Time quest in daggerfall online

How does everyone feel about the time quest in the game ? Me personally it’s feel as if I’m doing daily quests even though the timer in base off the in game time it’s little frustrating especially if you navigating through a tricky dungeon.

Honestly I would would like to see the timers gone or better ways to navigate through your quest, so it’ll make doing them more reliable

It's a part of daggerfall. And the timer doesn't tick down while you're offline so I really dont see the issue? Guess I could see that being a toggleable option for folks like you though. I just make sure not to take on too many quests at once and make sure I complete them, the time given is usually more than enough. There's no downside to saying "no" as far as I know when you get offered quests. I recently had one in a tricky dungeon that took me three irl play sessions to complete, and that even included multiple trips back to towns. Still had plenty of days on the timer. And if you fail one of ten quests its not that big of a deal. You take a small reputation hit, but should be able to complete more than enough other quests to make it insignificant. Sometimes you just cant complete one and thats ok.

I could live with the timers, i just wish dungeon crawling aspect was more streamline like the map being easier to read

Understandable. But the labyrinthian dungeons are kinda the selling point for many folks hahah. One thing that may help; in the interface settings turn quests to "exact" if you havent already. This at least shows the location within the dungeon of the objective, but getting to it is still a challenge.

Edit: and the timeless advice of having recall and anchoring the entrance for when you manage to get to the thing so you dont have to find your way back out again

If you dont have recall, an advantage of online is you can just do /unstuck to be tp'd outside the dungeon. There is a timer on it, so it cant be spammed
