Here we go again.... a slap in the face to the lvl 50 players..... Now we're supposed to waste time and troops doing these new "adventures" for the quests to get balloons.... and we get nothing else??? NO LOOT? C'mon guys.... even a little loot would be nice.... the experience is of absolutely no use to the many many lvl 50 players. :mad:
Not lvl 50 but ya some loot for that type of troop loss is needed or A lot more balloons given then 10. We could turn that many bronze swords into 1000's of balloons.
If you take a closer look at the post for this event from the Dev Diary here http://forum.thesettlersonline.net/t...iversary-Event , you'll see that there's some really nice rewards for all our hard work.
I'd be glad to get a silo from you if you don't care for those gems.
But I can make tons and tons of balloons in my PH without wasting my time and troops on the adventures.....2 million brew makes a LOT of balloons.....lol Certainly way more than the 10 I make for the adventure quest.....not to mention the balloons that could be made from the resources used to make the troops lost in the adv.....
A lot of the stuff they throw at us I do just for the heck of it usually or just to experience something new. Like that crisis quest thing. I certainly didn't do that one because it gave me more rewards than what I lost from it. Just wish after doing events like that, we'd get some sort of cool (but small) item to place on our islands.
I have no room on my island for anything....lol.... but some real adventures, with good loot drops would be nice.... getting sick of doing the same ones all the time..... but can't see using up so many resources just to get a mere 10 balloons.....waste not want not, and all that.....
I don't think the Event Quests are worth it for Level 50's either. The Daily ones (100 Balloons & No Troops so far), sure, but I'm not doing the Event Quests. I can use the resources I would use building troops for them to convert into more balloons than the Quests are worth, in less time then it would take to run the adventure.
well as lvl 50s WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO???
The rewards will be server-wide and are outlined in yesterday's Dev Diary post. If you would like to suggest ways in which BB can improve these kinds of events in the future, please leave some constructive suggestions in that thread. I will be collecting feedback from that thread to forward to Blue Byte.
some kind of loot reward. The balloons are donated our server moves up the ladder, and its basically just something to do. Some kind of loot is all is requested. Celebrating a game is fun yes, but so far its just get balloons, give them away, and most of us higher level peeps have invested some funds into the game.
I just wish the adventure I am about to partake in that I will lose over 1000 recruits on gave me a chancce at normal loot, like granite and coins. :/ I cant get anything from exp, and, 10 balloons to lose about 1000 recruits is just nuts.
This is exactly my point Shelley! Think about it..... 1K R = 25K bread, 10K bronze swords, and 5K brew, not to mention the time it takes to queue them up at 25 per block and for them to be "produced"..... even at today's low prices on the server that's a LOT of resources for 10 balloons! And it kills me that they are giving out all this XP for the under lvl 50 players, but nothing was put in there for those of us who have made it to 50. Even if it was say the possible loot drops of DP or IOP or something on that level, while low for the losses, would be SOMETHING!
And now they're saying that the balloons we had in our PHs or have received from quests since they decided we had "qualified" are not going to count for anything? I have thousands sitting in my star menu that had been resources I put in in good faith as I was still doing my part in our struggle to "qualify" even though we were at only about 6%.... only to come back on next morning and find that they had changed the numbers and we were already qualified.....so now all those resources are completely wasted? Not to mention that a friend of mine was going camping for the weekend so filled up his PH with 2 days worth of balloon production figuring when he got home he'd drop them all into the donation.....so now 2 days of balloon production worth of resources are gone?
BB moves in mysterous ways.
I think their plan to get ppl's minds of PvP is working!
I think she asked for constructive suggestions for level 50s... so construct some suggestions!
Possible ideas:
New quests with epic buildings only accessible for level 50
Quests that require large number of advanced troops (soldiers, cannons) but also have a great reward in granite/exotic wood
A quest where I land on one end, you on the other.
We face identical threats.
The better we plan the more of the treasures are collected.
ooh, make the adventure a competition? first one to the middle/main bldg gets a bonus! that would be coolQuote:

It is just fodder to keep peoples attention. Perhaps, being able to stack the star menu so you do not need to click on it 8,000 times to collect all of your balloons. Perhaps being able to queue up larger amounts, of troops and event items. I have watched people literally spending hours clicking thier PH and then thier star menu. And the rewards are "retro" items from previous games? While that is nifty and all. It is absolutely NOT what the community in general is asking for. Instead of Designing "new" quests just to reward gems and retro items. Why are we not getting new content. IDK about anyone else. But with the "promise" of the new science system and fairy tale adventures and everything else. I most certainly am not going to blow all of my resources for a few hundred gems. A great person once said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result". Well, look at everything we keep getting handed to us. End of the world, Crisis quests, 4 crossbows as daily log in rewards.
I have made some balloons and donated them, but then my fingers got tired and i got bored. Good luck to those who wish to continue being lemmings. I for one shall not. I like many others have spent money to support settlers online. In good faith that what we were being told would happen, and that the game would continue to be fun. However, as each day,week,month passes. It just becomes more and more and more like a part time job then fun.
xp converts to star coins in august. including the ones u got over 50Quote:

Not to mention that XP is accruing for level 50 players even if you don't see it.
and that XP all you Level 50 Players is going to be converted to something called a Star Coin, that you will be able to spend in Chest I believe. Please don't take this as matter of fact, there are still two weeks left of drastic stuff going on.
I can say this, I've been so bogged down testing for this game the last 3 weeks, that this past week has been like having a RL job. The expectations have been so great on our shoulders in the guild I run, some of us are just really wiped out. It has been so much fun though.
LoL, the two small celebration adventures are just that, I don't no where the maker of this thread was given the idea they were for level 50 players.
Shall I give you all a sneak preview! Or how bout this Gdoc, I will let you have a look but will pull it down in 12 hours, Becuz its a prototype and
the contents are not confirmed...

from the adventures i did on the test server it was 100 XP = 1 star coin. i think it will be like the gems for leveling we got not that long ago everyone gets about the same unless you still have the loot mailsQuote:

however, to help future server vs server events
Dont have them,
