Ridiculous quest - 4000 damage in fort in a world where Fort fights have very few attendees.

Half a dozen attackers and despite trying as hard as possible, not a single point of damage>

Something has to be done with dead worlds - Mergers should be prioritised

its 4000 damage TAKEN as in you must lose 4000 hp yourself, it should be possible even in dead worlds, but more generally speaking my advice is dont play dead worlds

I think I'd rather have can of spinach rather than all other chests. But I think if you get wisdom potions, it would be better than all of the sets of this event.

I got 3 cans of spinach, 1 potion, 1 unique chest and 1 bond letter (but the 1k bonds one, so from stage 9k :'P). I'm not commenting about if it,'s bad or better than something else though, it's just that, statistically speaking and if I'm not mistaken, per try at the stage 1.5k there are supposed to be 43% chances to find something else than a set item, and 57% to find one. The chances to not find any set item 6 times on a row are supposed to be 0.43^6 =0.006 (so 0.6%) which is veeeeery low, compared to the 99.4% of chances to find at least one set item among the 6 prizes. That's why I was wondering if there wasn't a problem in the way randomness is handled. But well, if I'm the only one to have this kind of results 6 times in a row, I guess it's just me who is defying the odds lol.

Edit : ah, I've just lost my "streak": I got a pulaski's scarf !

Depending on the world you play, you might hit a win streak rather than a loss. Just look at the positive of it. But for me, I wish I had your streak.

I said the same thing in the beta forum but they released it as-is.

This is just wrong. You can't give items that are better than last year's sets, but make the gameplay worse than the 2023 set... I get the direction, and it's good that bonuses aren't being doubled every year, but the free set is just poorly handled. Btw the design improved a lot :) I've...

According to some players, it looks like since we have 3 weeks, we get to do a bunch of battles

I mean it's not an impossible quest. You can do it even in a dead world but there should always be two choices. Not all players like to PVP so giving them another choice of non pvp quest will be more fair.

Agree, and the strange thing is they gave two similar choices at the very end - why? Anyone can argue that option X over Y because of the time to get the products, but any higher level char probably has 100+x of those items just laying around. There might be more of this weirdness if they're just using AI-slop to make these quests

I play in an inactive world, so it doesn't really matter lol. But yes that's not bad especially the bonds and potion, plus there are still a lot of days before the end of the event. I was just surprised to see the total absence of set items despite the % announced. For you too BTW, I'm sure you'll find some potions and other stuffs you're hoping for before the end of the event, there's still time.

You talk about getting 6 items that are not sets? What about getting 1x Knox belt, and then 3x Knox shoes in a row. Sometimes the randomizer works this way and you get a bunch of something for a while until it changes to something else but in general by the end of the event you would start to have a pretty avg value for the items you get even if now it seems so high.

Well, yes it was already more or less what I concluded in my previous messages. But actually, the fact to find the same item 4 times in a row doesn't really surprise me anymore in this game : when we look at the % it's suspicious yes, but the randomness in this game makes this rather frequent. It's like when we find 3-4 times in a row the same quest item in clicky events, personally it happens to me rather often, same for finding 3 or 4 same hats etc. It never happened to me at 9k stage though; a bit harsh if this happened to you especially if you dislike the loot, cause it costs a lot to play at this stage :hmf:

In any case, 6 times in a row with 0 set item in this kind of event, that was a first for me.
Actually, after having found the scarf at my 7th try, I found (still at the 1.5k stage) : 2 lucky chest/box, 1 unique chest, and 1 iron clad chest. So surely not a bug, yes, yes, but it still felt weird to see that lol : 1 set item among 11 tries, where there are 57% of chances to find one at each try. It was like playing heads or tails with a rigged coin - where one side was favored- yet landing on the disadvantaged side 10 times over 11. I guess the only explanation is "randomness is weird in this game" lol.

But well, at my 12th try I found a pulaski's hat from 1.5k stage AND a knox bow tie from the free stage. As I told in my message above, there are still a lot of days to find lots of stuff :up:

Maybe you ran the worse RNG right now and from now on you will get only good items. This could also be a possibility.

"Only good items" I don't know, but I confirm I found almost only set items since last time at the 1.5k stage : in total with previous days, the count is now at 18 attempts among which 7 set items won.

I have done only 9k stage and i got only 1 item that wasnt set items. Idk how it is on other categories. Also from free i got 3 item sets from 1.5k stage.

Yes with the 9k stage that's not the same : if we count the % from there, there are 82% of chances to find a set item.
From the free stage, there are a bit less than 10% of chances to find one from the 1.5k stage, so not a very low % but not high neither (90% of chances to find something else). The probability for this to happen three times are not so low if you did it with enough tries.
Personally I'm now at :
- free stage (played 25 times) : 3 set items
- 1.5k stage (25 times) : 12 set items
- 9k stage (4 times) : 3 set items
I guess I'll stop to flood this thread with this subject lol cause things at 1.5k stage don't seem so weird anymore. Plus with this kind of number of tries, that's normal if it's not exactly the same than the announced values.
Thanks for your answers WesternCalin and asdf ! :-))

Thanks, that was my point: according to this it should open in the same town, but does not.
As it is phrased ("don't finish") it would be a choice between both quests, i.e, you should pick one of the two so they
should open at the same time?
Click to expand...
One of the quests requires an entire different questline because they put the wrong number. That is why you can do only 1 of the choices.
