A Plea (Quest Timer)
-
I could also post an IC list, which would be the bulletin board they are posted in in game.
-
I do like the idea of a bulletin notice in game with the quest givers asking for help. Maybe one in shylocks with some of the shadier jobs and one in the world serpent with the really weird jobs.
-
I suppose if it's done well, a list would be nice. But there's something about a help wanted list somewhere IC that includes an assassination, a baby rescue, fighting an orc army in their castle and helping sanders catch his chickens that doesn't sit right.
-
We'd probably need the list in a few 'hubs'. But it'd be easy enough to do.
-
Why not make the list like the dot commands help you add to your journal?
-
Please do not make it add to the journal, it would be too long and unreadable just like the .command journal entry
-
A suggestion might be to add a few quests in some sort of rotation to the existing boards in game, so that there is no long list to trawl through but a specific few that are appropriate to the location. And maybe dms might buff the quest reward whilst it is on the board or some such to encoutrage the pc base to go do these targetted quests.
i understand a rotation would be more work over all but it would become obsolete fairly quickly as we all learn where the quests are ooc anyway.
eg shylocks board - assasination quest, orc castle, kobolds, drow, anything with an obviously dodgey feel to it.
Delicate workers required for a 'precise job' - details from XXX in the unquiet
spire - orc camp, trolls, ogres, adventure type things
reports from our man in the hullack detail orcs massing - find him in the outpost there
Hardcastle estate - law and order stuff, warehouse, stoned, etc
Agents paying for assistance with these high risk 'opportunites' for service
obviously my write ups are crap but you get the idea!

I have a list and make good use of it. Yet as I've stated once. Some quests are waaay too far away and just the time walking out to the quests is like half the quest and it still pays the same in both items, xp and gp like the closer ones, yet you spent 2x time since you did a lot of walking. Which is the main reason those who know these rare quests hardly do them. At least they aren't as far away as in v4.5
Got around 80 quests with lvl interval, party size and position of quest-giver(npc) written on notepad. I could copy-paste it to one of the dms depending on the concensus.
IMO I think it's fair because most of us playing coa aren't kids anymore and rly don't have time for all the jazz looking for new quests. Not to mention I have a feeling that a selected few abuse the fact they know these quests unlike others because some of them have heavy rewards when you got the right team.And God forbid those who say the timer should be removed. srsly. If that happened it'd be like Olouth said. Same quests over and over like on efu where they have like a quarter of the quests we got here. And tbh, if it's that big a problem you may be questing too much and rp'ing too little.
Sneak peak: the numbers after "," are party-size.

Zaviron why are you posting a list of quests in the very same topic the dm's stated they didn't want a list of quests to be visible in the forums?
-
Well, the silliness is, why is he even posting a list at all when we have a full list of all the quests? I mean, DMs track this stuff. We even track who does what quests, how many in their party, how long the quest takes, how often people fail it. We've got a ton of information.
We also just said we wouldn't want the list "only" on the forums. Since the idea would be everyone, whether forum lurker or solely in game player, should get to see it.

Chesire, apparently some dms want the list and some don't -> They have yet to agree upon it, though with moloch's statement it'll be both forum and ig.
At this point I see no reason to put something up. It's stupid that some players have this huge advantage over others and they will still have one even after the list is up because most ppl still don't know the loot tables. Just make the list on forum and ig already.
Nice to know Moloch, so you got all the info of quests? Then why spend time discussing whether you make it or not when it's that ez?
Besides it was only a fraction of quests ppl alrdy know and if ppl want the whole list from me I wouldn't mind supporting it. -
Well, the DM team don't make decisions individually. We discuss everything to death then act. We're a bureaucracy!

we have plenty of wandering npcs to give clues with, hell make the beggars that chase you across three screens actually give you something for the coin

THIS + 2–- paying for information is time honored tradition for good and evil folks :-)

Some of them already do…

We have that rumour system. Do -all- our citadel commoners use it? We could add all of the quests into those potentially as well. Might be a cool way to decide what quest to do, ask the commoner hanging out in the Maleen spire. :)
(note, AS WELL, not only here, that would suck)

im talking about the odd quests most don't know about. ive been playing here a long damn time and cant name 40 quests much less 90
-
Over the past few days I've managed to put together about 55 quests. Maybe 57. Ranging from solo-only level 1 quests to 7-12 caps. Still missing a solid 40 though. I WANT TO DO THEM ALL.
