If quests arent going to be a hard requirement for the dungeon then I think it's fair that actually having done the quests gives a serious reward, not something you can just ignore. Something akin to reputation in gwd2 increasing drop rates, that way people dont have to do the quests but people who have get an actual reward for following the story.

Edit: Before you comment "mandatory" or "forced" please look at those definitions in context of what I've suggested. You will almost certainly find you are using them incorrectly.

Having Azzanadra's Quest and City of Senntisten completed will have benefits with the Nodon Front release in the form of your Shadow Pontifex ring.

We could have made it slightly clearer in the BTS/Dev diary and I'll be able to expand upon it on Monday's livestream! (At that point you'll all be exploring the first front anyway) I'll also ensure something is posted here detailing the benefits further as there will be some who can't tune in.

Good luck!!
