I'd be glad to see more of them. Or my favorite: #149! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yzalirk Posted November 29, 2016 Just wanted to put my two cents about the Fields of Glory - my thought is why not level-lock certain areas? For instance, the Easy Zones are intended for players between say Level 1 and Level 15. New players do not have to sit idle in the hall waiting for a quest to pop up with the hopes of being selected. The only thing is balancing the fields in a way that they should not be able to grind the rewards or to change them. I feel that players will get a taste of how the game is played since the fields are intended to just fight enemies, not to actually complete a quest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of this idea, what is the process now for pitching a quest? I've had one simmering in my mind for a bit and school is finally about to let up for a month or so and I might be able to focus on actually planning and pitching, but I will need a lot of guidance (and probably also quite a bit of help with sets).

You send a quest proposal to Sandy, or now I suppose the Council. You include a title, how many Heroes in the party, the reward and the blurb that's stated in the Hall that is posted. Then a synopsis would be good, especially if you're a new host. If you are new, maybe include some pics of sets/locations just to show you are committed.

For now let's say all of us as we're just finding our feet and should all be on the same page. Thanks for the welcome, everyone. All three of us have been around since day 1 (well, of Heroica being public anyway), so I feel that we have the experience to facilitate this game. With everyone's help, of course - as mentioned we need new blood and more QMs. If you have ideas, send them our way. We're currently discussing what direction to take. Your feedback in here over the last couple days has been valuable and we will take everything into consideration, so keep it coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flipz Posted November 30, 2016 Well...I suppose I can try to host the pair of Quests I have ready. I already got all of it pre-approved by Sandy before the Anniversary, all I'm waiting on now is for 150 to let out, and for me to finish some of the sets (although more help there would be greatly appreciated, things IRL have been...difficult, which makes it hard for me to handle artistic stuff like building). Really, my big issues have been feeling creatively drained and wondering if people were still interested in Questing under me after so long, but if people are interested I can certainly try to get the gears turning again.

Kintobor Posted November 30, 2016 I've been looking to get QM'd under new people, since all I ever seemed to do was go on Endgame quests. I'd love to go on a quest of yours, Flipz! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flipz Posted November 30, 2016 Side note: really hope the Council has no rules against nepotism, I may have already reserved a couple slots on one of the Quests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nono, I mean nepotism as in "I haven't even opened sign-ups, but already I know a few characters I'm going to pick." (I.E. there is no way in hell I'm not taking Kiray on a Diana Quest, for obvious reasons. ) 32 minutes ago, Chromeknight said: I think flipz is talking about taking council members characters rather than his own. ...admittedly one of the pre-reserved slots is for a council member character, yes.

Lots of players have gotten themselves behind the eightball going straight into the fields. They are for mid to high level players. New players should just wait for low level quests. No reason to change things up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzalirk Posted December 5, 2016 The smell of Grogmas is in the air! I will be making a large list sometime over the weekend for just about every player, no matter if I played with you or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I seem to be the only person here worried about a five-year-old's safety. Thanks, but that should be at least SP: 26, because I don't think there have been any shields offering 0 SP yet. Alternatively, you can just offer me an Ore, which is good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
