Daily Assistant Update Feedback

[Rednaz]

First things first, great job updating the Daily Assistant.
I think it is great that you guys added some additional activities and even added an additional chest in there to work towards obtaining.

Now for the constructive feedback

1. The previous version of the Daily Assistant allowed you to do one activity multiple times to have it count towards the Daily Assistant goal.
As an example, previously there was a requirement where you needed to battle in the area X amount of time however, once your surpassed the required battles and even continued battling in the Arena those extra battles counted towards the goal for the assistant meaning instead of completing all the activities you could just do a few and then finish off by one activity specifically.

Is it possible for you guys to revert this change and re-introduce that back into the game? The reason I am asking is certain activities that were added to the Daily Assistant are going to make that quest one that will be uncompleted daily for not just myself but for a majority of people.

The Baal Battlefield is a requirement for meeting the Daily Assistant but most people are not online for this or cannot be even if they want to be.
A personal example using me, I work during both events so I can earn some money to spend on this game. Because of my work schedule I am not able to complete the Baal Battlefield requirement, I am sure there are many other people out there who are in a similar situation.

2. Caribbean Pirates is a great little event to participate in however, there is a huge disparity in there. The Daily Assistant quest requires that you Successfully complete 1 Caribbean Pirates voyage in order to earn points towards the Daily Assistant.

This is a little tough, not impossible, but a little tough to accomplish as there are many people like myself who just are not at the 500k-1m power level. It's a little bit harder for us to successfully complete a voyage when there are other people higher than us vying for our map pieces and the same rewards we are after with those map pieces.

Does the 5 levels above and below requirement apply in this zone as well?
Is there a way to maybe split Caribbean Pirates into two separate events like the Cretan Labyrinth battlefields are? Easy, for people between power levels 100k-500k and Hard for people 500k-1m and maybe Expert for people 1m + power?

Again kudos on the addition of activities to the Daily Assistant but I do hope you guys consider making some adjustments to the items mentioned above or maybe look into adding some additional activities that could serve as a viable alternative to Caribbean Pirates, Baal Battlefields and maybe even Guild Warfare.

I agree with Rednaz on the Assistant because I just finished moving from one guild to another and now cannot complete my Daily's because I don't have enough guild contributions to get a map piece and I need a map piece to get a guild contribution. I also cannot participate in Guild War as our guild is not a level 3 guild yet. Since several of the requirements are a timed event and many people can't participate at those set times due to work/sleep/family issues, you should definitely think about reinstating the multiple instances on one of the activities so all can be sure to have the capability of completing their Daily without having to participate in Cerberus/Ba'al or Guild Wars to do so.

As far as the Caribbean Pirates I agree that the smaller players tend to be victimized in this area. How about instead of all players just getting 3 chances to make a successful voyage, why not make it so you have an unlimited number of chances to cross successfully and if you have crossed successfully three times, then you are done. That way the bigger players will eventually get weeded out and the smaller players will still have a chance to cross as long as they keep trying. It also alleviates having to make separate areas based on levels like Rednaz suggested. There are many low-level players with very high power ratings in the game so that would be contraindicated.

Hell yes Relic! Amazing idea! I can barely get away with 1 successful ride a day! Sometimes, not even that!

Since the Assistant was changed, I can no longer obtain enough contributions for my guild, and can't get the map for the pirates. I'm only able to get 90 contributions, when I need 100 to get the map from my guild. I hate it now. Please fix it ASAP.

Also: The assistant shows goals for Cerberus. I can't do Cerberus, this happens at 3am for me, when I'm sleeping. Baal happens at 8am my time, which is when I'm getting ready for work (if I'm not called in early). The times for these events may be good for North America, but they are not too good for Australia. Can these times be changed, or new event times added?

[Vaki]

The times are actually pretty rediculous for North America as well, each time zone for different reasons. I know I can't do Cerb ever because I have a job, and sometimes cannot to Baal if my work runs over or I have to go to the store after work.

I didn't mind missing the banishment events before as I didn't miss out on rewards from Daily Assistant, but now that I am forced to miss them because of their timing, it dawned on me that their timing doesn't even make sense for being a North American server.

[Nix]

I'm a mid - sized player and have issues finishing the pirates quest. For small players that could really use the gems, its got to be nearly impossible. So having it as a required part of the daily assistant in order to get the gems is pretty tough. Pirates needs to have a few changes, the basis for being able to attack needs to be based on power - not level.

Also, once ships have sailed - players who are NOT in a ship should be unable to attack the players sailing.

something MUST be done to allow the smaller players to compete in Pirates...
and in fighting/challenging in the wild, as well... if you have been beaten up daily by only big guys,
who do you take revenge on? You don't have a revenge button on the ones you win...
but I notice that if I lose I still get POUNDED by the guy I just lost to...
Where's the FAIR in that?
