Crisis Quest - The Fallen Army

Spectacular fail, the only thing wrong with 4 winds was the difficulty in getting granite from follow up adventures given that they cant be bought from the shop there was too much a chance you would not succeed regardless of how hard you tried.

The rewards for this quest are truly pathetic, no buildings & half the gems of last time. many players found the rewards ratio from 4 winds to be borderline, well this really takes the biscuit. [ Censored ]

I am out of protest at its utter stupidity not doing this quest.

Wait wait wait wait. I have to make SE adventure, pay 10k exo logs, produce 250 settlers ( with provision house ) and others quest for what ? For 250 gems ? No one will do it ( 46-50 lv )

I will :-)

i will do it (lvl 49) just because its something to do

if no one does it they might take the hint that is them thats in crisis
i will not start it and others that i have chatted with think the same i still have the medi pack from when i started

Disappointing... all I have to say.

Ok, we get that these quests are a way to deflate market and everything but can you AT LEAST add a complimentary decoration reward at the end? Just for those who bother enough to do it? I don't see any reason not to.

Because right now, let's face it, it's quite foolish to even consider it... A "challenge" needs to have more of a reward than "hey, I was foolish enough to do it".

/cents

Yeah I'm 48 level and I'm not doing it. I don't know what you people making this quest are thinking but the rewards are definitely not worth all this trouble. I mean seriously... medi packs? I'm gonna waste a ton of resources and units/consumables just to get a few gems and medi packs? Get real please...

Ditto.
The reasons are obvious. Level 50, NorthIsle economy, outlay vs rewards.

I was rather looking forward to this quest too :(

loads of resources for minimal reward, not even worth doing for fun...

Im not doing this crisis quest why dose every event take our resources ? I think who ever comes up with this rubbish is just lazy make dventures or something and dont just throw them together like the lost skull probaly put together during lunch break no effort or taught what so ever BB spend there time just finding ways to rip us off and if they dont like this then delete my account i could care less .

I was actually looking forward to this to re-awaken interest in the game, not much of a draw there at all...I can feel my interest waning already, nowt to look forward to, lvl 50 blocked off, so looks like end game.

Im lvl 47 and i think most high lvl players are fed up of the rubbish and no point in complaining they only look at positive feed back and ignore any negative replys

i must say this is design by fallen BB
.......nothing new
...... nothing fun
..... take it or leave it
....if that is the best BB can do
...i am sure some of us will leave soon

To finish only Sons of the Veld adventure in chain quest for level 36-46 you need to spend more resources that you can buy for 500 granite which is ultimate reward. What is the point?!

i will not be bothering using my resorses for such little reward..why do i need medi packs i cant use, and the est is poo

2 of the things people complained on the previous crisis quest were the 'get granite from SA/BN/OF' requirement and the use of the expert buildings (at least regarding the 46-50 bracket).
If I understood it right that we need to produce 50 damascene swords (at the 5th quest in the chain) seems like they didnt learn their lesson.

So now they eliminated the granite issue but still want to force us build those useless expert buildings. They can do crisis quests and regular quests based on those buildings but the same problem remains, its just not worth to build them, simple as that.

The problem is based on a flaw in the basic economy of the game. The developers didn't think that people will rely (almost) only on recruits and didn't expect that people will train crossbowmen, elite soldiers and cannoneers usually one time only in their play run (and causing the value of crossbows, damascene swords and cannons and their materials like titanium ore and saltpeter to be very low because of that).

So how do BB handle this issue?
Instead of lowering the building cost of those expert buildings or any other simple solution that handle this basic flaw, they prefer to not touch the economy of the game at all and give some weak bandages every other time, hoping that people will eventually build those buildings.

Sorry but spending a building licence and 4000 granite + 4000 ewp on a building that i wont use at all is not going to happen.

I love the film kelly's heroes,

Moriarty: Bull (not a direct quote lol)

I understand BB added in quest list for high lvl SOTV and SE adventures ( for 3 people you can share that and reduce the army lost ) but for this reward no one move any finger.

Thanks :) for the correct translation but .. its definitally ... 5000 hardwood planks ... not 5000 pinewood in the first questchain.
And the rest are in the sense the same like in the german doc ;)

Webgreetings,
SidV

The rewards are not exciting. But overall they are not bad. I dont mind resources from my island paying for my fun.
I will certainly be doing it and will enjoy it. Thanks BB

I am STUNNED that there is still a random element in the quest chain...

Okay, so first thing I have to do tomorow morning is to delete this rubbish questchain....

I have been thinking, I am playing this game for over an year now, and I am allready for more then half a year waiting for the so many times promised new levels, but all I get instead of these new levels are fail events.... So I thought back to see iff there was in this period 1, just 1 event wich wasnt a big fail and dissapontment...and I am sorry to say... but I cant think up even 1 wich indeed was exiting and fun as BB always promises us.... ( Even the new science system is till now a big dissapointment, as far as I have seen it on the testserver)

I can only agree with those who complained about the worthless rewards, personally I stopped reading the requirements as soon as I noticed they wanted me to produce damascene swords. Off course I wont produce those swords, same like I wont produce cannons or crossbows. Its not my fault you guys start handing out these items as rewards to players who are far away from the level they are able to use them, so by the time the get to that level every one has enough of these weapons. So allmost no one build's these weaponmakers and making a quest for those buildings wont change that...

Already the poll is suggesting that more than 50% of players won't even attempt the quest chain - that's a very clear message to BB that they have messed up... again!

Anyone know what the reaction from the servers where this has gone live is?

I like this game. I've liked Settlers ever since I first reviewed it on the Amiga all those years ago, but BB are seriously trying my patience now. Why is it that they seem incapable of getting an event even close to good? The time is approaching when I may kiss this goodbye - and that's saying something considering the time and money I have put into it.

Must admit the rewards for this quest chain are terrible! they gave 250 gems and more for valentines day! Maybe BB are actually trying to thin the ranks on all servers!

Once again, nothing to appeal to me. 250 gems is nothing compared to what we'll get retroactively when they increase the level rewards, and when we get 100 gems for logging in every week. Medipacks are kind of cool, but probably non-tradeable and actually useless at the higher levels. Guess I'll spend the time twiddling my thumbs waiting for a decent release.

Same here. Im not jumping in happiness, but i will do it since thats a sidestep form same routine adventures.

If I'm not mistaken, as of tomorrow the medipacks will be tradeable, can confirm that tomorrow though I hope!

yeap they are tradeable on the german server ;)

Disappointing... all I have to say. pay 10k exo logs crazy

Thou whined about the luck, as part of the first Crisis Quest, now thou get an easier (boring) Crisis Quest, and thou are still whinning. Go find another game. ;-)

Easier?
More of the same. :(

Suppose it gives me something to do in the meantime. Had hoped for the rewards to be better.

If not a gem building, a unique "Crisis-Event" decoration would have been nice. Just to show you completed the chain..

the award ... sucks . I thing this is the right word to describe it.

Think I'll give it a miss

Producing buffs, doing adventures, make army... i am doing that every day and now i will get some more rewards for that! Great!
I cant wait tomorow to start.

To buy 20k exotic planks in BB's shop is 15900 gems, yet they expect us to give that away amongst other things just to get a measly 250 gems. You can't make it up. I did Four Winds, I won't be doing this one.

INTELLIGENCE crisis is this quest !!! from the site of BB !! they must pay beter thir programmers !!!

Pass no ty
