I think the "rip-off" is rather harsh. But I also think the wording on what was happening with the 10 adventures could have been a little clearer too. Yes, I dropped 20 gold on purchases, but the dev's seem to realize there were some gaffs in the implementation and I'll get my coins back next cycle. As this is my first event in this game, its all live and learn to me. I do wish I had seen about the hour or so after completing each stage, but now that I know that I have 200 eggs and I am a happer camper.
Well Mary it's a good thing you have until May 3 to get what you lost and I'm sorry this happen to you buddyOriginally Posted by mary22
no offense mary, but a trade of 200 horses for 200 eggs is a rip off period and you kinda get what you pay for trying to scam somebody like that, sorry they got you but shouldn't have tried to get them first
game is quickly becoming unfun or even enjoyable. Waste time and money for zip. No help or questions answered withour wiseassed comments by kids with mommy's credit card. out
We will agree that this could have been more clear. The language is misleading to evidently quite a few, and has caused some to lose gold coins...
Ya I'm out 90 gold myself I bought the rest of the quests after I finished the first one but did not know that there was more coming every hour, after I bought the 9 others I was told that the rest of the quests would be coming in every hour so I waited and play those ones as they came in every hour after I completed each one, I still have the ones I bought in my star menu and I hope I can get my 90 Gold Coins back...
Thanks for all The new quests...
These adventures are completely lame. There is no way to get the "General" or explorer, unless you have a bunch of explorers. I'm 910 eggs away. With no other means to get eggs (trade for ripped off amount (seriouly 400 granite for 50 eggs, ony would take 7200 granite and still be short 10 eggs). I must really be missing the point at setting the "general" at such a high level that you can't achieve it through quests/adventure. I've not done an adventure for a few days (rebuilding army and area), so are those giving eggs (I figure probably not). So it comes down to having tons of gems from playing, or spending real money to get gems to get eggs. Very disappointing that there is no method to "earn" the general instead of "buying" him with hard currency (most feasible method for the majority of newer players.)
Trade, trade, trade. That's the biggest dynamic in the game. It takes some hard work and persistent market watching to get that general, but why should he be easy to get? And with the deadline being May 3rd, you could make personal goals of 100 eggs a day and get him. One of the easiest ways is simply make an offer to buy a product low (like hwp or marble) and then sell it for a greater exchange rate of gc per egg. Heck you could buy them with eggs and sell them for a greater amount of eggs. There's lots of opportunity there and it's very doable. Just takes some time and effort.
Like all thing in life there are constraints. A big one being having a life other than executing trades all day long to get 900 eggs. My complaint on the system is that buying the general is the only course of action that offers 100% success. The trading method is very time consuming and have questionable probability of success (at 1 egg for 400 hardwood I have to have 360000 hardwood boards to get 900 eggs, not feasible at my current build/production level, and the 60 eggs for 400 granite would be 7200, which I'm way short of and still would be 100 eggs shy, neither do I have the tens of thousands of coins necessary to procure the general). Of course you're correct I could offer 1 egg for 10 hardwood, but supply and demand show that I will in all likelihood not receive enough traders. However, had an adventuring method been devise where we could have run adventures to get the necessary eggs (realisitc amounts not 30) then there is a chance. You may not succeed (no thrill in a game if there is no "effort" required to win). The adventures would provide a "boost" to where you might only need 50 - 100 eggs to get to your goal. Some people are always going to "buy" what they need (after all many people spend real money to get better equipment in MMORPG games). I would just like to see more options for those that want to do the adventuring to get them.
