Implement more SAGAS please! (2024)

The concept of SAGAS became a standard to make people do certain quest lines. But, now it has make some quest lines "almost mandatory" when leveling or going for Epic/Iconic lifes.

Why not make more SAGAS?

Pros:
- Increase quest run diversity
- Parties sticking together for more time (Don't know you all, but sometimes I start playing with some people on Lord of Dust and when I see we still together for What Goes Up, but in other quest lines it breakes fairly sooner)
- Revitalize some not so much run content

Cons:
- More Exp avaliable
- Fast TRs
- People would still end up running the same quests everylife (But, most already do it, right?)

Some ideas for SAGAS would be:
- The Starter (For completing ALL Korthos + Harbour questlines)
- The Free Style (For completing ALL quests tagged as free on Harbour + Marketplace)
- The Houses Liberator (For completing ALL quests tagged as free on Houses Kundarak, Jorasco, Phiarlan and Deneith)
- The Kundarak Emissary (For completing Ataraxia + Red Fens + Vault of Night quests)
- The Deneith Soldier (For completing Sentinels + Spies in the House + The Pit + The Depths)
- The Jorasco Healer (For completing Deleras + Xorian Cypher + Haunted Library + Enemy Within + Dream of Insanity)
- The Phiarlan Entrepanour (For completing Carnival + Tangleroot + Threnal)

There are more possibilities, but is what comes to mind! Just More SAGAS Please!

You took it the wrong way. The forum "Suggestion" section is mensages for the Devs, right? (Or I got it wrong, if so, sorry... my bad) Us players give suggestions, us players upvote to make it reach the Devs.

When I say "Cons" is from the Devs perspective, since they are always trying to diminish Exp/min for the players.

The madness saga: Delirium, Harbinger of madness, Reign of Madness, and Heart of madness Chains.
Practically no one would do it probably cause of Acute and Terminal Delirium. But its by far the one most worthy of an actual saga.

This^. I might tie it into the Mimic Event somehow, maybe have the M.E. consumables randomly show up on the reward list. It would be awesome if the Houses/Factions got their own sagas... personally I would have the House Cloaks show up in their reward lists... maybe eventually add matching armor/shields too but that would be a stretch goal.

And yes we've been told its too much work. Which sounds ridiculous but I have to assume its some behind the scenes massively long list of checks and variables that must be written and double/triple checked.

On the plus side for Marketing/Devs as long as it included purchased adventure packs and NOT just Free content it would encourage players to buy ALL the adventure packs.

On the other hand, doing this would discourage the devs from ever retiring really old content to the Free to play side which is something I advocate as too much of the game now is P2P. Particularly, I would prefer old content with attached wilderness zones be retired so that new adventure packs can be attached to those zones. Or at the very least make old wilderness zones Free to Play zones so they can act as advertisem*nt to entice players to purchase the adventure packs located within them.

I was thinking on suggest that as well, but backed of because seems almost impossible.

Like... Gianthold and Sands walkups became free to entice people (that didn't got the promo codes) to buy the packs to complete the Sagas. But, Sands would have to be a Saga first... so I hold me own tought on it.

I was thinking leaving the quests as Premium and only the wilderness zones being open to Free players so that they could see the adventure entrances and be intrigued enough to purchase the accompanying adventure packs... which would also leave it open and accessible to the devs to add new adventures occurring in the area.

Think about it...
If anyone could go into Menechtarun they could add whole new desert adventures there... they could introduce a Har'Akir Ravenloft mini expansion starting there.

If Red Fens was open to anyone we could get further adventures with Vulkoorim drow, maybe deeper in the fens or perhaps new underwater adventures located in caves just off the edge of the zone.

If Tangelroot was open to anyone we could have new jungle adventures maybe with lizardfolk, maybe Yuanti.

If Restless Isles were open to anyone maybe they could build upon the quori storyline and bring in a Kalashtar monastery that would fit right in to the style and décor of the area not to mention its vaunted inaccessibility. If they gave the Restless Isles a floor/water zone below we could have new underwater adventures there too. I really thought when they brought in Saltmarsh we'd get sharks... we need sharks.

If they ever, EVER decide to retire MotU maybe, just maybe we could fill out the Underdark and the King's Forest with more adventures or properly put some Druid's Deep quests out there. Imagine some Illithid/Elder brain content properly located in the Underdark.

Those are marvelous ideas!
Would be nice if Devs have the workpower to do some of it or even put some thoughts on it.
