A small observation / suggestion?

[brampson]

This is something that's nagged at me for a while now....the previous 2.0 guides all had little bits and pieces in them concerning most of the quests..just small observations from zygor saying things like "watch out for such and such here"...or..."be careful coming up to the next mob, because..." etc. etc. ... I've noticed in the new guide there are almost no hints or tips included now....and in a lot of cases, these are really needed. I understand about wanting the player to "discover" and " see the content", etc. ...but in my opinion, these bits of personalized info were what made the previous guides such a help in the first place and made the guide stand out from all the others. Would it be really that difficult to include these to the program? Thanks for listening!

explain more? those hints are still there. They're not on every quest bu I do remember seeing them.

What do you mean by "previous 2.0 guides" there was the old v1.0 guide which is now obsolete as it breaks blizzard's rules, and the new 2.0 guide relased a short while ago and subsequently tweaked with a couple of updates to fix bugs, so I'm not sure what you mean by "previous 2.0"

Apologies....what I meant was "prior to the new 2.0 guide"....I've been a zygor's customer for quite a while now and basically what I meant to say was it seemed to me that were a lot more "personal tips/hints" on the quests, that's all...the new 2.0 seems a lil "dry" in that dept....sorry for the misunderstanding!

Hmm, could you give a specific example? 99% of the detailed tips in our guide are to describe what things look like, or where they are located - all of which is still in the new 2.0 guides.

There is an option to show the additional hints in the guide or only as mouseover tooltip.

I've noticed the same thing. For example, in places like Booty Bay, it used to say something like "in the house (or whatever) where the big fish is hanging" but it doesn't say that anymore. In places like Booty Bay, UC, etc, those are a really big help. It seems to leave out a lot hints now on where quests givers are. I simply have to go by the arrow now but I like to kinda know. Another example that I can think of off the top of my head is in Desolace. I can't remember the name but the camp place that is near the graveyard. It used to tell you "talk to so-and-so. They're standing on a little hill." (or something to that effect)

I didn't realize there was an option in the guide for hints. I'll have to check that out but I don't think I did that before. I don't know, I noticed a difference in the hints as well.


EDIT: I do have that box checked actually. I went and checked. I would say 90-95% of the hints I use to have are not there anymore. So, there's a huge difference.
