Quests Are Better Now

Heroes of Ascension!

Quests are one of the most fundamental parts of World of Warcraft. You are greeted with them from the moment you enter the game, and as you gain levels--and even into 60 and beyond--their importance never dwindles. They are a source of experience, of gold, of gear, and of immersion. They are, without exaggeration, one of the most important aspects of the game.

We’ve been hard at work with our reinforced team, giving them the treatment they deserve.

Since release, with the help of our newest developers, we’ve been combing through every quest Ascension offers: every script, every spell effect, buff, animation, and dialogue--from Vanilla to Wrath. We’ve striven to perfect each and every quest you encounter in the world to make your adventures as smooth as we possibly can. Our goal in this overhaul is to immerse you properly in the World you love while allowing you to play seamlessly through leveling and beyond.

Here’s what we’ve done:

• Re-scripted an enormous chunk of wonky quests to ensure that they work flawlessly
• Balanced the spawn time for quest unique mobs to ensure no one is ever waiting too long for a mob to appear
• Re-tooled certain quest-specific drops to feel hard won, but not grueling to obtain
• Improved immensely quests that involve interacting with unique items (Emberstrife, anyone?)
• Implemented proper dialogue and scripts for relevant events, such as quests that have NPCs performing actions before unlocking the next quest in the chain

We hope that this overhaul improves your adventures, Heroes. No longer will you be in fear of completing a quest only to be unable to turn it in! Go forth and solve the world’s problems, one Goretusk Liver at a time.
