R170

R170 is at TS ... so and the new DQs.



There are 3 quests and 3 sequences for each of them ... or 9 in total.
You can play them all or some of them ... it is your decision.
The look nice and the rewards are nice ... if you don't like the quest you can switch it (all 3 independently). They are not random ... they are switching in same order.
The only downside is for F2P ... they must spend andermant for each quest and each sequence or play whatever they get.

 

Seems cool... What about the knowledge, do we still get something?

 

I just went to TS again ... and I switched to one of my alts ...
Yes you are getting Knowledge ... i will test if the mentor bonus is giving x3 of the quest reward.

BUT ... what I noticed ... pissed me off!!!!!!!
I get leg equipment with my main character but with my noob I get Gilded clover ... WTH!!!!! (facepalm)



EDIT

Yes it is x3 for all of the quests ... in this case 250x3 and 150 x3

EDIT

correction it is 1 clover XD

 

Thanks! The clover thingy seems so cool, i cant seem to get it from gamble... so it would be so nice

 

waiting for those people who will say: nerf the system! 9 glided cover is so op, payers will be so op. tbh its much better because f2p has pretty much 0 chance for those covers.

Edit:
Its actually 1 glided cover trak. If it was 9 it would have the number next to the item. The number under the reward is the amount of challenges you need to complete in order to get it. In this case its 9 challenges

 

Of course it is 1 clover ... when I saw the rewards at my alt noob i went into "insanity mode" XD
He is too weak ... so i have no time to play more than this

 

I learned my lesson, Always bet with 1 gold each time. I mean the 5 blue ess you get is so worth it. The chances to get that glided cover are so low but at least with the new daily challenges you can get even more armor gems. Not like I have any.... But I do have 100 ess I got from the jesters just lost like 100 gold.... ye...

 

It seems that the bonuses for completing challenges are semi randomized. When I logged in to TS, my main had a legendary for 9/9. When the new dailies came a half an hour ago, I got a clover sitting in the 9/9. If the clover shows up at a rate of once every 3/5 days, that alone will make this change to the DQ system totally worth it... I can't wait to start closing the gap with the heavy P2Ps that have pure 40% armor gems and tons of % speed gems. This gets a big thumbs up from me.

Also not mentioned above, completing the daily quests give you buffs related to that category. In the first category, you get a temp buff for increased gold and HP. The second buffs your Realm Frag drops and resistance. The third buffs your honor point gain and reduces damage from players.

 

I like this update.
Updating 50 silver reward to Gilded clover is indeed a good move.
But, is the gilded clover reward only for level 50 players or for players of all levels?

 

The rewards are different, I have a level 22 character that only gets cummulative rewards upon completing 4 or 5 of the daily quests, a slightly higher one goes up to the rewards for completing 6, so yeah, the available cummulative progression rewards are smaller for smaller levels, which, on a personal point of view, I find fantastic.

 

I have lvl30-31 char and dont even get leg item as reward. Only EO item (pink) and some stuff.

 

They said today in Twitch ... lower levels are getting less ... also the quest tiers are like this:
Bronze tier - up to 25
Silver tier - up to 40
Gold tier - up to 50

I find this acceptable ... low level characters should not be able to get more than bronze tier ... and you know why XD

 

This looks too good to be true! Expect a nerf!
PS: What about the mentor bonus? Is it still there?

 

So, i forced to play PvP to complete daily challenges?

 

No, you are forced to PVP if you want the top bonus from the bonus items. You can get the other 5 by just doing PVE.

Like it or not, PVP is a party of the game and if you want the very best stuff, you need to play all the games facets. It may not be worth it for a legendary item, but a little bit of PVP for a covert is a small price to pay... You don't even need to win the PVP matches if you pick the PVP DQ that just require you to participate in PVP matches.

 

I am aware of that.
I played sometimes PvP when i must (wisdom), and was so ''violently happy'' to play against PtW marshals in ''nice balanced'' picking mechanics. Sometimes i need approximately 1 hour to finish the challenge.
In PvP i get nothing for the caracter exept honor points for PvP, right?

 

Basically, but look at it this way... You will never need to do another PvP match if all you want is your wisdom books. You only need to PvP if you want the 9/9 bonus item (a legendary item or a clover if what we've seen so far is right).

 

What else can I say... If i am forced to play in that way, i will play, but with a boxing bag on my left side.

 

But you will now have much better way to get wisdom. Wisdom is first bonus, so you do money or ess daily just once and you will get your wisdom. This system of daily quest offers the fastest way to get wisdom lvl50, you just need to finish ONE daily... easy way is to do first in money line (craft, melt or kill mobs).

 

Interesting and exciting new changes are coming up with r170 (albeit it be plagued with some "new" bugs). The new New Moon event will add a new dimension to the events that we have been playing all this while.

However, I anticipate that having to choose the white vs the dark way will spell some trouble when trying to find groups, especially for the sparsely populated servers. It is already difficult to find groups to farm with and now with limited flexibility of event boss and time constraint, groups might be harder to get in.
Fingers crossed though, that this step in introducing changes and new events will incite players to come back from their self-imposed exile

The low server population plus merging issues have being bashed out in the forum earlier so I hope this post does not ignite another similar frenzy. Though, I would like to hear some thoughts on how individuals/friends' group/guilds plan to organise their runs in the upcoming New Moon.
