Lime_Mercury Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 On the main page, in the knowledge base section, you can view hints for quests you've started but not finished. How new is this? :D so there's this thread in p2p general called "the most annoying things ppl do on runescape" i am tempted to post "ya wen im cybering with a girl and they log off for no reason" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zsandmann Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 10 May 2006 - The New QuestHelp System Next Introducing the QuestHelp system! We know it can be very frustrating to get partway through a quest only to hit a puzzle you just can't solve. However, we also know that simply resorting to looking up the entire solution can take all the fun out of the quest and often results in you seeing more solution than you wanted to see. This can leave you with the feeling that you didn't really solve bits you could have done. Therefore we're proud to announce the launch of our new QuestHelp system! The system looks at your current progress in the game to identify your exact position within a quest and then offers hints on how to get past the point you are currently stuck at. Even better, the hint system is able to give 'cryptic' hints, which are just enough to get you thinking in the right direction, but still allow you to enjoy solving the puzzle for yourself. If that's not enough it can then give a more detailed hint to help you get past the sticking point. Additionally, some hints contain maps and images that provide excellent visual clues to aid you during your quest. The system will give you up to 4 hints a day. Of course you don't have to use all 4 and for maximum enjoyment of the quests we would recommend only using the QuestHelp system when you find yourself otherwise stumped. For the moment the QuestHelp system is a beta and provides help for all of our free quests. We will be looking to add the members quests next, just as soon as we can get all those hints written! So you can look forward to those being released in batches in the future. There are a couple of reasons we started with just free player quests. Firstly, the majority of our game related queries are from free players. This will hopefully free up a significant part of our Customer Relations team, who can then be re-shifted to focus on processing game abuse and cheating reports even quicker, improving the game environment for all of our players! During the beta version, we also hope to get your ideas and suggestions via our forums to make the QuestHelp system as helpful as possible, which we can then look to take into account as we update with help for all of our members quests. You can log-in to the QuestHelp system from the main front page and also from the Knowledge Base. For more information about the QuestHelp system, view the QuestHelp Knowledge Base article.

malo2 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 thats stupid, what are quest guides on fansites for? I think its dumb the way jagex is trying to do the work of fansites as well as making the game. i guess its ok in ways, but few poeple will use it, most will just use a guide if theyre stuck Lastfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzioido Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 seems to me like this will make new quests even easier to do, because its pretty rare for a veteran player to get stuck 4 times during one quest, so like a team of 3 players doing the new quest could just take turns using their questions...finish a quest in about the time it would take to use a guide lol.

Yeah, or they can wait an hour and get a guide from someone who's already done it. It's not exactly hard atm. This update is for people who don't like to be walked through an entire quest, but occasionally get stuck. I do think it's a way of trying to wean people off fansite walkthrus, but not necessarily a malicious one - it's to the benefit of general gameplay if people can get small hints without having to spoil everything with a walkthru. Won't use it myself, i hate doing quests even semi blind (what's that, i've walked all this way and now i have to go all the way back and get an iron bar? i hate you!), but i thik it's a good idea.

archimage_a Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Its nice that F2P got a update that was really mainly for them, most members have either done or know about tip it. On the whole though...its hardly an update. More of an attempt to make people use runescape rather than other fansites. Sitting down on chairs, now theres an update! http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

misterxman Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 In their Database, it says that they mainly implemented this system because so many people send queryes about quests to CS. This system would allow CS and other Jagex staff to check more abuse reports and be more efficient in that area. Pretty good idea imo.

The_Avatar Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 well i log into runescape today aftera long grueling half-week and think well at least runescape might update today. so I look on the news page and think wow! f2p quest guides! as if they wearnt easy enough already! and look you have four points to spend Oooo the joy of boundries. so I go on there and it seems that oh wait ive already completed all of the nonmembers quests as has most of the other paying members. oh joy the rest of the members should be filled with glee. If your going to make a f2p update make it usefull for your members too! half of the f2p population is too stupid to look in the knowalage base anyway. theyd rather follow higherlevels around begging for info! to me this might go down as one of the most worthless updates of the year.

(no offense to f2p tip.iters) Well it does say that it will have members quests when they get a chance to write all the hints for them. And until then you do have tip.it's guides for members quests. And on the other matter about Jagex trying to "get rid" of fansites. Fansites shouldn't really be the place that someone goes for more information on a game than the game's official site. Fansites, in general, should be more of a compliment to the official site, than the official site complimenting the fansites. This is just their way of trying to become more involved with their own game. More than just basically a link to the game. The game has grown so fast that they haven't been able to keep up with all aspects, which is why fansites popped up and grew faster than the official site. Now that they are turning their attention that way, people assume it's only because Jagex doesn't want fansites around. But shouldn't the offical site reflect more about the game than the fansites? If Jagex ever made a perfect update, there would be players complaining about nothing to complain about.[hide=My Stats][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand you perfectly. Nick off and get us a million-gazillion goblin amours from Fallador. And guess what? You can colour with dye. Oh and you'll have to walk. Before I discovered tip.it......

Guiness Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 It's a fairly good update for the F2Pers, but most people have already done all of the F2P quests, so I'm hoping for quest help on some, if not all P2P quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
