The new Quest mechanics are so torturous, I am getting very close to quitting the game... You fixed something that was NOT broken, and as a result, ruined everything that was fun about Events... Not being able to actually complete all the stacked quests early, and not being able to plot and plan on how to finish in the shortest amount of time, was MOST of the pleasure... Now with time consuming quests, often coming back to back to back, there is no way to plan, or even go about your daily gameplay during the event... My scouts take 3 days, and I have had that pop up 3 times in a row - the other options are just as nasty... Research is completed! And using timers to get Crafting items I don't want, is silly...
NOW I am out of provinces to clear thanks to Back to Back Negotiation, and I have gotten it again. Other option, Tournament, does not start until tomorrow... You could at least toss in the Spire option with them, since you have included it with Province encounters...
The first incarnation was bad, but at least we could load level 1 buildings with possible quest needs, and have them ready...
If you insist on using current buildings, I strongly suggest you bring back the numbered stacked quests, and stop the silliness of these neverending quests... (And while you are at it, edit the tip that comes up while loading the game about "if you like smaller buildings, have many of them"... Cause that is no longer an option...
Extremely disappointed in the Dev Team.....
