I have been steadly getting wearier of open enviroment games and rpgs because of the tedious nature of most of its quests, even great games i like like dragon age, witcher, and skyrim had this issue.
derivative, mindless, filler, and liner quests make up for 90% of the game's content, even the main quest path can have you running in circles looking for x amount of items or plot devices, only to run all the way back to the quest giver to end the quest.
but this game so far had none, none at all, all the quests have something to them.. even the small mundane interactions have alot of variable outcomes- cool secrets- and 0 tediousness.
very very few games, especially RPGs have this.. and it is my favorite part about this game.

Welcome to Destiny Reddit! This sub is for discussing Bungie's Destiny 2 and its predecessor, Destiny. Please read the sidebar rules and be sure to search for your question before posting.
To start, I love D2. It's one of my main games. And I'm just going to preempt the "you don't have to play it!!!!!!" mentality. Yes. I don't have to play it. And I have 0 intention of touching solstice on my hunter/titan. But the treadmill needs to be smoothed out just a touch with maybe some more emphasis on engaging activities instead of being held hostage to FOMO
But it's reached a point of the MMO design philosophy that ends up putting a lot of people off: The Treadmill.
MMOs originally had a lot of emphasis on exploration, social networking, and group play. Dailies/weeklies didn't exist, except for maybe loot lockout on a certain boss.
As MMO development went along, without these caps, players could grind to max and just be done with the MMO til the next big content drop, either unsubscribing or just never coming back. There wasn't a lot of incentive to continue playing when you couldn't increase your power anymore.
This became the standard MMO design and was further refined with daily quests with a currency / reputation grind gating a key piece of power progression that could take weeks to months. Loot lockouts became standard to gate power progression behind a once a week drop from a specific raid boss.
It's all about forcing a player to dedicate consistent weekly time if they want to be competitive for endgame, which I would argue isn't necessarily a bad thing if it's done conservatively.
The problem is that it isn't conservative in most cases, and especially not in D2. It's reached all time levels of investment.
Seasonal titles demanding considerable investment that's exactly the same as last season, but with a different weapon (looking at you dredgen), RNG on RNG grinds for deepsight weapons (Haunted weapons are the worst yet), limited time titles (flamekeeper being 3 weeks and now IB being 2 specific weeks a season), and the power grind treadmill...
Reasons to play the game is great, but it really is approaching kind of FOMO levels of "Play this activity or miss this stuff for the forseeable future". And god help you if you happen to be out of town during the 2 weeks that IB is around.
I love D2, and I am glad to see it thriving. But I don't want to feel held hostage by it either.
Anywho, I feel like I might get swarmed for this and am 300% expecting the "You don't have to play it!!!!!" when I've already said that I enjoy the game and just want to see it be the best it can be.
EDIT: So I apparently got a shoutout from Paul Tassi. Neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuhNTgi6pBM&ab_channel=PaulTassi
Welcome to the wholesome side of the internet! This community is for those searching for a way to capture virtue on the internet.
For me it is a few, but the top 3 are (according to Steam time logged):
-
Fallout 4 (516: because I am addicted to settlement)
-
Terraria (370.4: I enjoy it's combat better than Minecraft, but also enjoy building with Legos like Minecraft)
-
Europa Universalis 4 (353.5: would you believe that 200 or so of those hours are ONE playthrough from 1440 to 1821? Japan conquered the world via colonizing the Americas first)
My last game to make the cut is Anno 2205 at 100.8 hours. Really loved how that game literally told you "you have been playing for 8 hours, I have noticed a marked decrease in your performance".

I just wanted to say that GW2 has some of the most friendliest people I have ever come across in an mmo, having played them for many years. I’ve only been playing GW for about two months now.
I was really struggling today doing the jumping puzzle in the ember bay volcano for hours when a very nice Mesmer came along and literally asked if I needed help. She walked me through the entire thing step by step and if I stuffed up would portal me to the next step. Donating her time and being patient with my newb non existent gliding skill. She also taught me things I didn’t know I could even do on my necro!
Made my day I was finally able to get that done as there was no way I could have done it without her! So thank you :D

I'll be joining the MMO team as the Game Director!
Excited to go on this next epic adventure with you all.
Picture:
In June this year, I'll be joining Ghostcrawler and the MMO team as the project's Game Director! We're still working out all the transition details, but I'm very confident in the League team's direction and the future of the game. Expect the same transparency, quality, and openness to feedback as we've tried to live up to over the years.
Personally, working on League for the last 8 years has been the honor of my life. The talented dev team and the passionate players like you have been a critical part of building and improving my favorite game. I've enjoyed every day of it so far and I'm looking forward to our next big adventure together.

