Hello,

is it just me not finding it or has the love garden quest (when 20-24 buffed buildings) does not have a cancel button? I have a quest i dont want to execute but it is showing now for 3 days as I cannot seem to cancel it.

Is this wanted ? If yes this means if you do not get ur quest done u will never get a new quest !

Yes - have it also - bombed the gardens when I found out I would have to move half my island to do the quest - and I don't really need the buff and would forget to use it anyway.

Please give us the option to cancel the Love garden quests.!

I think I saw an answer somewhere that there is no cancel to avoid cherry picking the easiest quests or best rewards so you either keep the quest forever or the delete the gardens and then complete the quest to get rid of it.

For other purposes you might post in the suggestions forum but I think it wont do any good as I think it was a reply from a BB staff or mod quoting them. Also they did not add a cancel with a cooldown to weeklies either.

When you did not do any quest yet and removed the love gardens again - the quest should just go away.
Well the fact that they are not going to do it, does not mean that it is a bad suggestion or they should not do it, there is no reasonable explanation why it should not be possible somewhere to set a check mark that you does not want to receive the weekly nightmares. There is no law that force them to flash every week that you failed something they say is optional and you choose not to do and therefore did not fail. - Sorry was off topic- but it just make feel me soo mad :p

I agree why do we have to do this? I have a quest to do a venture for a reward I dont want. Hunt for intel. I don't even have a map, so will have to use crystals to buy one bah!

They probably need a duration like the weekly quest does.

This is bad. So far I've only had "do a mini mission/scenario/etc". Having to do a specific one and one that is locked behind crystal wall and having no cancel option is a no-no.
Very surprised there is no complete with gems option.

I just have to do this http://prntscr.com/mxypw2 - but as the gardens are sitting in my star- it is not going to happen. No place on my island to have 20 pop buildings around a garden, without a total make over - and I really dont need pop buff that badly.

Same here, complete a venture! it needs crystals which I don't have. Then you have to try your luck with excelsior once you have got some crystals.....It could take weeks to complete a single love garden quest!

(Hunt For Intel) - Complete a venture:
Ok so you need to convert crystals in the Excelsior (obviously going for the cheapest option here)
Logging in daily = 16 crystals
Daily quest = minimum of 2 crystals = 14
Completing the collect all quest = 0.4 crystals - even if you can only do that once per day that gives you another 2.8 crystals
Total for the week = 32 crystals
The chance of getting the Rough Travel Guide Snippet is 30% - by my (admittedly very rough) calculations 17 crystals will statistically give you 5 snippets which you can convert into the venture - the chance of getting crystals is 15% therefore you should get an average of 2.5 crystals back - so lets call it 15 needed for the Venture map
and yes I appreciate there is a random element before anyone starts ranting on that subject
So again this comes down to CHOICE; if you want to use your crystals to get Ventures you can; and look at the rewards, industrial mines guaranteed, deposits, chance of a rare building which you can sell and some are worth a lot - Spooky Tree a case in point.
Most of the quests you get from the Love Garden you will complete just by playing the game (deposit/adventure/treasure searches), the adventure ones are totally non-specific unlike the weekly quests where you have to do several of the same named adventure; so again it is your CHOICE how quickly you complete these quests.
I wanted the Love Garden for the population buff which as I have commented on in another post has enabled me to free off a good few building spots on my island but I CHOSE to put 20 buildings round it instead of 15 so that I could trigger these quests because I decided the additional buffs were worth it.
I will complete my current Love Garden quest (Hunt For Intel) when I CHOOSE to - it has been sitting in my quest log for a couple of days now; to be honest I will probably leave this till the weekend when I have the time to get the maximum benefit for me, namely activate my Scouting Post, run a good XP adventure I know I can easily complete in under 2 hours and then do the Venture.
If a cancel button was made available for these quests it should have a significant cool-down, personally I do not see the need.

Fine for you Bobblyt. I would not mind getting quests that requires me to do any ventures. I think I have them all in star. That is not my problem at all. My problem is that I am never going to get that far. If I had been aware of what would come I would not have places the garden in the first place. I have not completed any quest and I am not going to.
For me it is not an option to have 20 population buildings around it. It would require too much moving a bout. I have a population of 42k, so I am not short of pop and dont need more. I could have read the fulll description on forum maybe, but I did not.
I read on the garden that it would vitiate new content, but it did not say. "activate new content that will require you to reorganize your entire island" - had it said so I would not have this quest now I cant get rid of and 2 gardens in my star.

They are tradeable
If they annoy you that much maybe sell them, or even just give them away I'm sure a low ranked player struggling for bread and with a bare island would be more than happy to help you

If I do that I will have no option to get rid of the quest ever, so cant do that as long as I am stuck with the quest.

What did the quest required you to do? I can borrow you one garden to get rid of the wait 1 hour one and then you remove all gardens and complete the buff reward quest

I have problems even finding place for an Arabian Tower on my island,- so it is not any time soon I am going to do a needless moving about with buildings to get rid of the quest.

I am running up against the same issue. I have one to complete a Co-Op adventure. I am a solo player. I cannot really think of any time coming up where I will have the opportunity to complete a Co-Op mission with some random person.

So I guess I just do not get to ever do Love Garden quests again.

you kidding me right? The trade chat is FULL of co-op opportunities at this very minute during Easter...

If you really are struggling, PM me as we are on the same server. I will join The Siege with you to help you get this quest done..

"You are kidding me right? I have all of the time in the world to do this, so you should too!"

Yeah. I have a job and a small child. I started this game because it was something that I could set aside at a moments notice and not worry about it until the next day. I am sure that the server is FULL of people who have loads of time to do these things. I do not. So sure, we can go ahead and team up on the Siege... but you have to be totally cool with me disappearing into a project half way through and not being back for a few days, at which time the adventure will have lapsed.

These things just need a 1 week time out like the weekly quests do.

well no - the other way around it is to do your part of the Siege and then get the other person on to do their bit - no hold ups at all. But it sounds more like you are here to have a moan than get the quest done. Good luck with it...

Happy Settling!

This problem still exists... having completed the initial quest to have 20 residences buffed, one would expect that the quest is completed and would disappear.
BUT NO IT DOESNT. There is no option to remove/cancel, and like most other quests we should have a choice.

Please add a "delete" option, sooner rather than later, I for one am sick of having this ongoing rubbish quest in my quest book.

i built my garden a long time ago (don't remember why) and deleted it immediately. i still have a quest to buff 20 buildings. tbh i dont even understand how to do this as the aoe doesn't seem large enough. even if i moved a lot of stuff around i cant see a spot to place all these buildings. If all i had to do was an adv/scenario i'd get on with it happily.

this item is a load of rubbish BB along with some other new buff buildings, but the difference is we can opt out of the other buildings.

how bout making the quest time out at some point so i can get it out of my star menu?

Don't have this particualr problem. I guess i activated the love garden, deleted it and gave it to my wife... then did the quest and it's gone.
