    Words of Wisdom

    This new extra credits video gives a great insight into quest design and how it can make the game-world come to life.

    That's a pretty nice channel. Thanks for the link; I'll probably watch a lot more of those later. The story missions can be great sometimes. And Hildebrand has some epic comedy to it. But the rest of the side quests in this game are all boring "Talk, travel, deliver/kill, complete" quests with no life to them.

    And these seasonal events we're getting are the worst quests I've ever done in an MMO...

    "Talk to an npc, travel and talk to five more npc's, return to original npc. Talk to five more NPC's."
    What..!?

    If whatever you're shooting doesn't die after you pump 8, 32 caliber, slugs into it, it's probably a dragon.

    Ehmm, you didn't play many different MMOs did ya?

    In every single MMORPG it's kill/deliver/gather for side quests.

    I agree that the seasonal events in this game have been terrible. The crossover events (Shantotto, Dragon Quest, and Lightning) were better, but aside from the Lightning one, they all suffered from being too short, like there was barely any effort put into them. And Lightning... well, I think many will agree with me that I just don't like her that much.

    Also, great video, OP.

    I made a thread fairly recently that shares my, and several others thoughts on it.

    Many might argue that is not a good thing. Including myself.
