Thread: I FOUND A TREASURE MAP!!!!!!!
Well this is the deal...me and some friends were running to my house on Talus to help me pack and move too Corellia where our new Guils Hall is.....Well we got aggroed by an bunch of sorry, kiting, annoying little freaking demon possed teddy bears with chipmunk voices called Drall!
Well we laid waste to these jerks and just happened to loot one and found an data disk that had a Waypoint to some Pirate Captains Treasure....well I just fraked out and sent a /tell to my cousin and told him that once I ditched these other guys we would go hunt for the treasure! Man we were so pumped! I had visions of Millions in booty in my head and though this is too good to be true.....well after 10 minutes of lying and making up excuses of why I had to leave, I finally got away from the new guys I met and met up with my cousin and we set off.....2000m trip to a glorious beam of light decending from heaven like the finger of God pointing to a treasure trove of riches...right.
Well we spend a full hour deactivating and reactivating the waypoint because we could not figure out how to make it work...and on top of that the waypoint moved 50m everytime I reacitvated it! I thought this is just capitol! Well I finally selected the data disk in my inventory and it finally came up with and "extract Treasure" COmmand in which i did.
AS SOON as we pulled the chest out of the ground 8-10 pirates appeared out of nowhere and attacked us! We fought and finally punked them all out and then it was treasure time!
I got to the chest, selected it and hit open and .....(Drumroll) A FREAKING CDEF PISTOL AND A WOODEN STAFF!!!!! OMG....SOMEBODY KILL ME BEFORE I STALK AND KILL THE DEVS! Who the hell ever came up with the sinister idea to put me through mental hell only to build my hopes up smash them into oblivion....I was so freaking mad I could have eaten a 10penny nail!
The fact is the Devs in numerous interviews and posts have benn wondering why we wont "wean off" mission terminals and get envolved in the "Countless" other things to explore and do such as theme parks and the like....I have a sneaky suspicion that it might be because THE PAYOFF SUCKS! Dude...I mean 3 hours of play for a pistol and a staff...what the hell kinda treasure is that!
Mission terms pay way better in way less time than to get envloved in all the other stuff...."other missions are just as rewarding"....yeah and here comes Moses in a HUM-V!
Well, Xeonus, I never thought the day would come, but I agree with you here.
Could have been put more constructively, but the point was valid.
I actually found my first treasure map on the third day of release so when I found a CDEF Pistol and a metal and a swooper helm, I was pretty stoked. Have since destroyed each one and have done some research on mulitple servers with characters from multiple classes and skill levels and the rewards are all crap regardless. This could be a fun sub-game if they made it worth it. I'm sure they'll get around to it. They always do.
BTW, It's not my giving you 1 stars, but I still think it's somewhat funny. Don't sweat it man, no one really pays attention to that anyway.
What the F**** does this post have to do with Teras Kasi Forum ?
Take this noobish crap to your server boards.
<--- Veteran of 3 Treasure Hunts before sanity overwhelmed me, and I started feeding the mapsto the Destroy button.
Not only that, but you don't get to keep the cool looking container. Walk too far from the Waypoint, and the treasure chest, along with anything inside it poofs from your inventory. So if you aren't careful, that CDEF pistol and metal staff could be destroyed before you even had a chance to use them! Oh no!!
Yes.. There is content in this game beyond the missions.. but it tends to be buggy, broken, and/or have pitiful rewards. The mission terminals are the safest bet, because when they get buggy, the Devs fix them right away.
For example, I've rescued the entire town of Mos Taike from savage Tusken Raiders, sneaking out into the desert to drag back NPC's to the safety of the town. Wasn't easy, because at the time, the Tuskens were a lot stronger, I had to go out several times, and my maskscent was iffy. For this, I got no badge, about 200 credits, and the heartfelt thanks of an NPC that no longer even remembers me. A cool quest, but I would have to be very bored to repeat it.
Ever think of picking the chest up first?
I thought it was pretyy weel established a while ago that treaure hunts sucked.
