  • These are awesome, even if the first one really was terribly frustrating.  But exactly the kind of thing I love.

    One word of warning/possible note to the devs - when I finished the plant quest, it immediately gave me the light quest - even before I exited the first.  Thinking there might be a reason for that, I accepted the second quest without leaving the first.  Everything was fine until I finished the second quest.  When it put me back in the first one (grow), it put me in the middle of a wall and I couldn't exit except to open the img menu and go home.  Thankfully, I had already grabbed my rewards. :)

  • Cool! The first one is way too easy!! The second one was a good challenge ..havent got the 3rd one yet?

    It did say 'congrats' before I quite finished both of the quests but didnt offer me the 2nd til I got back home.

  • they probably should disable levitation.

  • I haven't gotten the Rube/Whizzards quest yet?
    Posted 89 days ago by Sororia Rose Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I haven't gotten the third one either. I'm wondering if it's connected to something or if there is a bug with it coming through.

  • same here...

  • The walk to the light is an absolute nightmare. I didn't have lag before entering or after but lag in the quest made it unplayable. I had to levitate throughout. A lot of people have reported the same.

  • So much jumping... =/

  • I've only gotten the light quest not the plant or rube one. :( 
    Posted 89 days ago by Lily Linguistic Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ditto, Cleops. My jumps were smaller than usual, as if I were pooped, and that plus lag made it very difficult. And I do console platformers all the time!

  • I lagged like crazy in the walk into the Light quest, had to reload but it was only marginally better after, luckily I was able to complete it , Love the puzzle just not the lag. Grow was fine but no Rube one for me either, well not yet, Has anyone got it yet?

  • I can't see the top of the screen in the grow one.
    Posted 89 days ago by snarkle Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That's what it was Faereluth. The jumps were much smaller than usual. I am usually very good at jumpy jump things. I don't think I missed too much as it doesn't seem that interesting a puzzle even without lag or whatever it was.

  • Still no Rube/Wrizzards quest. I'm in suspense!
    Posted 89 days ago by Lily Linguistic Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I especially like the Walk Toward the Light quest (a little more than the Operation:Grow quest only because it was a bit short).
    I really liked the fact that for "Walk toward the Light" you had to play around with the switches to advance to the next set of platforms, time your jumps before the lights turn off (turning on lights to make platforms is pretty neat too). Keep it up, TS! :)

  •  Has anyone gotten the Rube/Whizzards quest yet?
    Posted 89 days ago by rach.the.emobear Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Not yet. :(

  • I love the new puzzle quests (I liiiike puzzles), thank you!

    On the topic of the 'The Wrizzards and The Rube', for player info --

    I've tried to trigger it by: shucking 1 rubeweed for seed, munchin' 1, planting and harvesting 1 (in the community garden), donating 1, making an essences, then imbibing it and did a trade ... and nothing...  the only thing I haven't had, is Rube to come to me in his own time.

    ETA: I've also inspected the Rube shaped potato and .. "It looks like a potato that looks a bit like The Rube" (which i think is hilarious!).. and no, that didn't trigger it.

  • well a rare item trader popped up for me (the one thats face and all is completely covered) and said they needed something i think? but i ignored it not knowing cause i was looking for something, and then i went back and he said "never, you seem busy" ? im still kinda new to the game and idk if thats related to this or not.
    Posted 89 days ago by CookieAmbition Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Robin Hoodie, that may have been a Smuggler; they're the same "species" as the rare item vendors.
    Posted 89 days ago by devlogic Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Aaaaaa, okay. then i dont know. i got the plant quest and the lights thing already, nothing else for me. 
    Posted 89 days ago by CookieAmbition Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I tried the Light Quest but had no luck from the start. I have the levitation skill but have never used it. Does it only enable you to rise staight up or can you direct your movement to the side?
    This is the first quest/game that I can't seem to get anywhere at all.

  • TS! Where be Rube? Where be Whizzards? D:
    Posted 89 days ago by Sororia Rose Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It seems like the walk to the light the jump is tuned very very low and if you have a laggy pc its not even fun :( 
    Posted 89 days ago by satarell Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The rube just appeared for me as I was chucked out of the ancestral lands - so a missed opportunity I think :-( . Had the other quests and am loving the puzzle element so thanks TS :)
    Posted 89 days ago by Jendaline Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The new quests are awesome. Hope they're repeatable too...
    My question is: I was offered the "Walk toward the light" quest, and after completing it... nothing. Ideas what we need to do to get the others?
    Posted 89 days ago by Heatseeker Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I feel like i just taken an IQ test :P
    Posted 89 days ago by Misha Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Jendaline - fret not... I had a rube approach me without the essence and it also failed to trigger the quest. 

