As for the bread, it was there...but it got eaten...watched it happen
Bedroll was there, but it could of been taken as well. I picked it up once it was rolled up, but I put it back down befor I left.
That surprises me, usually locked down items are not for players to interact with......
I hope they were not important clues for the Mission or other players would be screwed up and unable to continue........
I agree that it dead ends in the room... or seems to anyway...
I find it annoying though. When the Mission was announced starting from Thorpe, it was my understanding that the "Cartography" Mission could be completed from start to finish and in a few days an "Alchemist" Mission would follow.
So, bumping in a "dead end" when one expects to be able to finish up the Mission
before the "Alchemist" one starts, can be upsetting.
Especially, if one was
not expecting it to be "dead eneded" and impossible to be finished thus wasting oneself time in search for clues which do not exist, simply because the Mission is not supposed to be finished up, yet.....
Just as an example, since the "tinkers" mention up "Mages" building the Moongate (but they are 2, plural, not 1, singular....), I heard of some players, not believing in the dead end of that empty room, because they were expecting to be capable of finishing up the Mission, to go to all and every Mages in the game (a few hundreds ??) and try asking various words in the hope to find further clues to finish up the Mission. I can only imagine the waste of one's one time to question each and every Mage in the game with multiple words in the hope of finding "what works".........
And that, only because of the expectation of being capable to end up the Mission
now, not on Sunday or who knows when.........
Perhaps some more details on what to be able to expect and what not, could help players not to waste too much of their time in search of what does not exist....
At least, that's how I see it.
In-game, when he spoke about Cart, I thought he mentioned a good Cart would know where things are on a map. Abit misleading maybe..but might of meant we would be able to find where the people are in town. So that we could talk to them and complete finding the Mayor.
I may have misunderstood, but just like me, I saw also other players understanding that "Cartography" and then for the other Mission "Alchemy" skills were required to take up and perform the Mission.........
Mayor might be in the room on Sunday... not sure really.
That's fine, if the story line does not expect players to find him until a certain date I have no problem with it. Only, players should know that the Mission cannot be ended yet because noone is supposed to be able to find the Mayor as of yet.
This way, players would not keep searching fruitlessly for further clues which simply do not exist to try finish up the Mission now. They would find the room and stop there, because that is what the current status of the Mission allows to find at this time.
So, perhaps, rather than prompting players to find the actual Mayor, for the time being Thorpe should have stated that the Mayor
cannot be found but at least, players should start investigating the whereabouts of his "refuge".
If Thorpe started the Mission this way, players would know to stop once they found the room, the Mayor's "refuge", simply because Thorpe himself said that the current mission stops there, with finding the room. Finding the Mayor will come later on, as the Event unfolds.
I hope that things will be clearer for the "Alchemist" Mission so as to allow players to stick with what can be found and not search for what cannot yet be found, thus using up their time towards impossible findings.
I turned a book in with the steps I took to find the room.
We'll find out soon anyway...time to go
I am not sure I understand what you mean here. "Turned a book in" ? What book, where did you find it for players to pick it up and whom did you turn it to ? To Thorpe ??
I followed all of the clues from Thorpe to the empty room but found no book whatsoever that was supposed to be turned in to anyone. Neither Thorpe asked for a book to be found and be brought to him.
Can you please explain more in details what this is about ? Thanks a lot.
