“Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.”
J. R. R. Tolkien
Just finished the crisis. A lot better then I thought. Good job! Mostly only had to sacrifice buffs I never use.
Rewards are much better than on previous crisis quests. Kudos on getting that part right.
I was hoping for a lot more variety in the sub-quests. I'm currently on stage 3, and all but the first couple of quests are asking for producing a large amount of one resource. Gets a bit old doing basically the same thing over and over. Why not mix it up a little? Ask for some trades, adventures, production levels, anything to add a little variety.
The previous crisis quests seem to be designed to push my economy to its limit. That's what makes it a crisis. This one fails in that regard. Production quests only test infrastructure, which cannot be upgraded quickly. These quests have little impact on my economy, they just take a long time to complete.
This crisis quest I think was well thought out and designed so that even the players who can't spend every waking moment at their keyboard can still have a chance to complete it. Well done I say, now can we see them happen a bit more often? Thanks very much for this sweet little distraction.
Great mini-event, I really enjoyed it! Hope these happen more frequently in the future. Far better than the occasional 'if you happen to be doing a
'x' search with your explorer, if he happens to find 'y' resource will get double the amount'....
I'm enjoying the quest chain for this new crisis. Thanks!
This was my first Crisis event and I enjoyed it. I went at it harder than necessary because I kept looking for the whammy coming down the line but everything was manageable if you just bother to do a little math and figure out what you need to accomplish the requested production in the amount of time you want and then build that without spending time whining about tearing down buildings, wasted resources, etc.
Thanks for a good event. My wife hates you, BB.
I think the granite pit is a really good building at sub-60, but I could see thinking the reward is useless if you already have one, which a lot of people who didn't already probably bought with guild coins recently, whereas this is my 11th deerstalker hut. Perhaps offering 2 or 3 choices would have been the solution.
I finished with a few days to spare, so I unsurprisingly overkilled on the resource usage on the production quests, but overall the resources spent were well worth it for all the different rewards. None of the rewards were amazing, but it was plenty considering the time and effort required. All of the tasks were reasonably manageable, and it was a nice change of pace to have some new content.
How many gems did you get? Those count towards the "building of your choice" by the way, or some kind of premium, or whatever. Gems are worth pretty much whatever in game resources I have to donate to get them.
Just my thoughts...
