Generally, I like to pride myself on being a quest completionist in MMORPGs. I don’t like leaving a zone before wrapping up all of its missions, even the piddly ones that are little more than busy work created by third-tier devs. But there’s a limit to how much I can take when it comes to truly terrible areas.
For example, as much as I love Secret World Legends, I could never force myself to appreciate — nevermind enjoy — City of the Sun God. The gritty visuals, the lack of human NPCs, the endless canyons, and that headbangingly frustrating Black Pyramid quest make this a place that I can’t wait to leave. Therefore, I don’t feel bad doing the bare minimum to advance through it and skip ahead to Transylvania.
Which MMO zone offers the worst questing experience for you? Which area do you avoid like the plague or speed through as quickly as possible because of the subpar visuals, the missions, and the lore?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
