Global Agenda Quest Lines

Question

I recently picked up Global Agenda in a Steam sale. I was going along enjoying the quest line with some friends when suddenly the quest line just drops off the face of the desert.

Am I missing something?

I mean, I have no problem just doing the pvp / pve missions the rest of the time, but it's just odd being dropped like a hot tamale at level 17 out of what seems to be a potential 50.

Edit: The quests completed is "Beyond Life and Death", followed by "Cured!". Though, after reading Raven Dreamer's comment, I've gotten the feeling that it's the (current) end of the line.

Answer

It might help to include which quest you finished. Don't forget, however, that open-world PvE content is relatively new for Global Agenda, only having being added in the Sandstorm patch -- there's not going to be enough PvE content to reach level 30 through open-world PvE alone.

The original plan was always to have players level up through the instanced PvE or PvP missions. When the players were asked for more traditional PvE, HiRez eventually added it in.

Is there a way to only display markers for the current mission?

Question

I've just got out into the city, and already I have two main missions, and 4 side missions, one of which has 3 different locations which I need to go to.

This adds quite a lot of clutter to the screen, is there any way of cutting it down?

Answer

You can choose to disable individual missions. This will remove the mission marker from your HUD, but the mission can still be completed.

Bring up your menu, then go to the missions tab (or just press U). Each mission should have an "INACTIVE" button that appears when you put your mouse over it — clicking that will hide its mission marker. To undo, simply click the button again.

The indicator is in the upper left, the toggle in the lower right corner.

How can I avoid killing people?

Question

I hate to get murder jobs in the game (what should I tell Michelle?) ... until now I basically played the missions as usual, but as the game is "open-world" (well, is it?) I thought I could maybe play it differently ... right now I'm right before the "No Love Lost" mission, where I have to kill the biker boyfriend of Faustin's daughter. I don't mind getting unnerving people out of my way, but I'm certainly not born to be a hitman for other assholes. How can I avoid killing people in the game but still advance in missions?

Answer

It's... not that sort of game. Some of the missions explicitly require you to kill one or more people - including unarmed people. It's disconcerting, yes, but I'm pretty sure there's no way to advance the plot without doing these kinds of missions. The GTA series is infamous for the terrible things you do - it has missions in which you beat up juries, missions when you distribute drugs to kids, missions when you bury people alive, etc.

Alternatively, you can forget about the main plot entirely and just play the game as an open-ended sandbox, taking jobs as paramedic, vigilante, competing in races, etc. (though you have to kill some people just to unlock those options...).

One final thing, if you want to avoid running over pedestrians during intense car chases, use the horn! Pedestrians will run away and jump out of the way when you honk. It's also useful for warning other cars - so useful, in fact, that I've bound the horn to one of my mouse buttons (playing on the PC).
