[Group][Efthalia]: wtf
[Group][Efthalia]: are we trapped
[Group][Efthalia]: this is terrible game design
[Group][Aconite]: I think normally we’d be following a quest chain which would take us to the mainland
[Group][Efthalia]: yeah but if you’re creating an open world game you shouldn’t expect people to follow linear paths
[Group][Efthalia]: there’s no reason to restrict players interaction with the environment like that
[Group][Efthalia]: what if someone playing medusa wants to run around with someone playing an elf
[Group][Efthalia]: >.<
[Group][Aconite]: You’re cute when you’re ranting
[Group][Aconite]: I’m sure there’s a way. We just haven’t found it yet
[Group][Efthalia]: you’re cute when you’re being unhelpfully zen
[Group][Aconite]: I bet Ialdir will know
[Group][Efthalia]: your going to ask the high elf scum for directions?
[Group][Aconite]: He’s my best friend high elf scum
[Group][Aconite]: I’m going to text him
[Group][Efthalia]: I’ll look it up on HoLhead
[Group][Aconite]: Race you??
Drew was competitive enough that he didn’t even type “you’re on” before alt-tabbing. He soon realised that while the site was an indispensable resource for loot tables, gear lists, and build planners, it was surprisingly low on pages tagged “How to get out of the damn starting areas.” There was a page for basically every quest inHoL, so if there was a chain that took you from Krytos to the Bone Wastes he’d be able to find it, but then it was a game of “Guess what the low-level quest is called that takes you to the place you want to go.” Turned out, this was one of the few games that Drew was legitimately terrible at.
He was about to resort to googling “how to get out of Minea without a flight path” when he realised enough time had passed that he’d probably lost.
[Group][Aconite]: Jacob says there’s two boats manned by rival elvish captains in the NW of the city
[Group][Aconite]: There’s also a dude in the Temple of Serpentis who’ll give us a quest to speak to one of them
[Group][Aconite]: Drew?
[Group][Aconite]: Are you still there?3
[Group][Aconite]: Are you still checking HoLhead?
[Group][Efthalia]: okay you won
[Group][Aconite]: Ooh, what do I get?
[Group][Efthalia]: A luxury elvish cruise, a romantic walk through a swamp and this [Musty Shepherd’s Sandal]
[Group][Aconite]: Wow. Thank you.
[Group][Aconite]: I’m a bit worried about this [Musty Shepherd’s Sandal] though.
[Group][Aconite]: Do you think it belonged to a Musty Shepherd. Or do you think it is itself musty?
