Timers for repeatable quests
135 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 4th 2013 at 2:32 PM LadyWizard I can never figure out when my dailies are going to be ready so is there any chance of timers to say when the new quests are up?

Timers for many things, including repeatable quests, have been on the 'list' since before the last thing they programmed, and before the thing before that, and in actuality over 7 content updates ago and over half a dozen events ago. I think the 'list' doesn't exist. Or they just don't want to listen to the players of their games. Or they can't figure out how to have a quest log like in bw1 or how to program timers, even though they have timers for other things.

Every quest and cooldown have a 20 hour waiting period. So if you do all the quest at the same time they are also done at the same time and you can repeat them at the same time. I personaly find it a good system, I play at 9 in the morning (just after the token reset) and do all the quest then. And the next morning at 9 I can do all the quest then again with full energy.

This list contains POSSIBLE upgrades, I'll like to see those timers in BW2 but it's up to them to decide what to put in THEIR game. If that bothers you so much you can always program your own game. :)
Lvl 440 "Other Peoples Problem Solver!" 5565 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 5th 2013 at 5:48 AM Raymond my anger ERUPTED when I posted that last night after returning from a 2 day trip to notice a new event. And it taking over 3 hours to use all my energy and harvest my crops before they wither and request event animals and start my next pet quest and ask for help to get to the last island of the second square of the latest update. 3 hours or loading and reloading I counted at least 30 times and clearing flash cache and using each of the 7 different browsers that I use. This kind of thing always happens to me when new content comes out, and interestingly its 10 times worse when that new content is an event and not a new area, i.e. when the Islands came out I only I only had to load and reload and clear cache 3 times, but the last event before this had hundreds of people having problems. I wonder how event programming can be worse then their normal programming, oh, I know, they have to rush to put out the event, badly programmed or not. But as far as 'lists' of possible improvements go, when the companies I worked at had such lists, those lists were for thinking about the improvements, so when an update comes around we discussed all items on the list and said this will take such-and-such and if not implemented it would be re-examined for the next update and reasons why we might not do it would have to be defended. Here there has been over 13 updates since this was first asked for. Has a single person even looked at how to do it? Its not rocket science, they have done it before in their other games, they have timers here in this game for plantings and other things. THERE IS A REASON THEY ARE NOT DOING IT. I'd like to know why.

Lvl 440 "Other Peoples Problem Solver!" 5565 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 5th 2013 at 7:13 AM Raymond no, it taking three hours and a few dozen reloads to use a single bit of energy caused a whole lot of anger

Lvl 280 "Omnom Nom Nom!" 324 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 5th 2013 at 1:08 PM Ben Strijker And the chatbox is important how? All I can say is time it better, I take it to the extreme if I do not turn in a quest before 10 I wait the whole day just to turn it in before 10.
