I know there’s been a few discussions on increasing quest log size, and comments about how “blizzard thinks the size is ok” “because they want us to manage quests, our players are too easily consufed etc” but I feel like i do less older content because i can’t get immersed in it. So i have an idea to help with confusion and some of our ocd and dislike of dropping quests.
So I have an idea for a new type of quest booklet. A quest list based off zone and expansion. Focus it on being a little like the profession booklet, you can go into an area and the quest progression you’re at shows up on the quest journal to the side. So any zone you can just go into and continue your progress. Then have a tab for unfinished quests so you can see what side quests you can activate and how much you have to finish.
If you like the idea please favorite or comment with additional ideas and send as a submit suggestion in game to the developers.
With how many alts we have, it would be nice to have an in-game built system like that to keep track instead of relaying on addons and having to search stuff all the time.
It would also make it easier to track for different achievements, whats missing, where we left off with alt #176
The quest log limitation is currently very annoying with how many xpacs the game has. It really needs to stop limiting the number of quests for max lvl players. I can understand that its overwhelming for some new players but people who know the game well shouldn’t suffer that pointless quest cap limitation. Its not game breaking.
I don’t see how that is going to make me more immersed than finding a quest-given and re-receieving a quest I have dropped. In fact, I believe it would make me less immersed as it would make it more of a checking-off-a-list scenario than a story scenario. Immersion is about experiencing the story, not progressing thru in.
For me i guess “immersive” in the fact that if I’m questing in BC and suddenly realize my quest log is full, and oh i have to abandon quests from other expacs/current content, or i need to stop what I’m doing and go complete quests in a different area. Which if I’m not in the mood the quest a certain area having to go there and complete that content, or drop quests its disruptive, because then i have to think “ok what am I dropping and will i remember to go back there” which most of the time I don’t. So I mean if you dont like the quest book idea, create a system where you can select the way you view your quests, like it is or organized in a linear pathway, and just increase or remove the limit for quests.
Current xpac, yes I agree. Its nice to be able to just explore and find quests. For older xpacs (I played since WoW came out, yes Im that old), a log a bit like tradeskills like where I see what I have or not, would be nice. Current cap is dumb with how many quests and zone the game has
So hinder progress and quality of life adjustments because “i had to do it this way so must other people, and i learn this way so must others?” This ins’t vanilla or everquest or any old style RPG any more it has several expansions, and you can have how many alts at max level how fast? keeping a better track log reduces problem solving ability how?
When I am looking to complete zones I was distracted from for one reason or another, I check my achievements, return to a zone still grey in loremaster and hunt down quest-givers shown on my map. This method failed me once so, on the advice of kind folks here, I downloaded an add-on and viola! And I uninstalled the add-on and went right back to my adventure!
I mean it would keep people busy, but you already have a system of emissaries and world quests that exist without even having to store them. I know there was a cap on dailies, but didn’t they removed that? Because between BFA and Legion you have no limit on WQ’s beside what you can get done in the hourly range they are available. So why limit the quests in the quest log?
Now I don’t like the idea of making all quests un-stored or just automated all over the place. Its more of an idea of just having them stored, and being able to see what you need, and where you get them. Instead of having a 3rd party app or some such that tracks and show this information for you.
I agree with an increased number, or even setting it up like an Xpac Book. If its set up like a book per XPac you could even lessen the quests per to a max of maybe 15 per or something. It just makes more sense. I know I hate carrying around about 10 quest turn ins that i had to drop because of what I was currently working on at that moment . I also always worry about not being able to go back and remember where I left off.
My biggest pet peeve is the quests that you can’t decline, just go straight into your quest log. Obviously it’s not difficult to go into your quest log and abandon it but man is it annoying to have to do that
