Just in case anyone else only just realized, if you’ve done this on your main your alt will have a “Shandris’s Scouting Report” in their bags to automatically complete this.
Can we just have a global “automatically complete all storyline” option for our alts. Some of us aren’t here to farm 10 frogs legs for hours on end just so we can play the real game, and hitting this wall over and over on alts is the reason I left wow the first time years ago. The storyline isn’t interesting. It isn’t a game. It isn’t a challenge. Doing it once is bad enough, but fair enough. Doing them multiple times is just ridiculous.
I’ve alts sitting at “Campaign 0/7 chapters” and it’s just a terrible experience. I came back about 6 weeks ago. Being faced with a years worth of content is hardly a warm welcome back.
Wait I’m confused. You mentioned that there is an item to skip that quest line but you are also complaining that you feel like you are forced to do said questline on your alts?
I find it really annoying to log onto an alt and see the 0/7 campaign chapters sitting in my quest log.
Also, the blue dragonflight storyline as well. Same with embers of neltharion.
If you start a new alt and get them into Dragonflight, you will currently have four campaigns sitting in your quest log.
I’ve now done the original dragonflight campaign on four characters.
Blue dragonflight on three characters (this one was particularly obnoxious and long)
Embers of neltharion on four characters.
I really would like the option to simply say “I’ve completed this before, I will skip it.” Then my alt automatically gets credit for the quest campaign being completed.
I believe OP wants a similar item for all quest campaigns in Dragonflight.
OP likes Shandris’ item and wants to be able to do the same for other campaigns that their main has completed.
Yes but it was sitting at the top of my quest log with no option for me to remove it.
So I just completed it on multiple alts because I was tired of looking at it
Technically none of the campaigns are mandatory - you just get constant pestering reminders to do them.
Take the glimmerog games for example. I completed that questline on my main and didn’t want to do it on my alts because it gives you a snail shell that you CANNOT delete. I even got max rep with that guy to get the snail mount (even though I didn’t want the snail mount) to see if they would let me delete the snail shell (hint - they don’t).
So I didn’t want to do that quest on my alts and be given an item I could never remove from their inventories.
Guess what? You have that little flying npc follow you around everywhere until you accept that quest.
Most of my characters already have three, if not four, legion artifact weapons in their banks which serve no purpose and cannot be deleted. I don’t need an un-deletable snail shell on top of that.
Yeah put my name on the petition. What a revelation that item is for alts, please do that for every questline I’ve done on my main so I can live in peace without having 37 different quest markers covering my maps.
And the entry level rewards. It would be different if the campaign was actually interesting and challenging, like it is in most games. But it’s not. It’s a grind even the first time with boring quest after quest to gatekeep some cinematics. The moment you want to level up alts so you can run the interesting content like mythics and raids, you’re faced with the same grind again or just not bothering at all and having that character permanently crippled.
I get someone people enjoy it, or at least enjoy the exclusivity of… having wasted hours and days of time, but doing it once should be enough.
i cant tell you how often i wish this were an option in the game. who knows, though. maybe with warbands, we’ll finally only need to complete each quest on one character and be completely done.
