Legends Updates: Updated Tower Training + Tutorial HUD
March 24th, 2021 by Mars Bracken
In an effort to make the intro to the game smoother for new players, we did an overhaul of the Crossroads Tower Training quest. There are several new steps, teaching a wider range of things (crafting, spending coins, using the Compass, etc.) and there’s a new ingredient (Bubblegum Mushrooms) and a new crafting recipe (Minor Stamina Potion) presented in the quest. The potion recipe can be learned at the Research Station as well.
We also added a Tutorial HUD to the Legends crate. The Tutorial HUD has moving gifs that illustrate various operations of the HUD and help guide the path through the training quest.
We also moved the freebie mesh rewards (and updated / added to them) to a reward box delivery at the end of the Wizard Training quest.
The new Tutorial completes by sending the adventurer down to the new Crossroads Notice Board at the base of the tower. This board has most of the Midlands quests on it, divided up into “Novice”, “Middling”, and “Advanced” (Expert is there but no quests on it yet).
Try the board out! In addition to making it clear where to find quests, it vends the Quest Flyer to show the rewards. While we do want to still have some quests that people can just ‘find’ in the RP areas, it seemed a good idea especially at Crossroads to give an easier path for new players to find things to engage with.
If you’d like to get the HUD and check it out, you can redeliver your Legends HUD (or other BL race HUD) and it should be in the Legends HUD crate.
We’ve also opened up the Crossroads Tower Training quest for repeats until the end of the week, so if you’d like to be informed so that you can explain it to new players or family members, give it a try!
*Note: as a result of the new Notice Board however, the Rumor Mill quest is a bit obsolete. We’re going to take that quest down temporarily and update it with some new hints and quests, and then will re-release that likely around the first week of April. Thanks for your patience.
