Let there be light - Quest Idea

[Autolycus]

Hello all,

So I'm not sure if I have the right to post this here, but I was reading around and a lot of posts said to post ideas and such in this forum, in order to get feedback on said ideas. If this doesn't belong here, please feel free to remove it.

Edit: realized that my phone's version of the editor is v6.10dev1, so some things might be different in newer versions...also it's a good thing I posted these when I did, my browser just refreshed

4/18/2014 - Updated Quest Log + Added Shadow Monsters
4/20/2014 - Updated Quest Log to v7.2 + Updated Dialogue to match Quest Log

[Zukero]

Hello Autolycus.

Good job getting around the content editor.
I guess we'll need the "quest" data export too (the part with the quest log, and the steps; i.e. what text matches eltyh_temple:40).
I'll give you a more detailed feedback hopefully tomorrow, once I'll find the time to run it in the content editor, and view in a more human-friendly way !
However, judging by what I saw at a glance, it seems to touch the Elythara topic, which is being covered also by an upcoming quest we are currently working on. You can get in touch with user "ctnbeh13" to avoid any kind of overlapping or inconsistencies. Anyway, changing the "topic" of that quest should be rather easy (keyword swapping) should you need to.

Thank you for your work and time ! Keep it coming !

[Autolycus]

Sweet, thank you for the help Zukero.

Should I post the other stuff (I.e. actor conditions, items, quest log) here as well?

[sdevaney]

Always interested to see what the community comes up with.

[Autolycus]

Do you guys still need content or quest ideas? I've been away from the game for a while, but will be graduating soon, so I'll have more free time...

[Autolycus]

I've gotta be more careful about double posting...
