limiting the amount of quests you can get from quest trees is a good idea imo. "gerdgen doesnt have any tasks left for you today, come back tomorrow"
see homo sexuality trending,. do not do that.

I agree it should be limited in some way, or just losing it's efficiency with each quest you complete the same day. Now if you want to keep up with the rest you need to completely ignore your village needs and quest without breaks. I want mah dudes home, not messing with those creepy trees :(

"It isn't fair that they have more than time." is not very compelling imo.

I understand that obviously, I just think this game headed in a direction I wasn't expecting nor wanting. Every single person I know is doing quests. All. Day. Long. I know 50+ people playing 8 hours day, all they do is quests. I didn't expect this game to turn into that. I love the idea I just think there should be a limit to something, so I see people having more fun in the acual game of hafen, and not running in straight lines to talk to trees.

You want other people to do what you think would be more fun. That doesn't strike you as: "I know what's best for other people!" ?


That said, I think that saying you don't like something is totally fine. But saying you want other people to play the game how you want it to be played crosses a line.

Kick them out if they arent usefull. Any people that only quests will get behind on feps and setting up industry. So given equal playtime thing should even out in the long run or not?

I agree that quests are inconsistent with the rest of the game design. Getting ahead used to be more about being smart, efficient and knowledgeable; The grind only got you so far. Now its like runescape tier grind.

One other thing I realized today was I had never actually just taken a boat and explored the world because every other time I am free I ended up walking between trees in my local area. I used to do nothing but explore the map.

I dont hate quests I just think they are OP, theyve inserted themselves as the core part of the game and its not even properly fleshed out really, the quests are too repetitive and dull. Also fuck RNG. Bluebells were the kind of RNG I could get behind but even those are useless now wtf, instead now feel like I'm on the fucking slot machines and slowly losing all my money while everyone around me hit jackpot every other day.

Fucking hell, I agree.
I am purposefully allowing myself to 'fall behind' because I cannot stand questing, especially chain questing for hours and hours.

You know one of the primary causes of people quitting is getting burned out, or at least I hope you know that. That's why I end up quitting anyway, when the monotony just gets too much and I'd rather be doing literally anything else. Limit the amount of quests so we can do them, feel good about ourselves, then dedicate the rest of the day to doing other shit.
Changes take forever to go through though unfortunately, ideally I'd like this to be high as fuck priority.
