Why aren't there more Puzzles in the game?

I miss seeing all those fun puzzles that showed up in BFA and then again in Shadowlands. I know there are some in Dragonflight, but not nearly as many strewn around the maps to make exploring fun.

Why aren’t there more?

People don’t like using their head.

I miss those puzzle quests in Nastyjar, the ones with the strings all tangled up you had to separate.

I’m calling Naz this from now on… that sums up that whole zone perfectly.

That is a nice boulder.

I miss puzzle WQs. I liked them in Legion, and I didn’t mind them in Zereth. Puzzle quests are a lot more fun then kill X or collect Y. I guess I don’t hate some of the mini game ones in DF like pokemon snap, mountain climbing or dragon racing. But I love me puzzle games.

Those were cool, I don’t know why people hated them.

I liked the quiz quest in BfA, where you need to answer questions about the loa quotes in the stone tablets.

Ya’ll need some Jesus in your lives.

If players can’t simply win by smashing their face on the keyboard, they get mad. That’s why no puzzle’s :rofl:

There aren’t any recurring puzzles IIRC. There are a few “uncross the lines” puzzles in Azure Span to realign the leylines but there isn’t any repeatable puzzles.

I’d love a sliding puzzle or even a memory game to unearth stuff for the Dragonscale Expedition.

I prefer mysteries to puzzles. I’m picturing a character on an adventure and trying to figure out why she’s suddenly playing Sudoku.

Where they do make some sense is opening chests and doors with runes.

Nothing compared to you puzzle freaks.

This is the most unique forum argument I’ve seen in ages.

Because puzzles are dumb unless you’re into puzzles.

It’s like requiring non-furries to wear a fursuit. It isn’t fun for anyone.

I was so excited to see those little weird wires puzzles in DF that we had back in BfA. Very sad that it was only those four (?) and they’re not repeatable. Make that a WQ blizzzzzz!!! :frowning:

I’d also like to see the match five breakables minigame to return.

As Americans, we don’t like to actually think. It gets people all flustered…

Some were a lot of fun, others were absolutely awful. Either way, someone just writes an addon to auto-win and that becomes the default for people :woman_shrugging:

Puzzles were boring.
