The Four Fundamental Quests
Added 2018-08-07 01:22:48 +0000 UTCAdventurer! Adventurer! My farm is under attack by level 2 spiders who don't seem to know how quests work! Watch this video and explain to six of them that there are really only four kinds of quests and they might leave us alone!
That Architect bloke was around here a while ago but he told me I wasn't real and to shut up he was recording some footage, I don't know about you but he doesn't seem very helpful.

Oh just as a headsup, as much as I talk GW2 up in this video, that doesn't mean I endorse Arenanet's recent firing policies but it's not really relevant so I'll avoid creating a flamewar by discussing it further.

2018-08-07 09:13:57 +0000 UTCAs someone that plays a metric ton of FF14 I agree, its quest are terrible. There are very, very few quest or quest lines that I felt I was doing anything meaningful in the world. The only ones I really enjoyed were the Dark Knight class quests and the Shadow of Mhach storyline (Shadow of Mhach only because its 99% 24 man dungeons). If it had better questing it would be a lot easier for new players to get into and not only have fun endgame. Everything before Lvl 60 just feels like a chore you have to get though to be allowed to have fun.
