MSQ Questing in response to Yoshida's interviews

[Jeeqbit]

Did you actually play it after they changed it?

On alts, yes.

Because when I was running my alt through EW again they may have as well held my hand through it all on the normal difficulty. The objectives are much clearer, which to me was the charm point of that duty- to get lost in it. But maybe this is an unpopular opinion (and likely super biased because I put alot of personal significance to that duty)

Maybe. I suppose I didn't notice it being clearer since I assumed I was lost in exploring the whole place the first time regardless.

And although it maybe feels slightly easier I think this is just because I know what to do and where everything is and how to navigate through it efficiently. A lot of things in this game feel easier when you repeat them because of knowing what to do after all.

I think they were really excited for this new feature and wanted to use it alot which I don't blame them for, it's not a bad one.

I think that's really it right there. It's something they developed and it's only logical a developer doesn't want to waste their new feature.

But it could help if they come up with some similar ideas to mix in with it, even if they're from traditional single player games that MMORPGs don't normally copy, and bring those into the MMORPG genre in a similar way, to shake up the concept of killing enemies and picking up/handing over items that MMORPGs have done for decades.

I leveled an alt recently and arr questing was very refreshing compared to the SHb-Ew-Dt era of visual novels
there is kill quests constantly and it feels more like na actual MMO
i'd love to see more of that especilally in slower parts of the story.

From my personal observation, the fuel tank and also the injured imperial were pretty clearly shown which wasn't before. I'd have to actually run it again to confirm it but I don't think I have it in me to endure the emotional torture that is EW on another char.

Honestly I hope so
