Please give us a quest tracker and then some.
There are a few like myself who either hit a snag in a quest or could not find the next objective/turn in NPC.
For me it was Breaking the Ward, where I could not find Bodring at Driladan Pass to turn in my quest, as it would tell me to go through the Northern exit of the main town, and as I would go through, it would then tell me to turn right back around and head into town.
After trying to no avail to find him, I finally abandoned the quest in hopes to pick it back up again and hope it reset itself correctly.
To my surprise the quest is nowhere to be found now and I am stuck at 40/45 qests complete in Greenshade according to the achievements list, while my brother has completed all 45.
This is important for multiple reasons.
The first of which is the most obvious. Story progression. Many of us want to experience the game's lore and story telling, and if we can't pick up the remainder of quests in a given area, then we are left unable to experience the game as you intended.
Secondly, experience points. Again, many of us complete quests to level as evenly as the game design has intended, without speeding through or having to grind enemies.
Thirdly, skill points. This one I can't stress enough, there are some quest chains that have a skill point and some well earned loot rewards that might be handy to a crafter to break down. If I knowingly cannot participate in the remaining 5 quests in my area, how can I ever know what those items may have been or if a skill point was involved?
Fourthly, completionists. Lets all agree that the only reason achievements even exist is it drives people to do more, to care more and to evoke pride in themselves knowing "I've done all I absolutely could here." That becomes more frustration than anything when you cannot accomplish certain tasks due to a glitch or hinderance of some sort.
Whats even more strange is: in Auridon, I hit the achievement for completing quests in the area, the number escapes me now, but lets say 43/43 quests. I still had a few left to complete at this point, which leaves me wondering if in Greenshade, my 40/45 might actually mean I'm missing more than 5 quests.
Tl;dr- Please give us a way of tracking quests we haven't completed, and a more appropriate way to pick up quests we may have been forced to abandon for one reason or another. I understand the game is designed so that not every single quest giver is displayed on your map from the get-go to encourage discovery and exploration, but when I compare my map to someone else's and my achievements to someone else's and theydon't add up, there needs to be a way to resolve that.
Please let us know if a fix is coming for this. I currently sit frustrated at my 5 or more incomplete quests in Green Shade, and it all started with "Talk to Bodring at Driladan Pass" turn in for Breaking the Warf. Which I have seen a few others struggle with in a forum post.
Thanks. Sorry for the rant and I absolutely love and adore this game. I just hope there are some fixes to issues like these, that are just as important, if not more so to some of us, than bots and gold spam. I understand you must allocate your resources and man power to areas that are most in need, I just hope this is one of them.
