Just placed the last S.C.R.A.P.P.E.R and got booted. Tried to get back in (several times) and I'm met with "Server Zone Crashed" / "An error was detected on this zone. Please try again." Trying again does not fix it.

This should be automatically removed every day early in the morning - we have an automatic script for this.

Only once a day? So rest of the day is lost if you happen to get that right after script is running?

So, got that same after placing S.C.R.A.P.P.E.R - now says that Server Zone Crashed.
But when friend in clan tries to visit my island it says:

"Your friend's island is locked and cannot be visited. This could be because of a technical reason, or because it's been locked by support"

What is going on here?

We also do other *things* to make sure that "locked" accounts will be active, so it's worth checking in the meantime. A "night" script is guaranteed.

The exp earned at each stage of this quest are pathetic! Seriously who came up with 48 xp as being a reward for those at lvls above 40? Are the developers totally out of touch that they think this is going to be worth the effort? Its a shame that the time developing this couldnt have been used to sort out bugs reported over and over again and are still being ignored!

Why the time limit on the quest chain and why there's a "wait for 36h"-task in those? Why not just 60h time limit or better no time limit with the 36h waiting task?


If the info on the settlersonlinewiki is correct and we have only 4 days to complete the chains and the 2nd last quest in those chains is a task to wait for 36h that would mean that most of us (can't play 24/7) would have to complete the quests in the first 2 days. And if you we can't play when the waiting quest finishes and the 4 day time limit is full all the effort in the quest chain would be wasted.

Lets say a player can only play daily 17-22 and the waiting task starts during that time on Monday. That would mean that the task would complete at 5-10 on Wednesday but the player starts to play at 17 when the actual waiting time would be 43-48h. That's 45-50% of the allowed time for the whole quest chain.

if i am not mistaken, mining the 200 shards takes around 2 days anyway so the 36 hours is just an annoyance, unless the mining can be speeded up to be quicker than 36 hrs

"The Weekly quest ship is missing:
We are planning to fix this in a short maintenance tomorrow."

Well I was starting to hope that after 2 years I would get my weekly quests and weekly visit from the ghost ship back- but that is not the case. Was this fix related to the pathfinder or ?
I have 6 ghost lanterns - what a waste- is there ever a chance that this will be fixed?

It seems our developers have dreamt up a totally useless quest with built in wait parts (for no apparent reason) that make it impossible to complete this quest. The xp you can earn is a nonsense which makes me realise that they have absolutely no grasp on this game. Are they taking the mickey? I for one can't spend all day every day trying to complete this chain and for what end goal? What exactly are the lucative and alluring rewards? (sure isn't the xp!)

lvl 80 so no XP, no SC, basic box for 850, 3x reward: 2000 stone, 1000 hardwood, 1x manu. and follow up chain puts the darkness and falling stars back on.

best thing, this is the reward, next line produce 50 Mk IV charges (to waste on island): 40k grani, 4.8k gunpowder, 8k steel, 1.6k adv. paper. Good price for 1x manu, if you ask me. lol.

Pls, someone report, there is chance to get like shotfirer or something. or big facepalm.

I think many more had the same thought, from what I have seen in chat. No wonder when they call it a Star fall event, and there is no other event windows, that have made many think that they had to finish this in 4 days.

It is not placed on a spot where you are able to build anything yourself, so it does not take away any building spots.

during 'rock in a hard place' I gained 5 boxes of offcuts which gave me shards in my star, just started 'altered state' and again I was given 5 mystery boxes, I opened one, no problem, but then tried to open a 2nd and the game just kept spinning, after a refresh the 3 remaining had gone and there was no extra shards other than from the first.
As there is no or very little info about it, I have no idea what is a bug and what isn't, should i have got five mystery boxes or not

So I am on my first 4-day chain. Looking at wiki it suggests 3 out of 4 chains have this "mine all and wait 36 hrs" quest. Could there be anything less creative? No option for speed up, no variation, just wait roughly 2 days for mines to finish. Game killer. So that already looks like a big fail. The next question is if there will ever be anything interesting in the boxes. If not, this whole Starfall is true to it's name. Shone bright for a few seconds, but soon gone into oblivion. In nutshell we get the opportunity to spend some resources for the privilege to wait for 2 days and then open boxes with rewards which do not move the game anywhere? Not sure how many I opened so far, maybe just one? But found nothing of value.

Hopefully the developers can pull out something better and more interesting then this next time.

