So how are the new quests?

Without taking the lore in consideration, is there a point in doing those quests?

Do they give any reward worth of the time spent?

Content Filler and sense of accomplishment?! I'm a completionist so I do everything in games :P But I'll agree to both points made so far, quests are of higher quality than the last batch by a fair margin and while it is a wall of text the writing is superb :D Contains both local AND world lore, it's a great break from leves and the like so been really enjoying it so far! There's no cutscenes but you get into mini instances like main quests in this new batch, seen a goblin questgiver (Fun stuff if u figure out what he's talking about, made me laugh^^ so cute too *^.^*), and the few fights I did were alot more fun than the 8x kill quests :)

Mine's still updating... T_T

I can't wait to try the new quests!! So excited :D

I can't wait to get in on these!

I gathered the Ul'dah quests last night, will start them this weekend. Definitely more (!) over NPC's heads than the first batch of sidequests.

Ok. Now I've finished an instanced one, and I have to say, it was fun. :)

I'm enjoying the quests in general, they give a story to the world, its pretty cool - I hope they have some sort of fame system ala FFXI that has some benefits tagged with it.

I just did one quest where I had to fight two ama'ljah beastmen. It was okay. It would be nice if quests had some voice overs, but I suppose that's asking for a lot. But even justa little voice emote for NPCs when they give you a quest or ask for your help, and the beastmen too should probably say something instead of just grunting when they die. I realise as Im saying this that the thread isn't a suggestion thread, but I can't help myself.

And can I just ask: why does that annoying blue box have to pop up and obscure my screen every single second of my playtime only to inform me that I completed a quest or that one of guildleve mobs is fleeing? It's so annoying. I wouldn't mind it if it didn't occlude so much of the screen at any given time, being so centered right in the middle as it is.

Reminds me too much of guildleves.

I have no idea what SirEdeon is talking about. Quests still feel disjointed from the world and pointless to your character growth.

Quests in MMOs don't always have to be a leveling system..but I'm old fashioned RPG player.

If leveling is your single, soul purpose for playing, then yes, I wouldn't imagine the side quests will interest you much. But if you like doing quests just for the sake of doing quests (like me :D ), then you will probably enjoy them very much.

They really add to the lore as well. I like that too.
