Hello good,
I have thought the following, after reading the comments of I have seen that most are divided between "guide me" or "tell me where it is".
From my own experience in MMOs focusing only on tracks can be a lot of fun and immersive, but the first few days. After a while it becomes a bit heavy or just on the days when you don't feel like using your head.
On the other hand, others are not old school players or are directly new to MMOs, this makes it "difficult" for them to advance at the beginning and they can get frustrated.
For this reason, I think it could be a good option to do the following:
That the missions have clues (well written please) and tell you where and what to do. Also give you a clue on the map of where the target may be approximate.
And now the solution, place an option either on the map or directly in the gameplay options of the game, of "Deactivate mission help" and that disables the guide on the map and only the clues remain in the mission text.
In this way, both old school players and more "casual" or novice players will be able to adjust the form of the game that they like the most and in the event that a veteran gets frustrated with a mission, badly written or difficult to find, they can always activate that option.
Sorry for my English, it is not my mother tongue.
Greetings and thanks for reading me.
The thing with the "activate/deactivate mission help" is that limits the interaction with the enviroment; why would i ask someone else if i can activate the help? why would i explore that hill if theres no quests there? Both of this questions can be solved just by having the people not knowing exactly where to go. Of course i dont mean there has to be a sudoku in each quest just to know where to go. But just with a simple: "behind that mountain", "by the river" "between this 2 camps"... i think is good enough.
Lets imagine a quest which is given through a riddle, whats the point of solving it if you already know where to go?
"En el término medio está la virtud." (sorry i dont know how to translate that, "in the middle term its the virtue"?) just dont make it for dummies :)
