Where did all the good stuff go....

[olyblast]

Im a returning player from release date and one thing i noticed is "WHERE DID ALL THE QUESTS GO." i mean i understand that you all pushed the Withered aegis back but come on where did they all go, and how long do we all think that they are going to stay pushed back, i mean are they really that happy just sitting in their little blighted areas not destroying the races of istaria. and watching us grow and repopulate. that is not how any story ever goes in my book or any book. When was the last time good totally triumphed over evil and they just took their butt whooping and said "ohh well guys i guess we gave it our best shot".

And while im at it where did all the mobs go, i mean we got the werewolves on an island right. well they are dogs and or part dogs anyways, and dogs swim right well they should be like a werewolf pack leader that leads them off the islands or whatever in search of human blood cause its all tasty and they like it or something. Now as i walk around Istaria where there were once mobs there are plots, LMFAO. come on now how many plots do we all need and who is going to buy a 26x26 plot when it can hold barely one building or 10 silos.

dont get me wrong im not ranting and i am glad to be back but just disappointed at some of the changes but i guess thats what happens when the game gets sold like 3 or 4 times or whatever happened. i think that in the next few months that the HZ dev team should focus on maybe coming up with a couple nice story lines cause as i talk to people i keep hearing the same thing you want quests go be a dragon. now fun as this may sound i dont think its fair to any of the other classes or anything . I have been composing a short story on word and when i get it done i hope to post it here i came up with the inspiriation from this game in the short time i have been back and i would like to see the devs maybe use it to add a couple quests here and there and maybe a lil something else. well that is my idea and i hope to get the story posted in the next few weeks and give any who want to use it authorization to do just that.

I'm not sure which quests you mean. The only quests I can think of from "back when" that were removed were the old "kill # of x" tasks, and those sucked anyway. There are plenty of quests, and plenty of mobs around - they're just in different locations. Try looking up a Town Marshall or Trophy Hunter in any of the racial cities - they'll direct you to the right town for your level, and then they will tell you what you can kill and where.

Darkstaff small crystal fragment, darkstaff crystal. There was a quest where you had to kill some undead mob I think out of Kion, I think might have been a level 30 warrior quest...that one was downright brutal (but awesome, once you were able to kill him). The old version of Aroah's was pretty tough also; although that's still in game, just have to kill fyakki instead of the old mylocs.

I remember that enraged glowing wisp was probably one of the meanest mobs ever designed, IMO that guy was tougher than the enraged radiant...and he's pretty wimpy for a T6 and enraged to boot.

I used to love running through the tree covered road on the way to wolf's paw and run into Fang and his werewolf buddies.

Here are some that i can recall of the top of my head, now given that was 4 years ago so i dont rem all of them.

1.There was a quest that started somewhere and you had to go out into the desert of tazoon to kill some named out there. around the canyons where those bone things were.

2. in dalimond up stairs of the vault and connie there were a couple guys that gave quests i cant rem them in detail. now there is no npc up there let alone any quests

3 In new rachival there was some quest chain that was actually kind of long to do where you got to kill a bunch of diff mobs and the last one was a named.

4 i could have sworn i remembered a couple crafting quests.

now im not complaining but im just stating that this game has lost something along the way and my idea was to maybe see if the devs could put a little something back into the game in the manner of quests cause i know that makes the time go by at least for me and im sure there are others. i think quests are a good side distraction sometimes than just plain old hack and slash and then repeat just to grind out the xp. ill tell you what i love lvl 1-25ish cause i found a bunch of quests to do between kion sslanis and NT, but i was looking around dali where everyone says that its the next step and i cant find anything except the wedding quest, but ill keep looking and see what i come up with, and no, kill x amount of "..." is not a quest that is just lazy mans substitute for content. ohh yeah i have not found any quests like there used to be about the lore of the land and where the W.A. went or if we banished them or WHAT.......

and whatever happened to those mobs that were ungodly tough and required like at least 6 people wacking on them like fang and that ruxus guy, i rem people used to pull some guy back to aug just to get the guards to help them.

Man I always loved running past the Werewolves. Ya just never knew when one was going to be on the road. Ohh and the wraith lord who sometimes spawned on the road as you exited the walls of Aug.

The gnome-family near the portal in Falathien aren't there anymore either (so the quests they had are gone too). The fisherman out on the docks in Dalimond doesn't seem to have a quest anymore. Another fisherman, near Sslanis on the beach... don't think he's around anymore either.
Making an open portal on Trandalar (Acul) for which attuning isn't neccessary has taken away the adventure of crossing the ice and the snow-storm-isle, then climb the sorcery-tower at the end of that isle, to finaly get to a portal to Trandalar.
Just a few that jump to mind.
There are new ones that weren't around then also, though. But would have been nice to get the new, and not loose the old, I think.

I remember being so young and afraid to run through there. I knew Fang was going to get me! Literally made my heart race. I took much pleasure in going back there and getting my revenge.

That type of "not knowing what is around the bend" was so awesome!!

I lived in Morning Light and would hit auto-run while porting to give me the jump on AoP and friends if they were hanging around the pad. Cursed wolves were all over the place and gave me a hard time when harvesting cobalt ore. As to quests it would be nifty if they could make a quest generator. NPCs would pop up a quest indicator at random. When a player greeted them a quest would be given based on that players lvl. Might even be a craft quest. "Greatings (player) I promised (random NPC) that I would deliver (crafted items based on current school and lvl), could you help me out with this?" Or something similar in an adventure quest. One would never know where they might run across a quest or what it would be.
