The Great Tree

HI Liath

Try not to worry about it. My thoughts, the great zero will still be there tomorrow and next week, regardless of how many markers or if your onto the next quest. Just have fun with it, some people have turned into a race of who's got what markers first. That isn't Myst at all.

It's just a realisation I've come to over the past few weeks. I see people running in and out of hoods linking into the nexus to check if the city is available or camping out in the nexus for the night refreshing the screen a million times. There more than welcome to be the first to complete the various Great Zero quests.

It's taken us 10 years to get down into the cavern and see the D'ni City, I can wait, I'm in no hurry. The Myst story has always been a slow evolving story and even then it's only been little bits given to us. So slow for me is fine.

AAH, the ever patient Farlesis has a good point. I think I'll wait with you, except for the occasional peak early in the morning. It is definitely more fun talking to you, rather than bounced out of the Nexus.

Hi Liath

Cool that you got the 30 markers Smile

With the next quest you choose one of the missions offered. The icons next to each mission are a clue as to where you will find those markers. Look at the pictures and try to think where they remind you of.

Some of the missions you will need 10 markers, 7 markers and others you will need 30 markers. Some of them you won't be able to complete at the moment as all the areas aren't open. So you need to find a mission where all the markers are available to you. So say you do one mission that requires 15 markers, go to the location you think where the markers might be. You will see all 15 markers regardless of distance away from you, run through the markers and each square on the KI will turn a brighter shade of green. Once all 15 are collected go to the Calibration Chamber, upload the markers and then pick another mission.

The timing aspect is if you want to beat your time in collecting the required markers. You can redo the missions as many times as you want if you want to try and beat your previous time. You can cancel any mission if you can't find the required markers and pick another mission. But the mission you cancel you will have to start again.

Hope that makes sense?

Hi Ashtar

Nope I don't believe this what Uru is going to amount to. There is an interview on the Uru Live website where CyanBill talks about what Uru will be like, with one new Age per month, and other things opened during each week.

I doubt we will get an Age in the Prologue, unless it's one to test. And yes the Marker Quest could very well be the distraction the DRC wants to give us and it could also be a way for Cyan to test everything, as lag in the city seems to have practically dropped to zero.

Your guess is as good as mine to what the reason maybe to doing these Mission Markers. Maybe that other door in the Calibration Center will open when all Missions are completed? Or the Great Zero becomes activated and the three zero's you see in your KI will starting showing numbers?

But it's fun and frustrating at the same time Laughing

Apparently all of the missions except for 2 of them can be completed. I can't remember which 2 though. Sorry Confused
