The way the missions have dwindled in number and quality over the course of the DLC is a bit sad, Medved Taiga and Vurhonga Savanna both had amazing mission chains, but many of the newer DLCs don't even have side missions and have very short main mission chains. I don't care if the missions are super involved and complex, but the fact that places like Revontuli Coast just have a guided tour and a checklist of the local animals is a bit depressing after some of the earlier maps having such strong mission chains. Just go back and give us some more objectives on the old maps, some cool pictures to take, some specific hunting challenges issued by some colorful locals, just SOMETHING.

I confirm, the maps have become sad and tasteless. even the last map Emerald Coast, even if there are some complicated ones in the end we finish them quickly and above all they sell us a unique animal map which does not arrive (same on Mississippi Acres) we all like looking for moose on Te Awaroa, the albino diamond bear on Medved Taiga, etc... it is sorely missed and we would therefore want to say "it was better before"

Mississippi wasn’t that bad,it never said it was going to give a free,unique animal,just history and busting illegal schemes.

It's not even the lack of a free rare, it's the lack of direction and objectives, Mississippi is a perfect example with NO side missions whatsoever. Let me illustrate the issue.

As we can see, the amount of missions drops over time until they fall SIGNIFICANTLY around the time of the Silver Ridge Peaks DLC, with more than half of the maps from that point having NO side missions, and none of them even approaching the mission totals of previous maps. I get that most people after a certain point are just hunting random animals, but the lack of objectives and challenges makes the newer maps feel a bit flat.

90% of the side missions were never fun.

This is an opinion, one I do not share, I enjoy the challenge and the pay off of completing the objectives. People who don't like the missions can ignore them, but for those of us who DO enjoy them, the complete lack of them in later DLC feels like a bit of a slap in the face after shelling out the money for a new map

Parque,Vurhonga,and emerald coast were probably the only times I’ve had fun doing side missions,the rest were completely reliant on luck.

This entire game has some heavily luck dependent elements, just ask people who spend all day grinding for diamonds and great ones. If you want to really nitpick you could argue that the entire game is heavily luck based

Okay, fair, I've brought this up in some other forums and people seemed dismissive of it, saying they just hunt game and don't care about missions, so I suppose I was a bit defensive

although i am a player that enjoys the missions, i know that not everyone enjoys doing them, so i would say that they have been put on the backburner and they are concentrating on other parts of the game( in my opinion i defo would like a full rework of the missions) but i can understand the devs concentrating on what the majority want, if more people played the missions then i would say they would do more with it, but again this is just my opinion

The problem is that people who don't like missions complain that there are too many but if you don't want to do them you don't have to. So instead of depriving people of secondary missions, even if there may be many for the happiness of some, they would be better off putting a system in place to be able to hide or deactivate them and let mission lovers have something that suits them makes you want to play

I side with this, especially since we could also get new missions accommodating the backfilled older species and new species added to previous maps.
