They probably should just give up the whole Crisis Quest idea. Not everything works out.
Thankfully they have some updates to look forward to at least.

What a great write up defining the problem(s).
well if you are lvl 46 and above and havn't massed a ton of salt yet then i don't know what you're doing. If you do any adventures and/or loot spots that junk should be in your star by now. If you gave it away or sold it cheap them too bad. What else do you want UBISOFT to do play the game for you too? Just do the quest or don't do the quest giving up 5k salt and 10k e-logs for 250 gems and 250 map frags and coins and other resources is not as bad as you ppl make it out to be. So lets quit complaining and start questing!!!!
I am -very- disappointed in this crisis series. The first subquest alone is ridiculously unbalanced in cost - reward.
I am interested to know how many people actually even bothered with this one. Perhaps the devs need to have someone actually play as a normal player before releasing things that, quite frankly, suck.
my 2 cents.
I understand why level 46+ would be frustrated with this crisis quest.
However, here is why I (a level 40) like this one:
The reason I like the crisis quests at all is because they are a challenge.
Frankly, the Daily Quests and the Guild Quests are BORING, because I know that I will always be able to complete them. The Crisis Quest is difficult enough that there is a real chance I won't complete it - and I like having that challenge. And hey, if I do happen to complete it, I get free gems! (Which are very useful to me, as I don't buy gems.)
I've just looked up the requirements for the level 36-45, and I would say that there is probably only a 50% chance that I will finish the whole thing. But again, that's the reason I like it. If it was too easy, it would just be as boring as all the other quests.
Also, I really the fact that they took out the random element, because there was zero chance I was going to solve Four Winds.
I am level 46 and have never used my salt peter and only have about 4600 saved up, and I adventure all the time. I also absolutely love the challenge of new quests and I completed 4 winds, but honestly there is no way in the world I am going to even consider doing this quest line. Its just not worth my time and effort. I would be giving up too much that I need to upgrade my island and to do that for a mere 250 gems...so not worth it in my mind. I don't have a need for medi-paks since I have plenty of generals and if the salt peter hadn't turned me off to it, the 10k ewls did it. I could have even handled doing SE, cause I like the challenge, but sadly the costs compared to the rewards have me choosing to ignore the quests altogether. I am extremely disappointed, because I was really looking forward to it....
Bull ****! Ill say it! Bull ****!
un effing believable. Your kidding right? You idiots ran these or you just phoned it in? Bull ****!
I am glad someone posted this. FYI, I had a post 2 days ago on this, here is what I wrote then and still believe the same now.
"I saw something about the new Crisis Quest and I truly hope the rewards are much better than the other servers. As one who believes to spend all of these resources for 250 gems is not worth it to me. I do have faith that BB will give us something better then the 250 gems and being a Level 49 (who does not want to be at level 50) it would be nice to have a chance at getting another Silo and watermill for completing the quests. Even at daily normal prices for buying gems, 250 gems is less than $ 5.00, without a sale price. That is just not worth it to me for all of the resources I will expend for it. Please don't have someone remark that you get rewards for completing the individual quest, ok we all know they are never enough to make up for what we spend on them.
For now we all wait and hopefully the other servers were a test and the feedback will show this Crisis Quest (if not amended) is a waste of time and resources.
My 2 cents worth,
Stevie"
not doing the crisis quest, reward isnt worth it, i can get 250 gems just by logging in for some weeks, much easier and costless lol
the icky saltpeter isnt the problem, but ill need those 10k exotic logs for the upcoming science system, but in general the reward is just not worth it
why would i need medipacks, useless, i can wait for my general to recover....by that logic i would prefer to do the lower level bracket quest, much easier and cheaper, and i would get the same 250 gems lol
