The Unknown!

[Ganbachi]

I was hoping for this when I heard yoshiP played skyrim. Skyrim has many secret quests hidden for players to stumble upon. It creates an adventure and story telling when you tell your friends you've woken up the other side of the planet from a certain drink.

Coincidentally, it is also proof that they already know what they are doing in regards to this, thus making this entire Rokien thread pointless, as usual.

But their is nothing wrong with expressing a desire for more of said content, and the technique to be carried over to ARR. The more it is expressed, the more likely someone of influence will see it and therefore more likely to make it in to ARR. Point found

Except nothing will be a 'surprise' or a 'secret' the very instant ANYONE finds it. Then they will plaster it all over every fansite and in the official forums. In fact, most people will not bother to hunt down the 'secrets' they'll merely wait for someone else to tell them where it is.

Yeah because we didn't see half the forums having a AWESOME time trying to find all the glowing stones before SE decided to plaster them on the map for us.

Take that as a great example as how hidden content can be fuled and not hurt by community places such as forums. It was a mad dash to find all the stones. What was the reward nothing but knowing that we found something the dev team slid in secretly in the patch.

Happy ending for all parties, the community got to have a blast figuring the positioning and possible meaning behind the stones and the rest of the community got to learn the locations. Why SE had to go and just plaster them on our maps for the quest is beyond me. Perfect oportunity to get people to actually explore the world before it's gone and they ruin it by giving you exact direction to every single stone on the map.

Another one of these threads?

[Bowen]

Didn't you already have a thread where you asked this?

SE should make an NPC of Rokien in ARR since he's essentially become a meme on this forum, follow it up with a neighbouring NPC that immediately dismisses whatever the Rokien NPC says and tells the player to move along.

I believe it's already in play Rokien, or at least in it's early stages (as given by examples in previous posts).

It's likely that if not exact, we'll see something similar in 2.0.

Good idea though I feel you could have worded it better for the sake of less "me me I I".

Yaaa, I only post really at work when it's slow, so I have to just slap something down. I always wanna edit it but, I always feel it's to late when I have time to get around to it. I'll do better next go around


Also thanks for your constructive criticism lol

People who don't want quests to be marked are the same people who just go online to any database or fan sites and find out what to do. So really, there's nothing preventing you from playing that way if you don't want to be given any information by the game. Just go on and talk to every single NPC out there hoping to find something, never read anything other than npc lines (that means no quest summary), and never access your journal. Maybe we should even change it so that quest journals have a vague description of what the quest is about so that you can never, ever, finish quests you undertook a long time ago because there's no way to know what to do unless you look it up online.

This is an MMO, there are no secrets. People post quests online and that info gets passed on to game lightning fast. And personally, I disagree with anything anyone suggests the moment the proposal amounts to adding an unnecessary hinderance to the game. Making me alt+tab and look for my quest giver or what to do online instead of just seeing quest and quest destination markers is exactly that.

Nothing to see here. Keep moving on people.

He has a well written post and is asking for discussion, you should read before you post
