[Feedback] Crisis Quest: The Bandit's Counterattack

[ClassyGeek]

I think the argument is maybe better rewards per stage or at least some indication of a reasonable time frame to expect to complete. I didn't really keep track of what it cost me, so I can't say whether the earlier costs were all that much, though most of what I invested into it was for resource production of stuff I will use eventually at the expense of some buffs.

AGREED, my point exactly! They need to realize that we all would love to play but this game is not at the top of my RL to do list. It is not too much to ask for to A) not be asked to do a bunch of pointless upgrades or commitments to expensive troops; B) Have a reasonable idea of what the time commitment is so we can decide if it is worth pursuing; C) If we earn the reward before it ends - WE GET THE AWARD REGARDLESS OF WHEN WE PICK IT UP!!!

So in other words, they need to design these quests so everyone can do them no matter how late they start or how much time they have to play. Hmm not much of a "crisis" if you know going in you are getting the prizes. With that line of reasoning, might better just send to everyone as a gift up front(what fun that would be for all) and save themselves the aggravation. I thought it was fun and well balanced for all levels.

Humph, crisis my a** all it was was another forced advancement down the road that BB thinks we should be heading. I don't think asking for them to realize that we all would love to play but this game is not at the top of my RL to do list.

I have a life, sorry you don't.

This goes back to the request of quests auto-completing when the necessary resources have been gathered, which I agree with, but I don't think the game keeps constant track of what you are earning but rather does the math when you login. Should it be able to check and say yes, you did earn that by 4AM? That seems simple enough.

so when i said it was a scam i wasnt the only one.
yeah they forced me to recruit troops i couldn house like 5 times!
doing an long treasure search when you have 8 hours left.
getting up resource production /new buildings whne you have no lisences so you can get the 12 hour mark on the resources you need. when you never actually need to use them that much

also there are 2 more clear indicators its a scam
first i accidently logged into another world. when i did the quest popped up for it and said you need to be level 16 to do the next quest?
why put that there when you cant even do anything untill then?

and the happy hour the day before the quest would end

come on, guys, they had to add some difficult quests, if the quests were all to pay stuff or double trade then we would be finish it in a few hours and we would start complaining again about the lack of things to do...

in my opinion this crisis quest was a very nice surprise, good reward overall.

and btw i am still killing the extra troops i had to make for it... i guess i'm kinda used with that kind of quests because of pathfinder... almost every week we get quests to train elite and/or regular troops...

Yeah about that - I play this as a city building game and do as little fighting as I can, I do not like to play war - so those extra troops are a total waste for me.

[dark_mobius]

get us to train troops 5x even when my population cant hold it up
let us build allot of resources for said troops which dont die allot of times since you have good tactics
(maybe use the gems you got directy to use in the same questas well because of that)
and then send explorers to maybe or maybe not find the resource on first try, because they dont have to find the specific treasures in all even after doing it a few times
have to buy/upgrad buildings that take a few times to produce the resources in the 12 hour term

that looks about right..

Overall a very good Crisis Event; had quests that required resources and time, very nice. I share the complaint on unnecessary troops building of top-tier troops (Xbows, Sentinels, Beseigers, etc.), however, there is a reasonable compromise available, allow players to muster-out/decommission troops: the idea is out there:

Muster-Out Existing Troops

This would allow us to reclaim troops yet keeping some challenge to quests and the like.

They are still called Elite Soldiers, get your timeline right :P

On that note, I wish I had gotten the 65(?) bracket where they needed to make Elite Troops instead of the expensive regular ones. The extra XB and K I have no need for at all, E will come in handy after a botched block hehe

I was hoping I'd make a mistake with XB and K too.. don't you?
