usually "If you has the gyuild tag you gets 5 fullhearts and goldsword lolz!"
So, everyone gets a hera, and instead of "17 heart-chests and the game's full", it became "152 hera-chests, 17 hera huts, and you can add more heras than you need to make other quests optional".
But I was all for making the game longer at all costs, so.
