| Soriku said: Btw, can someone explain how this online thing works. I mean, for example if I want another person to go on a quest with me, how does the game know that? I know when you take the quests online it asks for the number of players and also a password. Is it that if say I'm just playing with one other person, we both set the number of players to 2 when we take the same quest? Or is it just the first person who takes the quest? So after that we'd both leave and we'd be on the same quest? Also what's that password for? |
You and any other potential quest participants have to be in the same City. You sign up for a quest at the counter (just like offline where the colored tag appears above your head), and then other people in the city can sign up at the quest board next to the counter.
The password (i imagine, i've never seen it used) is when you want to keep other people in the city out of your quest. I would think it's rather pointless, because the quest-initiator has so much power over the quest otherwise, it's kinda hard to let unwanted people in, especially since no-one else can join once you've embarked.
You can set the number of players also as a way of excluding people, which is again, a little pointless, since you and the people you want with you can just leave without all quest members (it's easier to make the mistake of leaving quest members behind, actually, which i've both seen happen, and have had happen to me...), though setting a limiter on the number of players might (and don't quote me on that, as i have no idea what i'm talking about on this point) alter the strength of the monster. A quest intended for four might have a monster that can reasonably take a beating from four players, though i'm only speculating that because its one of the few ways such an option would make sense.
Long story short: password and player limits might be pointless, other people sign up for quests you initiate, but once the quest is embarked, you're stuck with those players, only quest with those in city (limit of 4)
