I don't know what mission you are talking about... but my mission is not a very large map and has no tiny switch hidden under a table in a dark room... :erg:
There are two secret switches only and they have their normal size and are in bright light... And they are also optionnal since their only purpose is extra-loot...and if you played the mission, you know that completing the loot goal, even in expert, is very easy almost reproached sometimes.
About the goals-related items, the hidden ones's location are mentionned in readables, there's only the secret document which can be missed if you just pass and don't really pay attention but it's an expert only goal so I think it's obvious this one requires more attention from the player, a bit like the items to find in Forsaken : you don't pay attention, you miss.
Shards are the only ones you need in Normal and they are exposed, you just have to explore until you see them.
Anyway :

I base most of my thought from this document and as you will see, if some missions like Forsaken pleased everyone, it's not because my mission was overall worse, it's because Forsaken was better and convinced most of players while mine didn't enjoyed a minority who didn't found in Whistling the kind of challenges and gameplay they were looking for... or were just annoyed by the things I already mentionned in this thread and planned to fix. ;)
So, Username, if you want to point something wrong with my mission, please, give me what I want : facts.
Philosophy, feelings toward fms in general or what others did won't make me a better mapper because all of these have absolutely nothing related to my work.
If something was too hard to find, I want a name and an accurate one so I'll know what you're talking about and know if it was a good idea or not in my further project. :cheeky:

I already did. Go back to page 5 of this thread.

I enjoyed The Whistling of the Gears up until the
core explosion. Searching the whole map to find
the four core parts randomly scattered around was the most frustrating thing in the whole contest.

Oh ! That !
It's not an easy-miss thing then ! Just a little help to know where to go !
Well, in that case wait for the end of T2 Contest and let me a few weeks, this is one the things many asked for and that the patch will fix ! ;)
The location of the shards will be shown on the map and Garrett will notice you to check it ! :)

1. Room with chimney above the street where crazy killer is walking.
2. Machine room where you destroyed the core.
3. Trash machine in Scrappers Area.
4. On the rooftop covered by light of the lamp, opposite to the church.Funny thing that I'm replaying this one, and there's one thing I understood a year ago, but now not.
Where is the
"rooftop covered by light of the lamp, opposite to the church"? I mean, I'm on the rooftops near the church entrance, but cannot find anything like this.

If I remember correctly
lamp was on the roof with generators nearby somewhere close to Church.

Great mission! Aside from that, I was curious about a few things.
What's the story with the tower in the center in the map? When I got inside I thought it was the serial killer's dumping ground, but when I found the wizard on the top I didn't know what to think.
Speaking of the murderer, was he tied to the main plot somehow? The dewdrop connection made me think he was associated with the pagans and/or Tudor, but I didn't find anything solid
Also, what the heck is going on at the abandoned factory? I read the note about the guy who poked his nose in there and got in trouble, but there was nobody there but that beggar there when I went.
Also, was that shadowy guy on the balcony close to crane supposed to be a Keeper, or was it something more sinister?
Maybe I'm looking too deep into this, but personally I found the mission to be very engaging, and I can't help but get wrapped up in all its mysteries. :)

Hehe, what you mention are what we call "untold stories", made to emphasize the atmosphere and the lore.
I ofc know what those are, how these starts and ends but I would ruin the experience If I had to tell them and try to break your game theories! ;)
All I can say is that :
- DewDrop has no connection with the main plot, it's just a nod to an user in here
- The mage at the top of the tower is also an easter egg. Since my entry was anonymous, I hide him there just to reveal my identity to those who found their way to the top of the tower with a secret boss-like combat with a RPG type of reward if you manage to kill him.
As for the rest, I fear I cannot tell you, these are secrets. :P

It's still on the workbench but I am more focused on The Black Parade for now so I can't really fully work on it. But it's still a thing and won't be cancelled
