The world of interactive video games has witnessed a meteoric rise in popularity with Fortnite, and it’s not just about the gameplay; it’s also about the quests. Optimal_Hedgehog_50 has expressed his frustration with Match Quest, a feature that’s garnered mixed reactions from the gaming community.
Summary
- The change from Daily Quest to Match Quest was met with resistance as it was felt to extend playtime unnecessarily.
- However, some players appreciated the larger XP reward offered by Match Quest.
- Others found ways of maximising their levels without spending too much time or effort.
The Frustrations
Players like StarmieLover966 and yetebekohayu blamed the change for interrupting their regular routine of completing three quests and logging off. They felt the updated system was specifically designed to keep them playing for longer periods, a fact that they didn’t appreciate given their tight schedules and love for the game’s efficiency. The shared nature of the previous Daily Quests made the old system interactive and fun.
Some Positives
Despite vocal frustrations, there were players highlighting the upsides of the change. For DieselFloss, Match Quest was more rewarding – its grand XP bonus almost levelled you up each day, which was a compelling argument for its existence.
Workarounds and Neutral Stances
Players like Vladmerius and zacman17716 were less concerned about the change. Zacman17716 went as far as offering a solution – opportunities to gain levels by playing alternative modes for a few hours a day. This seemed to be a satisfying solution for those just looking to max out their levels without the rigmarole of quests.
Whether Epic Games was successful in keeping players hooked longer with the Match Quest system or just frustrated a significant portion of their consumer base is still debatable. The change surely reshaped player dynamics and game routines, inspiring a variety of coping mechanisms and leveling techniques among players. Culture, after all, is a dynamic, ever-changing entity, and in gaming, no less so.
