Silly Quests?

June 30, 2021

As I mentioned in a previous post, I stopped playing and I am mostly watching streamers play from time to time.

However, whats your take on some of the quests? We already established the game is not realistic, but f*ck, having quests such as:

"Kill X amount of scavs from X amount of meters, while having a broken hand, and wearing no armour"

is dumb AF, just breaking any of the realistic illusion that one might still hold after so many hours. How is that any way realistic or smart?

Why would anyone need someone to kill Scavs or PMC's with a broken hand, broken legs, head trauma, while being drunk and all the other idiotic requirements that is in the quests?

This is quantity over quality.

Why not implement some sort of convoy that is present on a map 2 times a week, and PMCs need to get something from that convoy, so you actually get some action over a quests with a multitude of players?

I just cant imagine doing a dumb quest (like the one I mentioned at beginning), mind you doing it over and over and over again with every wipe. Just seems like a placeholder, or just to brute force extend quests, so getting containter is longer just for the sake of it being longer.

Mind you it was such a put down, once Iearned that there are such quests, it just put me off totally from doing them at the very start. Seemed such a waste of time, and immersion breaking; so I havent done such quests even once tbh.

Sounds to me like your just angry you cant get them done.The killing with tremor is easy just don't repair a fracture limb and enter the raid you can still use a pain killer even with the tremor.Honestly i hated some of these two an was getting annoyed with them but honestly once you get them done the first time after that you find the way easier.

Just because they are easy once you figure it out doesnt mean they are any less dumb haha. Most of them should be achievements through fence that you get better rewards for. Most of jeagers shouldnt be progression quests though as they make no sense for a story.

You do realise these quests are not part of the main storyline right?

Nah, like I said they break the immersion for me. Not angry that I cant finish them (never did try them in the first place, and the other dumb ones, I have seen them only streams which is why I know of them); they just feel like dumb time fillers.

It seems the devs didnt have more ideas, or just did not have the time or patience to come up with other quests. Thats all.

Maybe its just me, that I have to have some sort of "realistic" enough reason (even altough all this is just virtual and for fun) to even have a go at a quest or mission. Who knows, maybe I am just getting older and I am super picky, but man this really sticks out like a sore thumb to me. Just cringe.

you do realise there is no main story line, just shitty quests that in other games would be called "achievements". becuz thats what you call retarded gamey tasks that dont make much sense. and thats what jägers quests should be, hidden achievements that are unlocked from lvl 1.
