Insane quest requirements

Pauly7

Manipulator of Time
I have recently entered chapter 19 - I think - I still don't know what it's called. I was recently complaining in our fellowship chat about how there are now daily quests in the 'season' which are asking me to collect ascended goods in not insignificant quantities. I have made the decision I am going to ignore these in the future because I am not producing, don't need to produce and can't produce large quantities of these goods. Until I build my next guest race portal at least, there is literally no use for them. They will evaporate down to (almost) nothing, and it will do nothing except use up my unurium. This stuff is in very short supply to me. It's output from the trader is based on working population and mine is very small.

My intention here is not to get into other ways to increase unurium production. I am utilising all those that I wish to do.

So having made my peace with the fact that I will ignore certain season requests, I am now astonished to see an event quest (no. 33 or 34) which is "produce 172k ascended goods". This would equate to 7 or 8 x 9hr ascended productions. Surely this is unreasonable by anyone's standards as people will normally only have 1 ascended manu at each tier (now two in total for me). However, for me this likely represents about the next 6 months' worth of ascended goods that I would wish to produce.

Everyone has their trigger events. They may or may not be reasonable, but for me this is the biggest one I have reached in this game. I am continually amazed how InnoGames is always seeking to stamp out any individuality in this game and force people to build their cities and play their games in the exact same heartless way that they have deemed it appropriate.

I will see how I feel in the coming days. You may think this an overreaction, but this is the closest I have felt like I don't want to play this game.

There should be more alternative tasks presented in the quests. Similar to when they used to only ask for 'Scout a province' until they realised that an alternative task was needed for players whose scout times were more than six days.

but this is the closest I have felt like I don't want to play this game.
Try to ignore the events when they reach the stage of demanding outrageous tasks. Events and other seasons of 'joy' are only a sideline. You help us a lot @Pauly7. :)
 
Produce or collect?
The only ascended (and sentient) goods related quests I can remember in this event are to collect an amount. Collect is better than produce, as trading and using the merchant counts. I've just moved the goods back and forth until I've had sufficient to satisfy the quest.
Good advice @owl76. :cool:

Back in the earlier days of this game they used to scream at us NOT to overscout as the wraths of hell, brimstone and all that stuff would fall upon us. Then they brought out events for us to do and we are required to scout and clear these provinces for the quests in these events. Its no small number either. We have continually brought this up and occasionally they will add an 'and or' quest but most times its finish a province, scout a province, collect relics ( involves provinces), complete x number of provinces or tournament or spire ( those invariably appear when its too late to do the spire or the tournament. When will this end. One of my cities Im rapidly running out of provinces to clear, scouting takes a year so what are we supposed to do?
To be honest, Ive just realized, why am I getting so annoyed at this when once again the 5% coin instant will be my reward!
Im off to line up my coin instants and play tiddly winks, toodles!

I remember those times too @McBratty. But when it happened I had already 'over-scouted', so I just assumed I was damned beyond all redemption and carried on my merry way. :cool:

I need to keep reminding myself that these events are not intended for the likes of me. But I'm still driven to participate, out of sheer bloody-mindedness. The dumb 'rewards' and inane quests still irk me though. I guess Inno doesn't want everyone to have fun. :(
 
You, like me, suffer with FOMO :D
I even suffer from Fear Of FOMO. So that's FOFOMO. :)
