The Mission Table and the next expansion (Patreon)

The mission table has been a core part of World of Warcraft gameplay for two expansions now, and I’m curious: Do you want it to be in the next expansion, too? I’d be surprised if it wasn’t part of the next expansion, but that isn’t the question. Do you want the next expansion to have a mission table?

Personally, I do. I enjoy the mission table. I like the management elements it brings to the game, and if anything, I’d love to see a little more complexity and interactivity with that management. I enjoyed the Warlords of Draenor iteration of the mission table more than the Legion version for that reason — a deeper pool of potential recruits and perks meant a higher possibility of customization and specialization. If two different people had two different goals in the game, their mission table rosters probably didn’t look similar at all. In a game without much customization, that was pretty cool.

The mission table also provides a way to play even if you don’t have much time to log in on any given day. If all you have is five minutes free during a particularly hectic week, that’s okay: you can log in (or use the mobile app) and feel like you’ve accomplished something.

I absolutely hope the next expansion includes its own take on the mission table. And if it isn’t included, I might even be a little heartbroken. What about you? Do you want a mission table, or would you prefer to never, ever see one again?
