Endwalker? More like Escort Walker

[Brill_]

First couple were fine, but it got old fast. Can't mount, can't use aetheryte. If DF pops mid quest, you have to go back and start all over again.

The "Walk around with an NPC following you" is fine.
The "follow someone and don't fall behind" is okay, unless they decide to RP-walk everywhere.

The "follow someone and if they spot you, start all over" is getting OLD. Fast.

This sums up my thoughts as well. I actually quite liked some of the walk-arounds with NPCs....but the stalking ones I am NOT a fan of.

Escort missions aren't too bad, but it's the stalking missions that age like milk. Maybe they wouldn't be so bad if they automatically dropped you back at the starting point if/when you fail them.

Yes, these are the ones I have a problem with by far. The shit where they're following you isn't all that bad. I don't think it's this big game changing revolutionary experience like some do but it doesn't detract from the experience necessarily. The follow/hide stuff can gtfo though.

Could be much worse, at least you don't have to beckon them.

It seems that SE has finally figured out how to implement escort quests and is determined to have multiple ones in every single zone.

Especially during the MSQ.

NPC X has lost sight of you! Return to start over!

I think this is the general theme they were trying to go at with this expac. You wait in a queue watching a little number go down, then you click on some text boxes and walk around a bit. Wash, rinse, repeat. I think even ARR has this beat. A bit of a shame thus far. I'm sure the rest of the story is good, but we can't really play it, and when we can, it's just a walking simulator.

It's not that bad your kind of over reacting and being extra to be honest.

crappy out of place stealth level, escorting stupid AI, all we need at this point is a crappy water level then we will have the shitty holy trinity of video games......

I really enjoy it, it adds too the immersion a certain other game doesn't have, and i have no problem with the speedrunners who later complain they dont know whats going on and call the game boring or whatever else feeling upset.

That said, I wish it was a little more forgiving in certain aspects such as the stalking quests. Going back to the start of those can be a real pain.
But hey, Its new, they will likely, hopefully tweak it with time to feel better.
