Dear Humans and Elves,

Please let us know what you think about our 'Fellowship Adventures with a Twist' we announced.

You can read the full post here!

Looks like a huge improvement and I might actually give FAs a whirl again... I've only ever participated once with full throttle, then halfheartedly the next, and was left so traumatized by the extra clicking and declining and rushed mistaking that I decided to try to erase the awareness of their existence from my head, which I had somewhat succeeded at.

Fellowship Adventures now has a nice new Questing system!

Here is the EPL Guide to this F A together with our spreadsheet:

In Beta, the prizes included Phoenix Artifacts for stages 2 and 3!!
I hope the Live version does the same - but it is not guaranteed; there is a disclaimer in the Beta Announcement saying that the Live version may not be exactly the same.

This looks like a fabulous improvement. Some of my Fellows are wondering whether it will work on mobile?

The EN Forum Moderator answered this question:

Yes, both app- and browser- friendly. You will need version 1.83 or above on the app. 1.83 should be available for everyone now.

Well done! I am glad the FA quests cycling has been addressed, I hope this will make the FA a more enjoyable and team building experience for all. As it was intended to be.

Still needs work.

Why not allow, stacking?
Following with the example given; Invest 10 Kp to any kind of AW.
If you spend 100 Kp to any kind of AW, you get 10 Badges, instead of having to click countless time to add the Kp, then click on the 1 Badge gained.

This will speed things up a lot more

Oh I like this idea! Makes for a long time spent otherwise...

Here's the answer that was given by the Community Manager "Marindor" on the beta forums when this was addressed with the devs: (since I don't play beta I can't get an actual 'quote'

Hi guys,

Thank you all for your feedback so far! Regarding the questions about stacking productions and mass-collecting for multiple badges: This is not possible and also won't be made possible. Fellowship Adventures are something you'd have to actively/purposefully participate in. Therefore strategy and planning and communication with your FS should be required to work together on this effort. Producing particular badges should be something you're doing consciously. So you're collecting the things you need for a badge, then wait for the badge, and then collect your next badge (if you had a few running simultaneously). We want it to be something you're actively engaging in and thinking about, instead of just collect everything at once like you'd normally do and just start new productions.

Good. Too many people want everything handed to them for no effort these days.

Yes, what Sir Sqirrel said!
i think sounds like a very good improvement
Thank you to the programmers and all who help... awesome!
i am very happy, happy

I completely agree! Why play at all if everything is done for us with no effort from us except logging on & clicking a couple of times? How boring it would become!!

 

[Socrates28]

I do not play Beta so I am looking forward to the new system on Tuesday. I can't tell you how many badges I screwed up by mis-clicking in previous FA's. This should help everyone easily participate, in a lot of cases just by doing what we normally do, and in my book participation of members is of prime importance regardless of the prizes achieved or not.

 

[SherG26]

Thank you for listening, and improving what was a common issue with many players. Anything that makes the Fellowship Adventures more fun for more players is welcomed.

 

[MsScarlet]

I like this idea, but I'm a little confused as to how the box works. is it supposed to eliminate losing out on a badge because you didn't have the correct picture up when you collected? do you click a box for a specific badge before you collect the goods? help

Whenever you collect something, it automatically goes into to the correct quest box. When you have everything you need for one Item, the Quest Icon lights up to notify you; then you quickly claim that Item, and continue. If you have got everything that you need for an Adventure Item, and do not claim it but continue to harvest the components, they will be lost.

If you spend 100 Kp to any kind of AW, you get 10 Badges, instead of having to click countless time to add the Kp, then click on the 1 Badge gained.

And if there's no stacking, then spending a 15, 20 or 30 kp instant is a waste when used for Wonder Society badges.

Without stacking, the end result is the same, just with more unnecessary clicks. We still have to plan what we're making and participate as a group. If I have 50 little workshops cranking out toolboxes, I still get 10 badges. So why is it necessary to make me stop after every set of 5 (hopefully without overcollecting by accident), open another window, claim the badge, close the window and then resume the next collection, repeated 10 times? The only drawback I can see with stacking is that it could make the goods portion of the spell badges inconsequential. For all other badges, stacking actually makes more sense.

With that said, this seems to be a vast improvement over the previous cycling experience. Still seems tedious, but much less so than before.

Another possible issue is now we'll also have to keep in mind how many of each thing we've already collected so we don't overcollect. I can tell that I'll be opening that window constantly to double-check how many things I still need before collecting from the workshops.

If you have got everything that you need for an Adventure Item, and do not claim it but continue to harvest the components, they will be lost.

Just to clarify, this is if you are collecting more of the same items. You can complete multiple different badges and then collect them.

 

[Deborah M]

Am I understanding correctly? Are there really complaints about having to collect a badge before collecting more of the same? Before that meant complete collecting for a badge and then clicking through a 12 or 15 or whatever amount of other badges to get back to the same badge. I know I have certainly accidentally clicked on 1 too many collecting in the past and messed up not clicking through all the other ones to get back to what I was trying to collect. I think this is totally AWESOME by comparison. I'm really looking forward to this FA when I am one who hated it before. I don't expect the game to do everything for me or it wouldn't be worth doing at all IMO.

Oh fine, so I'm lazy but we've had drama during FAs. So not a good thing!
