What Game Content Could A Player Accidentally Miss?

thektx2skd · July 2013

Hello, I'll give an example for my title question: Skirmishes have a max level each, and as such you could accidentally miss the ability to join a specific skirmish if you level up without knowing about it. Also there's achievements corresponding to the skirmishes so you'll end up missing those too.

So I wanted to ask about what kinds of similar content that a player could end up accidentally missing. Anything?

My suggestion would be to level your first character using the quest line. You shouldn't miss anything if you look for all the corresponding quests/skirmishes in each zone.
After the first character, level up with speed. After you've gone through the quest line once, you won't see any new content with a different character. The only one that's unique is for the TR in the Blacklake District I believe.

Once you reach level 60 you're able to do every dungeon in the game at a high difficulty. So, really the only thing you can miss that I'm aware of is Skirmishes. I really hope they add Epic Skirmishes though so this doesn't happen and you're able to come back to the content you missed later on.

None really content wise.

You can technically miss out on daily quests though - the dungeon related ones disappear after you pass the level of the dungeon. Same for skirmishes.
Not really content ,but they do permanently show up in your completed quests lists if you must have EVERYTHING.

Though many of the skirmish dailies are bugged and/or unreasonable hard to complete normally due to requiring like 4x of a dungeon you can only do for 2 levels.. (and the skirmishes xp alone will nearly out level you)

Tons of other missable achievements too, no reasonable way you get them all sadly.
EG: Every single silly little promotion grants an achievement. I've done like 20 - so when I make a new char, my screen goes crazy-insane with achievements (as they are considered account wide, so all chars auto-get them)

Luckily they are all worth 0 "points", so wont affect your score at least.

Though they messed up that too with the lira event, it gave an achive worth like 30 points.. I missed it cuz it was never explained clearly anywhere in the game at all how you do it.

So yea, lots of missable achievements.

One that could be possible to miss is the series of racial quests, i had very different experiences playing the racial ones on my half-elf, elf, halfling, orc and dwarf toons

I would like to know what do you consider to be "fast leveling", noting that my natural instincts tell me that the quest line is the fastest way to go (but meh, it's just instincts).

I think I understand no. 1 & 2, although I still need clarification/examples on no. 3 & 4 if possible, unless, if I definitely can't do anything to get them, then please confirm so since I'm not sure of what you said back there.

It sounds like it's not missable, but instead needing multiple characters to complete, unless it's not account-wide achievements, a case where you can't really do anything about it. My thanks for noting it, though my focus is on things that I can miss due to not knowing about.

No. There are race- and class-specific quest lines for all, but you get in-game mail pointing you towards them.
