Re: So, any thoughts on dlc?
Hmm, yes, most of these QR quests seem to be only "Quest type: D, Flavor text: blahdiblah" variations. Considering how many MMO quests are exactly like that though, it's still a nice system.

Re: So, any thoughts on dlc?
Considering the amount of data stored in a QR code is normally something as small as a URL, I'd be pretty shocked if they could do much more.

Are the QR codes really only unlocking existing features? Seems unnecessary complicated. Because the QR codes used so far have space for lots of text...

Re: So, any thoughts on dlc?
For the quests I doubt it's unlocking features, so much as giving parameters to a function in the game that spits out quests. Probably something like "quest type, objectives, description, name" or the like- hence, within the same scale as a guild card.

That's what I assumed, so I tried to decode those QR codes to figure out how to make my own quests and items... didn't get far, though. I got something like hex code, but couldn't figure out what to make of it. Maybe I'll try harder to figure that out once I actually got myself a 3DS.

Re: So, any thoughts on dlc?
My guess is that it's compressed. Shouldn't be too hard to prepare a simple compression of their inputs, especially if the decoding key is built into the game itself. Doubles as a kind of encryption, too!
On the upshot- if someone does eventually crack it, we'll get custom quests, maybe.

Re: So, any thoughts on dlc?
It's entirely possible there's some cut content on the ROM that they're accessing, but, to harken back to the olden days, the ROM data for the original Super Mario Bros. occupied less data space than most screenshots. Considering most QR code quests don't have to define a host of new programs and assets, it is entirely within possibility that they just dusted off the old compression tricks.
