Suggestion for Quest markers to be clearer

August 9, 2010 3:49:16 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Running the Current Beta (0.98) I notice that the Quest Markers are not always visible when using the Graphics, I usually need to Zoom out to the Cloth map mode to see them.

 

Suggestion: Instead of a yellow highlight can there be a Unique identifier used to show the quest location something like a star or a flag to make it easier to locate.

Like the idea, but what I would like to see is that the quest marker is not visible if hidden by FOW. Then you are really questing since you need to identify the location via LOS.

Not only more clear, but also higher level quest markers as different colors... I don't want to send some weak rookie to collect a powerful reward.

How about putting the Adventure Level on the Quest Marker as a numerical value.

in beta 4 if you hover the mouse OVER the quest marker the window tells you the quest level AND your adventure level, so you can decide wether or not  to go to the quest location.

although the quests are easiest to see on the clothmap and can be very hard to see in the 3d view.

That was why I asked for better markers, I couldn't see them on the 3d view and needed to zoom out to the cloth map.

Got these in for both goodie huts and quests, different glows based on spawn levels (you should see these in the new screenshots being posted). Next build you get will be much easier to read from the 3d map.
