Four Winds Quest Survey

[Exarkfr]

Abandoned after it took my explorers 5 days to find goods for step 1.

Additional time came too late...

I thought it would be insanely difficult to finish, yes, it's resource intensive (It's a sink after all) but managed to complete it with 3 days to spare (Before extension was given). And had to do adv a few times to get granite. Overall, hated using the resource so close to Easter Event, but that was it's purpose. Look forward to the next one.

I have just completed the quest chain, got loot at 2nd attempt on Bandits and Old Friends

[Sterk]

I am on my 3rd attempt to get granite from Bandit's nest - my second attempt lost me all my xbows, elites and some 60+soldiers along with 120 cavs due to lag making my last attack 2nd wave hit first

Later that same day - 3rd time through = no granite = quest chain deleted!

The most worrying aspect for me (the bad game design of random luck is a given) is the number of experienced players who appear to have done this quest to relieve the boredom more than anything else. Something seriously wrong when repeating an adventure for a random reward drop is the most interesting thing they could be doing! If BB don't come up with more and, crucially, better thought out content, then things look bleak for the future. They have at least been trying with Crisis Quests (more to come it seems) and EotW, but someone who actually understands how the game is being played really must sort out the mistakes they keep making in the planning and execution of these events. Most of the mistakes have not even been bugs, so they are much more easily avoidable if only the designers were taking notice of the feedback they've been given.

Incidentally, I cancelled the quest after seeing the full chain (which I remind people will not have been visible to those who don't visit the forums) because of it needing far too many resources to be worth the reward and because it would be random as to whether I could finish it, regardless of the time factor. I'm glad BB are doing these quests, but they MUST sort out these constant and simple errors in the planning, delivery, communication and content.

And gems- dont forget the gems rewards :P

I am finishing up the last bowmen.... on sunny day, "old friends" is that an adventure? I do not have it nor found one

[Jesh]

fifth try on bandits nest, no sucess. guild mates of higher level had to do ml for about 15-30 times.... Next time try something with a real sucess ratio for normal players.

I did complete it in like a week, got granite first attempts usually (1 lootspot swap), only on SA it took 2 swaps. Also few other guildmates on the high tier (lvls45-50) completed it. Most problems are in the tier that requires BN, many players give up after not receiving granite into the 3rd-4th BN done, almost noone completed on that tier. It would`ve been nice to have a 2 player adventure there too.