I have news!
My recent job at Riot has been to help develop the League universe, which we’re going to need!
Because it is time. My new job is to kick off a big (some might say massive) game that many of you, and many Rioters, have been asking us to create.
In case you think he's just misdirecting, other Rioters are responding more explicitly. And here's Ghostcrawler himself stating it as such.
It's been about time. World of Runeterra coming soon?
Hello, I was banned for gifting a friend a shiny pokemon and money and hit with a "RWT"
Whats the point of a MMO when you cant trade and give stuff away when you feel like it because staff can ban you for thinking its a real world trade for money.
I have old vanities worth a billion pokeyen and I cant give away a shiny weedle and 20mill to my buddy who I know in real life when I been playing this game for many years?
I cant even explain myself in customer support on the website since you closed my ticket saying "RWT" since I dont have valid proof we spoke about it without it being edited and now I cant do anything else.
I find this game to be a joke by you guys being super strict banning people because of what you guys find "suspicious." I'm 32 years old who works full time and giving away a shiny and 20mill probably worth about 60$ in terms of reward points is a joke when I make that in less than two hours at work.
The way this game is going with all the banning lately you guys will keep losing a lot of customers.
So fair warning to people who spend money on this game watch what you spend on here and don't give things out.

This applies to many games, not just BDO, and I've seen it enough times that I feel obligated to post about it.
BDO is complex and uses systems that are not re-used in other games; specifically, the combat and combo system. So you can't play it like other games, you need to read and learn the system, before calling it bad.
When I see players try BDO, ignore the tutorial in the middle of their screen, spam one ability, deal zero damage, and then ask, "Why can't I just Quick-slot all of my abilities? This is a bad system."
... It makes me cringe--especially, when they realize it will put them at a disadvantage to quick-slot skills and they rage over it.
Black Desert has, objectively, one of the smoothest combat systems of any MMO. It's constantly referenced by MMO reviewers, when talking MMOs that set an example for good combat. So, just give it a chance; pretend you're learning combat in an MMO for the first time, you won't be disappointed.
You want an MMO that's different, better, and yet you refuse to try playing it the way the game teaches you to play it? You spam through quests that give you hints about the systems in the game, then have no idea what's going on and it's the game's fault?
That's bullsh*t. I've played MMOs for 20 years, so I understand rushing through things, but I'd never blame the game for my lack of knowledge after doing so. After all, it would have been me who skipped all the dialogue. I'd look up a guide to make up for my mistake.
If you attempt to play a game, that you've never played before, as if you're a veteran player of that same game (spamming through quests, not reading, ignoring on-screen tutorials, trying to play it in a different way than is suggested, etc.), then you don't deserve the best the game has to offer and your review is invalid.
Sorry, that's it for my rant. I've seen many YouTubers and streamers, small and large, attempt BDO with the influx of players and it's always something to do with the above. I'm so tired of it.
Ghostcrawler tweeted:
Hey internet. Thanks for all the support over the past few months while I was afk
I am back now with some big news to share: I have decided to step down from my role at Riot Games
A combo of personal and professional considerations led me to down this path. We experienced some devastating personal losses last year and I want to be closer to my surviving family.
But while I was on break I got to think a lot about my career. Grief has a way of really bringing into focus what matters the most to you (still don’t recommend it overall though). And after nine years at Riot it feels like it’s time for something new!
I said from the beginning that building a League of Legends MMO worthy of you all was going to be a long journey. The most important job I could do as part of that was to build an amazing team, and while I try to stay humble overall, I will brag about this team all day!
The MMO is in good hands and it’s the right time to hand over the reigns for the next phase
I plan to stay in game development and I have had a number of exciting opportunities presented to me already. And I will be with you all playing the Riot MMO when it comes out.
Hugs, GC
Tryndamere tweeted this on the MMO's development:
A little bit ago, @Ghostcrawler shared that after 9 years with @riotgames he’ll be stepping away to focus on the things that matter most: his family. Thank you again for everything, Greg.
I want to take a second to talk a little about what that means for the MMO…
First, we are still in early development, but have a direction that we’re very excited about. We’re working hard to deliver an experience that you’ll love. (But it will still be a VERY long road to get there - thanks for being patient with us.)
We believe in this game and the team working on it. If we look at development as a race, Greg has run an amazing first leg with an incredible team, and I know whoever takes the baton next will be set up for success going forward.
In the meantime, we’re looking for the world’s best and brightest who LOVE MMOs. If you have ever dreamed of helping to build what we hope can be the world’s next incredible MMO - we’d love to hear from you.

I am new to wow. Just leveled my first char to 25 in duskwood (a priest). Met a lot of folks along the way. Player density is crazy. World feels alive.
I have never had an experience like this. Why is this game so good.
Is this the hardest MMO around (barring hardcore)?
I just love it. This is a classic game that doesn't spoonfeed you. You have to explore and figure out things by yourself, get connected with the right people.
I now understand why WoW was a king in its prime.
This game literally holds up NOWADAYS compared to 99% games on the market.
Is WoW classic the best version of WoW?
Is retail WoW like classic WoW? What about wrath or TBC? Are they as well designed as classic?
