View Full Version : Just another Idea, for the pile.

k get this.

I was thinking, how about something like a "Remember" toggle for a character, right. You have buy it and all that, expensive as hell, and costs a ton, because, sure, why not.

Anyway, the way it works, is that it remembers what difficulty you did a quest on last life, and when you TR, or eTR, you can then count that quest as done by simply visiting the quest giver, you would get:

EXP for whatever Difficulty you had done it on in the past, including:

Bravery & Streak, (if you are in the right level range, and have the right difficulties done in the past)
VoM (if you remembered to have it on)
Potions (if under the effect of)
Ship Buff (if you got it)
Ransack
Conquest
Flawless
Persistence.


Favor for your new life.
End Reward (Coms, Series Completion, items from sands for flagging, etc, whatever you would have gotten from the quest giver, you get)

You would NOT get:

Loot from the quest itself.


The idea is simple, some people Iconic TR, and have a series of old quest done on elite, and going back and favor farming those quests again, kinda sucks to put it mildly, so, I thought up this idea, to save time.

If you wanted to do a harder difficulty, IE: Lets say you did Normal Last life, and want to do Elite, you would need to run the quest.

If you wanted any loot from the quest itself, you would have to run the quest.

You would only get to use this feature, once per life, per quest, and then, only on a quest you have already completed in your previous life.

No one else in your group would benefit from this.

The quest giver has an "Text Option" that says "Remember me?" and if you use it, and everything applies, they say some stupid line like "Oh I remember you Now!" and BAM, EXP, Favor, Turn In, Done. go away.

So now is when I say something like "What do you all think?" and people that as an invite to tell me how much they think this idea sucks.

I don't think the idea sucks, so much as it sounds dull. Like the game is on auto-pilot.


I'd like a Remember function if it remembered what your character looked like, presuming the same race, including purchased cosmetic changes. It would also be nice if a Remember function, if purchased, would remember your UI setting account-wide and I'd not have to manually reconjigger em each time I create a character.



/my two cents

yah, but I was coming from the view of a means to clean up favor after an Iconic TR. Doing Catacombs is brain-pain, even if I am a 20th level wiz-rogue and can literally burn my way though it.. just Ugghhhhh.. yuck..

Fair enough - but I stand behind my sentiments. Just sounds like it'd be exchanging one sort of tedium for another, in my opinion.

That, and it'd get pretty dang absurd because you get free Turbine points from getting favor. The whole point of TRing is that "start over" aspect. So, instead of this insanely complicated rigmarole just say "I want to be able to buy past lives directly without actually TRing". It'd be a lot faster and less complicated.

Humm Otto boxes make it so you can buy a TR if you want, so don't see the issue..

But, good point on the TP, maybe have it so that that the Favor does not count towards TP or maybe have it so that IF you use the ability you don't get TP favor that life..

I'm thinking that they just need to let iconics TR back to level 1 like everyone else. Sure, I get that new players might want to start at level 15 with an iconic, and that can stay. But if you're going to TR an iconic, go all the way back to level 1. TR'ing to level 15 creates problems, like favor and bank space issues, for example. It's just weird and unnecessary.

Maybe, but equally so, I'll admit, if my Iconic did not start at 15th, I would not have bought it.

This idea has other uses as well, like capping out Amrath favor, for Yugo pots, it's silly to have to do that every life, when the exp is so dismal.

Or maybe just to get a quick LOB Flag, for the one time this year that it gets run by my friends (this really handy if you just TR'ed an older toon that had at one time flagged for everything because you did not expect to TR them again)
