Every time I get a new quest, which can occasionally happen totally randomly just by hearing people talk, the journal ticks off that new quest as "active" and a marker shows up on my compass. Also, if I ever complete a step in the quest that I am on and get a new, subsequent quest, those also tick to "active" and I get more markers. Marker spam! Stop it!

Every time this happens I need to pull up the journal, just to turn the quests off. Over, and over, and over again. Stop it please. What I would LIKE is a checkbox somewhere on the journal page that I just just set all new and existing quests to default to "inactive" mode. That way, if I want a quest to be active I only have to open my journal to turn it on.

Currently it's just annoying journal clickage all the time because I get new quests or complete existing ones on a regular basis. Could we maybe just.. uh, add this little convenience?

Really? Does an idea have to be controversial to get any support on these threads, or is nobody else finding that they care much about the journal?

My quest log doesn't behave like yours. New quests never add a new marker. Whatever I have chosen in the quest log is the only one that gets a marker. IT is possible to add more than one marker, but it never adds more than one marker for me.

I concur. I do not have this autoquest problem for all quests. Some do seem to automatically take priority. Haven't figured it out. Too many quests.

Ok so I'm still blatantly having this problem. Every time I get a new quest, the journal automatically sets that quest as active. Every time. If I dont' go into the journal and deactivate every quest every time I get one, then I have compass pointers everywhere.

It's even worse when I'm on a quest line. Every time I reach a new stage in the quest that I'm doing, it auto-activates the next stage in my journal. So Every. Single. Time. I reach an objective, I have to open the journal up and turn the quest back off.

So what I'm asking for is very simple. Please include some sort of master on/off option for the journal. I want to be able to jump to my map and check the odd quest occasionally, but for the most part I want new quests and existing quests to be off, stay off, and default to off when I get them.

Off.
