The Prepatch event grew on me

At first I disliked the prepatch and dismissed it. I started to enjoy it after removing the timer.

The most fun I am having is this mob-questing method of questing. I am really enjoying this. I didn’t know I would be having this much fun mob-questing.

Do yall think Blizzard will allow this method of questing to be one path of many paths to level characters?

“Mob-questing”?
What exactly do you mean with that?

its a word i am using to describe what the pre-patch is doing. Its these ‘open-air quests’ that everyone participates in and gets rewards.

I wish they did this style for all events, simply using those dungeon NPCs if there aren’t enough players to make it happen at a normal rate. I really like it (no waiting yeehaw)

So… you mean a world quest?
These are kinda normal and have been around since Legion.

No. World quests are still individual to the person. I am talking about the mechanisms used in the prepatch.

This is the only event I engaged in in Dragonflight. They all need to be this simple, just fly to a zone, see the stuff, kill the stuff, move on. No timer, no reading anything, no massive amount of RP, no fiddling inside my bags, etc, etc.

If they keep them this simple I will engage with them. I only needed a few gear slots though, so I only did them for one day.

In other words:

  • You go to a place.
  • That place has an event.
  • Participate in that event, you get rewards from it.

This description fits the concept of a non-phased/-instanced world quest perfectly. I’m not trying to dig at you but rather I’m trying to get at what it is you like about them. Because if this is what it is you like about them, then… world quests should be the thing you like, no?

Nah I still feel the same.

It didn’t grow on me. They completely restructured it.
And it’s still one of the weaker pre-patch events.

Yeah I didn’t do them before they changed them, I knew better.

Yeah I am probably not doing a good job communicating.

The key difference between a world quest and the prepatch is that a world quest’s progress is tied to the individual person.

The prepatch has these same quests but the progress is tied to the community; so we all progress together as this mob, quest to quest, working together.

See what I am saying?

Apparently the boss scaling is a bug according to a blue post, so… maybe it has the chance to grow on me after all? Maybe.

Yes, yes. Elbow moss. Terrible.

Normally only undead and the stone dwarves get it. You can get a real great cream for that in the … you could get a real great cream for that in the UC.

Completely agree, I would have done the other things more like superbloom and feast if I didn’t have to be there at a specific time for them, and could just go there and start having fun.

I agree, its a weak prepatch . But I am saying that this new leveling method is the only redeeming quality.

so like the Grand Hunts and the Dragonbane Siege and the Community Feasts we had all expansion long.

yeah! exactly; but now it is a vehicle to level characters. Not a once-a-week event.

you could do those events all day long if you wanted do

not for leveling 10 - 70?
