I propose a reworking of the the weekly quest of the portal so that it doesn't count the village portal.
As of now the weekly quest amount to asking the question :
Do you have enough dragon scale to go to the village 30 times (its 2 portal by key (back and forth))
Its a stark contrast with other quest and the spirit of the quest since generally i complete this quest in 5 min.

That why i propose that we don't count the village key in the weekly quest.

sure, sure
After the quest has been made easier twice thrice, I'm sure it being made harder will go over very well. BrunHehe
(There are less active players than us, who do appreciate the "easy" way out even if it is expensive.)
oh right, three times. The quest being reduced from 100-120 to 80-100, and then whatever it is now.
And now portal cooldown is half of what it was and Special Promise being more accessible.

two of the other weeklies can also be done in minutes / a couple hours, so EstelleShrug

Can’t be bothered to do 200K enemies with Rage mode or open 120 chest hunt chests or do what 24 daily quests?

(I think they're cool with the daily quest one)
this thread is about the portal one being "too easy", after all
(even if many others disagree, outside of the endgame)

The other weekly that can be done in hours doesn’t just require you to just have enough dragon scale. They require active gameplay. Also, hours of gameplay is very different from just minutes

Portal is quick and easy, if I’m unlucky with armoury chests or i use them for upgrading then I’ll wait again next week

Yes but that depend on where your at, if you are far on the game its normal to have an easier time doing quest. Its the progression. What I am talking at the start, when every quest is "hard". This quest is not tied to your progression, but is just "easy" from the start.

at that point, people don't usually have a stockpile of Dragon Scales to just burn on a weekly quest 😅
most people just do the quest using other portals and the Village is used as a last resort

#

Seriously? Are you really asking for more homework

mighty vapor
#

Well it depends on people, but for a player that does the daily quest he can easily accumulate more than enough every week. + you also accumulate them for when you don't have this quest. So really anyone can just burn them, the moment they do it isn't really relevant, the problem is that they can go from 0 to 60 portal in 5 min. It just make this quest trivial.

seems unwise
which is why people don't typically do that

#

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

iron fern
#

Aren't many things in this game trivial, I feel like there's a good balance here that spread across where you are in the actual game

#

For the record, I agree with most things you are saying

mighty vapor
#

The problem us that people can ... What makes it trivial is that you just play normally, without thinking about it, and when the quest will reset you just pay. Its the possibility that makes it easier, so even if its not the best thing to do, in a pinch, you can do it.

#

I mean if too easy bothers you, you can reroll it... you know instead of proposing to make everyone else sufferokayge

iron fern
#

Fair suggestion. It is a single player game

#

Im sure the intent of the game isn't to make it as difficult as possible and the most time consuming which is probably why some things are difficult and others are easy

mighty vapor

#

And it's that gambling hit, when you get an easy portal weekly, im sure its similar to hitting a jackpot

#

And if you are a person that rerolls hoping you get a portal quest, you could end up with an even worse quest which gives the reroll a purpose

mighty vapor
# zealous flint I will and am going to "belittle" feedbacks saying "make the game harder"

Well If you think that balancing a game is only about making it easier, than you are wrong. At this point while do you even play. A game is a challenge. so if something is too hard i would say it , but a game to easy is i think just as bad as to hard.
Also treat people with the same respect they treat you, even if you don't agree with their idea. Its the basis for discussion. So even if i don't agree with your opinion that a game should only be made easier I won't belittle your feedback.

zealous flint
#

I didnt intend to disrespect you... it was a genuine recommendation to reroll portal quest if you were up for a challenge.... without expense of anyone

iron fern
#

People of all ages and skill level play games which is why some games have a difficulty level but that is so you can tailor the game for your individual experience. Rats suggestion seemed like a legit one

#

Fact: the quest is easy but I like when I'm lucky enough to get it

mighty vapor
#

No, I see your point but what i don't think is good about this quest is that it require no gameplay, just paying materials. What i critique is not just the difficultly but also that the quest is honestly boring when you use the key.

mighty vapor
#

I think such luck should be assumed, with a deliberately easy quest, but not this quest.

zealous flint
#

You can choose to do it in a effortful way ie 45/60 (BS+AH+Dimension...etc)

Killing village would, for instance, inactive players rerolling a portal quest => CH, that could cost them 10 feathers right there...

mighty vapor
#

Yes but I don’t think we should take the 10 feathers for granted, just as you don’t get the 4 dragons eggs every days

If he wants some challenge. Better play dark souls on hard mode

pale pivot
#

No

#

Just no

#

I like village portal counting towards the weekly quest

mighty vapor
#

What I want to say has nothing to do with liking but it is about balance. I think the game would be objectively more balanced if this “exploit” was removed

pale pivot
#

If its a portal, it count

#

Portal racism?

pale pivot
zealous flint
#

I'm still working on the "shouldnt take feathers for granted" part

mighty vapor
#

Gonna be clear about what I said :
when I said “shouldn’t take feathers for granted” I meant that the quest being hard/taking time is not a bad thing and that the player not having them every week is ok.
Also what is said about balance is that currently there is one quest that is so easy compared to the other that removing the key might be a way to equalize the difference of difficulty.

Granted there is more mats needed but if you are in a part of the game where you need scales to complete the quest it often isn’t worth cause there are better uses for scales in this game especially early on.

mighty vapor
#

The problem is not about paying a price, it about only paying a price afterwards there is no gameplay. The rage one implies gameplay while the portal one implies going back and forth between 2dim for 5min.

zealous flint
#

so don't use the key, no one forcing your playstyle 💀

iron fern
#

Dang, this is still going...

#

Technically using the village key is gameplay

zealous flint
#

The quest allow both solutions, why so obsessed with getting rid of one

iron fern
#

Please dont let the next suggestion be to get rid of offline earnings because it isnt gameplay

stark wedge
#

lol

#

Yeah his logic makes no sense.
