    Default Notice Board Invasion

    Wow umm, yeah that's a lot of notice boards all over the landscape.

    Personally it looks all cluttered, especially House J with boards all along the roadway?

    I know you're trying to point new players to the right direction but I'm not a fan of them all over the place. House P was better (I still didn't like them much). If we have to have 7 or 8 of them instead of one, it would look better to have them against the wall as you zone in or something...or by the House building?

    I know I know, moving them out of the way means they're not directing new people but blah.

    Oh well

    Yea, this was my only complaint about the redesign of all the house wards and the market place.

    Yeah, everywhere. House J was one of the worst IMO...the road just as you turn right and go past the tavern...8 of them.

    I mean I can tell the chalice concept on top of the board is WHY there are so many of them but wouldn't 1 or two boards with sub menus be SO much more clean?

    With a multi-quest board with conversations, you'd have to forgo the quest chalice but your sub-menu could pop open a window like the Adventures tab which could indicate your quest status, completion level etc. You could have the quest description/flavor text above that small quest status block if those type of UI elements can be mixed that is. /sigh

    Here's hoping we find something better

    I actually like them. I'm a fan of dense areas with a lot of things in them, and these help make the wards feel "busy".

    Busy. Yeah like the side of the highways at traffic lights the week before elections. Signs, and people waving at me trying to get my attention while I'm trying to go about my business.

    Different strokes

    On the other hand, I REALLY like the reaction of the soldiers in House D saluting! I hope they DON'T do that if you have low favor with them, that would be AWESOME. /rolls up a newb character just to check

    Better they be posted in obvious places easily visible to the new players than scattered. If they were scattered to make it more aesthetically pleasing not as many would notice them and thus defeat the boards original purpose.

    Did you notice the notice boards?
    Yes?
    Then they served their purpose.
    Sometimes the obvious answer is right there all along.

    Same here. It gives the areas more life.
