    I can’t decide if this is better or worse than FFXIV’s “Talk to NPC #1. Talk to NPC #2. Watch long cutscene. Point at NPC #3. Report back to NPC #1. Quest complete!”

    I do not understand how people can still play stuff like that. Such an unfun and outdated gamemechanic.

    I remember playing some shitty free MMOs in my youth. Kill 12 foobars, kill 10 bazbots. Being legitimately excited when they overlapped so I could do more than one at the same time. Some part of the brain just gets excited seeing numbers go up and progress bars fill.

      Elite Dangerous massacre stacking 😌 “Kill 200 Foobar Party pirates”, but 10 of those missions at once (from different factions, or it won’t work!).

    Gonna be interesting to see where WoW Forever (such a shit name) goes. The game really doesnt lend itself to horizontal progression, they are going to have to keep dropping content consistently.

    OSRS still king of “forever” MMOs.

        Sandbox MMOs, designed with horizontal progression in mind. Something you can pick up, do whatever you want in, put down and then pick back up at a point in the future and carry on from exactly where you left off. You cant do this in WoW as a lot of your progress gets deleted or becomes irrelevant when they release a new expansion. WoW Forever is a mode that is trying to mimic that sandbox experience. That is a real challenge though.

        Still think they need to rethink the cost/structure of a subscription.

        Like… give me a minutes system.

        Im not paying $15/mo when I work full time and can only manage like 4 hours a month

          APB tried that and it was pretty controversial. That was when a lot of us late millennial PC gamers were still in our teens and had tons of energy so it would be easy to spend all your minutes doing all nighters.

          Having the option of both would be nice though because now I’m in the same boat as you. Would like to play, don’t want to sub.
