You lost me at Gloriana's Tears

[Dr. Necessiter]

The story has been pretty straightforward so far. Complete quests in a realm to progress.. simple enough.

But then I get to Gloriana's tears, and the main questline (A permanent portal) is broken down into three sub-quests, with little to no information on how to proceed...

Yes, there are hints. There are also guides and posts that explain almost exactly what you are supposed to do, but there is absolutely no way to know in game what, how, or where you are supposed to get these three rare items.

The quest says:
"Elder Eoten can be found in the forest gauntlet"

Without providing the player ANY KIND OF CLUE HOW TO GET THERE.

I know this is an early-access game, and the developers are making positive changes to turn this into a better product, but it has really fallen short here. I hope future revisions to this quest line better explains what a player should be doing so they dont waste a lot of time running into dead-ends from old/bad info I tried to search out online because I couldnt figure it out in the game.

I'm not looking for an explanation on how you figured it out, or how easy it was when you went through that realm. I just wanted to vent because the path to progress just falls flat here.

I have learned if i dont make progress i should make progress. Overcome my old Blueprint of thinking, no not thinking, beeing told what to do. ^^
Thats interesting.

Think if its not intentional thats where EA kicks in. Thats also interestin how far its playable without the "guide".

...and they want to rule the world...

You must have missed something. Note: "Elder Eoten can be found in the forest gauntlet" is quite enough. Literally, it means finding a portal with a given name, going to this realm, and finding Elder Eoten in it. To do this, you need to use Spyglass and the Track Legend spell, if you possess it. But you can do it without it.

Bro, don't listen to the people telling you that you're wrong lol, I just did this, I used Reddit to find them all.

You need to use the three portals that aren't open. You can make the cards for the Gauntlet portals.

Desert = Find the Sun Giant. (Use your looking glass) kill it and loot the ingot
Swamp = Just go to the massive robot and kill the Fabeled Duke, take his oil
Forest = Look for the tree guy it tells you that you need to kill with the looking glass again, make sure it's fabeled.


The game does a piss poor job telling you what to look for, it's fun but I 10000% agree.

I just wanted to tell you that your venting is moot. If you pay attention to dialogue, it LITERALLY TELLS YOU how to do this. We just finished going to all 3 portals, because you're getting things for Nellie, which is also a quest. Never had any confusion or questions and certainly didn't need to search outside of the game itself for how to do something.

Don't blame the game or the devs because you refuse to pay attention to very obvious information.

Also, case in point with idiot above me (Valor) you don't need to KILL anything, which is the entire point of the quests. Fairly certain the only reason the Hallowed Moor even exists is to give you quests on how to create offerings to get the things without having to kill them. Again, the game tells you EXACTLY what to do. Lack of reading comprehension skills is on you guys, not the game.

I've also gotten stuck at Gloriana's tears, not because I have any issue with the instruction but because I decided that to get my money's worth I had to build at least one thing out of each tile set, and it turns out that starts to get really, really time consuming.

Except for the shack set. The shack set was nice and quick. I liked the shack set. If I just wanted to build one big base and be done with it, I'd be firmly opposed, but it took so much less time that I ended up skipping the ornate tier of gear entirely.

If you want to complete all the quests, you will have to kill.

Yeah, spoilering myself here, but..
..its surely not rare that people tend to put some stuff in the Cases somewhere and those bigger quests can be pretty annoying when you have to puzzle things togehther that might happen over time.
I think thats why many manage those things meanwhile with just having achieved something, than bringing 3 things from different places somewhere after maybe 2 weeks of playing.
The Case with the offerings, is the same with fishing, never did that so far, see them all around but what to offer? Got lost somewhere along the Journey til i have to jump in the cold water.
And yes, those very obvious infos getting parrtially lost by missing translation also.

And yes, it tells you, you have two choices, kill them or the friendly way. I dont need to comment this further, you have confirmed itself, so much about exactly, exactly is there but not everywhere, right around the next guess.

You should not forget that not everyone is so into gaming or your world of fantasy and can understand what abstract things you want us to do.

yup if you do it the "Humane" way you can get to the next bit but you cant unlock achievements.. Logic fail again from the Devs

While we are about it I can't be the only one wishing their was a way to get Grendel cloth whiteout turning them into chutney as well. Hmm?

The quests etc are OK but not very well thought out here.

[Dr. Necessiter]

My gripe is specifically with wording and flow.

Everything up to this point seemed pretty clear. But you these quest parts (which I can appreciate for being deeper and having different options to complete) are not well explained and I just fumbled around for a while before shutting off the game and taking a break.

I already had the gauntlets unlocked, and merely needed to open them at the crossways, but there was nothing that suggested I needed to do that so maybe they can revise the wording in this quest-line to make it more clear to thicker-headed players like myself.

[Snipesnippydiznipsnipzipndidip]

I think a good another example is when you craft the Bicycle for enhancement.
You need brass, and at the same time it tells you something about legierungsbarren or alloy ingots, ...to translate it. It was the Messingbarr...

It took me some time to think the step how to get a legierungsbarren.

I have some more but...im new to this...

I agree.
