Checkpoints

I am so tired and fed up of doing the same quest over and over jsut to die at the same point... Yesterday I was doing the old christmas 2014 quest and had to run through it 3 times because there were too many mobs. I am currently doing the excavation site A quest and I fell on the parkour near the end, although that is still nearish the start of the temple, I really don't want to have to go all the way back to drop an item and possibly fail the parkour again. This game needs checkpoints, if you fall on parkour, go back to the start of it instead of dying, loosing soul points, waiting for them to come back, running all the way back to then die again and repeat the cycle. At very least, spawn me at the start of the parkour, don't make me run all the way back, it's just boring and makes me not want to play.

 

but that's the challenge, it makes parkour more risky if there aren't checkpoints.
Git gud son

 

I don't mean mid-parkour checkpoints, I mean one at the start, there is nothing in games that annoys me more than time that could of been saved if I didn't have to travel to the same exact location over and over, the checkpoint doesn't even have to be at the parkour, even at the front of the temple will do. Also, it's not only this, that christmas one I said about, it took me about 20 mins to get to the final boss where I died, spawned in on that island starting with an 'S', payed to go back to that ice island, ran back to Santa's, got to the past, ran to the future and then got killed just before the boss because there were so many enemies so I came back about 2 hours later, did it all again and completed it is udner 10 health when I had about 700-800 at the time... is a checkpoint so you don't have to waste so much time too much to ask for?

 

Prepare yourself better for the mobs in the area and be more careful in parkour. Simple. Checkpoints are not needed.

 

Stock up on potions before quests, then you won't die and have to restart everything :)

 

Most parkour doesn't even make you die anyways, and every class' movement spell can cancel fall damage. This is very unnecessary.

 

About the parkour checkpoint, there already are checkpoints at the start of a parkour in a few quests/dungeons And before doing any parkour, bring potions. There is no parkour that insta kills you if you fall...
same with bosses, bring potions with you! Without potions you will keep getting hurt and die...

 

The parkour I did has the silverfish mob at the bottom, there were so many that I didn't have to to use the bomb arrow spell before I died.

 

My really useless tips:
- Don't walk in quests... go on a damn horse
- And checkpoints are in city's :)
BUT PS!!! I REALLY DO GET WHAT YOU MEAN!!!! Seriously... level 90+ boss fights are insane for my assassin...

Yea.. I would want checkpoints

 

My speed boost is faster than my basic horse but it still takes aaaagggeeesss.... I have to wait another 40 mins before I have 10 souls again, assuming that the day/night cycle is the same in this server, then I have to take another few mins just traveling to the temple...

 

This already exists in many places

 

Not sure if you read all of the thread...

________________________________

In case anyone was wondering, ive finally completed that quest...

 

._.
I DID read the thread, and just reread it to see what you think I missed
In many quests, if you fall from the parkour, you teleport back to the start.
Please enlighten me on why you think I didn't read it all

 

Because it is clear that I had infact acknowledged that fact and also know about it but what you are thinking about is not what i'm on about. This particular thread was about adding checkpoints in quest dungeons or any other place only accessable by quests. I was using the parkour in the 'WynnExcavation Site A' quest as an example about how they should of put a checkpoint at the begining of the parkour so when you fall and die to the siverfish, it spawns you back at the begining of the parkour and not the nearest city/town/village. Another example I used was the 2014 Christmas quest, it would of been much quicker if they included a checkpoint in the middle of the quest as if you die, you spawn at Selchar, have to pay for a ticket to the Ice islands, run to Santa's island, climb up the mountain to Santa's house, jump in his fire, find that guy who is a kid in this timeline, get through the cave which is swarming with enemies, get to the future, talk to the kid who is now old, get back to the cave, get through the cave, defeat that crystal mini boss, do that (I think this bit is a little pointless) 3 block parkour and go fight the final boss. A lot to do, right? Boring to read, right? Remember doing it? If not, sound a little boring to do twice, right? Is it too much to ask that a checkpoint is placed midway though that quest so I don't have to do the whole quest over again? I don't think it is at least.

 

Sanctuary parkour

 

There are already checkpoints in the game, such as the quest Flight in Distress. However, it is clear that creating checkpoints of that kind in other quests would require quite a bit of work. It is entirely possible that the CT are working on other checkpoints right now.
Although, yes. The game could use more checkpoints.

________________________________

Forgot to mention: Add a poll.

 

I know this is just an exaggeration but there's no parkour sections that have respawn points nearly that far away. Hell, there are barely any places where that's true.

 

Except this is what your thread looks like simplified:

• I just had to redo some quest 3 times
• I keep falling off another parkour from a different quest; this game needs checkpoints
• Suggestion about adding parkour checkpoints, saying you don't have to die and simply should teleport back to the start. I would like to point out that a. I am not aware of a single parkour where falling kills you and b. As I said before, this is already a feature in many places. And where it isn't, it's relatively easy to get back to the start.
• Complaint about having to run "all the way back". Which is confusing unless you have the knowledge that you also meant checkpoints for quests, which is a. Implemented in one quest and will likely be in more soontm. And b. This clarification was only given in a later response to people who were giving feedback solely on the main posts information.

And keep in mind most people won't read every single post, theyll just post something based off of criticism of the thread. This is why I missed both a. your clarification posts and b. People saying the same thing as me and your subsequent acknowledgement of those posts.

 

Good job, your highest level class is level 39! So stop complaining!?!
You haven't seen nothing yet. The quests get a lot harder.
I died more times than I can count on some of the "easier" deaths in CoTL.
Cowfusion, Beyond the Grave, and Enter the Dojo are some quests that you can die a lot on if you are not prepared.

 

There is no need to be so rude about it, this is a forum for suggestions to a game and my suggestion is that there should be some checkpoints here and there, don't throw it out of proportion. VIPs like you should be representing the server, not taking the mick out of people. Go eat a Snickers and get off your high horse.

If you removed the cockiness out of your comment then it would be respectable...
Your point just proves the point I made about mid-quest checkpoints, i'm a college student, I have stuff to do outside of the game and I like to play this when i've got some time so forgive me if I don't want to waste my free time getting back to the quest to do it all over and over again.

________________________________

Again, not just talking about parkour, that is just the example I used, just read that long step by step comment I put. I had to do that 3 times, it would of been quicker to grind to unlock the next quest... unfortunetly, I have a strong urge to complete all the quests -_- And thank you for being one of the few who are not being rude about this and i'm sorry if it feels like I am, I am just getting fed up of people on this server and thier attitudes.