EDIT: and it looks like I have the bug already mentioned somewhere - 5 shard containing boxes, but only the first one actually opened and rewarded shards. Rest of them just kept spinning and gave nothing.

someone needs to own up and admit that this is the big waste of time with next to no real rewards! Who signed this off? Why has there been no official response to the feedback so far probably because they are embarrassed to admit that it is bugged, badly thought through and they have failed to provide any real information about the event and the so called rewards. So tell us what are we trying to win! Why have to wait 36 hours? is our time that meaningless to them that we are sent away to twiddle our fingers? Please explain the whole point of the event, its rewards and sort out the rediculous waiting time so we can then take an informed view of whether we would be better off watching paint dry!

Some items are still produced in p house, did you look there. Maybe you forgot to use the buff you made or got from the last quest. Look in star, both in the buff part and in the last tab.

The 36 hr wait time is really 48 hrs or more as that's how long it take to deplete the 5 mines, if you not destroyed any mountain/rubble in sector 7 then its a 2 min walk to the nearest store added to each cycle. Seems a bit too long in a 4 day quest. XP earned is great if you not made it to 80 yet.

Second opinion after checking the rewards on wiki. Obviously we have a choice to get either experience, or chance for skin (and the option itself is actually good, so players can chose what they want. Better then having everything mixed together). So I reckon XP option provides opportunity for those who want to level up without much adventuring. Amount of XP though seems overpowered, especially on higher levels. Which is probably what "necessitated" that "wait 37 Hrs" quest and 2 days mining time. While it's kind of understandable that BB does not want XP overpowered component to be done too often, the solution is still dumb, anti-gaming. I would much prefer less XP and difficulty increased some other way while given possibility to speed up mining and kick out that 37 hours waiting. It just does not add anything to the game. I do not care much about XP. Imo availability of XP is already overpowered, so adding another overpowered XP element is questionable, unless you want to add 20 more levels with content (not empty like last time). Personally I will do Starfall for skins. :) But hey, rethink that waiting element of the chain and replace it with something which looks more like a game.

How exactly do you expect the difficulty increased while they made a concious decision to make it into quests, and quests in this game require you to either press 2 buttons, or wait a while passively generating resources and then press 2 buttons ?

If the rewards are indeed overpowered, one should be at least a little bit happy they didnt accidentally make them completely irrelevant and the entire piece of content DOA.

I rather have that than making most of the game doa this way-

https://settlersonlinewiki.eu/en/guides/boxes/master-compendium-of-starfall-phenomenon-discoveries/

the scaling up of xp per level is insane

at level 79 you need 270 million xp to the next level, 1 box gives 49 million which means 6 boxes gets you to lvl 80

Ok they take 4150 starfall shards but with PFB getting you a net return of between 3k and max 3850 shards per quest (i don't expect people to keep up he 2 hr rebuff cycle but they can ) this means - saying 3k per questline lasting 3 days it will take 9 quests to collect the needed 25k shards so lvl 79-80 in 1 month

That is in my opinionn way overpowered compared to the current path/time form 79-80

The scaling works out worse lower down

This is the only part of the game where you regularly just wait and can't do anything about that. When you have quests with production, you can modify how fast you want to do that using buffs, level buildings, build more buildings - so you can adjust your economy for that. That creates some gaming opportunities, you have a choice. This is literally just wait, nothing else. No planning, no adjustments, no tweaks of economy, nothing. That does not encourage gaming. I'd rather waste expensive resources on making buffs to mine faster, or perform another quest which will speed up mining, anything which would present an option other then just waiting 2 days. Everyone else can still wait two days if they want. :) I want options. Activity without options is not a game, it is mundane, routine boredom.

Hi, how can I complete "Fully mine the 5 deposits"?
2 days ago I found only 4 on map, placed MK. Mines did run out. Than I found the 5th deposit, placed MK to complete the previous quest.
And now I am in quest to "fully mine the 5 deposits", but I don't have those mines, they have been already depleted before the quest was started.
Thanks.

If you started too late with mining, it will fail, but remember, mines are always in same spot, so next round you should know, where you have your 5 spots.

Btw. Absolutely pointless something for lvl 80, as low lvls might say to themselfs they will do it coz of XP. But lvl 80. Pay 40k grani + plenty of other expert elite stuff for chance to get for 4150shards: 900 exowood 750 plat. ore 1tome, no SC in place of XP or anything else, this part of the box is not there. If you think about it, rewards are in stuff you need to spend in 10+times more just to get there.

So what starfall would do? Power lvl lower levels to be bored lvl 80, where starfall gives nothing. :)

Edit: Apparently, some skins are permanent and doesnt seem to be tradable, so if you are into skins, lvl 80 should open only breakthroughs.

