Summary0006173: Rename Secret Missions
DescriptionGiven that there is nothing secret about them (what with them being Everywhere) and that they are also likely to form the majority of missions a player experiences, I suggest renaming secret missions to just "missions" and finding a more weighty way to reference the overland missions, perhaps "priority missions" or something of that ilk.

If you wanted to flavour it up you could go for "adventures" and "quests".

I think secret is very apt: you don't know for sure where you will find them, and you also have no way of knowing if they will give you the reward you want, or even the mission type you want. Most of their details are secret until you are right on top of them.

Even moreso, I can't imagine more than half the missions you do being secret missions, because there's no point without the tier orbs from the main missions.

I think the name's fine as it is. However, they do seem to be a bit too common. I found one in each of five shacks, in the same single chunk of a skelebot graveyard region.

"Even moreso, I can't imagine more than half the missions you do being secret missions, because there's no point without the tier orbs from the main missions."

You assume people are doing them for spells, I've burned through dozens of secret missions trying to get the various things required so that I can set up wind shelters, if I had been tried to get them through main mission it would have screwed me over completely.

even with spells you need far more resources than you do tier orbs, and it makes more sense to do the secret missions for resources than main ones.

Fair enough -- at any rate, they are still secret in the main in terms of how they are found and what you know about them. They aren't advertized in advance, and "you never know what you're going to get," all box-of-chocolate-like. ;)


* Made it so that tiny little shacks and single-room outbuildings will never have secret missions inside them.
