Have anyone finished this mission ? Because I think how absurd and poor design this mission is for an idle game.

I can instant kill everything from 1-170, but still can't make it on time.

80 minute is 4800 second. So you have roughly 32 second to beat one stage. But there's several limit to make this mission near impossible:

- Some stage require me to kill 40-50 mobs, which cannot be done under 30 sec. I have timed it.

- When changing stage, it cost me 4-5 second before I can kill the first mob on the next stage.

- The process of looting chest is too long. It cost me 7-10 seconds to loot one chest. And if I'm lucky to have 10 chest, I lose around 2 minute already.

- Disconnecting ! Fail to contact the server ! I lose 2-3 minute just to reconnect to the game. And I have experienced twice in a single run.


And the most important thing is: This is an idle game. Why do you want me to sit in front of my computer for a whole 80 minutes, just moving my mouse around to loot quest item and open chest ?

I suggest that 10-20 minute is added to the time, or the developer implement an option that cancel the chest looting animation. That would help a lot.

Thien.

I believe I am the top 5 Idols owner in this game already. Like I said, I beat everything from 1-170 instantly and OF COURSE I know how to turn on auto advance.

I even sit for 40 minute to loot quest item and chest, until I realize it's near impossible to do it without some luck and no disconnect.

Sorry but I don't believe several people has completed this mission. Only a few on top with extreme patience and luck can do this mission.

For me this challenge is impossible. I don't even count luck, it's clearly IMPOSSIBLE.
I have over 4k idols, so i insta-kill everything included bosses and of course i use auto-advance and i collect things asap to advance the fatest possible. In my first run with only 4 chest i got to lvl 135. Second run i tried another browser, i was at lvl 65 mid time, so i've stopped.
The lag/charge on the browser clearly make the run impossible for me. So lucky for people with good machine but dev should test the time it takes for some people before asking 80 min or so. Or count the time in ticks and not with a chrono( which is done is absolutly every game that include time in performance).

Yeah, I beat it with about a minute left, and I only have about a thousand idols. It's supposed to be a challenge (definitely not impossible). It was a refreshing change after mindless resets after resets to farm idols, so I don't know what you guys are complaining about (especially you with the 4k idols, holy crap).

One tip I have is that like people said, you can't idle through the whole thing. You constantly pick up the quest rewards (especially the quests where you only have to pick up 1 thing), because that shaves of few precious seconds per level (which adds up over 150 levels).

Earlier today, I missed it by a smidge! The last second ticked off as my guys were walking onto the screen to start level 151. Someone in chat told me you actually have to reset before the time runs out. I don't know if it's true, but, word of warning.

To be honest though, I found it a kind of refreshing change. I always loved the Speed Run comets in Super Mario Galaxy though, so there ya go.

@Xim That is intended by devs, they said they set the timer based on their calculations:

That aside, I could complete the mission with 7 mins remaining when I reached 150 on first try. I felt this was interesting after just reseting over hundred times mindlessly for idols

Yep, I'm totally not going to try this for a loong while.

setting low quality mode get more loot speed

Done with 2 minutes left, with about 1400 idols
