Oh Wise One
I originally posted this in the feedback thread for the event, but I figured it would just get lost in there and decided to make a separate thread to test this.
As I am preparing for whatever I get of the random, or semi-random, quests from #30 and up, I have been looking at the lists on elvengems and how they are grouped, and remembering the complaints on the Beta forum about getting the same quests more than once in a row, and I think I have realized Inno's potential screw-up with the system. There are two sets of potential quests for #30-59 and #60-89 and then for #90+. There are two specific lines of text to intro the quests, one for each set of quests. With the exception of the goods production quests, both lists in each group seem to have the same quests, but because they have different intro text, they are technically not the exact same quest. For example, one of the Beta complaints was getting Produce X Toolboxes multiple times in a row and thinking they are getting the exact same quest each time. They probably were not because the first came from one list and then the next came from the other list, etc. To the coding and the RNG of the event, they are getting a different quest each time, even though it is requesting the same thing.
So to prove if this is what is happening, and Inno screwed up their programming this way, can people watch the text of each quest to see if what seems like the same quest two or more times in a row is actually not? I do not have a Beta account, so I cannot comment about this there, but can someone here who is also on Beta ask people about this there too?
In between my original post and moving it to this thread, I got the first four "random" quests and they alternated between the two lists on the elvengems site: left list, right list, left list, right list. If this is the pattern that continues with all the "random" quests, a player could easily get the same request multiple times in a row without it actually being the same quest each time.
@Fairy Dust if this holds true, Inno will need to fix this before the next event, if they want to avoid this kind of problem and complaint.
