SnJester Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'd like to suggest that the quest givers (Heroic & Flashpoint ) are given a separate or easier means of identification other than the default yellow quest icon that is currently given to all quest NPC's, this would make it (IMO) easier for a player to tell who does what rather than having to spend time going through the dialogue and discovering at the end that the quest is a heroic or flashpoint mission (This would be for people who don't want to do heroics or flashpoints but still want to do normal quests). Please feel free to tack your thoughts below, however keep it constructive and don't ramble on inanely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboB Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'm reading that the story provided to you is too in-depth. Correct me if I am wrong? Also, spacebar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitas Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Agreed. This has been constantly requested on the forums, seems like a simple in-game change to make. In addition, another colored icon to help players identify which heroices they've done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlergirl Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I get what the OP is saying. You can spacebar through the convo, but if you dont want to do heroics at all it would be nice to have a different indicator over the npc's head to let someone know that said npc gives heroics. that way you can avoid them if you just want to do normal side quests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassat-Hunter Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Should be a different indicator (color) for Heroic 2 or Heroic 4 though. Me and my friend always do 2's, but dump the 4's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us who only find out AFTER the dialogue that the NPC is a heroic/FP quest giver. This would help a player identify straight away if the NPC was a regular quest giver or a group quest giver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnJester Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 In addition, another colored icon to help players identify which heroics they've done before. This could be integrated into the original NPC's icon, for example when the quest is turned in the NPC's icon remains an alternate colour ( I believe it does this already for mainline quests) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetFish Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Each type of mission should have its own color, for example: Normal: Yellow Planet Chain: Blue Class: Red Daily: Purple Flashpoint: Green Operation: Blue Event: White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TW-Cool Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 In addition, another colored icon to help players identify which heroices they've done before. I prefer this idea the most. It's hard to keep track of what missions I've done. I see a quest option on the map and speed over there, only to find it was a Heroic I did last week. Dang it. Regular new Heroics are fine though. I collect them in my quests until someone advertises it in General Chat or I wait until I'm done with the planet and see if anyone wants to do them. If not, I'll just abandon them ha. Flashpoints however should also be a different color since Flashpoints involve us leaving the planet. However, usually a flashpoint giver is standing next to a shuttle and I can put 2 and 2 together.

Er.....mission clear states Heroic 2+ or 4.Cant get any simpler than that.You do have to READ the first line of the box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started this topic there was no such identificaiton from a QG until you had accepted the quest This was the reason that I suggested having HQG's and the like a different icon so that people could tell at a glance just from the icon over their head whether the NPC was a SQG or HQG & above... Acronyms: QG = Quest Giver HQG = Herioc Quest Giver SQG = Solo Quest Giver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohkai Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I would like to see all quest giver marked more clearly to be honest. I like having nameplates on for everything, and the friendly NPC nameplate hides the current marker. Suggestion move the symbols up higher, make them brighter, and color code them. Yellow: standard quest Orange: heroics Purple: OPs Class quests are hard to miss..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
