Not even a 5 second interaction, but that alone was worth it. Made my patch :)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229576432809303001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-70565456185110888902020-02-13T19:14:31.512+00:002020-02-13T19:14:31.512+00:00I think I was talking mainly about the new set of ...I think I was talking mainly about the new set of Missions added to EQII, which use the Overseer system to tell exactly the same story as you'd get in a quest, only without any of the fuss and bother of actually going and kiling things. It's five stages that start with you meeting an NPC and doing the whole "get a quest" thing, only you don't get a quest, you get a Mission. There are four stages where the narrative tells you who you go and kill for a drop or where you go and steal something, then the final stage has you giving all the items to another NPC (who you never actually visit - it all happens in descriptive text).<br /><br />It's not a great narrative but it's *exactly* like a regular quest. The text could literally be dropped in as dialog for an NPC and you as the character could go and do the killing yourself. It's basically proof of concept for using the Mission system to run anything we've previously done as quests. Not that I'm suggesting that would be a good idea but it surprised me to see it was possible.<br /><br />Considering the system has only been in game for a couple of months it suggests huge potential, which I'm sure will never be fulfiled.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-49190679946864801722020-02-13T12:50:06.698+00:002020-02-13T12:50:06.698+00:00Oh, all my diplomats strictly stick to the mission...Oh, all my diplomats strictly stick to the missions that match their alignment; always have!Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-47806270486447453362020-02-13T11:00:59.992+00:002020-02-13T11:00:59.992+00:00I used to read the mission text.

At first I felt bad as I was missing a small part of the game. Eventually I just stopped caring as I had enough companions I just wanted to get the missions started and get on with playing the character doing the missions.<br /><br />I am annoyed with the Diplomacy missions. That's mainly because you can get both light and dark side points from the same mission. My main has been maxed light side and I dislike losing that max after doing a bunch of Diplomacy missions. For toons at max LS/DS rank I end up hovering over the mission to see if it is all one way or a mixed mission. Then I pick just those missions that fit the character. I really would just like to have Diplomacy work like the other skills.Pallaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052537793722183657noreply@blogger.com
