Zepheras Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well first off, I'm don't own a quest cape. I do at my own pace rather than rushing through them and missing out on the fun. While discussing with a friend regarding the elven quests' storyline (both of us at regicide now), we got confused over the whole story starting from plague city(?). Tons of in-game jokes, humour that isn't that great most of the times, and loose explanation doesn't seem to help. And I believe many of the quests, especially those related to the western areas of Gielinor haven't been concluded as well? (Or have I missed out something?) A part of me thinks that Jagex churned out too many quests without much planning to appease the ever-demanding players, and is now having trouble tying up all the loose ends. Personally, I hope that one of their improvements for this year is to change some of the quests, keeping the pure silly and funny ones (cold war) from those with a more serious tone. What do you think of the numerous quests without a conclusion? All part of Jagex's planning of some major storyline, or a result of constant appeasement policy? SPOILER WARNING! My personal questions of the elven quests that requires clearing up by avid questers! [hide=]I still don't get how the plague from plague citywas a hoax, and yet the people in west Ardougne look sickly and zombified! Why did the elf tracker ask me to look for clues, when the tracks are like, 5 squares away?[/hide] "Do you really want to go back to the time when Falador was grey, lesser demon look like goats, dragons look like cows, hellhound look like cats and your character stands as stiff as a statue?" -F1775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_Corner Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 [hide=]You find out later on, that the King was poisoning the citizens to make the "plague" look legit. You also par-take in adding poison to the food supplies in the city on a later quest of that series.

DarkDude Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The reason a few quest storylines haven't been finished is due to the Jagex staff behind them leaving (Monkey Madness is one I know of). They'll eventually get round to finishing them and I'm sure the end of the storylines won't be disapointing either. WGS "ended" a few storylines by bringing a bunch together into one storyline.

Sy_Accursed Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 No stories have really ended, but we learn more as each series goes on. [hide=Story Spoilers]Plague City & Biohazard worked the whole plague city angle and explained why west ardougne is on lock down and revealed the plague to be a hoax. This raises the questions about what Lathas is up to. The Underground Pass revealed that Tyras, the king of west ardougne, had headed into the pass to seek out the elves and hadn't returned and that Lathas wanted to clear the pass and thus find him and the elves. It was also now we learn Lathas was poisoning food supplies to keep west ardougne sick and thus keep the activities with the underground pass secret. This effectively concludes the plague and the reason it is being faked. Then moving into Regicide we discover Tyras is apparently evil and thus we seek out him camp in order to kill him, however at the end of the quest the "rebel" elves allow us to read the letter and see that Lathas is in league with them in trying to summon Zamorak back to the world. This raises the question again of what Lathas is truely up too and if we really have killed the good guy. In mournings end part 1 we begin our work for the rebel elves and learn that the mourners are really elves, this gives a logical explanation to keeping west ardougne on lock down and clearing the underground pass. Getting more elves in, without people knowing. Equally we learn that the "plague" hoax is being spread further as we have to re paint the "sick" sheep from Sheep Shearer which would fit in with the plans reveal via regicide to sweep through to camelot. The plague spreads so does the lockdown. In mournings end part 2 we discover alot about the power source the elves are seeking in the light temple but we are still elft with many questions via diaries etc as to where Tyras really is, why the elves are using Lathas and what the true power source they are after is. Many of these things are hinted via missing segments in books and the fact the charter ships ells Tyras Helm.[/hide] All in all I'd say the whole fake plague thing has been perfectly tied up if you read it all and the story has developed beyond it. Yes no story line has finished, and yes no story line has given us all the answers. But each installment has neatly tied up the weaker loose ends about early things such as faking a plague etc. Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moad14 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I love every aspect of quests.

Dax Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 A bit further on topic, what do you guys think will close out the mort myre quest line? The Myreque? [hide=My Guess]The reason Veliaf didn't want Ivan to come down to Burgh De Rott, is because it's not really Veliaf, it's Vanstrom in disguise, Ivan's FATHER! (DUN DUN DUUUUN!) and the REAL Veliaf is in a prison in Meiyerditch, then you have to go in there with Safalaan to save him, but when you get there, you get owned by Vyrewatch, when Safalaan busts out his mad 'Icyene' skills, and saves you and Veliaf, destroying himself in the process, leading to you avenging him in an epic battle with Vanstrom, who in the end is defeated by his son, then, reveals himself to be Sliske. (Sliske bit probably not right) :lol:[/hide] #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepheras Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I try to remember the details of every quest, but you know that's not easy, with so many quests around. Perhaps the in-game quest tab can have a more detailed note, or better still, a whole essay describing everything (what I did, what happened, who said what) after the completion of the quest, and make it like a chapter from a book? Whenever I click on the completed quests, all I see are simple summary of key actions taken by me.

Misterknowitall Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 They should make another quest that ties/concludes different storylines, like While Guthix Sleeps did. Maybe something with the (*20th century Fox fanfare plays*) RETURN OF ZAROS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm always looking forward to Myreque, Mahjarrat, or Dragonkin quests. I cannot wait for Sliske to be introduced. Azzanadra's commentary on him in the last letter was spine-tingling. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
