Dailies or World Quests?

[schwarzkopf]

WQ's reminds more of WoD bonus objectives than actual dailies

If you want to dailies in BfA - here is how you do it:

1. Go to any zone
2. Click on 3 or 4 random NPCs and pretend to get quests from them
3. Do 3 or 4 random WQs in that zone.
4. Come back to said NPCs and pretend to hand them in.

Would it help if someone wrote an addon to put a blue ! above 3 or 4 random NPCs ?

At this point are you trying to be annoying because i don't agree with you or?

Not trying to be annoying, just trying to point out your error is all.

world quests, along with the emissary system, offer a lot more variety than dailies

[Littleraven]

I'd be fine with a mix of both. World quests for just general stuff to do in the world but dailies in the vein of MoP where each faction has a mini story told over them.

[Splenda]

World quests. They change up enough to keep them less awful imo.

I'm not talking about the daily cap of 20 that was removed.

I'm talking about how each hub only had a certain amount and that was it for the day. World quests refresh twice a day though I'm pretty sure, and have far more in a zone overall.

Typically every 6 hours, sometimes 4. If you go look at the quests and compare the durations. They'd say something like 23, 17, 11, 5 hours remaining. With some 21s, 15s, 13s mixed in.

I mean yeah you had choices, Icecrown (your only choice) and Storm Peaks (your secondary choice with around 10 or so dailies in it) and Sholazar Basin (gotta get that green drake mount! Come on, this week for sure!). But did we have any over in Howling Fjord or Grizzly Hills, my two favorite zones? Nope.

Once I got the green drake and polar bear mounts that left me with Icecrown exclusively, my least favorite zone due to the dreary color scheme and music. (except the argent tournament. I did like that music.)



That's just justifiably complaining that WQs are too rewarding (of which I agree, my "alt" has been better off than my raiding main all expansion), rather than really countering why I like them, which is that they take me to more than just the max level zones.

Think in reverse as well, how much worse Legion would have been if we only had dailies in Argus and the Broken Shore. People complained enough about Legion aesthetic fatigue having those two patches in a row, but at least you could go do stuff in Suramar. (which surpassed Howling Fjord for me as the most gorgeous zone in history)

Fjord I can't remember any. Grizzly Hills had pvp ones all over the west side, at the sawmill along the river and the Venture Co.? along the coast.

So I have to pretend to be immersed in the game now instead of actually be immersed? Got it.

[diarx]

Neither.

Give me vanilla like rep grinds with outdoor mobs that have interesting loot tables containing a micro-chance to drop cool stuff/recipes.

[FuxieDK]

Dailies, MoP v5.0 style.. Was pretty much the perfect way to do it..

A shit load of dailies to do, organized in neat hubs.

[Kokolums]

World Quests are great and have the potential to be incredible SOCIAL content if they were ever implemented on a server with its own in-game community. Much better social content than dailies.

[ophion1990]

I prefered dailies. WQs is basicly running to a spot, joining the LFG, waiting for an invite, hit a mob twice and be done. Most of it really does feel like just running/flying around or waiting for respawns. Dailies gave you 1 hub where you completed multiple objectives, which feels a lot better, since you actually spend more time playing the game, rather than looking at a different monitor while traveling. IDK, it just feels pretty counterintuitive to need another source of entertainment while playing a game, since there's literally nothing going on in the game for common short lengths of time.

It's not even like WQs are less repetitive. CoA has like, what, 3 WQs? How often have you aoe farmed elementals? Same thing with the tortollan stuff, they added the new drawing ones but it's still a small poolto draw from.

That all aside, WQs do suffer from scaling making them take a bit longer, they also suffer from a lack of flying early on in expansions, which is what made dailies very easy to go out and do.

[Schmilblick]

WQs are improved versions of dailies.

[Loeve]

World quests dont make any sense, no story or knowing whats going on behind them.

[tru]

WQs, lets me keep going out into the world rather then always go to the same spot every day over and over and etc.

so your ok with same bland npc face "go do this" be done in 2 min but do 80 on the map vs MoP style that at least had a story progression for the faction you were doing the daily quests for?

Ill take any form of daily quests again vs WQ and the abysmal quest table

[Directionalk9]

They’re basically the same thing. With level scaling, the difference would now be we see daily hubs in Jade Forest as opposed to max level zones.

Although, I would say dailies.

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

I don't really seem a huge difference. I mean, professions have their own WQs...

[Aeula]

Dailies. Isle of Thunder in 5.1 did it best with each set sending you to a different specific area for that day.

World Quests are scattered all over the place and feel very shallow.
