Class Based Quests

[Aboxorox]

Well one thing that the server is lacking is way for the characters alignment and class to effect the quests he gets. As of right now I have seen no quests that other classes an not get.

My suggestion - Class based quests

Two examples of this would be -
A. Assassin is hired to kill a upper class polition by an opposing polition or a powerhungary guild boss.
B. Harper Scout notices strange footprints in the snow heading up towards a house on a hill (Brought to you by Floating Text Triggers). Harper Scouts natural instinct should be to investigate it.

If Makz does not wish to actually implement it into the game perhaps the DM's could do this in game. I think this would bring a bit more of diversity betweens the classes instead of always doing the same quests for each charater a player makes and will allow for a new eperience (in return players staying longer, experimenting and not powergaming).
Also if there could be more on the different alignments. Obviously an evil priestess would not search for healing kits for the peasents but they would try to overthrow their superiors. A good wizard would most certainly search for potion ingrediants for a big nosed gnome but an evil wizard would find himself killing and stealing the gnomes potions for himself. (And I don't men reature items that drop like Slaad's Tongue's)

I know this would take a lot of work but it would give players something to do besides powergaming and a lot of writing jornal entries and scripts but the additional quests nd the choosing of the ending would bring new life to the newer players and the ancient players alike.

P.S. - My right side of the keyboard is not working right now for some reason so I appologise for any misspelling or missing letters in advance. I sometimes have to hit these letters four-five times to get them to show up. These letters consist of - caps, shift, ctrl, alt, z, a, q, x, c. nthing else is just me being stupid ;D

I like the idea, but ummm...

Who plays a Harbor Scout? ;D

I am going to lock this, but, before I do, perhaps a brief explanation, although, I have done this before, I realise threads get old, and not read. Quests on Fredian, are in some cases, ice breakers, in others they are part of giving a PC the chance to explore, and learn some history off some NPC's also, as you talk to many of them, if you haven't you are missing out on a lot in some cases.

I would prefer to see my DM's do this, as coding/writing that many different quests into a PW that is after all a Story PW not a single player mod, would take me as basically the sole maker of Fredian away from other things I do, including being on for players, a large reason Fredian is successful, is, I try to stay in touch with my player base... and, there is only one of me and I balance a lot of things, don't get paid, have a family, and still, I think, keep this very fresh and constantly changing. Some things you will not see, others you will, all of it contribrutes to what Island of Fredian is.

Thanks.

I will say this again, NO more quests will go in, for now, no one else can touch what is behind them, so, that is that, I do not use the plot manager, and we use custom MySQL/APS based systems. DM quests go on ALL the time, the fact that anyone misses them is unfortunate, but, their problem, they are announced in time prior to running. I have instructed the in game DM's to take on what was suggested here, and starting this weekend, you should see some premade listed on here quests, if they do not list them on here, hassle them to do it.

It is a PW Story server, it is not a single player mod. Quests are not an all important aspect, RP and player interaction with the rich history of Fredian is the most important aspect of Fredian.

Thanks.

Makz.
