World Quest for all!

Community General Discussion

I just had idea, what if Blizzard was able to make ALL World quests, from all expansion scale to our max level, and to your Item level ( so if you are item level 245 you get items lets say - if there is item dropping from wq, 247ilvl ) that way we could gear up have fun questing and doing old expansions with people who are new and joining up or returning, maybe scale quests in expansions to our levels too.

if you max item level for current expansion for example, and item level is ( just saying ) 300ilvl, then u would get instead either gold or reputation - in increased rate then - instead 125 for example 250. Also make it that u have chance from WQ get armor or weapon or even consumable that good enough to be sold, like im not saying max level but at least lower then your by 10-20 item levels then your own.

That should sort out gearing problem, reputation chore, and allow us to be able if we want to buy some equiptment.

I know im gonna get trolled here but im willing to take a risk :slight_smile:

Open world content is super boring at the moment. It would be really nice if Blizz spiced it up a bit by adding more, re-using some old ones (A TURTLE MADE IT TO THE WATER! :heart_eyes: ), maybe making them a bit more challenging and rewarding, and keeping the ilvls automatically adjusted after every patch so that the rewards don’t get completely obsolete.

They shouldn’t change the setup as drastically as the OP suggests, but they should reintroduce ‘Class specific questlines’ that cover the whole world, something that gets players travelling the world again, and maybe have them opening over the life of the expansion.

im not saying to the max item level but at least high enough to let say to be ready do withstand mythic + 5 maybe little bit more/ and or some pvp gear more of those too

5

yesw and increase rewards to about similar to prem0 gear (eg for 9.2 it would be about 228 gear)

What’s next, you want to enforce scaling on legacy dungeons, raids, rares and world bosses? The loot might become relevant for you, but not everyone wants to play upscaled content.

Your reply isnt relevant at all in this topic, why you turning on your keyboard warrior stance if you do not have anything useful to say ?

i said not max but at least allow people to get new option and ways to gear up, get different approach to game, and enjoy different content.

Some new players never had chance to experience those dungeons, raids or WQ’s, and doing it through time walking still limit some quests like in legion to lvl 45.

this way at least you would have access, rewards and if u bored with current expansion possibility to switch to expansion you would like to enjoy or farm things plus it would allow you to have some chance from world quest to get something u could make gold too.

please no need to be toxic or bitter, we are community, and we can speak about things instead of attack one another.

You said:

not

what if Blizzard was able to add an option to make ALL World quests, from all expansion scale to our max level

Suggestions that forgets or ignores that some players play the game differently than you will be criticised from the targeted players that would lose content with your suggestion. What else do you expect?

Suggestions do not need to take into account all players. At the end, players could suggest what they want but it will Blizzard’s are devs the ones who define how to make those things real and they are the ones who should check of consequences and inclusion of that suggestions to not ignore players.

You can`t even criticize him because he hasn’t even said you shouldn’t be able to not do world quests without scaling to max level. He only said he want to be able to do it. You can only criticize his words, not the conclusions you believe from his words belong to you, you are the only one who said world quest shouldn’t be allowed without max level. If you reach your own conclusion from others’ suggestions it becomes your suggestion, it is not OP’s suggestion anymore.

He has not said anything about what to do with people that do not want a max scaling level. So because he has not said anything you shouldn’t put words on him as if your assumptions are his words, you should ask him to clarify his suggestions, and if he said he doesn’t want to force people into it you can’t continue arguing criticizing a point of view of him that is not real.

You could have been more polite and asked something like

What happens with players who don’t want to scale old world-quest to max level? Should everyone will be forced?

And then the OP could have answer you clarifying his idea

It would be best to make it optional. Maybe activate this new scaling level by talking to an NPC, like for example Chromie during Timewalking.

And that is, but don’t pretend that your assumptions are other’s words. People are only responsible of their own words, not of any assumption you arrive from those words. The only one responsible of your assumptions is you.

Continuing with this suggestion I will make an alternative that could be cool.

Instead of scaling a previous expansion world quests to max level it would be better do the opposite. Scale the player to the expansion level like it happens during Party Sync and Timewalking.

It could be used during Timewalking events. During that week maybe make people talk to Chromie to scale them optionally to the level of the expansion, so for example level 45 during Legion.

With that Timewalking mode allow people to play on a special shard of that expansion content with only people in Timewalking mode, and allow there do world bosses, rares, daily quests and world quests with all players at the expansion level.

Also, allow people during that week to queue to normal and heroic dungeons in LDF with other players that are leveling, and also queue to that expansion LFR wings.

They could give some rewards scaled to max-level and timewalking badges for playing the content with level reduced during that week.

For those who want to play the content as it is right now nothing change. If you don’t talk to Chromie you won’t be scaled down. It is optional like Chromie Time leveling.

