The mission table has not been a hit, but there’s a really easy way to get people to use it more - add more currency to it. There are parts of this game everyone is going to hate, and the workaround to this would be to allow mission table missions to obtain them.
This is already the case with pet charms. I like pet battles just fine, but when I see the min/maxing involved in some of those guide videos - no thanks. But that’s fine because I can slowly get them through the mission table.
We should do the same for currency that isn’t currently on there. A quick glance shows the following rewards:
Reputation
Crafting Materials
Low ilvls
XP for your adventurers
Soul Cinders
Stygia
Pet Charms
While I use the app whenever I’m at work to maximize my time, here’s a few things we could add right now to make it more useful
Replace the low ilvl items with either Honor or Conquest points.
Add Death’s Advance Rep
Add Catalog Research
Add, in addition to CR, Codex exp.
Recolors of toys, tabards, etc. (I have been given a toy from the Misson Table before but it’s unclear why/how, and what I’d need to do it again)
Add Rep from old-world factions (e.g. if I’m not exalted, let my followers take a mission in Zanger Marsh or the Jade Forest)
Weird cosmestics. E.g. if you really wanted [Item X] from that one boss in that raid, ya know? Well maybe you could tell your followers, be on the lookout for guns from raids, and those rewards could be sprinkled in*
*In case you don’t use the mission table, these things are rare. It wouldn’t be daily
Generally when I put out an idea, I like to overdo it. Becuase it’s easier to say “no” to things (Just read GD) than it is to come up with more ideas (just read GD!) so I’m not suggesting everything be added in, but these are a few ideas I think we can put in to make the Mission Table more viable.
no thanks - some people need that gear - I just started a few weeks ago and I still have some mission table gear equipped. I have no use for honor or conquest points.
and death’s advance rep is extremely easy to get already. Those dailies in Korthia are very nice and quick to do.
again a lot of people have ZERO use for this since they played those expansions - also what the heck rep are you thinking to get from Jade Forest? The Zanger Marsh - you go run dungeons for a couple of hours and are exalted.
None of your ideas I like but if they want to add some of them IN ADDITION to what normally shows up or give us an option for them not to come up I would be okay with that.
Although, I do think allowing people to do this instead of actually logging into the game isn’t all that great. Blizzard created CRZ so more people are populating the areas - if they give all the rewards on the mission table, that aim is being defeated by this.
If I do continue to play, I’d like more XP missions or buffed. It’s really wonky with how the table works.
Though if they bring it back next expansion, I’d love for it to be reworked away from ‘min maxing’ your time vs reward and actually allow for engagement… pick a mission, followers, and take those followers with you to do that mission either via scenario or open world. I kinda dislike these phone game implementations into an MMO of all things. Because this is now less about ‘fun’ and more about getting the most reward out of the system.
I am getting 203 gear now - plus there is no need to remove that gear. Blizzard gave people an option to get gear from there, they shouldn’t be forced to buy gear because someone wants to play on their phone instead of in the game.
We’d need to see engagement levels on that to see if it’s worth changing. Neither of us have that information. ilvls can be changed. I just think currency for gear is more useful than a specific item.
I very much realize you want the rewards that suit your playstyle but to other people those would be useless. You remind me of the people who want pet battle weekly event removed because they don’t do pet battles.
They also need to fix Kyrian missions, my Revendreth character easily has success on all missions, but my Kyrian alt fails at least 50% of the missions.
What missions do they fail? On my main I did all of the campaign missions for the mounts and only 1 of my followers is 50. I just finished the last one or two days ago. My followers that I used are all 42-50, so im curious what missions you’re failing? I know Kyrian is definitely weaker than others but I haven’t had an issue.
My table consists mostly of EXP missions or small amounts of anima missions, barely anything good outside of the campaign mount missions which I already did. Definitely could have more interesting things there.
