• (Funny Quiz) What do you think the Auto-Battle will do? Will Post video later.

• Extrinsic Motivation | Matthewmatosis

  I think that's the point. If you didn't know, there is also progress quest http://progressquest.com/ which is literally non-interactive. Still people "play" it. The newest release is from early 2022 ffs. Source: 12 months ago

• Extrinsic Motivation | Matthewmatosis

  Would you say that Progress Quest and World of Warcraft are basically the same game? You still go out and collect loot/gear to level up and fight stronger monsters and get better gear. The only difference is that Progress Quest automates all of it for you. If that difference is insignificant, then I agree with you. Source: 12 months ago

• Sick of all the plot

• Progress Knight App

  Yes. IIRC it was just a copy of 2.0 at first with the full automation, then later the name was changed to "Quest" when people pointed out that it was more like Progress Quest. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is the game really full of repetitive grind or am I doing something wrong?

  Someone made a game without grind. Everything is automated. Your computer plays for you while you're AFK or working on your computer, sorts through the loot it collects, keeps the best stuff and sells the rest, and keeps you updated on its status. You don't have to do anything. You can just watch while it plays. Or let it play and check in on it from time to time. Source: about 1 year ago

• Come up with the most ridiculous video games possible

  Progress Quest: the game that plays itself... No wait. Source: about 1 year ago

• What is the most ridiculous game that you played far too much of?

  Progress Quest. It just levels your character up over time, you don't interact with it, the game literally plays itself in the background. In my defense, I was using a Windows 2000 workstation at the time and I wanted to see just how long I could keep a consistent uptime. I think my record was 1 year, 122 days if I'm remembering right.

• Discussion Thread

  Obligatory plug for Progress Quest for people who like watching the numbers go up. Source: about 1 year ago

• Did they ever fix lock-picking?

  RPGs typically also require a level of player skill, if you're after a game that plays itself then you want something like Progress Quest. Source: about 1 year ago

• I am losing my mind

  Oh man, have you ever played ProgressQuest!?!? If you abstract a bit of the roleplaying, you’ll have an IRL version! Source: about 1 year ago

• Any games you could suggest for a beginner?

  Progress quest. http://progressquest.com/ it has a great community and is still ongoing with multiple servers. Source: over 1 year ago

• Unless they change this, you need to research and purchase FIVE (5) Rank VII planes just to unlock Rank VIII. In most trees, this requires you to research and purchase every single line: about 1,850,000 RP and 5,040,000 SL worth of Rank VII vehicles.

  Or, if you truly do enjoy pure progress for its own sake as your main focus, this is a way better game for you than War Thunder as well: http://progressquest.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
