I agree with the people that find acquiring sectors on the campaign map annoying, but I’m just going to skip those days when it comes to it. It frustrates me losing progress, but it’s better than making progress I don’t want to make for a prize that isn’t worth to me making that advancement.
Don’t get me wrong, I think the prizes are great and having access to older set buildings again is a dream come true for me. But the chance to get it is too small for me to do even one thing that I can’t undo.
That’s just my personal preference to play the game slowly enough that I’ll never have a problem obtaining an event item I want. Say what you will about it, but I just don’t ever want to be in a place where I can’t get something because I ran too far too fast.

Stop scouring. If you have no unscouted Provinces with open Sectors you will get no CMap DC Quests.

Algona, do you know if a province that is available to scout but unscouted would not trigger a DC requirement to take sectors?
DeletedUser31771
Today.
Really. If you don't mind sharing, do you regularly collect close to that amount?
DeletedUser31225
Yes. I acquired 8/10 PE provinces before DC started. I am yet to scout remaining 2 provinces. I have not seen any C Map quest on DC ever.

Most days yes. There's been at least one day when I couldn't get on and didn't complete that quest.

No idea how to do more than quote the entire post and chop up the sections I wish to reply to. And no, I'm not all that interested in learning. I don't often have to reply to such lengthy responses.
A company that does not listen to its customers is a company soon destined to go out of business.
We have to use the tools we're given. Inno has provided this official Forum for those of us who care about the game enough to use our time to post our concerns, ideas and- yes- rants. Inno has staff members who come here, now and then, and answer posts and provide information and updates. Those are, indeed, welcome, but too infrequent (and probably so for a variety of reasons rather than just "corporate inertia" or whatever you want to call it).
I'm requesting that they reduce the number of instances that a Produce Insane Number Of 5 Minute Supply subquests (or the like) be generated, not a complete elimination of them. It's not that I see such a quest; it's that I see it several times a week. Sometimes a DC has only two subquests. Sometimes it has five subquests. Why must it ever have five subquests? Limiting the number to, say, three or even four reduces the probability that you'll get the Insane Number Of Productions subquest, which is all I (and others) am asking for.
Will I be mad if they get rid of something I like and keep something I don't? Of course. I'm human after all.
It depends on the content and how it is expressed.
If it's all complaint, all bombast and no constructive nature to it at all, yeah it's a rant.
If it's complaint via constructive criticism with a suggestion of how to address the complaint, then it clearly moves past a ARant and deserves to be addressed in a serious way.
**********
All that proves is that there are far more complaints about the way the DCs are implemented than merely the one I raise, but it in no way invalidates my proposition that it is complaint-worthy.
If your criteria is that every single poster- or even an overwhelming majority of posters- must complain about the exact same thing in the exact same way, then I guess nothing is wrong with the game at all because not everyone complains about the same thing in the same way.
You yourself concede that Timed Productions are "the most complained about DC Quest on these forums", yet you also seek to minimize those complaints. That would seem to me to be contradictory positions.

Got the quest 2 days ago. I do more then 2.5k silver a day.
I had the 3.5k silver last week, and the week before. I managed to do them both, though it was close.

To strengthen Algona point, I am satisfied with the X timed production quests. If you want to do that quest, it can be done, you just need to build the city as to support it.
I got today the 95*15 minutes production quest. And apart from having to click 95 times the 15minutes, which is a bit annoying, I should finish it easily. I got 33 Hatters, so its 3 times to run through all the hatters to finish the quest. So I have to plan on an hour near the computer, with about 5 minutes of actual work (pressing 95 times on the hatters). So in about 2 hours from now, when I know that I will have a bit of time, I gonna do it.
So, 5 minutes work over an hour, doesn't sound like too hard a challenge for me. Its a grind quest, which is annoying, but not a problem.
You may not wish to build the city to support this ability. This is a decision (as was noted a lot by now) you choose to take.
As a side note I will say that to build the city to support this kind of quest is very efficient and worthy in all ages. You can always convert the production building 24 hour product into RQ's and earn a lot from there (i.e. you will earn tons of goods, medals and FP's). So if you want to have a stronger city, build your current age production buildings, and get both RQ's and Daily Quests at the same time.
If you add the CF into it, you can earn ***hundreds of goods every day, thousands of medals and 5-50 FPS per day*** (depend on the age).

That is almost exactly my experience as well. I have not scouted a Province in my CE citys ince DCs started in my CE ity. I have not gotten any CMap DC Quests.
In my Colonial city the only time i get CMap DC Quests is when I have open Sectors.
In addition, I've seen and made this point about not scouting repeatedly all over these forums, I;ve seen one person disagree, and, well, they were not a reliable poster.
I can;t guarantee it, but I'd bet a lot on it.

Thank you! I appreciate it you using the Quotes.
If you insist but that's not what's happening here.
What is happening is that the forums show that a lot of people onject to Collect X Timed Productions more then any other DC Quest.
Bur much more importantly, The forums also show that many more people, the mast majority do not onject
Insinuating INNO is not listening to their customrs on this is not warranted.
Hmpj. I don;t see how you can respond with that. You haven;t read the DC Feedback thread,you;d know that htere are a subtantial number of pwplayers who voice support gor DCs. We have no idea if that holds true for the game in general.
Care to speculate on how many don;t do DCs? Think it's more or less who don't fo GE?
Two hints. We know how many play FE, it;s demonstrated every week in GEC standings. The only source we have for general satisfaction and dissatisfaction is stated in these forums.
Try asking me. If you had rad that thread i referred you to in Forge Hall, you;d knoe.
Exactly correct.
If youe viewpoint is that anything positive comes from such complaints combined with the belief that a minority of players should get there way over the majority combined with believing that the majority of players will not be bothered when some Quest they don't object to is removed when what they do onject to is lef combined with the idea that something should be changed even though we have no idea of what that change shoulr be.
Then yeah, i giess my stance might seem contradictory.
Thanks for answering my question.
Right. But we can take the same steps I hope INNO is taking, We can analize what;s binf posted, we can compare what we see here to what we see in game, and we can discuss our findings and conclusions and see if we reach a concensus.
If we;re going to do that analysis I will gice a a lot more credence to somoone who demonstrates good thinking, has a long histroy of ppsting so I know they are experienced in the game, and demonstrates they read a lot if not all the Forum. You;re a good thinker, you demonstrated that when i first saw you arguing in the Dbate Hall. You are long term poster, you know the game. You;re not wide read. Nothing wrong with that, ut you dont now what the forums have to say on most subjects.
That does not mean your thoughts, opinions, ideas should be dismissed, you;re one of the posters whose posts should always be considered. It does mean that you sometimes don't know what is going on in the forums at large which can affect your opinions.

If capture all the sectors that are currently open, I won't get that in my DCs anymore? I'm just asking to clarify, I'm not feeling great today and it makes it harder for me to follow what you're saying.
But I wish the same were true of the Event Quests.
I'll do that from now on. Thank you very much for letting me know. I appreciate it.

Correct. I won;t guarantee it, but I've never gotten a CMap DC Quest all Secotrs acquired. I've seen one player say they got one, but I don;t think that was a credible post. No other poster has disagreed, I believe a lot are using this.
Good luck.

I did not take it that way at all.
I was quite serious when I said that I very rarely have to reply in such depth to a post. Whether I agree with him or not, Algona prompts careful thought on the part of would-be reply-ers like myself. With many others, frankly, I wouldn't bother to address point-by-point, but I do make an exception for him.