    Seriously dying to see it! The others have been so much fun :)

  • @Patricia.  Leviation once you select that option allows you to use the spacebar and a little side to side motion.  Try it out just to practice.  You'll love it.   Come in real handy.  Have a fabulous weekend.

  • I cannot do the Walk to the Light quest at all.  It is, as others have said, too hard to jump or walk far or fast enough inside the quest.  Jumping is no problem anywhere else, so think it must be the quest.
    It is a good puzzle, but just not possible to complete for me.
    I will try it with Levitation, which I have never used before so will experiment.

  • Sorry, I don't like puzzle quests.  The trend towards them is a real disappointment.
    Posted 89 days ago by Berry Goode Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Unlike Berry Goode I love these new quests. I dislike the basement streets though

    How wonderful of TS to provide for all our different tastes and preferences

  • I can't figure out the grow one.....really frustrating...I seem to get the plants as tall as they will go but ??  Just had a thought...maybe I should try watering them next time in?
    Posted 89 days ago by Anatole Nymph Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I love a good puzzle! ~not so much the ones where you have to be quick/agile, but I totally love the ones where you have to look and take in what you're looking at, as well as thinking your way through.

    Anatole, have a really good *look* at everything you see when you are in the 'Grow' puzzle, the answer is right before your eyes! ;D
    Posted 89 days ago by ~Scilly~ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Not keen on the new quests, but no doubt that's because I am so bad at them. I  probably will never complete Le Mis or solve the Grow one.
    Posted 88 days ago by Mollie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I was told that the third quest was not behaving properly, so staff's trying to fix it, and in the mean time, it's just not available.  So there's no need to do weird stuff to try to trigger it, though doing weird stuff can be fun anyway!

    I love puzzles, but the ones in this game are falling flat for me.  They're cute, but not challenging or interesting.  It would be terrific if the lovely blue and green bog scenery in the grow quest were turned into a street style, though, especially if it had a lot of platforms to stand on.  :D

  • glum, I think you have been immortalized in the growing quest. 
    Posted 88 days ago by Nanookie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I am so excited for these new quests!!  FINALLY, something challenging in the game...more challenges might keep me around a while, since I find so many things in this game boring as I've progressed because so much of this game gets almost too easy the higher level you go.  I don't necessarily want those things to change, because with all the hard work we have to put into getting to the easy stuff, it wouldn't be right for it to be even harder...but I am glad there is the introduction of new hard things, to keep my brain engaged.  Have often thought there needs to be new and different challenges the higher your level (especially things that you can choose to do or not do), and I hope these are a preview of what is to come.  I was worried when we lost the Rook's Egg Quest because so many people whined that it was too hard...but I loved the challenge of getting the timing right on that one even with the lag.  So thanks for adding challenges, especially some that not everyone will like...please keep the game well rounded for everyone!

  • The Walk Towards the Light quest was a nightmare for me, I ended up giving it up near the end because I have poor timing skills and reflexes. I don't think I can ever complete it. While I'm glad that many folks enjoy it, the lag plus my horrendous skills make it difficult for me.

    I did like the grow quest though, and I agree with glum that we should have that as a street style, as a bog lover, I'd be happy.

  • where are these quests?
    Posted 88 days ago by Sad Pollen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ahh, I haven't gotten any of the new quests :(
    Posted 88 days ago by Advent Subscriber! | Permalink
  • These sorts of quests seem a little 'bolted on' to me. Like the owner of a night club adding a sideroom and putting a few pinball machines and video games in it.

    They don't add to the canon or really build the game much. Are we that close to release that this kind of content is what the devs are working on? Why not open the game now if that's so?

    All the above said, new stuff is always fun. It just doesn't seem timely at this point.

  • The puzzle quests were challenging, and totally fun!! Dont change them, please.
    Posted 88 days ago by Innie✿, Obviously Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I really enjoyed the 2 I could do, excited about checking out the rube one when its good to go!
    Posted 88 days ago by Muncey Mango Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The grow one is all WTF, but then it's like DUH.

    :)
    Posted 88 days ago by E D D I E Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I like the puzzle quests, but I'd like to see long term, world based quests too. Something that requires exploration, more like the "new skill, new quest" quests.
    Posted 88 days ago by Nuveena Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Staff have said that the rube quest is not broken.  (There was a bug with the rube himself last night, but that got fixed.)
    Posted 88 days ago by Fnibbit Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ahh... crossed signals then!  Maybe the Rube himself can trigger the quest?

    Only half of my name is mentioned in the lead-up to the quest, but it did make me giggle. :)
