Got nerfed.

quote:

A few months ago on the forums, you guys mentioned that you'd like to see the Quest Log re-done. We promised that it would be worked on in a few months, and that time is here! (No thanks to the time travel fairies, who I believe are continually flipping the pages of my calendar to make me think it's March.)

So I had a chat with Cysero, sat down across from Rolith, waited until he put DOWN the nerf gun (note: nerf gun projectiles do NOT stick to long hair, but they DO get tangled in it when fired from a close enough distance), and told him we needed to talk about redoing the quest log.

I started dissecting it this afternoon, making a list of things I'd like to change, but we want to know what YOU would like to see in the new Quest Log. Give us ideas, feedback, thoughts, opinions, and any other synonyms for those words which involve you telling us what you think about the Quest Log by posting in this thread.

Maybe add the "War at See" event into it.
That way it can be accessed quickly and easily.

You could even put in the NPC's for the zone into the page of the zone.
That would be pretty cool.
Might take some time, but patience is a virtue.

I have to agree with Warrior. A favorite list would work out well. Maybe having a list of quests that you can manually add for quick and easy access?
I would also like to see some sort of section that can separate each of the quest chains. What I mean is separate normal quests from story line quests.

I would like to see a 'compeleted quest' list, that shows what quests you've done for then you know which ones you are done with instead of ending up going to, say Artix in the Necropolis, and then trying to unlock and Paladin armor when you've done it all already.

Well. I know its easier said than done. But AQW is a nice model of what the Quest Log should be.

Storyline events in order. From the Beginning to Seppy's most recent dissecting of Drakonnan.

But like the FAQ'ed thread is saying: Try to add those quests that will help us understand the story.

Yay quest log! I would love what the warrior z said, makes farming 1008 times easier. I would love it if it got it's own little place in the interface, not your dragon stats. I love that the DF team pays attention to the players, and makes sure that everything is fine! You guys are like my favorite game creators ever. (I mean all of the AE team). By the way, why does Rolith have a nerf gun and why did he use it on you? Did you lie to the code monkey about pie? Did you Alac?

A favorites list is an amazing idea. Here are some ideas:

- A recommended level beside each area that does not have level based enemies

- To actually have the baby dragon quest in order in the book so we don't have to go to twilly between each step to know whats next.

- Separating DA only quests from the free player ones?

- A hometown button in the quest log? I know its already under options, but might make it easier to find for newer players etc.

- A button to go to not only the area's but also to whomever gives you armors? For example a button directly to zorbak for Necro, DK for DK, etc. Most armors are from people in the town anyways so shouldn't be a big issue, but would be cool.

- Maybe a symbol showing when you have completed an entire locations quests, or a quest chain? Some star, or check mark or something?

- A full heal button in the quest log that works as long as your NOT in a quest. Just make it turn off in quests like the teleport button doesn't work.

- If you continue to bring back old wars, and make them permanent, maybe a seperate section in the Quest Log for old wars? Would start with a "WARS" button, which then leads to a page with "Xan War" "Fire War" "Monkey War" "etc etc. I really like this idea.

- Have the dates of the release of each event? Maybe when you hover over the quest it shows the date it was released? Prolly takes a lot of coding, but an idea.


That's just off the top of my head, if I think of more I will let ya know.

I would like to see a complete list of quests split into their respective chains and with a green tick next to the completed one's

also I think a favorite list is a good idea and maybe add a list of drops for each quest? :P

 Please make sure. You sort of the bugs with it. Like I heard people using it.. And somehow.. Quests/Buttons would be missing from that Area.

The bossfights from each Friday the 13th and Sneevilchaun wars should become available when the date rolls around. (sort of like other holiday events)
Now Friday the 13th is definitely not a holiday but storyline stuff has been in their bossfights. Same for the Beach war *shudders*

Anyone for roast chicken? (AQW/DF Bugs)


 Some great ideas :D

"- A full heal button in the quest log that works as long as your NOT in a quest. Just make it turn off in quests like the teleport button doesn't work." sounds good!

I'd quite simply would like to see the total of quests (permanent ones) and how many you have completed and then the event's the character was present on for example my character was created during the Ice war back in 2006 so in the book all major wars/events could appear.
If you can make it so we can replay them great if not just saying that the character was there is cool :)

It shouldn't be a quest log... It should be a quest MAP!!!

Well, a button to take you to your house would be nice.

Fixing the Osprey Cove button would be nice too...other than that...maybe a Saga button (takes you to the Dragon Egg Saga, the Orb Saga, Bacon, Storm, etc...)

Er...we have one right below the screen...

Maybe being able to turn the page like with the falconreach book in damien's room would be cool. This should be a on/off feature.

Well if the Wars button comes into play they shouldn't re-release some of the rares. IE the 3rd Frost series and some other stuff though the MAIN issue I see here is.

Most wars have some plot relevance, the issue is there will be a point where there is just plain to many so it might not be the best idea folks.

Think about it really. The one thing I want to see is simple a SCROLL BAR...I HATE having to click over and over and over to get to a certain point it's really annoying.

@Shadow: well, I meant wars that were single wars, holiday wars would stay the same, and only show up during forstival, thanksgiving etc etc.
