Originally posted by Mors-Subita That's not an investigation quest, that's the story quest they have made dead easy so aaaanybody, including me can figure it out quite quickly. The investigation quests are the ones that are marked with a green icon, go check out the one you get from the guy in the Church. I got stuck on tier 3 (or 4?). Had to get some hints from global to get further. Should probably have teamed up with a friend of mine that likes riddles. ;) |

Originally posted by Blackbrrd Yeah, this. I noticed that some people apparently liked to skip or ignore those types of quests. |

I'd play the game at release despite not liking the combat at all, but nah, after I realized that the game has a monthly fee AND a cash shop.... just no. I kinda enjoyed the investigation missions etc. in the beta and the modern day setting is rather appealing, but the game lacks polish and I will not pay for a sub when I can just play GW2 instead. Shame. |

Originally posted by QuicklyScott Some one give this man a prize. My thoughts exactly. TOR is a 9.2 to someone who just started playing MMOs. To a veteran MMO player the score would be about a 7 or less, SWG was a much better Star Wars game in the eyes of many. |

Originally posted by smh_alot As I recall, the serial killer mission was another side-quest offered by norma creed(or whatever her name was, the one iwth the shotgun to the SW). At that point I was full and didn't go back for it. And you are right, there are quests I didn't do. I didn't do the quest about the remote-controlled plane and the EMP at the skate-park, either. *shrug. Did I miss some side-quests? indubitably... How many quests did I do? Well, I don't know the exact number, but I got to t2 in pistols, and was working on my rifle skills, so I would guess that it was quite a few... I also didn't say that it was not interesting, but it was not challenging...

Originally posted by Mors-Subita All I can say about it is that the quests, even if you encounter the regular generic fetch this and kill this quests too just like in any other MMO, on average still require more alertness and thought than what you find in other MMO's. And if you want challenge, I can seriously recommend the missions that have a green laptop icon, the Investigation missions, and besides them the Sabotage missions. |

You all just got trolled hardcore. the OP made a silly comment the game sucks and then said "oh no you called me a name on the internet"
He never gave any sort of explanation |

Originally posted by smh_alot THIS Even the most generic kill and fetch type quests had one or two stages where i had to look for clues, look at the maps and images to complete it. And i had these little 'use your brain' moment in almost every quest i have done so far. |

This game is going to be awesome because of the fact that it'll self-weed itself of people not interested in the setting or the puzzles. Sure, you can go kill and fetch as fast as possible, but every NPC that gives quests also averages 5 points of fully voice-overed dialog each being at least 3 layers deep in conversation (clicking until you get the green check). All of which provide background and answers to things you'll encounter later. It's a game to relish and play slowly. Imagine 3 faction PvP with a noticable lack of combat focused min-maxing rofl-stompers. See ya ADD kids! I can't wait. |

Originally posted by Mors-Subita Ah, but it seems like you missed all the investigation quests. The quest you mentioned above that only took you 15-20 seconds to figure out is the main story mission, which is dead easy compared to the investigation missions. In other words, if you like puzzles and/or adventure games, just go back into the game and visit the church or Norma creed and pick up the investigation missions there. (The quests marked with a green icon). |

Originally posted by Cyberdeck7 Not with the cluncky animations and crappy graphics in 2012. As I said many times this is a console game they stretched as an MMO. Would have been as good as an RPG - the MMO part just seems to go the same way as TOR. |

Originally posted by Sameer1979 This isn't what I have found, I finished enough quests to fill the inner circle of assault rifles and then I banked around 100 AP, pretty much every quest is go to the target area and from there it is self explainatory. A few times the target area has been off but the target mob would be in an earlier stage/tier red marker. Assault rifle is much easy mode for killing but at least 19 out of 20 quests are straight foward go here and: pick up or click something, click something in your inventory, kill something quests. Aside from the bugged or broken quests it is good they are so straight foward. Repeating quests over and over is the only way to gain the true in game currency and other things. The few puzzle quests can be hard though and that is due to being vague or ambigiuos. |

Originally posted by Cyberdeck7 There is no way people who like min-maxing are going to let TSW go by without trying to break the game. 500 abilities they can combine to make their own overpowered "class". Sorry to dissapoint you. ;) |

I like the generic cultural references and stereotypes in anime. The cultural blending is interesting to me too. I'm an Oregonian (American) of Danish descent. I see the west stereotyped quite often. I also see a lot of culutures in the larger cities in the area that don't represent native culture or Northwest culture, but I don't find it offensive. Maybe those other guys are just easily offended or like to speak and worry for everyone else who might be offended.
I wish I could say the same about GW2. I signed up for a beta test and now I get emails trying to sell me seats to the beta weekend. At least Funcom made keys available for you try and now you know you don't like it without having to waste $60. |

Originally posted by tares You again. I can't believe that you've spent almost all your posts on bashing TSW or AoC, almost as if you hate FC with all your guts as if they've killed your girlfriend. Is there really no MMO that you enjoy, that you like to talk about? All I see you do whenever you post is bashing TSW - or AoC - nothing else. Looks like there's not 1 bit you like about TSW, not even its quests, can't say I'm surprised. Agree to disagree, so far I had a good time with the missions and quests. Wish you luck with whatever MMO can draw you away from rant campaigning on forums against a game you despise - oh, about quests that are nothing special, TERA's quests really suck big time and makes you want to shoot yourself in the head, but hey, for some they're awesome, so I guess tastes differ. |

Originally posted by tares Yeah maybe we are playing different games then. KIll, fetch escort tasks or quests are staple of MMOS and they are not going anywhere. Even GW2 has it. But in TSW it is not just all straight up shoot them up and collect reward. I have run through Kingsmouth 3 times now and still didn't get bored of missions, in Tera for example i didn't even last the first time. |

Originally posted by CujoSWAoA If it doesn't appeal to the masses, then it is a failure. Thats the mmo community mentality now. I believe the game will definitely have it followers like any other mmo, but will be a niche crowd of players. This is probably a good thing for the die hards, keep out the WoW generation players that are used to high fantasy rich colorful themes and keep more of a older audience of mmo gamers that like this style of mmo gaming. I got a feeling the TSW community will say to players that don't take a liking to this game that GW2 is that way ---------->

Originally posted by DannyGlover You are entitled to your clearly elitist opinion. I would like to point out that because you spin a quote a certain way, doesnt make it an accurate depiction. No where do i claim all koreans would be offended by the choice of level design. I say quite clearly it is my opinion, that it is an annoyance that results in personal alienation for me personally, and that one could argue that others might feel the same. If people like you cant read that correctly and have to make everything hostile for the sake of your own ego, there is little i can do about it other than ask you nicely to act like a mature adult. You called out no one, your opinion is just that and even though you are entitled to it, I think your attempts at belittling and egotism hurt whatever opinion you may have. Call me ignorant or uneducated, if it helps fit your confirmation bias then go for it. I'll disagree with your "assessment" and do so in a mature manner, like an adult should. |
