hunt the dragons - feedback
I didn’t even bother looking them up on Dulfy since you can get the wings from doing the dailies. I wandered around Frostgorge for like an hour and couldn’t find more than one so I figured I’d stop wasting time. This isn’t even a scavenger hunt, this is a ‘wander around until you randomly find the 10 things you’re looking for’ hunt.
I also like to add that looking at statistics to find out if this hunt was successful could be a big mistake. Players do all kinds of stuff for achievements and a specific reward. That doesn’t mean that they enjoyed the way.
I agree on all of your points. The comparisons you made with past examples were spot on too. I like open world exploring, I like LW side activities, I like scavenger hunts, but this one really only felt rushed and unfinished, only worsening the issue of achievements turning into fetch quest list minus flavor. I also agree on the point that it might work if it were not temporary, but alas, it is.
Another thing I did not like about it is how little guide or instruction you start with. You get a mail telling you to go to splintered coast, but that’s about it. If you paid attention to the mail, you might talk to Narru, and if you paid attention to update notes, you might talk to Rox, but they both are not particularly helpful when it comes to explaining the new ‘activity’. They could have marked the first tooth on the map to get people started, and Rox could have told you there might be more, scattered all over the zone. Right now there are so many confused people on map chat, and who knows how many more that aren’t so talkative.
