The Missing Quarter...

[MajinDragon]

Ugh, no1 said Tig doesn't work hard enough Just asking where the quarter is. These little updates recently may well have been Q4 but there hasn't been any confirmation of that. And confirmation is needed for scheduled updates or else the expectation leads to confusion. Like so...

We need a pub in Middleton, that town is way cooler than Bomboria.

I'd honestly like to make more towns like that.

New towns seem more like a novelty - a novelty which lasts a few days, tops. That sort of novelty isn't worth the work. Instead, existing towns need intrinsic value - a reason to exist, and I think a lot of towns could benefit from some simple upgrades in that directions; quest areas, etc.

I prefer to the concept of a dungeon to a quest, even if the dungeon hosts some quest(s). Running around like a twit reminds me too much of WoW, and honestly that makes me cringe.

I agree, towns need more interesting content for players to interact with to give the town a purpose and a reason to visit. For most kingdoms it isn't an option to keep adding new towns to the islands and should improve the towns already on the islands.

Absolutely - I've tried to reinforce this a few times but the kingdom dev usually wants to make pretty new stuff they can call their own. Why not, at the least, make the towns more pretty?

Ah well, I can only do so much and my attention is currently focused else where.

CP has 5 towns so we've opted not to add more towns but to improve other parts of the island.

Yes, I see an approach at making current towns much more useful. Currently we have shops that draw attention to players. Other then that the main reason to visit them is clothing and crafting items. I believe a few towns, Tan, San, Harmonia and Bogneria are used for questing. In Tan we have the Mushroom spoor trade, harmonia offers earings, san offers the occasional escort, and bogneria (or at least near) offers rabbit necklace charm.

I am not sure if this was intended but doesn't the NPC's looking for lords usually tell you were the lords are? Because I do not think this works fully if that was it's intent.

I think also, that the people looking for escorts were suspose to "track" them as well, or from what I gather from our previous manager Bjorn's website.

I would like to see an update that maybe addresses the questing system a little better. Currently people looking for escorts list were the escort spawned and not were the escort really is or at least it seems this way when you comb over the entire island and do not find it just to later find it elsewhere. Maybe add some new quests for new items?

The problem I see ever to often is people prefer to be lazy. They do not use the towns for crafting items themselves but rather buy the materials from others. Such as the mines, people prefer to use other methods of making money since these ways (fishing, minning, baking) are ever so slow. It kinda makes the enjoyment of these activity boring and repetative.

Bread should be updated as I see it unreasonable that high level mental people such as myself cannot bake such a simple peice of bread but rather unique breads determined on luck.
