Came back into SL content to just get enough renown for flying…
remembered why I didn’t enjoy SL open world stuff.
Whoever thought up of that can go away from this game, not lose their job, but jeez, go work on Diablo mobile. This isn’t good gameplay stuff, like they phoned it in.
Rant I know, and I get others tolerate it. Just sheesh this kind of design sucks.
Sorry for anyone who dislikes these kinda threads.
No worries, hope you feel better now that is off your chest.
A small silver living is that the stygia that you build up doing em weekly will be useful in 9.1.
I’m kind of hoping to find a main to stick with and get into progression or else this all kinda feels pointless for me at least [incl. that stygia, which wasnt a lot since i don’t do them weekly, not enough hate for myself to do such things]
Appreciate the anti-hostile attitude though 
Keep in mind you can get 20 stygia per soul, which will be quite helpful in 9.1 with the additional stygia currency items!
20 stygia thats crap a souls worth a lott more then stygia should be flushed down the toilet who ever made this fired
Rescuing the souls makes sense with the storyline, though.
cghapmiuin, saving souls is its own reward
Good news Khronys. I spoke with Ion Hazzikostas personally, and he has agreed to remove the Renown tie-in for souls in 9.1. Instead, you will earn that point of Renown doing activities in Korthia each week.
It does? That’s ok but doesn’t make up for how just meh that whole thing feels like. I don’t need the stygia items from vendor. I’m just that outcast player. Hopefully I get into the swing of things finally where this mundane design actually matters.
True. Maybe not fired, I never wish anyone to lose their job but just not work on warcraft, lol.
Could of been done much better than what it is now.
This is just lazy filler style gameplay that doesn’t add anything to my fun or entertainment. Nor does it really add any real fantasy sense to why I’m doing it 20 at a time lol… it’s lazily implemented to waste my time.
Oh boy! That helps 
I’ll contact you again for more of a direct line with Ion for the near future though
400 stygia for that quest is pretty reasonable, takes like 10 minutes to do it lmao
I actually stopped doing this quest when it “upgraded” and asked me to find 20 instead of 10, what the hell kind of reward is that??? lol
The quest dev actually did quit. hehe
But, you get to watch them all exist your crystal thing and enter your forge bond thing. Isn’t that exciting?
This expansion is so bad. 
You can get 19 souls, and abandon the quest, until you get Eye level 5. That’s about 1k Stygia a day without going further than Zovaal’s Cauldron.
If we do the quest the way it was probably intended, gather the souls throughout the week as we do maw dailies…it isn’t so bad.
But we as players do it the worst way possible…wait around in a small area waiting for souls to spawn
How would you like to do it?
They have to give some sort of number. From my understanding, the reason we began at a smaller number was because our covenant lacked the anima to fuel the crystal enough. So we built it up until we could gather more.
There’s always a gameplay mechanic for quests. That number is for the gameplay as a cutoff for the quest. It’s not lore that we’re only bringing back 20.
If you do it on Tuesday and go to the 2 nodes right there near Borr-Geth, you can get it done super fast.
Wow this game is just peak fun.
OMG, I actually saw it again and thought ‘‘damn they are working that human psychology on this for that dopamine hit’’ with those effects lol
Like I said, that’s fine for those that need something… it’s maximizing time for reward.
I know what you mean but I looked at it like ‘’, 5, 10, 20’’ huh… it’s just not that great in terms of gameplay. It’s so bleh that while I’m not against people who enjoy it or need to do it for rewards so they don’t mind it… I just think FOR ME it’s a thing where I reflect why I bother lol.
Saving souls should of been a story thing, not a quest mechanic… it lends itself to the already boring ‘gather bear butts, and poop’ quests. The MaW for me feels like such a lame filler… they had it empty before and said they were ok with it 'till feed back came in and they delayed to fill in the maw.
Agree. My complaint is that it’s just such a phoned in quest in a zone I already hate.
You got to build your mission table out of something, why not souls?
