Quests

[Glitchless]

I think there should be quests before release - and there will be.

Sounds like we should keep an eye on the Seer.

Sounds like you are probably right. I'm excited about it too.

Settle down there, Lord Shinobai, lets not get too excited yet.

We have no idea what these mysterious quests will lead to.

Yet.

well seeing as jeff posted it in ideas & suggestions then i think he wants us to suggestions on it so he has some idea of what players want to see in quests

I only hope it wont be the " bring me 10 dead rats" type of quests.
What I would love to see is quests related to the backstory of the game which complition would require colaboration between vast number of players.

[doctor-warlord]

you mean like a quest that requires you to group

I mean a quest that requires various groups ( guilds?) to work together. Eventually a succefull compleation of the quest could change the storyline of the game...for example make a whole zone disappear from the map...or a new zone appear...etc...

[doctor-warlord]

ohh that sounds interesting though doubt any zones will dissappear

well for me i would like to see a plot/story line that leads from boss to boss or area to area, as it stands now its just grind kill boss get loot hurray! as far as quests go i find it hard to imagine what a side quest would look like in Nod(besides the gather me 10 fishy sticks). not that i don't want to see any I'd just be surprised at whatever could be put in.

Win the support of each town's folk by bringing the head of each boss back untill they shower you with maidens and treasure?

Yeah, I'm really hoping the quests aren't only those mundane "kill 7 polar bears" and such. With the interface the way it is it'll be interesting to see how indepth quests can get. I do think though, even how "basic" certain features of the game might seem, there is still enormous potential for quests.

Story line in game definitely needed. Decker put it quite to the point.

Side quests will almost always have those simple monotonous ones that are boring. Their usual intent is that while you're grinding out xp on mobs you're getting a little something "extra" by completing them.

Quests that not every class/character type gets. I think to offer further incentive to try other classes some quests should follow only certain character types.

Unlockable skills leg. some fisherman sends you off to catch some enormous fish you go out hook it turns out its a rediculus shark or something its a boss fight to take it back to him haveing killed it and he gives you fish shot, an archery skill that makes your oppenent sprout fins and have difficulty breathing out of sea water. just a silly example but you know what i mean
