"New game plus - quests will have no rewards..."

[HyoMinPark]

It may have been lost in translation, but does this purely mean that there will be no gil and item rewards (which is understandable) but still giving exp so we have an alternative to POTD and HOH for leveling alt jobs - or does this mean: no rewards att all and subsequently that new game plus is a completely useless feature?

How is this feature going to be useless? I was planning the moment it was announced to go back and do things like HW’s story and the DRK job quests (hopefully those are added in sooner rather than later) regardless of if they were going to reward Gil or EXP. So were many of my friends. If players want easy EXP, the game offers tons of options for that already. Not everything needs to give Gil or EXP to be worthwhile. Some players enjoy the story and don’t need carrots dangling from sticks to go back and enjoy it again.

Personally, my hype for 5.1 centers all around New Game Plus. I’ve been dying to do ShB’s story again as a DRK on my main for the “full Warrior of Darkness experience”.

We don't know if it'll give exp or not yet, but overall I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. At least not without some nerfs because it would be a touch too far on the exploitable side to just run the patches over and over again when most don't take long to complete at all.

As for why they made it if exp isn't available, assuming it isn't, it's to give people who skipped the story or whom want to redo the story the ability to do so. Lotro has a very similar feature and in games where the story IS one of it's most important features it's something I'm amazed wasn't implemented sooner.

I’m fairly certain that the PLL last night confirmed that New Game Plus won’t offer quest rewards for doing it. I could be misremembering, as it was late, though.

Wow...playing through quest = want to get free stuff.

You heard it here first folks.

I guess we should just go and remove all rewards from all quests in the game. We wouldn't want to be giving out "free stuff".

Dude, pause and listen to yourself. No one would do anything in the game if there were no rewards. That is the whole point. To progress.

Why exactly are we wasting resources with a system almost no one will use cause it doesn't allow them to progress? Heck i'd rather they worked on something else and dropped this right now. At least more players could enjoy whatever new stuff.

I’ve heard raiders talk about how they’d do the Ultimates even without the title and weapon attached, simply for the experience and the challenge. So, I’d say you’re wrong. There are plenty of people that would do things without shinies attached to them.

Don’t use absolutes in your argument. There are players in this very thread saying that they’re going to make use of the feature—but you’re insisting that “no one” is going to use it. I’m going to use it. I don’t care about EXP and Gil—all of my jobs save GNB are level 70+, and I have more Gil than I need. New Game Plus having no rewards is irrelevant to me.
