World Quest Options

General Idea​

I never thought I'd have to make a forum post about this.. however I think it has to be said and has to be done. The ability to cancel a quest or redo a quest (for no reward)

In Depth Description And Reasons​

Cancelling A Quest - The idea for being able to cancel quests is in case something about the quest is bugged. Yes I realize having to cancel a quest and restart would be very annoying and aggravating but considering the way scrolls work you cannot use scrolls if you are in the middle of a quest. The reason for this idea is because of the Sandy Scandal quest. I'm a level 63 dark wizard and I stopped playing awhile ago. I come back on for the first time in awhile and see all these new quests I can do so I get excited and start doing each quest one by one until I reach the Sandy Scandal quest. The part where you have to defuse the tnt is bugged and therefore I cannot finish the quest also meaning the quest has not been complete and is still ongoing. I have quests that are in The Province Of Gavel and quests that are in The Province Of Wynn and because I have not finished the Sandy Scandal quest I cannot use scrolls to teleport back and fourth. I've been having to travel back and fourth between both provinces and this is far more annoying then having to just simply restart the quest.

Re-doing a quest - The idea for being able to redo a quest for zero reward is strictly for the reason that I have friends who play Wynncraft and we aren't all the same level but I still like to stick around with them. It bothers me that if I'm level 63 and they're level 30 or 40 and I have already completed those quests I just follow them around. Some quests I'm not able to commence to the next stage with them because certain items are required and they are teleported to a new part. This gets boring for both of us because Wynncraft is way more fun with friends and when we're separated and I'm just waiting for them it ruins the vibe of the game. I know I'm going to get bashed saying "Are you stupid? The point of the game is to do quests and thats that, you help the person. In real life you wouldn't go the same person and act like you never did anything" and I get that.. however this isn't real life and the answer is right in front of you. It's a game.. You can do whatever you want to a game, even so I find some quests really fun actually and to be able to just redo a quest just for the fun would add a new level to the experience I have on the server.

 

what? im pretty sure you can...

 

"You cannot teleport while in a storyline!"
Nope, in certain quests, you can't. This mechanic was introduced with A Grave Mistake (Why can you use a scroll after being glitch-teleported there? The "Storyline" variable is triggered by a tripwire near the entrance).

 

can you show me?

 

Seeksarian just answered that. I was having that problem when trying to use a scroll. I assumed it was because you can't teleport during quests.

 

If you'll take it as an answer, the game mentions "A strong spiritual force pulls you towards the graveyard, making it impossible to leave the area any other way than walking." when you enter the graveyard. If you still want to try (and for all I know the mechanic won't work, idk) enter the graveyard without using mobility spells on a class that hasn't done it yet, see if the dialogue has triggered, and if it has, stay in the heart of the graveyard and try to use a scroll.

 

but can you not use scrolls outside of the quest area tho?

 

You can use scrolls. If you exit the vicinity, you will get another message about the pull lessening, but what does this have to do with the mechanic occurring in A Sandy Scandal?

 

wdym? same thing
if ur not in the tnt room, you should be able to tp. frankly you should be able to tp even if your in the tnt room

 

Allowing quests to be canceled would be a massive job, and would most likely end up causing more problems than fixing them. The quests these days use several separate features to run; CMBs, YML, wynnscript... Making sure all of these reset properly would be nearly impossible. In worst case scenario, stopping running events could result in permanently incompletable quests, heavy abusing of the system, or even corrupted data.

You should probably pay attention to threads and notes made by the CT about broken content. After the update out of 1.8, a whole bunch of unexpectable issues arose in the entire game due to Mojang's undocumented changes.

 

You can just do /kill

 

Ah okay, had no idea so many different things went into creating quests and such

I stated that I did use /kill multiple times. However that wasn't my problem, my problem was I wasn't able to use a teleport scroll during a quest because I kept getting the message "Cannot teleport during storyline"

 

Cancelling quests is a good idea

 

If it works in other quests and just not that one, I think it’s safe to assume it’s more so a bug than a purposely implemented feature. Cancelling quests would just be confusing. As for redoing quests, maybe. Maybe just make it so you can travel freely between quest areas? For example, Craftmas Chaos. I’m not 100% sure if this is already a thing or not, but make it so you can keep traveling back and forth between past, future, and present in the same way as you would through the quest (just without having to complete any of the before objectives).

 

add pool 10char

 

This is fixed bubble switching servers
