Thread: Snowborn - Finally some dailys I may make myself do for some time

Interesting to hear about the possibility to rebuild this burnt down village via daily quests... does not take away the repeating character of those quests, I guess, but at least it has a similar motivation as for example the building of great monuments in strategy/building games and also makes some good use of the phasing tech.

Until now I really hated doing daily quests, knowing that I can have lots of fun in this game but not when the hamster wheel (which such a game naturally is) is to obviously what it is. SO let's see how Snowborn will help making those quests more fun...

Any dev response on whether this is the new type of repeatable content they were talking about? And if it is... well at least skirm raids might have new gear for the raiders, or at least scaled gear, even if they are incredibly easy.

I guess it is at least one of the steps to make typical MMO content a little more motivating... which I guess is always a good thing, especially after the relatively boring Limlight daily quests.

At first glance the premise may sound a little old-hat, but the implementation is anything but. Every day as players perform these quests they will see a little bit of the town rebuilt which will happen dynamically right in front of them in a phasing-sort of concept. That is to say that while the space will still be shared between all players, what each player actually sees on screen may differ greatly. The downside to this sort of daily quest system is that eventually the town will be fully rebuilt and the player will no longer have the daily quest to do. But that will take some time, and appropriately reward participants.

I actually quite like the sound of that, so long as it's more involving than clicking on 12 bricks and 10 pot of glue.

Nice review. I'm excited

It has potential. Turbine should tell us how many days of dailys need to be done.. will resets be available in the store? ..Will the quest/daily be random? How many different dailies will there be?

..Obviously they cant tell us all of this yet.. but I'm primarily intersted in the first one.. and what kinds of dailies we're looking at.

It's certainly more promising than the end-game fishing they talked about.

The only problem is, everyone will be excited and rush to complete it; and the aftermath? Once people have done it they will be bored again. Hopefully this new mechanic will not only be used for the reconstruction of a burnt village, but perhaps for the scaled instances so that there will be, well, a new tier?
