Quest Chaining!? <NO THANKS>

[Felis]

"Yes, unlike current version it's not where you kill mobs to level but the development is being done to a style where you naturally level up by clearing contents."

And, no thank you. This can only mean one thing QUEST CHAINING!~

Seriously, I don't wanna go do 20 quests, move to a different area do their 20 quests..... seriously. I hope they don't do this. This comment right there makes me worried.

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-DEAL BREAKER!

Also thank you Reinheart for the translation!~ As always

hmm, you posted only the answer and forgot the question

In the interview it is said you can gain up to level 20 through contents such as quests so I think it's more of not to enjoy leveling but you gain the level while you are adventuring the world.

I don't know anyone else on these forums that creates 4+ threads and continually responds to his own posts in order to keep it in the front page. All of Rokien's post are designed to troll...

Vast majority of the the people that reply know that to be true. Rokien has a few "followers" that help him keep idiotic posts on the front page.

I realize the irony of my post keeping this thread alive, but it only in protest, not because I find his posts to be anything substantive... far from it. He's a child seeking attention. The same way my 4 year old acts up when wanting a rise out of me.

Ergo, you believe Rokien is a child seeking attention because he bothers to bring something to the forums because you find it to be illegitimate. Great logic.

If anything yoshi is only proving me right on all these occasions.

I've also said many times we don't know how 2.0 is going to roll out, that's why I'm still here. i'll check out 2.0 if it's how i think its going to be I'll leave.

Yeah, you and me both. Almost every time Yoshida opens his big mouth with another letter or an interview about 2.0, something about it just makes me cringe, but I'm willing to see through the hiccups to try 2.0 at least (unlike some of the kind of people Yoshida is targeting - those that will instantly crawl back to WoW at the moment of a hiccup).

The sooner people stop paying attention and responding to the tripe the op posts the sooner he will go away.

you really want me to leave this game?

If I can't see it, it's not there.

I'm having a hard time figuring out what the actual problem is with having "Quest Chaining". I mean, let me ask it this way...

What would you like to do in the game, other then doing quests? Explore on your own? Tackle roaming primals (like Odin)? Clear dungeons? Craft items/gear? Form/join a party for grinding XP/SB/Beastcoins/Seals/etc? You can still do all theses things wether or not these quest hubs will be introduced in 2.0.

So, why is having the ability to chain quests going to be a deal breaker for you? If 2.0 would introduce a whole bunch of Quest hubs in each area, then they would be more content for players to do within the game. It's up to you as a player if you want to do these quests after all.

Could you clarify that for me?

Though I may disagree with Rokien about not implementing quest chaining (I see nothing wrong per-se, so long as it's meaningful quest chaining and not what MMOs practice today), games that have employed quest chaining are filled with quests full of mindless and boring paragraphs without any decent story whatsoever.

Yep, and people say the same about XIV's dialogue, even though in XIV the dialogue is actually meaningful in the long run given the type of era it is.

Most MMOs you can't even determine an era through NPCs that doesn't flatout say "THIS IS THE MIDDLE AGES!", they're that 2 dimensional.

That is my only true gripe with Quest Chaining for progression, lifeless even if the quest is "fun", it means you're more than likely doing it for the exp and no one can truly deny that :\

That's what I love about ffxiv is their dialogue and they had to dumb that down as well, BECAUSE, people complained....
