Non-Disney Online Games (Wizard 101) Quest Tips & Help Thread!

[DA Wiz]

First and foremost let me extend a big thank you to whoever set up this help forum (Diva?). To my knowledge it is the only forum except Wizard 101 which is rather impersonal and not particularly helpful. With that gratitude extended let me ask a few questions about DIS hardware.

Is it possible to have sub-sections? It is difficult to find information on message 524 when you are at 900 now. It appears to be one long string.

It would helpful to organize the board on the basis of, say,

REALMS (Bring tips together by realm)
QUEST HELP (Maybe further grouping by tough quests)
MISSION SCHEDULING (When can we meet to go in together)
FRIEND POSTING (Who's who. Friends meetings, etc.)

Whatever. Someone can do that better than me. Question: In the DIS format is it possible to organize things a bit more? Just asking.

Yes, we can do that, anyone is free to create a thread that they feel will help others in the game. What you suggest is great.

I am actually going to start a BUG thread. I started a quest that cannot be complete because there is a bug. I find their forum a little difficult to read.

Last night Amber Jadesong and I started going through Kensington Station.

Kensington Station has/had the bug. Upon beating the big boss, several times, the gate never opened to continue. Not sure if that has changed but I am still suffering the sting from wasting time there the other day.

Also, we need to keep in mind a suggestion thread for them to improve the game. I know alot of people had some awesome suggestions, we can post them here and then advise back when they have used our suggestions.

Ok for the Bug in Big Ben East and West....
Remember at the end of East you have to speak to Gus and West you have to speak to Emily (I think)...usually if 1 person speaks the other person gets the ? and the quest goes on. Well, the bug is that the other person will get the ?, and it will show that the counterweights have been pulled, BUT it doesn't forward the original "Talk to Gus" or "Talk to Emily" quest line.

(Fought East 2x to find this out Oo)

But, if you will "Go to Friend" your ? above the "talk to person's" head will show up to speak to Gus or Emily so that your quest line will go forward. Just double check your quest homework to make sure that your Gus or Emily quest has moved forward to beat the big guy at the end.

Also...Big Ben is a LOT easier now. Has anyone started Kensington to see if it is easier as well?

Also it could be easier because my nephew is Myth/Life and this avatar I have this time around is Life/Balance. The 2 work together so well.

Well I think big ben took us over 2.5 hours to do ROFL. That is a big time committment.
I think we started at 7:50 and finished at 10:28 yup and I have done it twice so far since different members of our team got there at different points. And have to do it once again when hubby gets there since he has done it 2 already for others

I spoke too soon, eh?

There is a "hidden shop" that only opens once an hour, or something. It finally did just after I posted! LOL!

Hidden shop??? SPILL! (or at least hint, not just tantalize...)

 

[aengus]

Ok I made it to Mushoo and thought I would start another character so I have a good idea what I like for when we are out of beta.

I have been Ice and life minor. Good combo as ice seems to get lots of health. Good when in groups so I can take a lead to get alot more hits but have life for healthbackups.

So my question is. Anyone Life/Ice

And if you are a Myth player what is a good combo for that. Thanks

I am myth/death belle, I find myself barely using death for anything unless I am in real trouble with a big myth resisting boss. I would love to try balance or life now as my secondary, and if we get wiped I will definitely go for one of those combos I think. One thing I am sure of is I am very happy with the myth as primary.

I know dis already responded but I did want to reaffirm that there really are no forum restrictions to how many threads there can be. When we converted from vmk to our new format I think people just got into a comfort zone of sitting in the one thread.

We will merge threads if topics really start to become too redundant but by all means spread out. Thats what were hoping for. Try to keep Wizard in the title as eventually more games will also get in the spotlight, or even just Wiz:, you get the idea I am sure .

See now, this bothers me. They should allow us to pause in an instance or not have a committment that takes that long. Gosh, some of us have to make dinner or other real life issues that they need to take care of.

If the game is set for the 8-12 year olds, think they should re-think the length of instance battles or allow a pause of some type. jmo

Yes I know it has been mentioned many times over at wizard forums that is a big time committment and for 8-12 year olds most parents do not want them sitting at a computer for 3 hours and definatley would not be able to even attempt this on a school night. I felt bad for a kid (he only had game chat) and got within 4 fights to finish in big ben and had to leave. I figure it was bedtime as he said I have 5 more minutes.

I know there are breaks to talk to characters but have not tested to see if you can pause game and start again.

And you figure the grub run takes almost 2 hours too unless if you do not get pulled into fights. But it is not needed to continue on. Unlike big Ben it is.

There is actually a method for 'parking' your character if you need to that is described on another forum. It can be helpful if you are in an instance and have an interruption that might lead to your character being disconnected due to inactivity... that seems like the main case when you might need to use it. I know I've had times when the doorbell or phone rang, etc. Of course this won't help if you truly disconnected for some other reason.

Very cool thank you for that. I always wondered why peeps were spinning. Thought maybe I was imagining it.

 

[PrincessNoelle]

I saw this one day too and thought it was a bug. Nice to know.

Too funny the other day I did this by accident had no idea what I did but my character kept spinning. And it scared me cause I could not figure out how to stop it till I hit up key and started to walk

You're welcome! I know that we can create threads for each topic, but the DIS can't break down our existing thread into the various topics. It would be great though, wouldn't it? LOL! I'll give some thought and see if i can come up with a helpfual combo of threads to make getting and giving help easier.

Who knew it would get this big? When I started this, there were about 10 DISers playing Wizards!! Now look at us! Which reminds me, the titles thread is due for an update! ............