Enjoy.

You can use Breakthrough version of the box - each level is in 2 versions. Breakthrough does not give XP, but chance for skin. :) Rest of the "rewards" is roughly the same whooping stuff as XP version. :) I've done about 4 boxes by now, level 1 and II, have not seen skin yet as the chance is low. Another chance reward is books, which I got already several from crates.

Something have gone wrong in the Economy of this - not sure what it is -Devs called it am event- so is it going on forever or is it stopping at some point?
I am level 77 and thought I had a balanced economy, but I am all out of advanced tools.
Advanced tools are very slow to produce. Most of us only have one advanced tool maker and if buffed with etc. "Bag of rainbow snow) you can make around 1000 tools a day. one cycle of the Star Fall uses up a lot of advanced tools - no way you have time to produce enough, unless you have way more than one toolmaker or a lot stored away. It is nice with new quests and something to do - but unless this is balanced better. You leave this in the same box as the weekly nightmares - many simply chose to ignore them. This leaves players 2 options:
Do I want to keep upgrading my buildings to level 7 - or do I want to do the Starfall quests.

it is not that fullfilling for me because it has only 4 different tasks - and they have all big waiting times and cost alot of resouces to gain another resouce that you have to pay and what is left has to be converted into a "box".

For those of us that have decided that the StarFall does nothing to enhance their experience of the game, can we have an option to deploy missiles to eradicate that Forerunner thing?
Or is it destined to remain a blot on the landscape for eternity?

I did try, but have better things to use my advanced tools on and if I want XP i'll just have a Woody week on Prem and Scout.

It's great to be greeted with a FAILED animation most of the time you login. The new quests seem really poorly designed, you spend a ton of resources then have to wait 2 days + mining time to complete the quest, but if you wait a bit too long it fails with all the resources lost?

*sigh*

Given its a massive grind using tons of resources for just xp and temp building skins, its really not worth doing.

So far I have opened about 10 or so Level 2 Breakthrough boxes. Got one skin. Just one. What is the drop chance? Do you realize that you have made this part of game completely pointless? People complain about Weekly challenge being pointless and dropping it soon, but this wrack of poor thinking has been too old and useless two days into it. If this is what you call new content then you are killing the game. At least make those skins drop since we waste tons of resources for that.

More of a question than technical issue which is why i am posting here in the feedback section: so starfall is a series of quests that repeat every week? it's not going to end? just asking cos i seem to be consuming vast amounts of advanced tools to get like 1 manuscript and 300 titanium. doesn't really seem worth it tbh :D

one more question: "Complete the quest 'Allow me to work my magic 3'" on the floaty boat thingy > has this worked for anyone? i.e. has anyone completed this quest and managed to upgrade it? Does it go beyond level 3?

It does work but you need to be level 70 or over to complete it.

Massive boost of XP if you chose the XP box. Other then that, it is a good question for which I would like an answer too. :)

So would I, for those below level 80, it is an alternative way to get experience point and level up, but for those who are at level 80, there is no point at all.

There is no reward, 151000 experience point for each quest turned into - (that is what I am told, I am still level 77 myself) 2 star coins, that is a bucket of ice cold water plashed all over you and not a reward. If you then want to spent hard earned shards, you get to paint your buildings in alternative color.

Honestly yes it is a pegi 7 game, but not many kids play the game, and who cares about skins? I have not talked to one single player so far, who are jumping up and down in excitement over the skins. The skins are just another bucket of ice cold water to splash over the high level players instead of a decent reward.

Please change the rewards, especially for the high level players.

I'm doing the Starfall quests for something to do but at level 80 they are pretty meaningless as is most things these days. Don't need xp & I don't have room for any more buildings. As usual BB have lost the plot.

New in depth content for 80's doesnt seem to be on the front burner-

it will just mean a slow attrition at the top end of the game due to lack of challenges/goals for an ever larger part of the community

What is incomprehensibe is, they made this cliff edge come much faster for many people, seeing Starfall can accelerate the xp gains for 75-79's 50 fold or better with the xp reward boxes

Exactly my point. XP boost was already overpowered before, new players just fly through levels with no time to adjust their economy to new stuff. I'd be happy to do starfall for skins, but they do not drop - one skin from about 10 crates, so loosing interest at a supersonic speed. What the heck is BB doing with this is a mystery to me. And as usual, they don't tell you much. :)

Looks like they want to get rid of us as fast as possible :-D
