BETA TEST ROADMAP IS UP!

[Elexia]

Yes! This! And I hope its the version from FF12. That would add 10 points to this games hype meter. For me at least. Seeing the posting on the wall/board, going out and Hunting them down. I hope the red circle, on the map, does not show up for this. I want to actually find the mob myself, with the direction giving to me.

It's a bestiary and if it was like that, it's an MMO from the new era where hand holding is the norm, so you'd be pointed into the exact location xD.

Yeah, screw that crap! Let's go back to the good ol' days of when NPC's would ask you to do something but give you no information as to how to complete the task they just asked you to do! It's not like this is a video game or anything...! Let's make everything as much of a chore as possible!

Agreed, clicking "Auto-Route" which moves you to an exact location as seen in many new asian MMOs is definitely the best way to do things, progress etc etc. Not being lazy at all etc.

LOL Yeah, let's go back to the days when an npc said "Hey! Go here! I'll mark the location on your map!" only they didn't mark the location, so you either

A. Spent hours looking for the place hoping to stumble across it by luck

B. Got another player to show/tell you where it is, or

C. Had to log off and look for it online.

Because having an NPC tell you where what you're looking for is is no fun. No fun at all. No, the more hours you spend frustrated as heck, looking for the location of the quest, the better! Heck, I even do that in real life! Like when I have the GPS running in my car to tell me where a new location is downtown, I just have it set to get me to downtown. Then I turn it off and drive for hours trying to find the place! Sure, it costs me gas money and a lot of time! But actually getting directions to the place you want to be? Where's the fun in that!?!?

Yeah, because that's exactly what's going to happen.

It's weird, you had to look elsewhere to find the information, yet you still enjoyed the quest! Now, imagine if that stuff was in the game from the beginning! Same quest, taking you to the same places...only you didn't have to spend 3+ hours trying to figure out what to do!

People seem to think that having an indication of where to go or what to do in a quest implies there's no substance to them. Those people are wrong, and should shut up.

That what i'm saying i enjoy the quest due to the storyline and how hard it was to get done due to where i had to go and die. Now you can easy do that without wasting 2hours of my time just trying to find the area/looking up information. We need more fun and rich storyline not boring x,y,z.

Hehe, yeah...sorry, my post kind of makes it sound like I wasn't agreeing with you. I'm on your side! *highfives*

[Phe]

simply as that.

people can read.


when all the necessary info is in the NPC dialogue or in the quest log there's no need for blinking arrows and stuff.
this isn't a racing game for retards where there is a bright and colorful racing line marked on the street.
