I would love to hear all of your guys opinion on HQM being in most 1st Party Modpacks. I think this will force everypack to have a well constructed lore. In my opinion I think very big packs should continue to be mod sauce packs. On the other hand Lite is a small pack and a quest line would be nice. Feel free to agree, disagree, or add-on what I just stated.

I don't really like the idea of HQM in normal packs. It's fun for packs like Agrarian Skies, Running Red, Crash Landing, and Tutorial packs like @CarbonBasedGhost's Gregtech pack. It's kind of a waste to put it in normal modpacks that just don't need it.
That breaks down a feeling of continuity between the mods, that this is one world with several aspects rather than a world made by mashing bits and pieces of other worlds together.
I think of it as a guide then a recource. It helps guide the player into a part of the pack.
I think HQM would work pretty well for an actual FTB map, difference being you shove the machines into a book instead of a sorting system.
I mean, FTB originated from the FTB map, I'm surprised no-one thought of this sooner.

Yeah, but in this instance we're referring to a feature that takes time to set up and pushes back releases and updates for the pack.
And? They work at their own pace and have even formed a sub team to make sure it doesn't delay them.
Things already get delayed for a many different reason. HQM only adds something else that can cause a delay. Having delays from personal stuff or bugs with specific mods and such is fine, but having delays because of an unneeded feature is a bit pointless.
I'd much rather see someone doing a bunch of extra modtweaker/minetweaker work and make the packs more in depth than add an unneeded feature.
I will not say HQM does not fit with survival packs, but I am yet to see HQM integrated into a survival pack in a way that is fun, effective, and useful. I imagine the perfect integration making a psudo-mod that's usefulness is achieved via HQM. Like a magic mod using Dmiller's items mod and Tabula Rossa to add items and the spells are done in HQM. (@Queue we need to take not of this)
Of course what I said isn't the only way to integrate HQM into a survival pack. If it was obvious someone would have do it by now.
(By survival I do not mean packs like AgSkies and Running Red or tutorial packs)
I also like how HQM limits what the player has which is nice. When you can control game play you can better improve the pack.
I personally don't care if HQM is in mainstream packs or not, as long as I'm not forced to do the "quests." I dislike the mod, as I dislike hand-holding. I play minecraft because I enjoy tinkering and figuring things out, not being told what to do. No, Peppy, I will not do a barrel roll. and it's not a gd barrel roll! it's an aileron roll, stupid rabbit.
For my pack HQM is there to set goals for the player and then give them decent rewards. I don't hand hold at all.
Yep understand, but why do people like adventure maps then. It is a game designed for freedom and to make other games out of it.
