Oh the SAM 80 is worse, it was just a clip show of the SAM story. I thought it might be reminding the Samurai player of the story as setup for a great new adventure but it just ended.

I think they over-hyped this thing about the lv80 quest. I think everyone thought it would be, despite just one, a very complex and detailed quest...

In the end, it's basically just a little flavor thing for closure on the previous SB quest storyline.

I am up for say a 3 part job quest at 80. I do not need to have 1 at every other level. Heck, if need be, make it where there is a role quest like that, but then give a job quest at level 80 that ties in with getting like the weapon and/or ability.

Yeah, it was underwhelming when Gerolt just hands those job weapons for free without saying anything.

Once again it's not even a paladin quest it's a gladiator quest. Just once can we go around knight erranting and helping people as a free paladin instead of dealing with sultansword lost swords or gladiator drama?

This illustrates maybe why they've gone for role quests, to move away from the shackles of classes, which is a throwback to 1.0. Why they carried over to 2.0, I'm sure, maybe resources or that it was only later they decided they wanted to leave the classes behind and focus on jobs. Either way, they've been making changes in this direction for some time such as altering the job requirements and replacing cross-class skills with role skills.

What could be cool next expansion is once you've done the role quests, if you get to the new level cap with all jobs in that role, to unlock a special quest which brings together all the characters from the previous class quests.

It’s called cutting corners.

Even Nintendo may have taken away the global Pokedex in the upcoming Sword & Shield games because they decided it was too much to keep redesigning Pokemon each game going forwards.

I personally liked the resolution of the DRK quest line at least, we may get more job quests but I'm thinking SE will lean towards role quests going forwards which I am OK with too.

I'm not Job Quests felt like you were among old freinds and continuing a journey with them. Role quests feel ended and afterwords bleh nothing till 80 for anything else you raise whats the bloody point?

I haven't done a lvl 80 job quest yet (close to finishing main story line now), but I WAS kind of expecting a really good quest to top it all off, thinking that, with just one quest this time, they could do more. Oh well.

What I am also thinking is that were mainly based on the First shard at the moment so perhaps they did this for that reason and in 6.0 the job quests will return (assuming we are back on the source primarily).

Well get em back in 6.0 prolly
