Using the word "win".

Choosing to use the word "win" with quest objectives is poor.


When I was a new player and saw this, I thought "what the heck, I'm about to lose already?".


"Win" should be associated with end game victory conditions, not quest objectives.


I would rather get a warning saying, "The quest objective is nearly complete" rather than "win".

Indeed, or if anything, say that the person is about to "Win the quest objective". Unless you pay attention to the screen at the top, the art and not get drawn by the BIG text saying "This player will win", you'll easily get fooled by it and then wonder why the game didn't end.

It's been a thing that's stayed around for a long time and I hope they change it. Changing the text presented is all that's needed and possibly make it more clear which quest it is as well.

I think a general change in the display of certain messages (or message types) would greatly beneifit the game. If messages regarding any game victory, quest, begin of an event and end of an event would have their destinctive design, it would be much easier for a player. I got fooled by some of the screens OP mentioned as well. And I sometimes struggle to quickly grasp if an event had come to an end or if a new stage just started or whatever.

Yup, good idea. We'll look at that this week.

Amazing to see the feedback, thanks! While this is small, I think it'll be great for new players getting into the game. c:

Hi all,


I could finally only find one instance where we use the phrase, and I have changed it. The fix should therefore come through in the next build (next week, maybe earlier).


So if it pops up again after that, please let us know!
