Currently, if you have three Z-Missions, Bounties, or Combats in your log and you talk with the quest givers, they will tell you that they have three of the respective quest and turn you away. I think it should be changed so that they give you the information for today's challenge, and then upon attempting to accept the challenge, it would tell you if you already have too many quests.

This is to allow people to see what today's quest is without ditching a quest, switching characters, asking other people, etc.

Agreed, it's annoying having to go port my other characters just to see what the quest is, only to re-log on my main, abandon a quest and take it because it's better.

The current set-up IS somewhat annoying... but does that mean the live team should waste their time on it? It's easy enough to type /wiki and have all the info you need right in front of you...

It takes a lot of time for the browser to start up and go to the correct page in comparison to if it wasn't needed

I just ask my alliance what they are, it should show you though in advance.

I agree with the OP it is very annoying to not know what the new mission or bounty is when you already have three in your quest log, especially when they have just changed and Wiki has not been updated yet.

Yeah, sometimes I have to remove a 70coin quest to see that the new one is a 35 one.

/signed, same as Mithran, I got rid of a boss bounty I could have done and then realized the current one one was wayyyy beyond the character. He's not even in Vabbi yet and the boss is in DoA. My bad for not doing my homework first, but I wouldn't mind being able to quickly check without tabbing to the wiki or asking around.

MithranArkanere · Jun 03, 2009, 10:39 AM // 10:39

Ah, by the way, using another character is not always an option, if you pick quests with all of them, and the Wiki doesn't always update fast enough. So there only other way is asking someone else, and that may not be always possible.

I know, it's a minor irritation, but games, being a form of entertainment, should try to go with as little irritation as possible.

And on a related note, it'd be great if they could smooth out the pathing in GToB too. I'm constantly getting stuck or doing an eternal zig-zag dance while trying to access the signs from a non-perpendicular angle. And I get stuck at the anatomical engineer when going from the chest to the merchant.

I recently read a posting by Linsey saying she has thought of this and it is on one of her post-it notes. I've spent quite some time searching but I couldn't find it again, sorry.

Although if you just ask nicely in /local in GToB what the daily quest is you will usually get a response very quickly (or you can check the wiki). As such, not a MAJOR prority issue, but certainly wouldn't hurt.

Eragon Zarroc · Jun 04, 2009, 07:28 PM // 19:28

agreed, u can always check wiki or check the quests with another character, but it would be more convenient to just to be able to see what the quest is even if u have 3, even if u cant take it.

/notsigned pointless feature saving people a good 10 seconds.

Tender Wolf · Jun 16, 2009, 06:15 AM // 06:15

Just commented on a thread exactly like this, but I'll do it again.

You could just go to Wiki's home page and see it there. The biggest issue here is the 3 limit thing. Make the quests/missions/combats unlimited instead of just 3. You could be saving a mission to do with a guild and another to do with a friend but want the new one without losing any. So just remove the cap or at least increase it.

Ya its on wiki.
but I would much prefer it if You could just check it in game rather than having to go out of the game.

Why are people moaning about the 3 quest limit? The purpose of the zquest is to give you something to do on that day. The key word here is DAILY. Having the ability to store up to 3 in your log means you can take the quest and then keep it for tomorrow if something comes up.

In other words, it's a daily quest, and Anet is trying to convince you to play more daily quests so you get more rewards. If you ditch a 70 coin quest to find out what the next quest is then it's your fault if you miss out. You should have just done the quest on the day or as soon as you got the opportunity to do it.

If it's just that you want to build up things to do, well you can go and do all of those misisons/quests/pvp zones any time you like. that's the normal game. The reward is meant to be for doing the quest on the day or as close to as when posted.

So my recommendation if you want to keep a quest and find out what the next one is, just use one of your other chars, use the wiki, ask people, or just go about doing your daily quest.

Be glad that you have variety in the rewards and the quests. Some other games have the same quest day in and day out. If you don't want the reward, don't do the daily.
