In any MMOs created the last 12 years. It might be an amazing zone in a month when there will be 2 or 3 guys doing them.
Not only are they so ******ed that anyone that touched a mouse knows everything they tell you, but you limit the quest items so much you create several bottlenecks within the first 10 levels of the game.
I seemed to get credit even if I only get one or two hits in. If you're having trouble targeting, using "/target <name>" worked well for me. I was having more problems finding some quest NPCs as the marker above their heads sometimes took a while to show and with the crowds around some it was hard to find their names.
Overall I think the newbie quest line was made fairly well. Considering how many players there were, I expected it to be a lot harder to make progress.
Is it possible to skip that? I tried but couldn't find a way to go elsewhere. Spent a ridiculous amount of time just to get to level 10, lol. Or can we skip the newbie line altogether with future characters?
The funny thing is that they made an instance at the starter village when you enter that cave thing but oh noes they didn't think that the gazillion players will still be gazillion on the next quest :)
Double Epic fail all the way.
Also Epic Fail Launch is Epic Fail.
Just saying ^^ DC Universe **** all over again.
Requiring everyone to do an instance solo for 1st class change quest is ******ed. The instance has a limited amount of people allowed to be running it at a time while easily 300+ people are standing around spamming the npc for the past hour.
It wouldn't be too bad if the normal one would let me do it... They still have the normal quest in the game, the NPC is still there, they even tell you to go there. But they don't let you start it. If you are gonna take a quest away, actually take it away. Don't leave it in there but just disable the actual getting of it...
These quests are the biggest let down EVER. Every L2 update has brought some new features to the game without ruining it but these quests are sooo garbage.
I mean, this isn't Korea...
Maybe those players are into quests and instances but I doubt many of the NA players are. Where's the old L2 where the simple task of hitting a few mobs got you exp? Now I have to search for lost books and mourn the dead?! Wtf NC....
You had so many players you could barly get the servers up, but after those quests, good luck keeping those players. Seriously, I'm so disappointed I logged out.
favorite post here "Only the strong servive". Just imagine having to go out of town and having fight for mobs to lvl or complete quests, what a horrible design. Oh wait this IS lineage 2 thats how its always been and its even easier now since you have the quests. This is not your average US (I got max level in a day) MMO. If you want something bad enough go take it. You can pvp from lvl 1 up you know.

L2 hasn't always been quests and competing for mobs. There has always been the option of doing certain quests! I mean, from level 1 to 20 doing quests is just stupid....
It's almost like they copied the lame *** quests from other MMOs like WoW or Aion. If I wanted to do quests, well, I'd play WoW or Aion!!!
I've never been one to complain when new updates were released, but this is getting far from the L2 I knew and enjoyed.

Honestly this Myth that retail players are smarter/more comprehensible than Private server players is ridiculous. At least read the thread first. We're talking about how the new Quest lines are effecting the game. Imo they're taking the fun out of the free world that was L2.

Everyone here knows its true.
Can't compete with people at the start then the tears will only come later rather than sooner. Glad you chose to soak your mom's shoulder now rather than being some scrub level 80 wondering why everyone is so mean to you.
Of all the games I have played, including the beta for this game, this has been by far, the ABSOLUTE worst newb-type experience of my gaming life. I have been trying to one hour to complete a certain quest, involving corpses, and have yet to collect one weeping, crying whatever ******** for this god**** quest. WTF??
I can understand the mechanics based on the lore, but it is for total **** in practice. I even made a macro for this quest and still.
... there it is, the cry wave continues. It's really amusing to read all these and similar post or ig pm's about, how screwed everything is, why there's no global gk, no npc full buffs/songs, etc, how difficult and messed up it is. Wonder, what the cries will be about, when they actually start to pvp, considering they can't deal with pve or pvp at lvl 1-20...
i love how all the low lvl ppl say it took me 1/2/3 hour to do the quest... on c 1 it took me 8 hours to do the elven oracle quest... stop crying dam... this is a launch week if you want to be alone in low lvl stop stop playing now and come back in 6-8 months...

Stop crying dam...
It's not about the amount of people or the amount of time it takes. They're just terrible quests! When have we have in the entire history of L2 had to escort dogs?!?!
There has always been given a choice to the player whether they want to do a quest or not and go level (with a few exceptions). But now I have to do these dumb little quests for every toon I make?
I remember one start of one concrete server back in the old theys, when updates to this game were still calld a "Chronicle".
This server has announced its launch a week or two in advance. There were THOUSANDS of ppl logged in the first day. There were SEVERAL HOURS long waiting lines for quest mobs for 1st class transfer.
This is how this game works.
...so happy NOT to be a new player right now on whichever server...
About those complaining that this newbee experience is the WORST ever... I played GoD on Russian servers without these 1000's of players trying to kill the same monster as you did, and it was AWESOME. Think you all (the new players with joindate Nov/Dec 2011) gotta see things in perspective...

The problem with your logic is that many people often go one step further and say that because it is so, it is good. Which is false, whether or not it is true, it is false logic.
I love all these people complaining, I was helping older player though, I gave those crying noobs who thought flagging on level 85/86 person in full gear a smart idea a free soe back to town.
I killed about 15 of them it was like swatting gnats. Probably told tales of the mean higher level player that killed them when they were just trying to do a quest.
Dont know what quest they were doing but flagging on me is not a quest lol
