Am I sleepwalking through quests? - Quests

#1 Posted by dangermart (117 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago - Show Bio

I've just signed up to join the site and there are already messages claiming I've completed 'quests'. I have no idea what these are, presumably something like those annoying Farmville things at Facebook. How do I escape these?

Plus, I seem to be automatically following lots of people ... Comics Vine staffers? Or am I in Total Glitchland?

It's normal to automatically follow the staffers.

And a lot of the first few quests are just stuff you do regularly on the vine.

@dangermart: Quests are a fun way to learn more about the site. Some encourage you to post in the forums, others encourage you to edit our wiki pages, while some are just about finding charaters & teams.

You can't actually 'avoid' any. But it doesn't hurt to win some. It doesn't actually hold any meaning, other than it's for fun. That's why you automatically win a few Quests to begin with, since it gives new members something to look at & have fun with as they start to customise their new profile.

They're nothing like Farmville. You don't have to participate on a daily basis, and it doesn't bog down everyone else's live feed. Just see the Quests as a tourguide with Scout-style merit badges ;)

All new members automaitcally follow the Moderators & Staff. It's just a polite way or giving you access to the people who can help if yuo have any queries or problems. Moderators are front-line helpers while Staff work behind the scenes.

Thank you very much. I don't seem to be very site-intuitive - or maybe there's a START HERE page I missed. Oh well! :)

Quests happen when you do certain things on the site (blogging alot, following people, getting followed.etc), so you wil do some by accident. Others are more like scavenger hunts where you have to go to certain pages and there is the community quest which happens at random.
