daily quests, daily bleh!

on prem for event so getting 2 daily quests each day. I don't even read them anymore, it takes much less effort to just click X.
They're boring, pointless and usually slightly detrimental to my game. I would enjoy a quest each day, but I'm not interested in this dross at all.

Guild quests? I've had to pay gunpowder 4 times this week! and we're not talking 50 per, some quests require more.
It's wrong, bb has no excuse. I can give u plenty of ideas to prevent this happening, its really not difficult. Have ur programmers heard of flags?

rant over, still a gr8 game, but sort out this rubbish and it will be awesome like the old days!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one getting repeated demands for gunpowder in the guild quests, have had the Fireworks quest (pay 75 gunpowder get your friends to apply 25 buffs) no less than four times in the past six days, three of which were in a row, and another that asked me to pay 50 gunpowder that I don't know the name of. Am assuming there is going to be some kind of gunpowder "sale" coming up... (okay I'm not entirely sure you can buy it for gems, maybe they are planning on adding it to the shop)

today I got to lose 75 gunpowder (5th time this week) and a gem sale is goin on!

i'm sure if bb sorted these little nuances out more ppl would buy gems.

I keep editing this bit coz I like playing settlers and don't want to get banned. I'm a professional programmer and i'm not impressed! i'll leave it at that, nuff said.

how much in eggs would it cost you to buy gunpowder in TO vs the reward for quest?
I agree that the fact that you have to pay gunpowder in 2 of the 5 quests is weird. Maybe they messed up and one of those was supposed to be pay cannons. :)

Fellow IT professional with a fair bit of UAT under his belt and you need say no more...

At the moment I can get 100 gunpowder for about 20 eggs so it's roughly the same. (Small guild that's lost a lot of active members recently) Haven't had a request for gunpowder for a couple of days though so touch wood it was just a glitch in the matrix...

I agree re the gunpowder but try making 500 longbows in a few hours as keeps coming up. The only reason we get it done is because at midnight I visit every island with that quest and x3 buff the longbow makers - 30mins at least.

its not so much about the cost as the fact that its digging deep into my powder stores. if I buy powder with eggs i'm breaking even, back to my original remark about daily quests.

I;ve seen a lot of repetitive comments about the same old issues over and over and I really can't understand why bb don't do something, even if its just issue a statement to explain why they would rather spend their time creating an icon at the top of the screen telling us when we have a zone wide buff (presumably for the type of ppl who aren't sure if they've switched their pc on or not) that no1 uses :)

I hate to point out that I'd rather pay 75 gunpowder than do a vlt, being as the primary adventure for this event is bk chances are your getting a few saltpetre drops I really don't see the problem. However the lower level guy getting long bows that one can be harsh if you log in late.

idm paying anything, I have a choice, pay or not pay. its the fact that paying gp 5 times in 1 week isn't very balanced. supposed to be random next week i'll probz be moaning my gran reserves are being depleted lol...

and it is easy to stop this happening..

so my other issue is why don't bb implement the many easy fixes we continually ask for or at least tell us why not :)

Have to agree with vigabrand on this one, it's not so much the paying gp that is the problem, it's the fact that I'm being asked to deplete an already scarce resource by paying gp over and over again when the quests are meant be random. Though you do have a point, being asked to complete vlt would also be annoying...and the longbow one is definitely worse. I'm lvl 52 and have never produced more than abt 100lb/12hrs so wouldn't be able to produce 500 even with a 4x buff...

Just got my last guild quest of the event, Fireworks again.

Making a grand total of 9 Fireworks (pay 75 gunpowder)and 5 Refined-Gunpowder (Pay 50 gunpowder) quests in 20 days, interestingly I had never had either of these quests before the event began.

It seems like I've been getting that one (Fireworks) a lot lately also. I'm gradually running out of Saltpeter :-(

They are event specific quests maybe just for Easter, the next event might be different.

Have to admit that I stopped trying to complete them after the first couple, I rarely lose cannons so only have a level one powderhut and would have struggled to keep up with demand.

God I hope so, have seen enough of these quests for a lifetime...though the way things work around here the next event will probable be repeated requests to produce Codex or something... :eek:
