Originally posted by cutthecrap I agree the other poster was WAY overexaggerating how questing was in this game but also just pointing out there are plenty of traditional quests in this game like all themeparks but there are enough of the other types to keep things more interesting that most MMOs I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

Originally posted by Aerowyn Would you agree that you could skip 95% of those kill quest? Maybe even 99% of them?
I know personally I am happy to get one of those, so I can just relax. |

Originally posted by Aerowyn I think you are kind of exagerating...yes there are kill x of y quests but they are by FAR the minority. you will do alot of other quests in between doing kill 5 of these types of zombies. It was actually funny, because the minute I got a quest like that I threw a mental fit...why do I have to do what every other game makes their entire experience....then I said, "oh....that's why i wanna play this game....cuz I dont have to mindlessly grind kill quests all day".... |

Originally posted by Devilock I wouldn't say FAR honestly i'd say a decent portion at least 25% are the kill x type my only issue with them is the length(Tiers) and yes for the most part you could skip many of them making them a much smaller %. I honestly don't mind some kill x quests anyway for instance the kill the named mobs all over one wasn't bad. And like I said there is enough variety in the quests you shouldn't find yourself bored with repeating the same kind of quest over and over like TERA. I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today.

Originally posted by Kuppa Sorry, you might disagree but I find the monsters in TSW among the most interesting and intriguing ones I've encountered in an MMORPG. As for the types of quests, yes, there are a lot more quests that are no 'kill x of y' at all, and no it definitely isn't about killing zombies only, not even in Kingsmouth and certainly not beyond that. What game have you been playing?? |

I'm not bashing anything or anyone, just want to say this:
People said WoW was going to be a niche audience type game because it was too casual compared to the current MMO's at that time (EQ, Lineage etc.) and look how that turned out.
I'm not saying that's what will happen here and TSW will become the biggest MMO or anything, but I believe that gamers want smarter games nowadays, and TSW is probably the only current MMO that fits that slot. |

Originally posted by Kuppa Is this visually interesting? If so, then yes, many of them are. In terms of abilities and fighting them, not so much. Combat remains the weakest component PvE side in this game, IMO of course.
Kuppa, Do you want a CB key because they give one out to people who have spent time on the other side. Then you can decide for yourself whether or not some of these claims have merit, at least in your eyes. In my opinion, there is an awful lot of exaggeration about TSW on both sides, but if you want in, let me know. "Loading screens" are not "instances". |

Originally posted by cutthecrap I was referring specifically to mobs. I have no clue how you found the mobs in kingsmouth to be "ingenious"....Im assuming you mean they are clever and interesting to fight and that you are not talking about how they look. Because they were generic MMO mobs 101 for me. They had no clever or interesting AI or skills, they would whack at me and sometimes use an area of effect ability didn't see anything really special. You guys make it sound like they are amaizing mobs, thats why Im wondering if its CB EDIT: btw, some actually look pretty cool.

Are we allowed to at least try both TSW and GW2, and heaven forbid even like both?

Originally posted by Aerowyn I'd be curous to see an official breakdown of the quest system by investigation/fedex/kill/hybrid quests. My guess is that maybe 25% of them are pure kill quests. I think a lot of them are hybrids, as in search out information on something in multiple steps culminating in some fight. I think the main story shines, with a nice mix of figuring things out with very little information to go on and data that has to be collected from the environment. These are really enjoyable and can be frustrating but in a good way. In between these quests, though, is a world that is jamp packed with random mobs, sometimes stationary, sometimes patrolling. In my experience, the density is sometimes so great that you have to carefully pull 1 or 2 and watch your positioning or you will find yourself swarmed. These random trash mobs are possibly the most annoying thing about the game. So it's not the kill quests that I find necessarily bothersome but the mob density. Now of course, with more people in game this may be a non-issue, and the density is in preparation for many players questing in the same area, and this issue will become a non-issue at launch. "Loading screens" are not "instances". |

Originally posted by Charlizzard I think much of the feeling stems from the fact that there are no predetermined rotations. You have to design you build and your rotaion for pve. It's not easy after awhile you find a balance.
Example do I go with 2 builders, or 1. If I replace a builder with a more powerful consumer will I have enough X to consistanly get my consumers off. Should I add a 3rd or a forth finisher? Do the cooldowns flow together?
These are all questions you need to ask after you figure out what type of build you want to run. |

Originally posted by Kuppa I was talking about mob design as well as mechanics. As for the mechanics, people should try themselves whenever they do dungeons or boss mobs in the various areas, as for the design, just take a look at the monsters page on the official TSW forum. I find a number of them to be very imaginative. |

Originally posted by Charlizzard Since Aero wont respond, would agree that you can skip 95-99% of those kill quests?
You have to plan your attack. You need to look at the area. See where you have room to kite and dodge. I can safly say anyone playing TSW for one month will know the basics of raiding. The game will teach you how to play, or you will quit. |

Originally posted by cooper85 you could skip 99% of quests in TERA as well but wouldn't make advancement very efficient. But yes the ones i find tedious and annoying aren't major story plots or anything and could be skipped. But honestly most MMO's you can skip a ton of quests in rift you could level to cap with just doing pvp and dungeons after level 10 if you wanted. I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall.
