⭐️💰 Monthly Challenge & Dailies Feedback Megathread

lynncrow • 19 February 2023 at 2:21 AM

I'm not gonna lie, I was going to try the 15 quests daily, but I'm a bit burnt out with the site. I'm not even going to try. I'm calling today a wash and just going to hope that I don't miss any other days.

ahgirltc • 19 February 2023 at 2:43 AM

oh man the 15 quests are so tedious, please lower to maybe like 5 or something.. :/ its not worth to spend that amount of EC to try and earn that 100cc lol.

stormwarden • 19 February 2023 at 2:47 AM

the little ec reward after completing 15 quests is almost laughably offensive considering the amount i had to spend to get that quest done -- and i did it knowing that i won't be getting this month's cc reward anyway because i returned from hiatus just before the valentine's event (currently only have 8/25 days)

elluwah • 19 February 2023 at 3:30 AM

I'm extremely disappointed that after all the criticism about quests, they've still allowed a 15 quest daily to pop up knowing full well that we'd all *hate* it

snowywinter • 19 February 2023 at 3:48 AM

as much as I think 15 Quests in one day is INSANE (i know some people have no problem doing it,) let me propose this... For the people that want to get creatures from the VEND anyhow just think of this Daily as incentive to get there a little faster. Just comparing the cost of quests to the cost of 100 CC won't be conducive to positive thinking. That's 15 tokens closer to getting another special creature ^^
(15 in one day though I understand is almost forcing people to pay horrendous prices in shops : / I was just hoping to put a positive spin on this for the people who *do* usually look forward to questing.)
The 100 CC at the end of the month will just be a little bonus.

(Yeah, I'm definitely not getting it. I've only completed 5 whole days.
Feeding, Clicking, and socials are the only things I'm guaranteed to complete. Though the game ones are good reminders for me! Some days somehow Asteroid or Trivia slip my mind.)

mrsgiggles • 19 February 2023 at 4:03 AM

Well, I'm skipping the quests today, which means I will never complete this month. I thought I'd do this for fun as I can afford to get the 100CC myself, but the quest and "approach the cave 20 times a day" ones are really tedious and turn a fun activity into a chore.

If this continues next month, I'll just give skip it.

alraune3 • 19 February 2023 at 5:15 AM

15 quests? You can't be serious. I'm out for today. The sun is shining and I'm going cycling now. 😊

mindwhiper • 19 February 2023 at 6:43 AM

Is that a joke? 15 quests it's insane. No way. Okay, free CC it's cool, but time I'll spent on 15 quests NEVER. EVER. BE RETURNED. I'm sorry but I have a life and today is the Sunday, good weather, issues with VPN and ah, NO MORE FEEDING, I burn out.

If this burnout was a goal of site, you can make it. If funny game becomes a stress factor, despite other users who justify 15, 20, 100 quest for dailies by profit in tokens, despite how much I LOVE this site, need to stop. Frustration, burnout, leak of time on game - this NOT funny. It's not a funny challenge with ourselves, its some kind of mockery. I'm sorry for sharp words, but I'm very, very disappointed in this stuff.

And hello, it's Sunday! Could you manually making quests on Sunday is somehow easier, there really are people with jobs who want to relax somehow else, this site is not the top of the world after all!

zoruna • 19 February 2023 at 7:16 AM

10 quests is already huge! We keep saying it! Why put a quest that asks to validate 15 quests!? It's way too much ! ><"

edit : Well, I finished the 20 cave visits and the 10 quests reluctantly, so I can afford to miss a day. I wouldn't today. I already sometimes spend over 100k/200k EC for the 10 quests, and even then it's only because I already have a few items. But 15 quests is way too much time and money. Today, I would not do the dailies. It's way too boring. It turns a daily challenge into a chore, it's too long and expensive at this stage

hikanu • 19 February 2023 at 7:26 AM

I can still skip two days and make it to 25 for this month.

Therefore I will be taking a break today. I am absolutely not in the mood for questing, least of all doing 15 of them. 😊

kediset • 19 February 2023 at 9:06 AM

I'm on board with the skipping for the day since I can afford it (Hopefully didn't jinx myself lol). That's insane.. I have been stockpiling on items in one store but I still end up having to buy from someone cause I get asked for the ONE item I didn't have.. that I've seen on occasion before that is nowhere to be seen the day I need it to show up..
I'm baffled they let the 15 quest one go on, especially with the amount of displeasure voiced for just 10.

wonder404exe • 19 February 2023 at 9:15 AM

Okok so I skipped the 10 quests because it was TOO much but then 15?!!?!! WHAT??? NOOOOO… i can only skip 3 days before i cant get any CC TwT 15 quests…

mithmel • 19 February 2023 at 11:04 AM

mindwhiper • 19 February 2023 at 11:10 AM

I join to "I hate quests" team.

