This thread will also be more of a rambling
World Quest is now as fun as it was in Legion, you have no idea how many “fill the bar” world quest in BFA and SL only give you 2% per mob kill / clickable object.
Wait, Legion World Quest is fun?
YES! if you ignore the fact you feel forced to do it for Artifact Power that is.
Oh right, we do, around 7.2.5 (Mid-way Tomb of Sargeras). When majority of people “maxed out” their Artifact, and only the infinity concordance remain (iirc, it’s like ~0.5-1% dps increase per rank after first one)
When that happen, World Quest suddenly became fun, and i start to notice how it’s actually not annoying to do. You also have bodyguard, and if you give them certain equipment, World Quest suddenly became VERY lucrative source of gold.
In BFA, you notice world quest became extremely cumbersome, fill the bar wq became 10x longer, lack of “kill 1 elite” world quest, lower rewards… AND YOU FEEL FORCED TO DO IT FOR AZERITE POWER!
In BFA, they also reintroduce the blue ! in 8.2, anyone remember Mist of Pandaria? Yeah, i certainly got ptsd when i see all those Blue Exclamation mark in Nazjatar…
What worse? THEY BASICALLY ARE JUST WORLD QUEST… but you have to manually take and turn in the quest, and it does not count toward Emmisary.
You think that’s bad?
Here comes Shadowlands with Callings, and you think BFA World Quest is long? Yeah, How about 250g for killing FIVETY MOB! Oh wait, there’s SECOND STEP ON YOUR WORLD QUEST… yeah insanity i told you, and they still have the god damn audacity to add blue dailies on 9.1 and 9.2, insane in the membrane.
Only saving grace is none of it feel mandatory… oh wait, 9.1 added Stygian Embers, and you can only get set amount of them per week… and it’s important for your character power…
9.2 you need the rep for 2nd legendary, again important for character power…
Only 2 person that do World Quest in Shadowlands : You’re someone with no life (me) or an idiot.
Then here comes Dragonflight. SWOOPS IN TO SAVE WORLD QUEST!
3.5 days timer? I am not missing world quest on 13 characters!
Dragonriding made travelling through zone a GAMEPLAY IN ITSELF!?
ACTUALLY SHORT AND FUN WORLD QUEST?
AND NONE OF THESE ARE MANDATORY?
on top of that, the 3 world event weekly made the game feel like an mmo, although this will probably died down, once mplus are around.
I think it’s crazy to me that World of Warcraft would ever make an expansion where you can immideatly play your alt.
What missing right now is the Mplus grind and Rated PvP grind
But even that has some limit, or goal you can set
Great vault have clear set goal.
Valor Point and Conquest Point have Cap per week.
Yes you can “infinetly” grind mplus, but even that has limit to it, once you get “gear capped” the only way you can get upgrade is through weekly vault.
Blizzard, thank you for letting me play the game the way i want, without punishing me.
I agree with pretty much all of it
