Quest Please Change/remove The Canyon Guides Quest [100+ Supporters, 91.9% Approval]

Ok. I just did this quest, and it's so incredibly annoying. No seriously, it's a bad quest.

Now, before I explain the problems with it, here's a short overview of the quest itself:

Spoiler: Quest overview

Basically, you talk to someone at the Banshu Air temple (or whatever its called) and they talk to you about how they guide people in the canyons, but apparently can't walk down a straight path north to find a dude.

You go to the guy, then he follows you back to the starter NPC and you finish the quest.

easy right! lol no

Now, there's some issues with getting the NPC to follow you, and the ones actually intended to slow you down don't do anything (besides spam chat and mess up his pathfinding).

Spoiler: Issues with the dudes pathfinding

1: Because he has a blue name (aka guard AI), he attacks all the mobs (although not actually doing dmg). This causes multiple issues, one of which is damage (which I'll get to later) but also causes him to refocus his attention on the mobs that are within a 10-20 block rage (idek the actual range so that my guess). When he focuses on another mob, he doesn't come back to you until 1: he's killed all the mobs and 2: you go right up to his face

2: Now, on top of that, his AI is well... not amazing. You walk up a canyon and there's a mob-like 30 blocks down, you bet ur ass he gonna go get it. Then you have to redo the same journey that you already did, again.

3: His walk speed is wayyyy too slow. I have to do a sideways F3 t make sure he was still following me, which FYI isn't fun. it would be amazing if he copied your walking speed instead.

4: Now, as I said earlier, he attacks mobs, and can take damage. Now, he only has 15000 hp (or smth like that, might be a bit different.), because he wants to finish off mobs, he'll basically kill himself trying (or kill me trying to get him to where he's supposed to go)

 

They changed Hidden City, which was one of the better CotL quests, but they didn't change this??

 

They should've just made Seluc a normal following NPC (e.g. c a i d) but made the obstacles cooler/more interesting. (the rockslides are pretty boring ngl and easy to avoid, just wait for the rockslide to despawn lol)

 

You forgot to mention that Seluc cannot damage mobs meaning that you have to kill them for him so he doesn't die

 

fixed btw

also noting the because of all my spammy responses (that I can't remove for some reason), its a bit hard to actually add the "100% supporters" or whatever

 

Did they change a lot about it?

I like the idea of the quest but it needs a rework. (Canyon Guides)

 

yea same here, its cool to add more lore to spaces, but I think the quest should be reworked to make it more about avoiding rockslides and intended mechanics then just spamming whatever spell you have

 

punp

 

Please remove this quest i hate it more than TOL.

 

This is my least favorite quest, up there with DND part 2

 

Bruh I can't believe such a quest exists

 

well assuming they don't immiditly fix it, you'll be doing it in 11 lv's

 

wondering who voted no lol

 

I wanna dd more poll options pls

 

bump 2/5 done!

 

i like how they made the gavel update but then left what is the new worst quest in the entire game in (since ROL got updated it's no longer the worst)

Other quests that need serious changing/replacement:

Thanos vaults
Elemental exercise
TotL
The lost

 

road to 50 supporters!

 

yeah quest was annoying, please just make him follow. Ignore mobs just follow like a good little monk

 

This quest was just a pain, you don't feel any sort of joy/satisfaction except for knowing it's finally over

 

yea, defo agree.