It's awful. I've found some free time today and through over 3 hours completing the quests. Alright, I've got more tokens I seeking for wishlist creature, but... 15 completed quests, over 3 hours spent time, over 3000 fed creatures and 213 EC as daily reward.

It simply isn't fair. Does it right?

mysticgirl916 • 19 February 2023 at 11:50 AM

FIFTEEN QUESTS? I can handle 5, 10 has gotten to be not a problem, but FIFTEEN? That's way too much!

UPDATE: After all that, I did it. I'm still hopeful that the number of quests is decreased to make it easier on all participants

snowywinter • 20 February 2023 at 12:07 AM

wondering if something is being tweaked, the trial wrapped up, or if there's a glitch. There's no Dailies in the drop down for me. Just a green box (with the countdown.) >.<

newlife • 20 February 2023 at 12:09 AM

@snowywinter
Same here, I'm just assuming there's a bug that will be fixed soon enough.

captaincookies • 20 February 2023 at 12:10 AM

And if you navigate there using the link in the blog, it just has a spinning circle too

heatherm19 • 20 February 2023 at 12:11 AM

Impatiently refreshing the page... Nope still no new dailies... Hmm. Well dang, I might not be able to do all my dalies in the first hour if it doesn't hurry up! *pokes*

minnie298a • 20 February 2023 at 12:12 AM

Glad to see the no dailies isn't just a me thing.

heatherm19 • 20 February 2023 at 12:26 AM

Well this is taking way longer than I'd expected... @Ian @Orderedchaos Is this intentional, for a tweak or something, or is something wrong?

dragongirl02 • 20 February 2023 at 1:39 AM

Will we get credit for today (Monday's task) as tasks are not showing up? I can’t afford to miss another day if I go with the 23-day idea for February. There’s a chance I can make it, but I need credit for today to do it. I’m not even sure I can get CC this month since I skipped too many if we go off the 25 days since I was unaware of the new dallies till a few months month into February.

I’m willing to test and give feedback, which is one of the reasons I’m still doing it this month.

I’m also okay doing it later today but would say it’s not ideal as there is a risk I might forget unless the alert I set up works and I see it. However for others that have a full-time job and are not aligned with the EC timezone that may be a problem. I’m in one of the other Timezones so stuff is usually a bit awkward for me.

Plus I worried about doing any action without knowing what the day's tasks are.

murfijs • 20 February 2023 at 2:07 AM

the dailies are gone for me :c

heatherm19 • 20 February 2023 at 2:19 AM

I'm holding off on doing Trivia, Asteroid, etc because they could be tasks an I don't know what would happen if I did them before this gets fixed...

It's now 2 hours and 18 minutes past the time the new dailies are suppose to show up. For the sake of everyone who isn't able to continually check the site all day, I'm hoping that we just automatically get credit for today because of this issue. It might not be as big a deal if it was a 'full' month where we had more leeway, but being February it really does matter.

lothar • 20 February 2023 at 4:11 AM

Where are you dailies *sad*

mrsgiggles • 20 February 2023 at 4:23 AM

Imagine if this gets fixed at a time when people in other places in the world are asleep, and the dailies ask for 20 egg visits or something.

I'm glad I've decided to bail on the challenge. Between some really tedious and expensive dailies and the frequent bugs (the donation one - I donated twice for a total of 20 items, and then they reset it back to 9, forcing me to donate 1 more item for a total of 21 items), this is becoming far more of a chore than I expected it to be.

Shame, really, Doing the more reasonable dailies motivate me to feed, interact with people again, etc - reminding me of the early days of me here, and that was great.

alraune3 • 20 February 2023 at 4:30 AM

I would suggest that we all have some patience. After all, the monthly challenge feature is still brand new. I think it's normal for initial bugs to happen. I think that the Staff Team will certainly carefully evaluate our criticism, suggestions and wishes and then perhaps present adjusted tasks already next month. I remain optimistic for the time being. 😊

heatherm19 • 20 February 2023 at 4:45 AM

@alraune3 I'm definitely hopeful that next month will be better and things will be tweaked based on everyone's feedback. However *this* month is still an issue, the first month that many of us were hoping to earn our first 'free' monthly CC, on the shortest month of the year where missing one day because of excessive reset delays could be the difference between qualifying for that CC or not.

That said, unless something catastrophic happens I'll be able to complete the 25 days even if today is a wash, I haven't missed a day yet.

minnie298a • 20 February 2023 at 4:58 AM

Like heathrem19, I'm holding off on everything, as anything could be a task.

Those initial 10 Cave attempts could be vital.

At least it's now late enough in the day that the other site I play on has ticked over and started their event. Looks like I get an extra bonus time over there that I was going to hold off on until the Choc event here had finished.

mindwhiper • 20 February 2023 at 7:23 AM

What happened? I'm just wake up after long night shift and see what dailies is gone. Bug? Issue?
