as always great stuff on the crisis quest, love them and rewards are fab - tyvm BB :)
does anyone yet know if the value of the book drop is relative to the length of the addy search? For example, prolonged = Codex, long = Tome etc etc
Its good that BB is trying to keep people active outside of big events.
Cool :)
my only grumble about it is in the past we had no warning of what was gonna happen in the crisis quests so it was a propper unknown thing and we was all thrown in deep end together
but this time yous had it on test so for me in the way they have been in the past this isnt a real crisis quest coz if peeps wanted they could checked it out on the test site 1st i didnt do this coz to keep with way they been in the past i didnt wanna know what was coming
positive side is tho if lower levels complete it they get a manu tribute thingy that would be out their reach coz us high levels got or can get 1 from 3rd theifs
This is great, better than an event which is a sad indication how events have been recently. Probably should keep it off test as many have built in advance & well prepared for it, The hint is in the title, its supposed to be a Crisis & should be dropped right b4 or after an event for immediate impact!
The best thing about it is the bonus of books popping up in adv search loot, not sure if its written anywhere but didn't find out about this till late yesterday. But yeah over 10 books in half a days search(6 manu, 4 tome, 1 codex) so obviously all my scouts will be on adv search for the week :)
This crisis event seems to provide not so much time to complete it.
The sub quests depend to much on 1 sub quest. For example in Stage 1:
After finishing "The Stowaway" you can start "Hidden Treasure"
After finishing "Hidden Treasure" you can start "Follow The Leads"
But after finishing "Diplomacy First", you cannot start anything after. So basically you always wait for some production to finish before going to the next production.
It would be better to start some production sub quest after "Diplomacy First" also.
I am afraid this chaining of sub quests is present in all stages. Making it very difficult as you always have somewere a reduced production capacity. As everyone increases production chains in such a way to produce the items what's most profitable for him or her.
Second...is there no page to see results of events, like how many people made it to the end? This shows everyone an indication if the event was reachable for them.
well, that is why they call it crisis, if you're not throwing everything you have (buffs!) at the problem, you will likely not finish in time.
Secondly the chain was known so anyone could've prepared additional production where it was needed well ahead of time.
crisis quest all done with 4 days plus to go cheers
I was done with 5 days to go ;)
This news does not deserve frontpage ?
Hello :)
Crisis event 2019 - Quite appreciated all about it! Thank you, perfect organization/structure of event and quantities and all.
With admiration!
Simply perfect. Thank you!
Hello
Is it possible to get platinum ore on a very long search? I havn't got a single one yet :(
No, you need to use prolonged search to get platinumQuote:

Thanks alot for the help anyways =)
Thanks for the crisis event. Very happy with the books from explorers and wish it would become a more regular feature in events.
only thing I would change is the final quest that requires a pure chance of finding something from prolonged searches. Having spent a lot of time and effort to complete the previous parts the final quest is in the lap of the gods. I am sure there will be plenty of players who will miss out even though they have tried as much as those who complete it.
I liked it :), and the feedback from most of the guild has been posative. Good rewards, in particular the random books have been popular. Perhaps a bit to much troop building, but it's not like we won't use them.
Thankyou
ok have a great day. Smile and see how it changes things :)
Good event, nice to get books in adventure loot.
Frustrating for lower levels to find they have to 'find x amount of granite' on Part 4 of Section 4 which means they cannot look for books until they manage this and can end up not finishing the chain unless they gem the quest. Getting the stuff on treasure search is totally random and to give that perspective on my Newfoundland account I managed it on the first search run whilst on Sandycove it took me almost 2 days. On my Northisle account all I had to do was 'gather x amount of saltpetre and that was done in seconds by a return trade.
More like this would be entertaining but please don't end up doing what so many games have done and end up with non-stop events.
So we both did not could much progess in the crisis getting 7.5K of map fragments. Thats a huge amount , you can not collect in 7 days. THe trade price where also sky rocked, 8k gold for 1000 map fragments. So you need a lot of high lvl gold coins press to get so much coisn produce in 7 days.Quote:

