View Full Version : Why there's no auto-confirm for adventure quests on time-out?

hi, I suffered a terrible loss in my 2nd successful conquering of Witch of Swamp adventure... Lack of auto-confirmation at end (or lack of knowing that) caused me lose all loots except 5,663 stars :)

Just because everything was smooth in my 1st conquering, I took easy after confirming my final attack (to the Witch Tower) and switched to other islands (buff friends' building etc. u know there's quite a lot to do in this game :)). In fact, I used 4-round MMA 1R-suicide so there's not too much time remained for the quest. As a result, yes, as the quest finished on time-out, mail come in without notifying my final victory (though i received battle report, won), but declaring my "failure".

I respect design of the game (esp. the impressive statistical balance~), and do understand the necessity of confirmation in case u have to "make a choice". There's also use cases, in which adventure host needs to add participant before final confirmation. However, when time-out reached... what choice can be better than confirm the already done victory? or that's only meant to be a penalty to ignorance of the exotic User Experience design?..:)

If designers also think this is a possible improvement, please give me back the loots as well (I'm only lvl32 so the loots meant a lot :))

That you have completed all the adventures subquests does not mean that all camps have been killed, so there could be a fair bit of extra XP to be gained. For a player of your level I suggest you look at Old Friends (http://http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/16332-Killste-Collected-Adventure-Guides-by-Various-Authors?p=180809&viewfull=1#post180809) to see what I mean. So a auto completion would deny you the chance of gaining that extra XP.

he meant if victory conditions are met when the time runs out it should be declared a victory not defeat.

yes~ @topgearfan I meant if there's obviously no better "choice" at all~
