Conrad Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Name: Conrad Quest Name: intro to X battalion Quest Description: give each battalion a quest that gives them a brief introduction to their battalion. highlighting things like their lore characters, battalions specialization, and some other generic info you can set up guys that spawn in all over the map of different lore characters specific to their battalion for them to go and find and talk to to get this information Which Faction(s) is it for: clones. But could work for all groups potentially. What would be required for it: a good bit of work setting up all the different characters, but it would be pretty copy and paste between all the battalions with different flavor text and who the lore characters are Any additional information: Link to comment
Luther Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 What if instead, we added a information board like the defcon board in the CC room that highlights all battalions. This would also be a good option. Link to comment

This quest is a cool way for new players to get acquainted with our battalions and really show off this new quest system at the same time. Link to comment
Conrad Posted August 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Additionally I think something like this will help show off the lore characters we have on the server. Before we would direct new players to the f4 menu to show off. Now we have no way of doing that. By putting those characters in this quest we can fulfill that criteria as well to hopefully help them know what’s available and decide who they might want to try and become! Link to comment

Additionally, i agree. I think @Woenywas trying to do something similar with Jedi and that tablet quest, giving a brief description of the branches and what they do.

Doing this NPC thing to the full extent of each lore character can cause quite abit of unecessary lag, how would you propose they prevent that?

Just wondering how far ahead you've thought this out Make the quest not repeatable or repeatable after a long period of time (more then a month, probably half a year in as a “I stopped playing and came back” sort of thing). This isn’t a quest for veterans it’s for the new players. I’d be surprised if more then 1 or 2 of these would get run at any given time outside of initial release where people would flock to it. In that case just release one battalion at a time to stagger it. Link to comment

In that case just release one battalion at a time to stagger it. alternatively, after experiencing a bit of the testing, i agree with your implementation, adding it so only maybe 5 people can do it at a time, and they can make it so 1 character despawns/respawns after a step. At the end of the day, if they can optimize it to be no issue i think this is a cool idea, and a step up from the F4 menu. +1 Longest Special Operations Member on the server.

Coordinator Woeny Posted August 21, 2022 Coordinator Coordinator Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Ill set up a quest giving brief description of battlions really good idea The lore characters and such would be alot of entites down as each one counts as 1 Later i can do one describing regiments i wouldnt mind doing that but from what i know when people are being recruited they are briefed on what the regiments within the battalion are no? @Conrad Link to comment

I think alot would love to read something and pick 1 Report Longest Special Operations Member on the server.

While they might get briefed about the batt when joining it I was more thinking of a way to have CTs get information without trying to be poached or something from a bat. Maybe a good way to keep the entities down would be to make this quest CT only. That would keep the amount of people doing this quest to a minimum and thus reduce the lag. I’ll be on in like 10 if you need me to explain in ts @Woeny Link to comment
