Why are they drip-feeding us quests?

[Jerry]

They're the same exact quests from last season, just dragged out for arbitrary game length?

Why doesn't every merchant have at least one affinity quest so you can get squire gear its baffling

[Puzzled Sphinx]

so that casual players have a chance to drip feed into the game instead of showing up and getting instantly rolled by people who have unlocked all squire gear so soon in the season

[cringe]

idk its kinda killing my desire to play. we already have gearscore based matchmaking it rly shouldnt matter.

There difference between a fighter with full whites and non-full whites is about 25% more damage and 20% more effective health.

Quest enjoyer found. But having something to look forward to every week isn't a bad thing.

And yes, its very necessary both for squire and for higher-end content. If they unlocked everything right way you'd have folks running around in Frost gear wrecking everybody in the higher brackets/HR day 1. It's good to give people a chance to build up their armory so they can deal with these types of threats.

I agree, why cant I get leather items, at least grey...

[Puzzled Sphinx]

there are def pro's and cons. tho I LOVE the quests, there has to be some reward worth getting, or no one would do them. Crafting services is a great reward but not all merchants offer it, nor could they with the current selection of items in the design of the games meta. If they added more, it would add creep.

You can, you just have to buy them from the vendor instead of getting them from squire.
They cost pocket change and one single raid could net you 5-10 of full sets like that.

Problem is unreliability of vendors stock.

Yeah this is really stupid because we cant unlock squire gear and for example fighter without plate amor narrows its builds (forget about longsword)
And thats why we have more dagger fighters than before.

Not to mention that last wipe, because of balance issues with some classes, i was getting more hooked on quests (pve and trying to solo bosses) so thats another bummer.

Imagine sweats running in gold kits destroying you within the first week, that's what it was like without the restriction. It's a good thing.

Just have the first set of quests? That doesn't give you gold crafts on any of the merchants with 25 affinity. Just get to enjoy all the weapons,

Thats the most lazy way to "balance" a game: cutting content.

Casual balancing. Cant award the good players who know how to speedrun quests all the early <25 gear or bads will cry.

If you dont like it start pushing back on all the people making the same stupid threads demanding casualization of the game. More brackets, tighter gear. No movement speed bonuses, nerf this class I lose to it sometimes unlike other classes, give us a pve mode, give us a practice mode, give us a mode where we afk and the loot goes right into our character and we come back extracted with full legendaries. Give us a mode where every room is a boss that dies in 1 hit and drops toll pelts that sell for 2k. This totally wont impact troll pelt price negatively.

If it was not like this, you would be sitting here, complaining that you got 2-shot by people in full ruby silver or gold kits.

This is literally here, so sweats will not farm your butt on day 3, wearing most powerful armor and crafted weapons in game.

Ok but if its just one affinity quest at the start then nobody gets ruby silver or gold kits? Like I mentioned to someone else in this thread already?

That's just such a weak argument and an obvious cope for the developers

Because the season is a marathon and not a sprint. Get your quests done and go play warhammer or something. The slower roll out of quests keeps the playing field level for as long as possible. Do you really want to see the no lifers and sweat streamers in full golden gear in the first week?
