Make Better WalkthroughsFollow

Am i the only one here who finds it very annoying when I try to look up a qst walkthrough of some sort and all it has is the same description that my qst log says in the game, i mean what kind of help is that. Is it really that hard to put a location or a little dot and description on the map like for example (.Goblin Camp here) i mean cmon now Ala, be a little more helpful as to where exactly things are.

Actually, this is the first MMO I have played where I didn't really need any hand-holding during the quests.

I've been playing since last November (early closed beta) and back then there was ZERO information available so we had no choice other than to tough it out. The information provided is really all you need in most cases and when a little more info is required, you can usually find it through a carefully worded question in /advice or a query in guild chat.

Most walkthroughs are penned by the players, have you contributed anything or do you just expect others to do your thinking for you?

If you're desperate for locations, give www.mehq.net a look.

Otherwise, I'll agree with OBD. The quests are pretty much self explanitory.

How bout taking some time and writing on yourself, then submit it to Alla's if the ones they have done are not sufficient. Bear in mind these people are NOT employed by Turbine, they don't get kickbacks from them or any kind of special treatment. They maintain this site and those walkthroughs as a courtesy to other gamers. Don't like em? Do your own then.

When we all started the closed beta, there was absolutely zero available data so count yourself lucky someone actually took the time to do one so you can complain about it.

Quests that I feel like I have some insight on, or remember, I usually make a post below the quest description on the site. Maybe you can do the same with a few as well and get the process started?

We have to remember that this is a relatively new game and though some may have already gone through most of it there is still a lot of the game left unexplored. Information will be added little by little as with any game, we already get daily updates and i can only imagine that there will be more to come.

But like Molarean said:

But i also agree the quests have been pretty self explantory and even the maps pin point where you need to go and where the quest NPC's are at, It's like a big neon arrow pointing to the treasure, it can't get any simpler then that.

What, you want a "mysterious glowing path" to pop up and lead you directly where you need to go? Smiley: lol wrong game, and I've yet to run into any problems finding anything for quests in this game, LEARN2READ!

OH MY GOD!!! You have to put forth effort to accomplish something in the game, what the hell is the world coming to?!?!

Seriously, read the quest and then read it again, they are generally very good about telling you where you need to go. This site is player contributed to, if the info isn't good enough for you then do something about it, instead of whining about it here. Nevermind, that might take the effort you didn't want to expend in the first place, I guess you can wait until someone else gets around to it then.


Yep, I woke up feeling rowdy today and people who need a hand hold through quests that have the level of detail that I've seen so far drive me nuts.

Like has been said, the information on the site is player contributed, and is all entered in by hand. If you'd like to submit info that is more "correct" then feel free. Normally we try to add helpful notes about the quest and where to find things if needed in the notes section. If you're having problems finding a mob for a quest, try clicking the related mob link and that should bring you to a page for that mob with a location. If the mob isn't there, send it in to us by using the submit a correction link!

Sometimes there just is no need to add a walkthrough because the directions are so on target.

I found the following info on house vault changes. You can now access your vault from the door or mechant board directory without going through the "access" panel. You can also access your vault while in OTHER people's houses.


I think your in the wrong forum buddy...... we don't even have houses yet let alone merchant boards Smiley: wink

Yea, notice his sig though? Url Removed. Maybe a crafty spammer trying to post to get us to notice his RMT sig which is filtered? Smiley: lol Time to check into that I think.

That's pretty common on some of the other gaming forums Tomec, I'd say you are right on the money, considering the "url removed" and the low post count. Likely another useless waste of a gold farming cockroach attempting to infect us again.


Edit - Yup Tomec, I did a search and found him on the net, the urls he has in his sig refer back to a gold selling site. He has some others so PM me and I can give you the details. Gold farmer busted.

Technically it wasn't me who bammed him... I didn't hit the actual button >_> I had to confer with something first and during that time someone else was quicker and hit the magic button!
