Crisis Quest Feedback

[RomanGodCamper]

OK so I started to do this quest, even thou I knew the rewards are NOT that great. So now I am at the Call to Battle point. Buying 10,000 resources wasn't bad, but the Complete 2 experience adventures suck. I just did a adventure, got experience and it did NOT count. Quest says to get EXP, doesn't say to do this one or that. Guess I am done once again with your quests.

No, The Quest says to do a "Experience Adventure" Which means a adventure that gives a lot of experience

Tutorial Adventure

Bounty Hunter


Resource Advenutres

Island of the pirates
Outlaws
Victor The Vicious
Bandit Nest
Wild Mary

Experience Adventures

HorseBack
Dark Priest
Witch of the swamp
Stealing from the Rich
Traitors
The Nords
Gunpowder
Sons of the Veld
Surprise Attack

Epic Adventures

Secluded Experiements
The Black Knights
The Dark Brotherhood
Roaring Bull

Follow-up Adventures

Old Friends
Motherly Love

Event Adventure

The End Of the World
Save the Christmas Feast

You can even tell on what the adventures are if you read the Details! If you don't that is your fault. I will give you a Example. If you look at the 2 pictures below you can see its a picture of Island of the Pirates and Witch of the Swamp. Now if you look in the bottom box. You can see where it says "Resource adventure" for island of the pirates and "Experience Adventure" for Witch of the swamp.

Zargonn. It doesn't say get EXP. It says specifically: Complete two Experience Adventures. There are four types of adventures out there at this type and they are as of follows:

Experience Adventure (The Dark Priests, Horseback, Witch of the Swamp, Traitors, Stealing from the Rich, The Nords, Sons of the Veld, Gunpowder, Suprise Attack)
Resource Adventure (Island of the Pirates, Outlaws, Victor the Vicious)
Epic Adventure (The Black Knights, The Dark Brotherhood, Secluded Experiments, Roaring Bull)
Follow-up Adventures (Old Friends & Motherly Love)

This is the link to find out what type of adventure is under what category. This may be outdated/old since it was posted back in November 2012.

Or just read what RGC said. Same thing.

I didn't really approach this from a cost - benefit perspective
but a couple comments on someone who did:

Quest 1: Make 150 Baskets, Donate 5000 Saltpeter, Earn 400 Exotic Wood Planks
Making the baskets is around a full day, but is a 'push' - you can sell or use the baskets and the 'production cost' is worked into the price.

5000 saltpeter = 2500 gold. (or so).
400 exotic wood planks, 100 gold or so.

So this quest is:
"Tie up your provision house for a full day (Half a day if you rabbit for another 300 gold!), and pay a net of 2400 gold!" (More if you have to buy the saltpeter after-the-fact because the price will be going -up- temporarily.)

Quest 2: Find 30 Granite, Trade 20,000, Earn 150 coin.
"Find" is a (time consuming) push. "Trade" is a (time consuming) push.
So this quest is:
"Time passes, earn 150 gold."

Quest 3: Produce 500 Sausage, Buff 200 Friends Buildings, Earn 150 Map Fragments.
"Produce" is time consuming, and -requires- specific buildings.
"Buff" is time consuming (at 200!), and costs 4+ per basket. So 800.
Earn 150 mp = 750 gold.

So this quest is:
"Build specific buildings, time passes, and pay 50gp."

quest 3 use the baskets you produced in 1 and swap 200 with a friend
break even on the baskets? earn 750 gc of mf
map fragments as one of the 4 winds rewards would have helped with the bandit nest bottleneck

Quest 4: Complete Epic Adventure, Purchase 20,000, Earn 300 Titanium Ore.
The Epic adventures are ok, but 100gp reward is pathetic.

do with 2 other people or buy an ls
at my level was even better - do 2 exp adv
did 1 adv - tagged a friends - 2 ls + 100 gc reasonable reward for doing 1 adv

Quest 5: Produce 50 Damascene Blades, Buff 200, Earn 100 coin, 1000 brew.
Produce quests require specific buildings. Rant on that later, but this is
"Earn negative 150 gold."

Quest 6: Employ 250 Cav, Pay 10,000 Exotic Wood Logs, Earn 100 coin and 100 map fragments.
"Pay 2500 gold for 600 gold."

Quest 7: Complete Secluded Experiments, Produce 2000 Sausage, Earn 400 Granite.
Complete -and- Produce lots. Ouch.
The rewards for Secluded Experiments are wildly out of line with the time, effort, and -minimum- resources to get through it. I wouldn't run it myself for less than 3000 granite as a standalone quest.
2000 is a fair number of sausage…
"Pay 3 days and a whole lot of troops to get to the next level."

not real keen on se (or in my case sov) but at least it is:
multi-player
and lots of them around
I had to stop 4 winds when it became impossible to get any more bandits nests
so whether people are happy about it or not at least they addressed the problem in some way

Quest 8: Produce 300 Exotic Wood Planks, Save up any adventure,
Time passes.

Quest 9: Complete 5 adventures, pay 5000 steel, Earn 700 Granite
Time passes, earn around 300 gold.

again doing 5 3 player adv could be quite profitable

for all my comments at your level I would have quit at the donate 10k ewl
8k marble from 40k is one thing all 10k of my ewl would be something else

another thing
rewards for end of the world were not good either
lots of people still did it for the competition
so if the rewards are not going to be great give us some other reason to do it
an untradable reward even if it was functionally the same as an existing item would be a nice idea

and I think the med-paks are pretty much useless to anyone with more than 2 generals

task 8 states produce 230 settlers. I tried the provision house and it didnt count so I take it they must be produced from the mayors house? At any rate i really should not have dont the crisis quests. Not worth it. i'm level 44

[Robbydaussie]

Not impressed!!! This task is to do sons of the veld which needs xbows and next to impossible to do. The cost is way more than the 500 sausages offered. Why make it so hard that nobody even completes. I love quests but They need to be more doable!! I quit!!

[USillyRabbit]

Who comes up with these quest chains? It is very apparent their only playing time is on the test server with uber everything, this is stupid.

This game needs some basic things and it would be amazing right now it is average at best (30 year gamer here Zork anyone?)
The science chain is a nice step take it one level more ... Let your generals accumulate experience points and get some basic skill trees with base stats and maybe a name instead of hey stupid attack ...

How about some form of easy PVP that we have been waiting 2 years for (just as easy to create as these events). It feels like they have a group of devs that bounce around on projects (since they have like 40 games) and only the Head stays with the project creating an obvious lack of creativity and energy after the game launches ...

[Wimpy]

Zork (text) was my first.

[DepositKing]

the over supply of exotic logs will be needed by players in few weeks when science buildings come out so to make a quest requiring players to pay there ewl at this point of the game is just stupid.
just another idiotic waste of time and effort by the dev's instead of putting more effort into getting pvp and lvl cap rise aswell and BETTER adventures not jokes like lost skulls and tropical suns into the game

[CrazyOol]

Zork was my second after the Original Adventure (Colossal Cave.) That was a looooong time ago.
