[Feedback] Dev Notes Weekly Challenges

[supermind]

I've read few feedback posts and there have been some good points made so far.
Here are my thoughts: I don't mind making resources and giving it away, I don't even mind making troops and just tossing them into "black hole" with just one click - the way I look at it - I could loose them in a battle for similar XP, but less the loot. Oh well, loot would be the price to pay not to have to load gen, then watch them slowly walk to a target, kill and do it all again. For me it's just XP with less effort and I like that. What kills me that very specific - RARE adventures that are required to finish the quest. Those are hard to get indeed. I personally finished dozens and dozes of WC with very small % drop of the follow up adv. So please either you change the drop chance or make them available in the store. Life is challenging enough so last thing I need is more frustration when I log in into TSO. I don't want easy quest, I just don't want to be frustrated to the point that I start ignoring those quest all together - in that case, please can you add big X so I can at least remove them from my quest book?? Thank you!

difficulty of the quest isn't the issue. but relying on other players or having to try to constantly fish for players especially in a dead guild or players that aren't your level in the guild can be difficult or annoying.

this doesn't make the quest predictable/reliable.


The point here is this is YOUR CHALLENGE. it's not somebody else's challenge. it should not depend on any other player but yourself. and should not depend on any luck factors such as treasure drops or map drops.

It's a challenge that you and 25% of the people near your level need to do. I could see some frustration if you got a bad group that dawdled around a lot and werent sending their attacks, but as a general rule it should be EASY to find 3 other people who all also need to clear that same coop multiple times... afterall... it's one of only FOUR weekly challenges for your level range. As a level 66+ player, i really can't wait till i get my coop weekly, 3 whirlwinds will be MUCH less of a roadblock than 3 ToWs or SRs.

I still think the biggest issue is that it's 1 week max duration instead of one week duration. the fact that a new one drops immediately as you finish one means there are players in the level 46-55 range who are clearing a weekly challenge every day. additionally, it makes a lot of players feel like they need to push through their current one "as fast as possible" so that they can start a new one, and generally creates a less enjoyable gaming experience. If they last exactly one week (perhaps from your first login since your last weekly ended, or perhaps just monday-sunday every week), it would solve a LOT of problems

BB, you seem to have lost touch with your own community. First you add PvP but make it barely worth it for anyone, then you add these weekly challenges and force people to: do adventures they don't want to do, 3 times in a row, with no option to do a different one, and make troops just to throw them away as well.

Seriously, are resource sinks the only thing you can think of for everything? Every holiday, every event, every guild quest, everything is just give us your resources. The only challenge to that is having to buy them if you can't produce them (at which point most people just don't do it at all).

It'd be rather nice to see you come up with something original for a change.

I just got this Challenge. 1100 grout, 450 magic beans for each Storm Recovery. I won't do it.

I like challenges, but not being frustrated by arbitrarily difficult and expensive hurdles.
I play this game for fun, and sense of progress over time.

The worst part is that if you aren't paying attention, you can actually FAIL the Storm Recovery scenario. Then 3 becomes 4 and the costs get higher.

Did they already make changes in terms of adventures searches for Woodcutter - it has been over a week now that I have received one this way - just getting a lot of whirlwind and storm recovery which I don't want. I hope making this adventure available for map fragments is going to happen this week because I am rapidly running out of them.

I will have to check on it. We are currently fixing the Mountain Clan Campaign. More changes will be coming though, like BB_Alex has mentioned in the Dev Notes.

And announce at the beginning of the quest, so I can figure out which part to get auto completed. Such as the one requiring to run 3x ToW :P
