Endless missions for Dolores "leg".

Endless missions for Dolores' "leg".

[plain badger]

What mean endless? It works like all time, you can catch it 2 time per day

[idle tundra]

but it should only be once on new accounts.

[idle tundra]

Endless event. Every month.

[idle tundra]

Fix it

[full yoke]

meh, u will meet that mission even u at high level

just the head & body will be once ye

[dusty coyote]

Thanks for posting this @idle tundra!

@unborn bridge

[idle tundra]

👍🏻

[idle tundra]

2 times in a row 1 day

[dusty coyote]

[teal portal]

There must be 10k legs being bought and sold for every torso and 2 arms out there... Sad when a 12 hour immunity is requested instead of a leg when dumping rss

[idle tundra]

It's sad that I'm the only one reporting this bug, many who use this bug are happy with it.

[dusty coyote]

Hey @idle tundra - this should be appearing much less now. We did ahve it investigated a few times but they were missing the reset value each time. Done now

THanks for keeping on this, I really appreciate it

[idle tundra]

Toma, thanks for the answer! I noticed that this event only happens on 1 of my 5 accounts, i.e. 80% of players who choose "attack" could repeat this event. And the rest do not encounter this event.

[idle tundra]

😭

[idle tundra]

Mass trigger event for certain accounts. This is sales in 1 hour.

@nova kestrel

[hasty canyon]

i haven't seen that event on my acc for a couple years now

[idle tundra]

And many see and remain silent...Freebie Sir!

[limber merlin]

same i have not seen the legs event and despite constant betting never won an arm

anybody know the actual arm drop percentage?

[dusty coyote]

We will need to ad some method of controlling the appearance of this event over a set duration, perhaps via a cap or forced rotation @unborn bridge @nova kestrel

[wise lily]

what quest?

[idle tundra]

Usually it happens at the beginning of the game. If you choose one of the three options, it is repeated once or twice a month.

[wise lily]

ah

That why i got arm

[unborn bridge]

Hi @idle tundra May I know recently, how frequent do you see this surprised mission?

[unborn bridge]

I checked your account and number of surprised missions (for this mission only) looks ok. I can see that it may occur every 21 days.

[idle tundra]

Hi!
This happens not on my account AlfaR1, but on the account L'Gamma (the exact name is on the screenshot). And as soon as this event occurs, I send a report about it to this channel. And as this event occurs, it is immediately obvious that it is massive (many of these items are put up for sale at once).

[oblique basalt]

I think it is intended to repeat every month by design and not a bug, if it happen too frequently in a month then it's bugged

[idle tundra]

No, this is a bug. This mission should only be done once per game. Out of 5 accounts, only 1 of them repeats.

[oblique basalt]

Both my main and alt have this mission repeat but randomly like how surprised mission work

[torn gyro]

Once per game? But you need two legs to build the crew?

[oblique basalt]

They make it like that so people missed, can't beat or buy the leg can try again later. Same as the horse race for Dolores even when I already have Dolores it still repeat. All surprised mission can be repeat just their appearance chance is random and this leg mission is more common.

[torn gyro]

It's fun to have the missions reappear once in a while. Breaks up the monotony of the rest of the game.

[unborn bridge]

I checked both your account and L'Gamma. For L'Gamma account, do you receive this surprised mission every time you log in? Did you play it normally?

[idle tundra]

I didn't understand the question. I always play normally.

[unborn bridge]

when it is active, how often do you see this surprised mission popping up?

[idle tundra]

You kill the merchant, what are the repeat missions? It's the player's choice to buy 1-2 legs or blow up the merchant and get 1.

[idle tundra]

Who is active? I play them every day. As soon as it repeats I report it here.

[unborn bridge]

i mean when this mission is active.

[unborn bridge]

yes correct

so are you saying that after you complete it, it still shows up again ?

[idle tundra]

Yes yes yes. And not only me, but many others.

[teal wharf]

So you get the same mission multiple times on the same day? Or multiple days in a row?

[idle tundra]

Not just me, but everyone who attacks the PVE merchant. Once every ~20 days

[teal wharf]

Once every ~20 days is the intended behavior as far as I know

[idle tundra]

No, it is assumed that once per game.

[teal wharf]

I don’t see anywhere in this message where it says that this event should only happen once per account

[idle tundra]

I wrote this and Mit replied that it is so. In any case, it is nonsense that someone pays SB and he no longer has this mission, and the one who attacks gets infinite legs.

[teal wharf]

I think you are misunderstanding MIT’s reply. He isn’t “saying that it is so”. He is asking you if it is repeating after you play it. Legs are worth barely any starbux (and you only get one for attacking the ship) and the mission only happens once a month or so, so it’s not like you can grind massive amounts of bux from this. It repeats like any other mission does

[idle tundra]

I have 5 accounts. I bought a leg on 4 accounts. I attacked the merchant on 1. The mission is repeated only on the account that attacked the merchant. I think I understood Mit correctly.

So, every 20 days I farm 25 SB. And if I attacked the trader with all accounts (5) then 100 SB. In a year it is 1000 SB. Plus it is easy experience and resources.

These are sales for today only.

And this is yesterday. The one who bought "Dolores' leg" from the trader is deprived of a good profit.

[teal wharf]

🤷‍♀️ idk about you but running 5 accounts to “grind” this event once a month for only a 1,000bux/year profit… doesn’t really seem worth the time. There are much faster ways to grind starbux if that’s what you’re worried about.

Even just having the poker room sit on ONE ship for one year and passively collecting it will earn more than grinding this event on five accounts. We may be looking at this differently but I really don’t see the issue with it repeating

[idle tundra]

I disagree. The problem is that this is not a grind. This is a "freebie". And those who bought it are deprived of this "freebie".

[teal wharf]

I think I understand now. You’re not upset that it repeats, you’re upset that it’s not repeating on your accounts where you bought the legs instead of attacked to get them? I can understand that but I guess my next question would be why did you pay 100bux for an item that sells for 25?

[idle tundra]

Previously there was a different economy and this event did not work like this.

Before, everyone bought legs )))

But in fact, I am in favor of being able to attack a merchant once, otherwise the event itself loses all meaning.

[oblique basalt]

Hi Mit, Is the Dolore leg mission intended to be a one time mission per account or repeatable ? If it's repeatable then this post is not a bug but should be a feedback post instead.

[dusty coyote]

It is repeaable, but with a limit set on appearing only once every x days. This is not the case only if you DONT complete the mission

So i think there is a misunderstanding here

Ill need to close this report - please only post again if it appears more than once within 1 week if you completed it when it appeared. This does not include any times you completed it in the past that were not within 1 week.

[idle tundra]

Good day. I understand you. But why not make a limit of 2-3 meetings? Endless "legs" is not fair.

[proper silo]

Hi Toma, I think there was a bit of a misunderstanding. I think what Alfar is saying is that if a player chooses to buy from the merchant, then the merchant mission never shows up again on that account. But if instead the player chooses to attack the merchant, then the mission will pop up after x days as you have explained.

so the bug report is that the mission only occurs once on some accounts but it repeats monthly for other accounts. So Alfar is saying it’s not fair that if someone chooses to attack the merchant they can farm a leg every month, but if someone chose to buy a leg from the merchant, it never appears again and they permanently miss out on the opportunity to farm legs in the future.

[dusty coyote]

@unborn bridge thoughts on restricting this appearing based on encounters/count?
