Development Update #12

Posted 2021-08-26 07:20:32
Okay I went to do some battles and it seems if you get Meat Chunks as leftover from a battle it doesn't count toward your battle trophy requirement, but if you get a healing salve it does.

I have a hard quest to get two battle trophies. I just won a healing salve from a battle and it didn't count. So it seems like one of us is bugged (not sure which).

Won a battle against a level 13 Kermode Bear and got +315 EXP! Total energy used: 13. New HP after fight: 19. Won 1x Medicine: Healing Salve (#78492033).

Yeah, that's BS with the crafting. Gonna be interesting. Unlikely they're gonna change it at this point. I do like that if one quest hangs you up, the others progress, regardless. It is a bit annoying though.

Oh, sorry, I must've missed it :I
That just... ouch. Not nice. Luckily there should be plenty "low effort" recipes in the trading center, I know I've already sold countless "oak branch/saplings" etc. recipes to the Raccoon. So that's always a possibility.

The trophy quest though is just unfair in my opinion, especially now when we have quest leaderboard and sooner or later people will want to have (or keep) place in there. That quest is purely luck-based as there's nothing you can do to in terms of your own skill to be sure you can complete it. Luckily we have snake skull, but still...

Ugh, sorry to hear that, Lionel. :\

So I went back and checked my User Log and saw this:

"Won a battle against a level 19 Lunar Owl and got +491 EXP! Total energy used: 14. New HP after fight: 3. Gained 2 Lunar Tears. Won 1x Medicine: Healing Salve (#78458517). Fallow gained +1 smarts. Recovered a trophy: Glowing Talon"

So I didn't see the glowing talon at the time because I didn't scroll down far enough after the battle was over. I only saw the healing salve and the tears. So that was why my quest was marked as complete after that battle.

Sorry that I got people's hopes up. If healing salves and meat chunks aren't counted toward the trophy quest, this is much more difficult.

I still like the new change overall - it means more SC and more variety in what you can do. You can actually earn more than the snake skull costs now, which is nice too.

I have some minor dislike towards some of the quests, but it's something I can handle if I want to. The breeding, enclave, and trophy quests, though... Those are just egregious, and I would rather them not be a thing. The trophy one is too RNG-based and even more difficult than I originally thought judging from this conversation, and the other two can easily be obnoxious AF depending on how you play. I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking this way.

Love this update. The SC decor options were a little limited still before this, so seeing all this new stuff is really great. Inventory "clutter" is inevitable in literally any game ever made, but at least we have a handy raccoon you can sell to at any time.Β 

Quests being in the quest pool that don't apply to me does not bother me. Every aspect of the site is not going to appeal to you as a player, especially in a game where you have to define your own play style. Saying things should be removed because it is a quest you will never complete is an absurd complaint.

Complete the quests you can for the day and move on to something else. I got by the on site before this without taking a quest most days, so I don't think the SC impact is actually that great.

Thanks Devs for taking a stab at making questing more robust and attempting to add more opportunities for SC into the system.

@Ohemaa Check to see if there's any meds you need to research. If not, it's probably a bug.

@Moorish I wouldn't call it absurd. It's not as bad as I initially thought it was, but it's not absurd. It's one of the main stable sources of SC on the server, so yeah, it matters to some of us. It's an annoyance at this point, but I'll live with it. Just means I have to double check to make sure it's cleared, rather than just a one and done, we're all use to doing. Overall, as I said, I'm happy with the update, with the exception being, I honestly think the puppy stuff belongs in the enclave, not snake quests, and crafting shouldn't be so limited. I do the quests daily.
