Balance Snake Quests

I support !
And the way to handle it using tiers sounds great too! That way we could choose if we're up for a challenge or not :D

There is another similar suggestion asking for a check to see if you have a hunting party, while I did not support that idea, this seems important for newer players. I had a lot of experience from Lioden so I didn't have much of an issue, but that shouldn't be the standard expectation.

The suggestions here are more in line with what I'd consider reasonable, so I do support this.

100% would love if we could pick tiers. Also agree with making the snake skull cheaper while making the price payouts feel more fair.

I don't think quest times should be shortened, but would 100% agree with having quests stack up. Up to 3 days, 5 maybe at most, but I'd probably vote for 3. (So by the third/fifth day, you'd have a few quests built up, but would still only do one at a time, so as to not potentially break overlapping quests). I'd also suggest, to make it fair, that you only get another quest when you've actually logged in, rolled over, and got another from the quest snake. I've had instances where I only just complete yesterday's quest within an hour or two after rollover. It would be great if we didn't have to miss out on SC just because of instances like that. I'd even take reduced SC for it being late, it'd be better than nothing.

Fully support.

Lately, the only thing I've gotten is hunt quests and it's always 7, 8, or 9 hunt quests. I literally have only gotten them for the last week. It's exhausting, frustrating, and not really worth the limited reward. However, it's even less worth wasting a snake skull, especially when so far it's just likely I'll get ANOTHER hunting quest for 8+ hunts.

I'd really love some options so we could tweak what kind of hunts we get and the tiers idea is a good one.

I support this.

Tiers to quests sounds great.  Fight quests give me more trouble than hunts because I have a lot of time.  I don't agree that hunt quests should check for nested females.  You can send out a partial team and still catch critters.  I do agree the snake skull is far too expensive for Wolvden.  But I won't drop 150 silver on snake skulls in Lioden and the rate of currency gain is much higher there.

I got another addition.

I don't know if this happens with other slay quests (probably?) since it depends which biomes you have unlocked when you get it. But I think you should be able to find at least 2 enemies of whatever group you need to get such a quest. Today is the second time I got the "slay marine animals" quest but I only have the Tundra - so I have one chance since the only other 2 marine nps are in the Glacier which I am still discovering. I am lucky enough to grind for the encounter but for more casual players that is really frustrating.

With the explore quests, I agree, those are really tough to complete, especially if it's a more difficult prey.

But with the hunts, not really, you can still make 9 successful hunts with just one team. If you can't, then you're not doing things efficiently. Split the team into more. If you don't have any because they're pregnant, it's not a fault of the snake, you gotta plan ahead and count on the option. You can also nest the wolf on the last day evening, so you can still use it.

So, overall, yes on higher reward on explore and it should consider your options, but no on the hunts. You're getting reward for something, that you should be doing daily to feed your pack anyway, so why even higher reward for that? :)

I think the problem with hunting quests is time. The 8 sucessful one take a minimum of 4 hours with 8 check-ins.  Not everyone has time for that, and that's if every single hunts brings results.
