Quests added to mob tooltips on the PTR
by youkos
The Godmother over at ALT:ernative ducked into the PTR recently, and noticed something new: Blizzard is apparently testing adding Questhelper-style notes to tooltips of the quest-related mobs wow gold you come across. This looks so familiar that I thought it was an addon, but no, apparently Blizzard really is planning to tell you when a mob you're looking at happens to be the target of a replica watches quest.
It shocked me for a second -- not only is this dumbing down the questing game even further (maybe someday we will have a large red arrow pointing out a quest target from zones away), but it seems to be an awfully big break in immersion. Blizzard is basically telling you that "this is the mob you need, right here," and actually reading the quest text becomes even less necessary.


But then I realized that tooltips themselves aren't exactly paragons of game immersion -- it's cheapest ffxiv gil already a little jump in the reality of the Cheap necklace game to see a box with a mob's name and level whenever you mouse over it. And as for the "dumbing down" of the game, most experienced players already had this functionality through addons like Questhelper and MonkeyQuest anyway (and if you do plan to complain wow items that this makes things way too easy, make sure Questhelper is out of your Addon directory before you start typing). Tooltips are already where the UI meets the road, so to speak. But if the tips buy wow gold stay in the game when the patch goes live, questing will be that much easier for people who stick to the basic UI.
