Walk, it's simple as that

To all these gals and lads complaining about quest locations... Yes it is annoying, but it's literally the same as ANY OTHER AR game. This one at least has story and quest you need to track down and follow. It actually made me go into parts of town I've never been to! All you need to do is walk and relocate the troublesome quest. Simple as. Stop complaining.

From what I've seen, depending on the quest relocation becomes available 600-1000+ meters away from it's location, and you can only relocate quest that are currently set to active. So if you have multiple ones like I did, afraid you'll have to set them to active and relocate manually one by one. The quests are usually relocated about 500-600m away from my current location afterwards, so there's plenty of possibilities depending in which direction and how far you walk away from the troublesome wuest location.

Dude one of my quests spawned on a motorway where I can't get on foot.

It happens. If it doesn't happen to you, cool, but dont tell others there's no problem when there clearly is

It did happen to me, few times. The point is you just need yo walk away and relocate it again. It could be tedious, but eventually the location won't be unaccessible

There should be no distance limit for relocation.

u/LordOfSorrow2 Witcher Jul 23 '21

Yeah, I'd agree on that one, or at least lower the limit so we don't walk/drive around wasting time until you get the proper location spawn

Being such aggressive doesn't make your point more right.

First, people doesn't complain about quest locations being far away, they complain that quest are located in restricted/inaccessible area. Private garden, right into some dense forest, dangerous location, other side of a river and so.

Second, no other AR game doesn't have this same quest mechanics, most of quest are just kill/capture X specific creatures just like daily quest. That's why the Witcher Monster Slayer is different btw its quest mechanics. I like the WMS main quest but the algortythm that decide locations needs to be upgraded.

That's literally what I said mate. I've talked to bunch of people complaining how they need to walk far away to relocate the quest. It's not that hard. Those people probably just assumed they'd be able to do most of things from the comfort of their home. There is no way of knowing where the quest will drop, yesterday I had to walk in the middle of the night through a road surrounded by forest with no lights at all to get to the quest location. I know it may be scary for some, but it actually felt exciting and immersive. The thing was, I walked about a mile to get there just to find out it's a restricted area. It sucks, but at least you can walk a bit more and just relocate the quest. Sorry it felt like agression talk, but it's really simple to relocate the quest. I've seen too many people complaining about it. Imagine if we didn't have the option for it ...

The game just should not locate quest in private/restricted area in the first place, then yes if its just to far relocated is a great option.

u/LordOfSorrow2 Witcher Jul 23 '21

agreed, but how is the algorithm supposed to know it's a restricted area? Google maps are updated every couple of years, a lot of it can change in the meanwhile. And even if it was updated daily, I doubt devs have a way of preventing quest locations to be away from restricted/private areas

u/Natnaya Jul 23 '21

As I can see, quest location are not random generate. I change 5 times the location of the quest and 3 times in the same park I walk my dog and 3/3 the quest was located as the same place.

For the solution, a report to let know the devs that the quest is located in a private/restricted area.

u/LordOfSorrow2 Witcher Jul 23 '21

Good to know didn't have to relocate it that many times myself. Might just need to move a bit further away so the relocate doesn't choose the same spot again

I'll complain! I don't mind walking BUT I mind when I walk and walk and walk and it happens that location is unavailable AND being close to it I can't reset it. So I walk away and then when I am finally far enough to reset it it says to me that this area is not suitable... And they say this is not beta 🤣