Bonus points if Blizzard makes those Timewalking shards without anachronism making it so anything from future expansion is not present. For example in a Legion Chromie Time shard have Orgrimmar and Stormwind look as in Legion, with only NPCs from that expansion. The same for other expansions, so for example on a Cataclysm Time walking shard has Garrosh and does not have available any changes on the zones from future expansions. Maybe that is too much work, but at least they could do it only in the main cities.

They could even allow people during Timewalking to repeat quests from that expansion using the Party Sync system. Currently, it is possible to repeat quests with Party Sync but you need to group with a player that has not completed the quests you want to repeat, so they could extend Party Sync to solo players during the events. And this will be a good place to reintroduce into the game removed lore quests like MOP and WOD legendaries quest chain, even without rewards. Of course, this should be optional too.

so you would not want at all to be able to gear up a bit easier i assume ?
and grind and perform chore reputation grind that burns out players ?

basically its sado maso free for all :joy: i dont meant offence !

my idea was actually what you talking about but do not involve time walking or levelig alts because it would serve purpose of gearing up already maxed alt :slight_smile: of course it is good solution too just dont involve timewalking too much

I preferred dailies to world quests anyway.

I find world quests a psychological never ending saga.

At least with dailies the aim was the specific rewards, exalted rep or whatever.

World quests just seem like a hamster wheel to me so I’d prefer they invested the time Into a modernisation of the system to give open world players better options, not a hash of old content.

13

Please. I loved this quest!

Open world content has been super boring all expansion. :stuck_out_tongue: I’m not sure I can even blame the quest designers, much though I’d like to. The open world is unpleasant this expansion, for a start. I’d rather be doing Callings in any other continent. The zones are artificially separated for no reason even Cthulhu Itself could fathom. I’m pretty sure the quest designers were given the order to make world quests annoyingly long and with multiple pieces well separated. We even saw an increase in clickbait quests.

I’m not sure that the right move is to simply scale things up and replace the rewards from previous expansions, but I applaud the general impulse to get us the hell (pun intended) out of the Shadowlands.

And make raids and dungeons obsolete? For the moment my answer is no. I like this method of “dressing up” through the dungeon. It seems more like a proposal from a player who does not come to groups … :thinking:

16

proposal ? its making it a chore, how many u can do before u get bored ?

17

No, no, my idea is to gear on previous expansion content doing the content that was easy to do on those expansions, solo or with random people: world quests, dailies, heroics, world bosses, LFD, and LFR. And having any gear you receive on that content scaled to max-level so it can be used to gear.

I suppose there is too much so they can start first with things like the outdoor content (world quests and dailies) and later include LDF/LFR.

The part about repeating normal quests would be too much to be used to gear up characters, but that is why repeating quests should be different. Allow people who want to play again the quests for the stories to do it but not make it mandatory or be able to gear up with it, to keep it optional. So this part you could ignore because it is something I want to have in the game, I want to be able to repeat quests including removed ones, but I am stretching it too much to say it has anything to do with gearing characters with old content scaled to max level.

It is not that want people to do ALL the content, but I want people to have the option to play ALL the content and everyone could choose what he wants. Some players will do world quests and dailies, some others will do heroic dungeons, should others will do LFR, some extreme ones will do everything, but that shouldn’t be necessary to get the gear you need.

If you think carefully it is exactly the same. It is no difference between scaling the content to the player and scaling the player to content. Legion World Quest is too easy because they are currently level 45 and you are level 60, so we can scale the content up to 60 or your level down to 45. It will have the same effect. And the purpose of gearing alts would work anyway because Blizzard could me the gear that drops from those world quests to scale to your level, which is exactly what happens in Timewalking, you scale down to the content level but any rewards are in your level.

I said to include it into Timewalking because my idea basically makes it available for max-level players not only for all previous expansions’ world quests. It makes available almost all previous expansions’ content, and maybe it would be too much to have everything available at the same time, especially for LFD and LFR. So, it could be better to have it available during Timewalking to rotate weekly.

Turtle pizza??

Wow it’s always shot like this. Cap level and then dungeon normal and heroic at full throttle to dress up and start the raid. Do you now want to destroy this system? And enter world quest that gives you equip and to get you dressed. After two world quests, milk rises in your knees. I would prefer the wotlk and mop style dailies to return, the adventures in Tol Barad for example, where it was a massacre between the two factions, but it was a lot of fun.
To get back to having fun on wow, you have to ELIMINATE this competition between “special children” including Blizzard. But, if I remember correctly, this competition was asked by the community, the rfk, right? The mdi were inserted by Blizzard itself … But the mdi came out long after the rfk wanted by us, so Blizzard has indulged us.
Next time, let’s be careful what we ask for :upside_down_face:

World Q in old maps, yes I would like that as long as this game will not turn into a gw2 where u scale down everywhere.
I have been playing this game for so many yrs and seen low lv content many times and if i return there to farm mounts and such I dont want to be scaled down :slight_smile: ( and for levelling players can go to chromie if they want to be scaled to such maps)
