hey guys. this topic is regarding how quests will be layed out and what they might be called other than "quest" say what you think. also rewards and items in MechScape





ShaMus

I think they would be more-or-less ... "missions"

I think they should be more action-filled rather that the more riddle-iculous (Rofl, just had to do that :rolleyes) RuneScape quests that you have to use your THINKING for. Nobody THINKS during MMO's. Roflmao.

More of an expansion of where you go, not just "Hey ______ get me ______ and ill give you ___ xp." but more of a "AGENT _____ I need you to fly to the ______ on an space ship! Don't get shot down! There will be a lot of enemies there, and you can get lost easily! Good luck!"

I reckon they will be Missions, or Objectives, kill X 'Robo-Cats' in X seconds, destroy the 10 Plasma Generators and Chase 'Man' through the Secret lair while being chased by Robo-Monkies, my guesses

I think they would be in the format Day said, and repeatable, but not easy.

I'm looking forward to that aspect of the game, I have no doubt that they will have some kind of replacement for Quests

Just wonder what it will be....

Wow...guys, your quest ideas sound so much like Shaiya... It's freaky. Trust me, the storylines of RuneScape quests are much better than "kill x robomonkeys." I've done both. It's the storylines of RuneScape quests that make me like them so much, and like the game so much. For me, training is just about pointless if it's not for some quest or minigame, or some boss monster. The storylines are what sets RuneScape quests apart from almost every other MMORPG quests in the world. Sure, I'd love more action in the quests, but never less storyline.

How about this one: "Person #1 is about to be attacked by robomonkeys (what?! I love robomonkeys! ), and needs supplies for a weapon that will destroy vast amounts of robomonkeys without destroying organic matter. You go off to find these supplies. It turns out that the robomonkeys have foreseen this, though, and have set up a laser protection system around the supplies. You have to figure out a way to disable the system without alerting the monkeys. (Stealth.) You almost get it disabled, then a monkey guard sees you. You try to destroy the monkey guard before it alerts the other monkeys, but fail. Now you're under attack, but you still have to get the parts. You run through the lasers and grab the parts, run back and get out of there, destroying the few brave monkeys who were brave enough to tail you out of their camp. Getting back to Person #1, he tries to use the material to make the last component of the gun, but realizes it's a cheap imitation! (Like pyrite is to gold.) The monkeys were smarter than we thought and replaced the materials with the fake. You must now find the real materials, but this time the monkeys are expecting you!"

And the quest goes on, but I'm too lazy to write more. You get the general idea.

To be honest, Runescape has the best quests of any MMO that i've ever played. I want them to follow the same route, hey, you can't improve on perfection

As said, MechScape will NOT be a futuristic version of RuneScape. So there will not probably be the quests/missions/whatever included.

How can you honestly build a game were you have no quests? If you took quests out of Runescape, the game would be significantly more boring. Mechscape may have quests, but who says they will follow the RS pathline. But then again, who says they wont? Why not head to a planet and search it only to find out mysterious markings or a cult? Space-Monkey-Sharabians will kill if you if you don't kill them first and solve the mystery behind them.

All signs point to MechScape not having quests, but having missions.

I was watching a youtube video of an interview (which was removed ) and the guy said that there would be missions. Hopefully they'll be as good as RuneScape quests.

As long as they're called missions, have some epic battle cutscenes, instead of always having our character get 'PWNED' by the bad guys and wake up AGAIN to get back in action... Seriously.

yah we don't need another fps.

we need an original fps rpg mission game.

I would like some awesome cut scenes with battle scenes and bosses, etc. not just another halo online >.> I'd rather play that.

I hope the quests arn't the only thing you can do on Mechscape, like so many console games :-/

Tho knowing JaGeX that is unlikely ;-)

My pets ;-)

I'm guessing "missions"

and they'll most likely be alot more action oriented

I agree with Ren and Imaninjerr in that it will have more mission-type things to do rather than quest-type things to do. This will make the game much more exciting.
