When I first logged into the server the PVP quests were really cool. After 3 months I'm sick of this ****.
Problems
The quest objectives completely derail the BG you're playing and on Wednesdays you end up with 10 people all standing at flag in EOTS trying to complete their quests.
The other thing is the 'win 10 solo Qs' as a DPS can take longer than completing SSC&TK in full with a semi competent group.
Needing 1 item from Kael Thas and having to complete 14 prequests to have a chance at getting the item you need. Onyxia players go straight to TK if they need Kael gear, they dont have to sit in an SSC if they dont want to
Suggestions
Allow players to pick which set of quests they want to complete first, SSC or TK
Randomise quest order
Rework objectives to not ruin BG experience eg; Do a certain amount of damage/healing to players. Win specific BG instead of performing some stupid specific task within the BG
I think it would be easy to change the BG quests to promote teamwork instead of doing the opposite.
For expl:
- AB: Hold 3 bases continuously for 5 min w/o hostile takeover
- AV: Defeat the enemy general while none of the own bunkers/towers were destroyed.
- EotS: The team has to turn in the flag while holding all bases.
- Wsg: Win 3 - 0
The variable not considered here is in a raid group there is loot priority. Some loot pieces are highly contested and even though we see it drop in raid, there are several players in line to get it. This means some people will never get that loot in the phase at all. So it might make sense that the bar is a little higher for Blackrock in that regard.
Just having quests at all on one server and not the other is going to derail battlegrounds. It was just a piece necessary to help fuel the Blackrock concept.
