Why World of Warcraft is leaving daily quests behind: they 'rea

• Posted by Tony Smith July 2 - Filed in Entertainment - 16 views

  Mists of Pandaria’s 5.4 patch is live, and it’s not short on stuff: get a brand new island, flexible raid system and fisticuffs with Garrosh Hellscream within the undercity beneath Orgrimmar. But it is just a little short on daily quests. And come to consider it, so was its predecessor, the aptly named 5.3. What’s track of that?“I wouldn't declare that it's inconceivable we will have daily quests again at some point inside future,” said lead game designer Tom Chilton, “but definitely not to the scale that any of us did from the past.”              
  It’s a really different mindset to that particular which saw Blizzard put on the dailies in order that “this content wouldn’t feel repetitive”. But Chilton pinpoints one missing detail that kept the computer in check - originally, players could only play a complete of 10 on a daily basis.
  “If we'd a limit of 10 different daily quests, but 100 different quests you might do in existence, you may sort of Warmane Gold for sale imagine there would be just a little bit more choice when it comes to which ones you'd do,” Chilton told WoW Insider, “especially when we give you different reasons why you should do different styles.”
  But as being the dev team raised that cap to 25, and did away by using it altogether, they observed an unfortunate trend in player behaviour toward habits which weren’t “essentially the most fun strategy to play the experience ultimately”.
  “That really didn't mix wonderfully with the quantity on the daily quest content we had from the game, because doing so pressured players into feeling like they'd to do it constantly,” explained Chilton. “That really caused a great deal of burnout.”Subsequently, Blizzard produced conscious decision to prevent adding towards the daily quest pile for 5.3 and 5.4. And while Chilton suggests they will often return to “some mix” of dailies within the future, he feels the dev team at the moment are headed “in a unique direction”.
  What’s more, he’s not convinced that endgame WoW players could return for the playstyles they’d adopted in the time of 2007 expansion Burning Crusade - whether or not they wished to.
  “Burning Crusade had the luxury of having the 10 daily quest cap. I don't think we can easily underestimate simply how much that helped players not burn out,” he explained. “But for the same time, I think that as we took those great quests, and now we just had those quests, that list of quests, and essentially translated them into Mists of Pandaria, we probably would have find some with the same problems.
  “The the truth is that the audience evolves after some time, and the action itself evolves after a while. So some with the things that were popular inside past wouldn't necessarily be popular today.
  “I think which is a lot with the reason why you really can't just go last time when it comes to where players were emotionally and mentally for the time,” Chilton added. “You must continue to look forward and evolve the overall game in ways that happen to be interesting to those today, even when those aren't items that are exactly the same as they were within the past.”You can’t repeat days gone by. Blizzard, then: the Nick Carraway for the WoW playerbase’s Jay Gatsby. Do you think Chilton’s right? Or would you like to beat on, boats contrary to the current, calling for more daily quests?
