Cortyn feels slowly mocked by WoW. The weekly missions are a bad joke.
I know, I know. By now, some of you are fed up with me getting worked up about World of Warcraft. But it needs to be said one last time – at least for this month.
Basically, I think the idea of stretched content is quite good. It feels nice when you get a new quest line every week, instead of having “slogged through” all the content on the first weekend and then sitting dry for months.
But what World of Warcraft did with Patch 7.2 really makes me angry. The beginning of Patch 7.2 was still quite alright. There were several quests, a few exciting contents for the Order campaign, and new companions. “Everything is fine,” one would say.
WoW: Filler Quests with No Story
But for almost 3 weeks, I feel completely mocked by World of Warcraft.
- First, for a quest you had to collect 100 Sentinax Tokens – basically a “Kill 100 elite demons or a few bosses” quest.
- Last week, 10 world quests were to be completed.
- This week, I am supposed to kill 100 demons that are lurking somewhere at the proverbial “end of the world”.
This is a quest design I only know from very, very dark “Silkroad” days.
Or to put it bluntly: For almost a month, the new quests of World of Warcraft have absolutely no story content left. They are mindless “filler” quests, where I actually wonder if those at Blizzard are playing the “You would never dare” game, where a particularly tough developer repeatedly proves that they do dare.
Honestly, I’m hesitant to even check the database on wowhead to see what the glorious quest next week could be. Because I am slowly reaching a point where I am really considering disappearing from Azeroth for a few weeks. At least the weekly quests of the “Tomb of Sargeras campaign” are not worth it right now.
But okay. That should be enough for now regarding World of Warcraft. Fortunately, a new killer in Dead by Daylight is coming out tomorrow – that should certainly provide some fun or a lot of frustration…
Last week it was about the addiction to likes, upvotes, and general recognition.
