One quest and I'm maxed in my faction?
No, that was pretty much it.
Yup. The personal story does leave a little to be desired but you did get promoted through the ranks of the Sunspears pretty fast in Nightfall too. If you came from anywhere other than Elona it was a case of “oh you’re not from here well then I guess you’re a commander now so here’s a stabby thing, come on and invade Gandara”.
I would have loved it to have been much more drawn out too.
" After years of EQ2 and faction grinding, I expected…..a bit more. "
I’d say the two games represent the extremes; one is a horrendous grind, the other is a meaningless gift. But yeah, I definitely felt a far greater sense of accomplishment when I earned my Knight-Captain and Wanderer titles. For this game I would have been happy with something in between grind and gift.
Agreed, I wasn’t expecting eq2 style faction runs, though something else would ahve been nice. I wan’ted to really feel my faction choice. I can’t afford their gear, so I’m a shabby represenative of their faction at this point
