Treasure Hunting / Quests linked to Historical Events

ArchivedUser

It is too easy to follow the steps of others online nowadays by a quick wiki check, youtube video etc.

Just a thought, if to keep some treasure hunts/quests solvable for only a few and/or the collective perhaps dialogue, and hence location/solution/sequencing were procedural linked to a node's historical events, then perhaps the problem solving would require historical, community and/or local knowledge.

Dates, player names from actions, events integrate into the dialogue for the quest

A reward for those that know the game and what goes on,?

At first everything is going to feel fresh, and new, and exciting. Given a year, I think every deviation of each node and their quests will be discovered between all the servers.

Also, servers are going to be different just based on how the Node system works. It's entirely possible no 2 server will even have the same quests available. This will cut down quite a bit of ability to rely on guides and walk throughs.

It will still happen but I don't see it as being something that I'm going to lose sleep over.

Agreed, I was thinking more from mid, to longer term whereby nearly everything is known to the experienced player.

Creating a rare set of infrequent repeatable quests that the story and/or solution are linked to the very players themselves actions was the idea to keep them fresh and challenging.
