Quest wipe.
« on: February 12, 2008, 04:10:43 pm »
Several people are stuck in strange ways in quests. Do you the players believe it is time to start fresh?

Before I vote I'd like to make something clear.  You are proposing to delete quest history (what quests people have done / are doing) and not the actual quests, right?

Will quest rewards (items, faction points, tec.) you already have also be deleted?

Waylander I meant only quest history, not the quests themselves.

Things already in a character's possession will remain, this is only the history.

Factions would remain unless we chose to start those over, but that is another matter.

What about winch access? Would that be lost too?

We could discuss doing a partial wipe leaving winch access, but that does not help us as much as a full wipe. Settings needs new bug reports.

Mind you, major fixes have been made to all winch quests so . . . it should not be as hard as the first time.

I think it's unanimous that people want a quest wipe :P

Resetting everything having to do with quests would be nice - it would help more anyway wouldn't it?

As I understand, a quest wipe will mean the following:
- you can no longer count how many quests you did
- quests that you partly did, you will have to do all over again (you could try to use items you still have, but that may not always work).
But on the positive side:
- many quest conflicts are gone. I would say that it is good to only wipe after a next release, to avoid quests getting messed up again.
- you can do one time quests again (although a slight exploit possibly)
- some quests are broken, and in order to fix them, a quest reset is needed. I would suggest to fix as many of such quests before a wipe, so no single quest resets have to be done

Clearly I lean heavily to the 'yes' side, if after/at next release and hopefully fixing more quests.
 
Addition (there were 3 replies now):
factions, winch access (I think) and inventory are not stored in the quest history, so would not be reset. Unless winch access checks a quest pre-requisite everytime you try to enter, in which case you will have to redo the quests.

Perhaps factions would. It might help us to see the patterns a bit more. We need balance in the faction system also. However this thread is just to get a feel for player reaction, there is actually some work that needs to be done on our side to prepare, part of that work is seeing how the players feel.

Indeed, I know of several people who would benefit from this, I don't see how anyone would be hurt by it either.

I approve! :D
