im tired of these dumbass world quest where we have to do something and compete with people in the open world for progress of said world quest.
Just make some simple ones where we do puzzles or connect dots, not these world quests that make it so we have to run around in circles for 20-30 mins straight just to get half way with progression of the quest.
I thought blizzard were filled with smart devs and not people who just dump quest to fill qoutas
Theyâve intentionally inflated the time it takes you to do stuff so they can show to their shareholders how âactiveâ players are.
Having just spent 10 minutes stomping 6 insects that the NPC told me was infesting the area, despite the fact that there was hardly a single one in sight and the spawn rate seemed set to allow one to appear per full moon, I will also concur that some world quests are just not very well designed.
And I am a bit saddened by it.
I remember when Blizzard introduced world quests in Legion that the developers felt pretty good about them but also didnât hesitate to hype up the world quests 2.0 design for Battle for Azeroth, because there was obviously room for improvement â and they were going to improve!
But they didnât. World quests in Battle for Azeroth were pretty much a copy/paste of the ones in Legion. Some were better, some were worse, but generally it was pretty much the same.
And then in Shadowlands, Dragonflight, and now The War Within, itâs as if the quality has just gotten a little bit worse with each expansion and each patch.
Itâs quite sad, because I really liked the fantasy of what could have been, if Blizzard had prioritized to improve upon the initial design from Legion, and not just water it down over time into rather unimaginative time sinks with simple gameplay and poor implementation.
Thatâs dark. I like it
Today reset new WQ. Two had broken and NPCs respawn take longer .
I reported them
I miss Legion dailies (kirin tor( and even some dailies in BFA with the turtles simple and fun quests.
hahahha so true, timegate great idea
I really miss having simple, easy to do wqâs. Mostly stopped doing wqâs in SL, just not interested in doing boring chores.
Those WQ are:
Does it suck for solo players? Yes. Is it inherently part of MMOs? Also yes.
Wrong expectations for the wrong game genre.
Why? Because it should really be a surprise factor. Having a WQ display everything it gets you and what the task is only muddies down the player experience towards âis it worth the effort or notâ, instead of actually just going there, trying it out and having fun playing the game.
WoW has a massive issue with âpeople excel charting/optimizing the fun out of the gameâ.
Agreed. The fact that Iâve had to make 3 macros for World Quests so far is crazy
Thereâs nothing fun about circling an area and fighting with other players to complete an objective. It doesnât make the world feel more alive
A quest about grubs overpopulating isnât really immersive when there are no grubs left to stomp because a player immediately kills them
Thatâs the issue then with highly populated realms, not the WQ design. Because that issue doesnât exist on low pop realms at all.
Thatâs still a WQ design problem. High-pop realms exist and, naturally, have the most players
Playing with fewer people isnât the solution for a problem that can be easily fixed by either increasing spawn rates or by not letting other players get in the way (like most WQs)
People arenât going to be less immersed because they canât watch another player throw a cage at a goat and have it disappear. If anything, itâs less immersive, since other players are solving the problem you were set out to solve without being able to contribute
Easily solved by tuning the respawn rate and tag limits.
Yes it does as when low CRZ kicks in so realms up to 26 connect can fill up the numberâs.
When phased layering is required to tackle this issue it doesnât⌠but you camping out a rare or whatever in a quiet layer? Nope! Randomly phases you out into a âpopulated layerââŚ
Had that only once in my time in WoW so far when I was on a low population realm. And I play on a highly populated realm by now, so I wouldnât even see it happening.
Happened to me loads in DF while camping out them elemental invasion Rares, and TWW Hallowfall waiting 20 minutes to spawn a Rare in the farm area.
Seriously rage inducing wasting my time for nothing when it happensâŚ
I agree, patrolling a wq area looking for a low spawning mod to click isnt fun.
They should make those mobs either spawn a lot more or make them all be set spawns, meaning everyone can click the same mob or item without it despawning for other players.
âŚand causing people to require one more addon.
