Feedback: Dev Diary Crisis Quest

[Gwalben]

700 gems at 51-65, plus 1800 star coins, 93k XP, 1250 omni deposits, 2 glues, a deerstalker hut, and some other resources. Pretty good mix of different kinds of loot.

Resources gathered from colonies should count as acquiring something for a quest. They currently don't.

Okay, now that I have lived this Crisis Event here are my full thoughts.

Eww, the final building reward is different depending on what level you are? No thanks.

Spoiler

The individual quests were not bad, just the normal gripes about things I do not care for. I do not mine gold or make horses so those quests were a turn off. Overall I am happy with the Crisis Event, but my one major problem is the different rewards for different levels.

I have been around for a while and have amassed quite a bit so none of these quests were particularly difficult. On this account I pretty much breezed though everything. However my account on the French server is rather young and more casual at a much lower level. Getting the quest chains done there is more difficult and the rewards are much less. Perhaps I am wrong but a level 30 would have more trouble completing these individual quest lines than a level 60 and the reward? Oh you are a lower level, I know you had to put in a lot more effort so here is a fraction of the reward the higher level player get. Might as well give the level 30 some star coins, it will not ruin anything as they cannot spend them yet. And less gems, I assume because the resources you had to pay were "worth less", but like I said, a level 30 is putting in a lot more effort than a level 60. It seems to be the exact opposite of how you designed the guild quests.

I just think effort required to complete these quests is not reflected by the individual rewards nor the final. I would have had to really push it to complete the Crisis Event on the French server to get a silo which is a "lesser" reward meanwhile just laying back for the most part I did fine here for a "better" reward of the deerstalker. Someone suggested that you be able to chose your building, that might have been nice. Sort of like picking the reward in the event advent calendars in the past. Would give people more incentive if the building reward was not to their liking.

Would have been better if it had started a week earlier. This is Memorial Day weekend. Non computer related things to do.

I liked this crisis event better than the previous two. Star coins and gems were a nice bonus. It perked up guild chat for a couple of days also, tks for that. I found it a little to easy at my level and was done with 4 days to go but it gave me time to help other guild members.

Although I do feel bad for the level 36-50 that end up with granite pit or exotic wood nursery (zonk prize).

Overall, two thumbs up. Don't wait so long before you do it again

I have no prior experience with crisis quests since apparently the last one was in 2012 or early 2013 (before my time); anyway, I actually do like it - even though my schedule does not permit me enough time to start the requisite searches/activities, so I probably won't finish this one in time, it is not because of anyone but me. I like tasks that we have to do mostly on our own, and not completely depend on other higher level players to aid us along.

Though the prize for my level (exotic tree nursery) is far from tempting me to double my efforts or to use gems to complete the task. No complaints in any case. I appreciate the effort of BB in general on this one. Thanks guys and gals.

I just finished Stage 3, which was my realistic goal. I'll be able to get the 4000 cavalry in time. I don't think I'm going to have the time to do the 2 adventures tomorrow though. Nice event nonetheless.

Loot spots fulfill the requirement, you do not have to run them yourself.

[Wimpy]

Are you saying that loot from adventures fills the requirement to "produce" Boy they sure fooled me. Not the first time.

I actually just finished them off. I made it.
