guess i’m gonna have to wait till the next cup starts for this task
no seriously, can this task not be a thing
this task is a real kick in the nuts if you just so happen to get this task the moment the cup qualification ends (which is the case right now)
The total mission of the cup in maximum is 22
1 in Qualification
14 in Group Phase (2 per day, 7 day total)
7 in Knockout
Which means it takes about more than a Cup
What makes the game fun for me is not what the quests are asking of me, which is why I don’t find quests enjoyable in the slightest. Quests are only fun if the player finds it enjoyable when they do those quests, you get me?
There’s also that problem with actual playtime in the future.
If you’ve spend over hundreds of hours playing this game, but not do any quests, for most people who do not know you, looking at your quests accomplishments could make them think of you as someone who’ve just started, effectively making actual playtime feel … meaningless.
(And time is more important than any arbitrary metric or goal the game could ever make)
And there’s another problem with marketing this game in the future:
There will always be players who solely rely on quests to create meaning in the game. When quests reach a certain point that’s too big for them at scale, or ask of them the things they don’t find fun to do, they’d be frustrated, causing yet another frustration problem to deal with.
PS: a lot of this was already shown at the GMTK video I’d shared to both InterAction and in the replies of the choice rework post. It already happened to many other games, and they all had their own ways to fix it.
Your point being?
My point was that it’s dumb for people to be forced to play a highly competitive mode just to complete a quest. And if you want to do quests, well you’re forced to do this.
I have the same point as you here, but expanded, to all the other quests the player doesn’t really like doing (because it’s not fun for them), but have to in order to “complete a quest”.
I’m also thinking of the idea that there is a button to skip the quest, you can only use this button up to 1 time per level of that rank and of course the number of keys is not cheap.
