I define it as something in the personality of some members, that rubs them the wrong way, Yes. Rival blindsides people, who don't like venturing into the unknown for a "rich reward", getting partway there and then finding out they can't get there in full. Yes. That's at least 1 element of the pushback you're reading from members each time a new Rival challenge comes out.
How is it that you think most established players have lots of finish supply productions given how many supply quests are needed these days in events and other quests? Most players would have only a single tarot building which produces 1 finish all productions in just over a week, which is not a very fast way to build them up. Also, most players do not have 20 supply production buildings in their city, which means they would need to use more than 2 finish all supply productions.
I am not giving up. I just realize that doing quest 32 is not worth the cost of doing so imo. I am fine with skipping it. Just think it was set up in a pointless way compared to Beta where the prize for the last quest was totally worth spending more finish productions on.
I don't recall any of the Events having a "Finish X 24 hour productions" without there being an alternative option. I have never needed to use a Finish All Supply Productions item during an Event. Supply rushes to save some time yes. I don't know how many production buildings other players have. I usually had a dozen blacksmiths and some sleigh builders but I replaced them all with Jumpin Pumpkins (I have 17 now with more to come). I used 3 FASP items this Rival which is easily sustainable.
Looking at the top 10 players in my world and in my guild, none of the top 10 in the world have even 10 production buildings (many had none at all) and only a couple do in my guild and one of those has over 20 since he does lots of RQ quests for more titan goods. I use some finish production quests on the annoying never ending production quests from events such as the last event where like 50% or something (could be an exaggeration but the point is that it was a lot of them) of the quests called for finishing productions. I would rather avoid the annoyance of things like doing them endlessly in events rather than spend more of them on rival quest 32 where I can just get the gold upgrade anyway with a little time and simply collecting from the silver building.
When there’s no Event running, sure. I can just ignore it.
I might just do enough the next event to get the golden orrrery upgrade and some stage of age upgrades and call it a day. Not overly impressed with the new main building overall and already have way more buildings that are good or decent than I have room for. Plus I find the merge game very annoying lol
Lemme guess. You don't have a Tarot Card Caravans.
I think his post is valid regardless of having tarot card caravansLemme guess. You don't have a Tarot Card Caravans.
It doesn't need to be a fast time to build up finish supply production items. I only the one Tarot Card Caravans, but it's been such a long time since the last mini challenge that needed supply rushes that anyone with a TCC should have more than enough. Just store a few event buildings, place down some blacksmiths, and you're set.
Wrong. And beside the point. But keep playing, maybe you'll get something right at some point.Lemme guess. You don't have a Tarot Card Caravans.
You are correct: we've entered the death spiral. I've seen this before in other games. Now it's all about syphoning as much money has they can from the dwindling player base before they close the doors.
