Quest Tracker is Stupid

People don't like Quest Helper because it tracks quests on how much people you kill on the screen, it's because they like to know directly where to go. Get it right Blizzard out of the entire update this is the only fault I see.

Please add a better Quest Tracking program.

We are always working to improve the game experience of players and that includes adding new features into the User Interface. I'm sure you meant to give constructive feedback with your post, but it didn't come out very constructive. Most notably the title itself isn't constructive.

The new ObjectiveTracker is an improvement upon the previous tracking options and we will continue to make further improvements as we feel they are necessary. The new functionality is something we felt many players would enjoy and get benefit from. If it's not what you're looking for, that's fine, but please refrain from further posts of this nature in the future. Constructive feedback is always welcome so long as it's constructive.

I like the tooltip information. One of the problems with the Blizzard quest tracking box is that when you get a quest with a long name, it cuts off the end of the quest along with your progress. So having it in the tooltip is nice.


Have you tried moving the box? It does have an option to allow for that.

I like the quest tracker with the exception of not having the ability to stretch the window so that the longer named quests can be seen in their entirety. Also, I can't move it down to the bottom of the screen where I used to keep the one that CT Mod had. But having the item you need to use sitting right there is great!


Feedback noted. I'll pass the word along.

Wrong.

Go to your interface, select Objectives and un check "disable mouse over".

Then - mouse over the objective box, right click Objective title and select "Unlock Window".

Next, click on the corner of the box, wait a sec (it is kinda laggy), then resize to your hearts desire. Once you are done, lock the window, disable mouse over - gtg.


This is correct. It just doesn't give you any sort of indicator when you go down to the corner of the box. That may be a part of the confusion as to whether you can resize the box or not. You should be able to stretch it to display complete quest names and objectives.

Can I try a different variant?

*ahem*

What's up with this Quest Tracker? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my Quest Tracker? I don't think so. My Quest Tracker points me to where I need to go! And it makes pie!


Technically, it's an Objective Tracker since it also tracks Achievements too. ;)
