They need to rethink how they do story in 7.0 +

[Deveryn]

If there's one thing they should rethink about the story in 7.0+ then it's only the question "Should we keep only voicing the important cutscenes, or should we do it like ESO and start voicing EVERYTHING, including the raid storylines which absolutely deserve voice acting ffs"

If this game was done in one language, that would seem feasible, but it's done in 5 or 6. That's your multiplier for each hour of voiceover which probably costs close to 200$ / hour for the actor and studio time. Of course, there's additional time for the team to fit all that in. Before that, there's the audition process. It's a lot of extra time and effort for something many will casually skip.

What I mean by that is cut the filler out. It killed 6.0 for me completely. If each time before we got to a new place and no one there know how we are it make some sense we do small things for them. But by 6.0 it gets old. Like we just saved some people from the end of the world , then we go serve tea and move boxes? Really? We are the god hero of the world and we doing this trash,why? Lots of other filler quests. Make them side ones at last. I hope that SE stop doing it and just do a main ques to the point. Even if it need to be shorter.

I guess you missed the part where we're Azem and always are there for the people. Trivial tasks and all...that was hammered home quite a bit. It's why your WoL never really ever gets pissed about these tasks. Even ones were roped into are generally just shrugged off by us.

Hell that filler trash is probably helping to keep us grounded and not battle hungry with a singular goal like Zenos tbf

I do. It's just to this point we did not know it. And what replaced him was not interesting at all.

But, we do.
Emet told us in Rak'tika the story of Zodiark and Hydaelyn.
As for your second part, that is understandable.
Stories are subjective after all.

Dark Knight quests seem to imply the opposite. That the stupid requests of npcs are slowly pushing us to the point of mass murder.

...People really should realize that saying "no" occasionally doesn't instantly imply that you'll massacre anyone who ever asks for help with something trivial.

...People really should realize that saying "no" occasionally doesn't instantly imply that you'll massacre anyone who ever asks for help with something trivial.

The issue is that the Dark Knight quests don't even start with Fray telling us to say "no".
Fray doesn't snap because people constantly ask for help for menial tasks. He snapped because people who did that would then go on to act entitled and ungrateful.
The problem in the quest wasn't that people nagged us to help them with their cargo. It's that we had to deal with monsters along the way, and their gore was coating the cargo. We got it safely, just with a few gross things on the packaging. And the guy we helped threw a tantrum. That's when he says we should have let them all die to Leviathan.

I am more worried on the First...they teased us the void quests with the job npcs along with the Warring Triad one with the possibility of restoring the 13th, we got Ryne and Gaia after Eden and i would be damn surprised if they do not do anything with them.

It makes me wonder if they will do a time skip unless they mentioned something about that, of course we're still at 6.1...

It's not the tasks themselves. It's feeling like we're being taken for granted that cheeses us off about it.

I pretty much lost it at this expansion when they made us track down like 10+ NPCs scattered around that town in Labyrinthos. But other than that, I don't think the rest of the filler content was that bad.

Looking forward to the next escort mission where we can't get too close to the NPC.

I still remember that incredibly out of place song that played during that segment. It really didn't help that it was like a 20 seconds loop. Over, and over, and over again, all while searching for those NPCs.

[Hurlstone]

In a way, I get the point of those quests. They are meant to slow down the action, and also show that the WoL is at their heart an adventurer out to help people, rather then just be in it for the God Slaying. Whilst that notion can be examined and challenged in places like the DRK quests, I feel they want that to be a core part of our character, even if they are adding more dialogue options where we can be rather bitter in how we react to the menial tasks. I think that if anything, we may see more types of quests like this if their plan for 7.0 is to have the WoL go back to the road of adventuring. That said I do not think these type of quests are bad per-say. They can be good ways to learn more about the environment and characters we meet, if done right. Not every MSQ needs to be about life-or-death encounters with eldric beings. I will admit that they can be rather tiering at times, with the Labyrinthos quest being very painful…
