guild quests - lost for words

[Shultz]

Why pay to get the quest done- they can never be worth that ????

I agree that the quests does not fit the new system, many of them require more than the 6- 8 hours many players have on a normal weekday. But cant undestand why you simply skip the quest instead of paying gems. As you say, the coins are not worth that.

Obviously I was not paying for each quest, but when i needed to due to a lack of time for completing one. There is huge pressure in my guild to do daily quest, so having the ability to skip the hard ones with gems, helped a lot.

I got The Way Home as guild quest today and it seems the one who designed that one thinks that all players are online at 1 in the morning. It includes building a codex, something that takes 17 hours. With only 24 hours to complete, no ability to queue things and the shortest production being 12 hours, I have no idea how they think that was a reasonable quest. It would have worked with the old quild quest system where you had some time to react. Now it basically assumes that you do not already have any books going as new guild quest roles over and that you have 5 tomes to spare. This quild quest needs to be removed. It is not even remotely realistic with a 24 hour time limit.

I have 'The Mapmaker' today. This requires, along with paying 200 printing press letters, producing 1000 Intermediate Paper. I have only a level 3 Intermediate Papermill, but I haven't seen a need to upgrade it yet. Despite that, I have buffed the papermill with a Badge (so 3x), and I am currently 2.5 hours into it (after I logged in). I have produced a grand total of 111 pieces of paper. There is not enough time to complete. Even at twice this rate, it would be close. So, I would submit this quest for the list of Guild Quests that need to be changed in light of the new 24 hour format.

Butbut but... you can put 20 Intermediate Papermills on your island, just to complete guild quests O.o

Agree. I also hate that one - when I log in at 7pm in the evening, it's impossible to complete even with a lv6 Papermill.

This is the 3rd day running I have recieved a Guild quest involving the buying and selling of cannons
As a Lv46 player - I cannot make cannons - so to complete the quest I have to trade
In total i returned 70 cannons to BB at a cost of over 2000 guild coins -
So what I would like BB to consider is

-is it reasonable for a player to be given a quest to surrender items that they cannot manufacture
-is it reasonable to have 3 consecutive GQ's that involve an item they cannot produce

Merged

Several in my guild have had to do the same, also for wheels.

I totally agree, but I think it would be better tp put this in one of the other treads about the guild quests.

This problem is a old one which predates xxl

[Urd123]

This one is one of the worst so far.

move 2 hunters

If I am to move those I have - it will cost me

500 marble 500 coins- all in all 1000 marble - 1000 coins.

and honestly - what is the point of moing building around.

I can build a new hunter - cheaper to move a 1 level hunter, then demolish it - all in all it is as meaningful as moving a pile of bricks from one place to another - then back again.
Who made these quest? Not someone who ever tried paying it - that is for sure, and not someone who have any thing close to imagination

If you've got the building license to spare you can always keep the level 1 for the next time the quest reappears. :P
