    Bandit Nightmare Adjustment

    I would like to support Ron Empire's opinion that the experience reward for BAndit Nightmare be allowed to become Star Coins for Level 50 players. The fact that the Bandit Nightmare Quest gets activated at Level 48 which for many of us was the EXACT SAME TIME that the TAILOR ADVENTURES were released for Level 48-50 players (cannons) has caused many of us to be looking at a MAIN QUEST with no meaning (surely NOT the intention of TSO).

    It was a question of timing and TSO has some shared responsibility for this. The introduction of the Tailor adventures was intentional to attract the efforts of players Level 48-50. Many of us postponed the many repetitions of the Epic Adventures to receive the random distribution of gold coins, in order to learn first hand about the Tailor system. Details about the Star coin conversion information was trailing in the timing of all this. Tailor adventures caused many of us to quickly reach Level 50 only to find as a result that we had rendered the quest worthless. (Surely not your intention BB?).

    Yes, perhaps we should have figured this out on our own, but a legal expert might say TSO created "an attractive nuisance" in the form of the Tailor adventures, and as such bear some responsibility in this. (Some have said we should have just tagged on a bunch of loot spots but frankly I do not buy and sell loot spots, as a facet of the game - that is NOT truly regulated by TSO,nor should be.)

    I suspect that the code to convert experience in quests to star coins is more complicated than we might wish; thus I am hoping for a simpler "fix" that could be very narrow and simply correct the reward for this Quest.

    Cheers! Domes

    To me this lack of consideration is a slap in the face of lvl 50 players. I have only 250 coins needed to complete the Bandit Nightmare quest, and not get 24,800 XP worth of star coins. Like Domesday I started collecting coins for this quest at lvl 48 or 49.

    In addition, why in heck do I continue to get quests with XP rewards when I can't get XP or Star Coins. Sometimes I feel that nobody is paying attention to what is going on.
    If something can go wrong, it will.

    Besides bandit nightmare, many other small quests and such that we have lost out on.
    More of the same "new" content with a different bow? I will give more of the "same" towards my gem accumulation.

    Would someone explain the difference between getting star coins for XP from adventures, and getting nothing for XP from quests. Tell me why that makes sense.

    Thanks.

    You guys have to go here to post your opinions to get them to look into it:
    http://forum.tsotesting.com/threads/...ndit-nightmare


    I recommend our Community Manager here also bring up the issue with the developers.

    The MAIN ISSUE is Quest XP (after level 50) needs to convert to star coins.

    I feel its considered a bug. There are lots of players who have (and will) reach 50 and have old quests in their quest book that gives XP. These quests need to give star coins.

    This issue also affects the explorer skill Sophisticated Pillagers. It gives extra quest XP for completing certain quests.

    ALSO- this issue affects Lost Skull and Tropical Island, where if you do those quests, it gives XP along the way.

    You should ask BB_Slash on the test server that. :-)

    Your post wimpy saying its not a bug is not going to help. They wont consider fixing it or addressing or improving the game if its not a bug. It's a design flaw. But should still be handled like a BUG.
