This post is a follow-up to my review of the Iokath Dailies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Recently I participated in a twitter<\/a> discussion regarding the dailies on Iokath and mentioned that I\u2019d worked out a quick path for completing the \u201cScouting Iokath\u201d daily quest. Initially I skipped this quest assuming it was too much running around, but as I got used to traversing the Iokath Expanse. I realized I could get to the scanning points without too much trouble, and I thought I\u2019d put together a visual guide for completing the quest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While this might look complex at first glance, the trick is realizing that most of the travel is handled by Iokath\u2019s trams and transporters, and the player\u2019s own Quick Travel ability, with only a wee bit of speeder piloting on the side. Getting through the Weapons Factory will require a bit of fighting, but if you\u2019re there anyway to work on other quests, it\u2019s not too bad.<\/p>\n

I want to give special thanks to FibroJedi<\/a> whose screenshots of this daily came in handy while compiling this guide.<\/p>\n

UPDATE!<\/strong> I’ve updated this graphic with a faster path to the southwest scanning site which eliminates the need to fight your way through the Weapons Factory.<\/p>\n

Iokath Suggestions<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since I\u2019m on the subject, I thought I\u2019d also make a few suggestions that might improve the questing experience on Iokath.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, I think the Monitor and Mouse droid dailies should be revised to be more fun. As it is now, the player spends a lot of time on both quests just waiting. Waiting for the Monitor\u2019s self-inflicted stun to wear off. Waiting as a Mouse droid for mobs to respawn (sometimes three or four times) and ever so slowly whittle down the walker. The Monitor design is really cool. Instead of looking forward to taking control of one, I actively avoid it. The mouse droid daily should be silly and funny, but, in practice, it\u2019s a bore.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to see a revised set of abilities for the Monitor. They don\u2019t need to be over-powered, and the notion of a major attack coming with a downside is a good one, but stuns are the worst.<\/p>\n

As for the Mouse droid, either the self-destruct should do significantly more damage or the droid’s secondary attack should be able to debuff the walker so that it takes more damage from the nearby droids when they agro on it. This debuff could even have a short duration. Having to dart in between the walker’s legs and zap it while it’s fighting other droids could be neat.<\/p>\n

The “Colossal Threat” quest should be a separate weekly, much like the “Walking on Hallowed Grounds” weekly on Yavin. In addition, the quest could use better rewards. The Colossus Droid is certainly nowhere near as difficult as the Revanite Walker, but as it is now, I haven\u2019t bothered with it since getting the achievement. If it were a significant source of Power Shards or CXP or had a chance to drop a rare decoration or a pet or a mount, I\u2019m certain there would be more interest in this quest.<\/p>\n

Finally I’d like to see some unique quests or achievements based around the command modules that drop from the ops bosses. Having something to do or shoot for while controlling the Machine Gods out in the expanse could be fun. I think coming around a corner and seeing a player controlled Tyth raging in battle should not at all be a rare occurrence!<\/p>\n

We will return to our regularly schedule programming next week!<\/p>\n
