No more side quests?

[davidz]

Travis | Support Mgr. while playing a new toon, I realized putting side tasks at the end is fine for experienced players, but that makes the game a little harder and boring for new players! I think you really need to return to the original way to help and retain new players.

Like the add they removed andd supposed to add a way to get gem but we never saw it

[Travis | Support Mgr.]

AFAIK, it was a decision made based on hard data. Most new players (by far) just skip through the quest dialogues, so the side quests weren't adding anything to the game aside from the rewards, which the team can add elsewhere.

Okay, I'll bite. Why were the side quests removed?

[Travis | Support Mgr.]

This is by design.

[davidz]

Travis | Support Mgr. is this by design or a bug? We lost a lot of tasks without being told so.

[Arawn]

It seems to be all of them though (free the merlocks, etc)

[davidz]

I think one can potentially exploit the mushroom and the tea and accumulate them…

[Och]

Yeah. Ok at least I’m not the only one. Thanks guys

[davidz]

Same here. I love the mushroom and the tea too.

I'm really dissed off by this ? unannounced change. Why would you want to run the story twice to get rewards that can really help new players/ toons? Now I have to buy more EXP boosters instead of using the mushroom and iced tea EXP rewards.

Side quests were a distraction during anb, not all agree but some like the change.

[Turgeon]

Did they do that to cancel some free gem in anb Since in anb lot of player wont go further then act 1. The side quest was some free gem that we dont have anymore

[jay clarke]

Not a bug need to complete story mode, then repeat through side quests

[Och]

I’m playing the bronze event and no npc’s

have the side quests any more. Bug?
