what ever happened to being concerned about QOL and engaging content. This latest journey quest was the worst! There is no node with more than two smugglers. So I got to do the same boring battle 25 times! Are you trying to make people quit?
Players aren't a concern anymore, only money. Gamers don't run CG anymore, EA's AI-bots run CG.
These new events seem to be procedurally generated, same as DCs, same as store packs. It's all turning into soulless garbage in which the priority is only how much players are spending. Prior to the coliseum being started to rob players of the ability to know if a character is trash or not, we had challenges that seemed to be procedurally generated. Someone decided that letting AI do stuff was a good idea.
And yes, we're getting some small QOL updates, but we still have some major bugs that have been negatively impacting players for years. The "sim" button on marquee battles is cool, BUT if you sim you don't get credit for the character achievements. So you can miss out on resources if you use it, which is kinda lame.
If completing the quest required skill, I would agree with you. Repetitive nonsense is trash, no creative input from the game developers.
Although I can somewhat agree with the concept, to a point: "Is CG concerned with QoL anymore?"
However, picking on these Journey Quests is extremely harsh, in my opinion. Yes, this last batch was a little monotonous and very grindy, but almost everybody looks forward to these. Many of us (OK me), are enjoying visiting the Journey Guide to find ways to complete these feats.
I think it's one of the more fun PvE things CG has done! Different horses for different courses, I guess!
