    Order Quests sometimes discourage teamwork

    First off loving the game and I think the order questing system is pretty good as often in a lot of games they are the one thing that makes me continue to play long term

    However yesterday I had order Quests to kill 400 and 300 soldiers in dominion PVP.

    The problem with these quests is that when I'm faced with the decision to either help my team at a/c or grind out minions at b I find myself choosing the latter.
    You can actually see who has these quests because they literally almost spend the entire game grinding out minions instead of trying to work as a team.

    It's not a huge issue but it was just something I noticed while playing

    Perhaps tweaking the quest to only count minions killed when the point is not controlled by your team and requiring fewer minions to complete would go a little way to help the issue.

    Well, you don't necessarily have to grind, you simply could play normally.
    Capturing points, defending points, etc.

    I don't think you understand. Obviously, you could play normally, but when you are playing specifically to complete a quest then you would be incentivised to just kill the soldiers. It's an issue with quest design conflicting with the overall objective. The issue is with the incentive but of course you still have a choice.

    Would it make a difference if you could stack quests? If quests are rolling, then it becomes a backdrop of play.

    Additionally, I like how Brawlhalla does their daily missions - you have to play twice as many games if you lose. So in this instance, you have to win and kill 100 minions or lose and kill 200 minions - something like that?

    Just spit-balling here!

    Thats a pretty interesting way to handle that, and im certainly not against it, but that being said, it usually only takes a round or so for that kind of stuff and most people will stick around for a couple of matches, so, maybe you blow the first one, meh.. not sure its a big enough problem to warrant a solution. I say that because to do quests like that, you've got to be wordy about it, and people get confused (angry) easily..
