[Feedback] Crisis Quest: The Bandit's Counterattack

[Gwalben]

I might be able to squeak by, but these quests are getting worse and I haven't even reached stage 4 yet. What am I going to do with 100 swordsmen, 200 besiegers, and 200 marksmen?

The crisis has been engaging and I have enjoyed it, though not sure what I will do with so many extra Crossbowman as they seem never to be defeated ;-).

My only concern is that I have one step remaining, acquire 50 granite from very long treasure search, and a bit anxious that won't complete. I am deploying every one who can search as they become available, and a bit unhappy to alter their regular function. I will be upset if I don't get the 50 granite before the crisis ends. However, other than that and the excessive (valued) resources needed, have enjoyed it quite a bit.

I was concerned about the last mission, which for me required getting exotic wood from treasure searches.

One method which I applied... it cost me 30 gems per search to halve the search time. By planning ahead, I was able to schedule plenty of searches. As it turns out I hit the jackpot quite quickly. But for a relatively small number of gems you can get lots more searches done.

Ok - so I will only finish stage 2 and that is working steadily at it. I have never liked how in order to finish anything in these events I must buy supplies from the trade office (like 500 titanium to make the crossbowmen) and build additional workshops to finish your requirements in a reasonable time. Sorry but I feel that your events are just geared to pushing us to towards some goal you deemed we should aim for. I have a life and will not rearrange my life to finish these in your timeframe. so it's official - I will not bother participating in your events anymore, just not worth it and cost to much for you get.

Let me just go on record as saying that completion criteria for ANY event being finding X of anything based on ANY type of search by an explorer is a horrendously BAD IDEA.
You simply CANNOT expect people to work their tails off to complete all the other criteria and then drop the final completion criteria into the hands of fate.

ESPECIALLY by making it contingent on the longest searches.

Obviously you guys didn't think that one through very well.

^this....on the last step now with just enough time for one search even with gems......fingers crossed I guess :/

...or just spend gems to finish that entire quest and don't worry about the searches at all. You get gems back for finishing.

Excellent event, ty. Much needed!

I felt the search quests I got were fair. I think it was 5 long treasure, 3 very long treasure, 1 very long adventure (right at the very end... I deliberately held back my explorers for that just in case). A bit of a waste because those aren't very useful searches except for the adventure one, but I just had to do them, not find anything specific.

update: After reading about the search requirements coming up - looks like I never had a chance. I am NOT a wallet warrior and will not spend a lot of gems to finish these either.
