shad23: I'd honestly rather you beta players hammer home the point about;
How fething STUPID! it is to have a *FORCED* "claim 1 Sector" as the 4th damn quest in the event!!
Considering that ingredients will be offered among the DC's, forcing people to keep a whole province open for days
is going to massively screw over one's ability to play the event itself!!
The absolutely HAS to be options to ALL possible 'claim X sector' and/or 'scout a province' quests...
Unless you can keep provinces closed, you're going to inevitably get screwed over HARD on the Daily Challenge side of things, as those just
love to throw out 'gain sectors' ad nausium if/when you have anything open.
Sure, this may not be an issue for end of game players who have the map cleaned up, but the
vast majority of players do not!
This WILL cause a very large number of players to forgo the event entirely, meaning a lot less $$$ spending on diamonds to chase multiple windmills/cider mills.
Please rally the beta community to get Inno on board, especially after the fantastic job you guys did forcing them to fix the laughable clusterfeth that was the initial version of the Summer event/Ships.
EDIT: The options can be painful - like "win 5-6 battles in a row without losing in between", or "solve 12 GE encounters", or else the ever favourite "donate 300+ current or previous era goods to guild treasury"...
We'll accept that! Just, please, we really, really,
really *need* to avoid such a stupidly moronic "hey guys - leave some province stuff open and get sweet gak all from DC's!trollolololz!" BS that Inno is shoving down our throats atm.
