As the title states I am wondering if anyone else feels this is the best questing ever amassed for a MMO? If not please share what game has done it better?

Easily. Anyone who says its not, is just being cynical and probably dislikes the game for <insert reason>. |

If you say "no" you haven't done an investigation quest, and had to pick out small details and actually figure something out, instead of "5 pigs... located over there? got it. I'll go kill those 5 pigs." |

While they are intresting but it really is a repeat of the same old quests that have been done over 100 times. They provide an intresting twist with investigations but all in all not the greatest questing experiance. in fact found it rather boring towards the end of Kingsound as it became a "been there, done that" kind of thing and it closed off the player to everyone else. |

Tough to say, not counting the Investigation MIssions I would say TSW and GW2 are equal to each other. I like not always having to run back to the mission giver and just getting a mail or in TSW's case, a cellphone text. With the Investigation Missions I can't really say it's the best since I don't know any other MMO that has something like this but I do enjoy doing them immensely. They offer a unique challenge and I would hope future MMO titles take lessons from this game. |

Yes, the quests feel hand crafted with a lot of variety and thought. Only having a few at a time makes me pay attention to what's happening rather than the sleep walking through hubs. |

Not even close. It's far too inconsistent and the combat isn't enjoyable. www.gamerevolution.com |

The questing simply is the best up to today. "Torquemada... do not implore him for compassion.Torquemada... do not beg him for forgiveness.Torquemada... do not ask him for mercy.Let's face it,you can't Torquemada anything!" Mechwarrior Online - A Thinking Person's Shoter |

Originally posted by JonnyBigBoss How are the quests inconsistent? As far as the combat I'd say its status quo is it not? Tab based combat has been norm to me dating back to my DAoC days. I would call the combat average myself nothing good or bad to it IMO. |

It is because you have to think about some things. Like to get the code for the dirty laundry quest requires additional investigation to something you would have missed otherwise. Other examples you have to jump at certain things that are out of reach and sometimes go out the way just to get something like a surveilance camera for example. This isn't a signature, you just think it is. |

I liked MMOs better when gamers didn't play them, and just geeks did. |

Not even a question. TSW has given hope to the Themepark MMO genre, when there previously was none. As much as I've been hyped for GW2 for years, TSW is a better game. Ya, I can't believe I'm saying it either. Playing: GW2 and DayZ

I am going to be nit picky and answer the question in the title and NOT the question you are asking in your post. In my opinion, is TSW's questing the best for a MMO to date? No. More on this in a minute. Is it good? Well...aside from my issues with the UI, it is alright. I don't like TSW's UI, so I am probably being negatively biased by that fact. Having to actually investigate stuff to do a quest is interesting though. ... ... ... Ok, the minute's up. Here is why i don't think that TSW's questing is the best for MMOs. MMOs are ALL about other people (I mean, why play them if you are going to be playing alone) and quests should reflect that. Most MMOs have this problem, and mostly this issue is so ignored that it is a non issue, but a couple of games have tried to do something about it. WAR, with PQs, Rift, with rifts, and the upcoming GW2, with DEs. Implementation and overall success of the game aside, these are attempting to make questing a more massively multiplayer thing, as opposed to a hold over from single player games.
Honestly though, If people are liking TSW's questing, and it is better than previous game's questing to them, great. It just doesn't meet my obviously narrow interpretation of what is good for MMOs. I like GW2's better, but that isn't really anything other than my opinion, as I like many parts of GW2 more than TSW. I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote. |