- You prepare your island by planning ahead: the crisis event was announced weeks ago on both the test server as well as in wiki, so all requirements were known beforehands.
That said, it seems some players took it too literally by upgrading the watchtower they got from a previous crisis event.
Why would they have assumed that ALL players did have said-building and therefore that it was the one to upgrade, using their tokens (or complaining about the lack of, due to their refusal to complete a weekly) instead of checking the building on the island in the middle, which is the stage of most events?
On the test server, the bookbinder originally delivered a tome as weekly reward, before it was nerfed to a petty manuscript.
So yes, it was really very nice to have books from explorers during this crisis event, but that was somehow only a temporary patch to make up for the general disappointment about the nerfing.
There are still so many gens/explorers/geos to skill, thanks to (because of?) the non-stop events of late and I remain unimpressed with the weekly manuscripts from both tributes (even when buffed)...
So i finished on the last day.
My sandy and north accounts though which had foolishly ventured over to the level 56 had no chance.
Seems its best not to level up.
Still they have made the event on High Lvl Players and big guilds. We are small guild of 3 friend of real life who use it a nice pimped chat. Yeah i know maybe i made previous event bad choices. I am playing sinds pre beta test 2012 switched to Anno online and came back when that was abondon. If you do not have RPM then you are screwed, you need to have recipy unlocked. and you need to produces lots of paper to get the 50 map fragments. I did not calculated i think you need to have focues on lots of simple paper while you produce enough for RPH. maybe i needed earlier to check the forum how you could solve the quest. It was nicer that it was a tip in the quest info how to produce fast map fragment and not need to send all your explores to find map fragments or adventures.Quote:

Also the expect to that you are in a big guild so you could trade easy but if you are onlone or in a small guild the huge quantaties of goods is an issue. I expect soon the annevery event and that also a huge drain always on your stockpile.Quote:

Crisis chain in total gives you enough gems to complete minimum of 4-6 sub tasks with gems depending of your level and task type.Quote:

As Mannerheim pointed out, it is not hard to find advice or assistance just by asking in the appropriate server chat channels if you do get stuck somewhere, or just drop a few gems on one part because you will earn more by finishing the others.
Now that there are two bookbinder tributes, I think they are more than adequate as a free bonus to production. I see no need to fully skill most of the specialists, I focus on main attack generals and the better explorers because that provides the best return on investment. I like the fact that it is not always practical, or even possible, to get every single thing 100% complete. It kind of maintains some semblance of a challenge.
gr8 event ! ***** - 5 stars!
I thought it was quite difficult but managed without gemming anything. I thought the find x through treasure search for the lower levels was a bit mean when for the highest one it was do a prolonged adventure search which is more deterministic.
Loved getting all the books from adventure searches.
As then name suggested - "Crisis" so we expected to be pushed hard. Always complain about the build 2500 recruits - and what are we expected to do with them? By level 56 I never use recruits for anything, so spent the "do one adventure"/kill tower parts killing them off in waves.
I would echo comments made by others though - read the advanced blurb, find the notes on what each quest is going to be and plan accordingly. It was easier to produce "amounts" of stuff by building a few extra buildings and upgrading them to level 2/3 before they were needed, and having explorers out to arrive back just after the next quest started. Without forward planning I would not have been able to complete the event without using gems at some point ( but maybe thats what we are expected to do :-) )
Was it worth the rewards ... probably not. Bookbinder tribute - 1 manuscript every 7 days - not that good but as it only cost me time so I went for it anyway.
I enjoyed the event but it was extremely hard. Even though I put significant effort into it, and spent a small fortune buying materials I didn't come close to finishing. I ended up upgrading a bunch of buildings, buffing everything with stadium snacks were possible, still didn't make it out of 3rd phase.
You can buff the building...Quote:

Especially this one, with granit to find with search for the last part of the quest.
I used the rewards gems to finish it... like many probably :'(
If you read previous comments you would see that crisis quests are not normally announced that is why they are crisis quests. This time they did seem to have it on the test server so there was prior warning of what would be required if you looked. Wiki also had a guide for it if you chose to use it.Quote:

All tasks I end in 4 days, so difficulty level for me was OK.
Honestly great event i knew it was coming at some point had seen it on test server but didnt look at what was needed was no need no matter what it was would be easy enough to do or get and thoses who complain maybe stop being so lazy and actually work on your islands ...events come and go and they all need something so with that in mind hoard what you can and what your ow in learn to get more of it....i had it complete in 3-4 days without much effort just time comsuming making troops doing adv and treasure searches
