7 Days to Die puts a bizarre spin on something that should be fairly simple in co-op games run on private servers—quest progression.
You and your friends are limited to completing only a certain number of quests per day, and people are furious to hear it. There’s a simple way to avoid this artificial limit, but not a lot of people are aware of it.
7 Days to Die Has an Odd Limitation
Quest progression limits are by no means a new gaming mechanic. Live-service games like mobile titles or MMORPGs have them to prevent players from progressing to the end game too fast.
Imagine players’ reactions when they heard that a single-player (or private server co-op, if you wish) title like 7 Days to Die incorporated such a mechanic. One furious Redditor had a lot to say about it.

They can continue to do them, but it won’t count toward their quest tier progression. Leveling quest tiers unlocks more traders on the map, giving you access to more items, so it’s a great investment.
OP was annoyed to end up being limited on quest tier progression, claiming the developers, The Fun Pimps, were artificially trying to prolong game time this way.

This limitation also hurts players when they start chain quests and can’t finish them within the day. It’s truly a bizarre decision, but thankfully there’s an easy way to resolve this.
You Don’t Have to Adhere to the Quest Progression Limit
The developers for 7 Days to Die probably knew that people would be upset by the quest tier progression limitations.
Whether someone wants to rush them or take it easy, players should be able to choose, especially when it comes to games like these.

The players who knew didn’t hesitate to mention it to OP. All you have to do is go to the settings and set it to anywhere between 3 and 8, or unlimited if you so choose.
From the developers’ perspective, they might’ve introduced this limit so that people who want to progress slowly and focus more on exploration and other activities can do so.

However, people felt that the default limit of three is “hilariously” low, as it’s easy to blow the tier one quests in a single day.

One reply called the developers the “Fun Police,” possibly referencing other issues players have encountered lately. This limit seems to be widely unpopular with the community, but it’s appreciated that the developers let people turn it off if they’d like.
