    I think I'll pass on these. The content is too long for a side quest and the rewards are meh. There's 0 challenge to each fight, no interesting or unique node. Big time let down. back to focusing on act 5 i guess.

    I thought Kabam did a nice job rebounding last month - an interesting new mode (dungeons) that I came to enjoy, a rewarding sidequest (trials of the titan), and a useful in-game currency (dust). They also responded to feedback regarding excessive energy costs in event quest.

    While I haven't played the EQ to see how the map compares to past ones for energy, the first map doesn't look promising. The assignments are clunky and time-consuming, with unimpressive rewards. They force people to make awkward choices about sleep and energy refills. When the game is a grind (or even a burden) players will become disenchanted and walk away.

    I need 5-stars less than I did 3 months ago. A given number of shards (let's say 150) is less impactful to me now than 3 months ago. I now have to do twice as much work for half as many shards. It was poorly thought out, in my opinion. I think it would've been better received if it was one entry/path per difficulty, and the full rewards could be earned in one pass.

    Do you have to do all difficulties once to get a point for mission initiator or just one difficulty

    Seriously ???
    Rewards are way too poor for the time on it
    Mad Titan daily quest was great. This one is crappy

    And the cherry on the cake : the x-force crystal with 2* and a chance for 3* and 4* !
    I am a veteran and really don’t care about less than 5*.
    And for what I recently pulled from 5* (Sup Iron Man and King Groot), I doubt from the interest to hardly collect shards

    Just completed all the difficulties... its a pain... we are talking about 30-35 fights. since it will spawn twice a day, we are talking about 1hour to 1 hour and a half of gameplay to complete it.

    If you decide to play AQ and perform 10 fights averaging 2mins per fight, lets sum up 20 more mins

    If you have an AW, more 10 fights with 2mins per fight (20mins)

    That's 2 hours a day.

    Oh wait, I would like to complete month events too, and play some arenas... Damn... it's too much time Kabam. Rethink that please.

    Yeah, these are terrible.

    Garbage event. Triple the work for half last months rewards, we won’t be participating further.
  • MilkthewhalesMilkthewhales Member Posts: 81
    Garbage. Done 1 run through and I already want to kill myself it's that boring and such underwhelming rewards

    Yeah, no thanks. The trials are the perfect sweet spot. Once a day, only 3 fights. Rewards good enough so that you don't want to skip it.

    These Assassin Assignments are just too demanding.

    Thanks for the feedback! We can't only run the exact same event over and over, but it is good to know what you enjoy more than other events.

    At least give us more 5* shards from these events. I know it's free but come on 150? Trials was way better tbh.

    Constructive criticism - make more thanos trials / black panther trails and less of these ones.

    Thx

    “The Merc Missions each consist of 4 difficulties, and although you can (and should) play through them all, you can only contribute to the completion once per Merc Mission.”

    Why do these things more than once? I hardly consider one basic tier 3 iso a reason I should re play all of these missions
  • Carr0tsCarr0ts Member Posts: 1
    What about the fact that it’s been completed 100% for the first time and now every time a new mission comes up it already says 100% complete....
  • DrZolaDrZola Member Posts: 8,893 ★★★★★
    A simple suggestion: make the L1 revive a somewhat frequently occurring item on paths (or at least when DP/DPX ambush) in the assignments.

    It’s a nominal gesture that would be appreciated by the community—costs little, yet pays dividends in goodwill.

    simple question for kabam : i don't see any assassin mission ! is ther a problem ?

    I could do 2 assassin missions the first day ans since no mission has show up. i thought we had one out of every 11 hours ?

    How can i get the rewards if the missions do not appear ? please tell me it's a known bug and you have a fix ?
  • SpinowSpinow Member Posts: 2
    I have been notified about Merc Missions a few times since launch, press the button to go to fight, and nothing there. The timer has not run out, but I can’t figure out where to find these things. Is this a bug?? Not talking about the events, but the triggered alliance missions. Have the bag showing, and the mer message, but no fight ?

    I cant find assignments uptill now. How am i supposed to play if they dont appear?
  • The_Savage_AncientThe_Savage_Ancient Member Posts: 134
    Too lengthy unlike previous trials. Many people are giving this a miss.
  • RebabeelRebabeel Member Posts: 6
    Its not actually working. We are supposed to get 2 or 3 Assignments per day.
    Ive seen 4 in 5days!
    You are supposed to have a chance of triggering a merc mission.
    Ive seen 4 messages - but when you click 'Go to Fight' The mission isnt there.
    Ive completed 1 in 5 days.

    Its not working properly.
    Please can you have a look into it?
    Whole alliance is losing out on the rewards!! Not good!
    Not just me either....many saying the same thing!

    Kabam - please Fix this ASAP

    A second simple suggestion: have the assignments and missions actually appear.

    Or make that loot bag icon go away on my home screen.

    From KabamMiike‘s announcement:

    “But wait, last time these were pretty rare, and some Summoners didn’t have many chances to take part in the Tests of Valor. How have we improved it this time? Well, last time, it was based on collecting Valor, and the larger amounts you gained, the more likely you were to trigger a Test of Valor. Because you couldn’t trigger one when an Alliance Member already had, and the biggest chunks of Valor were to be found in the Event Quest, there was a lot of overlap, resulting in wasted chances. This time, it’s based strictly on Exploring Assassin Assignments, which means that as long as Summoners are continuously playing those events, your Alliance is more likely to trigger Merc Missions.”

    Might want to check that trigger. Seems like it might be misfiring.

    Remember how the majority thought Modok Lab sucked, leave it to Kabam to bring underwhelming content that is a bigger time hog. Their missions wasnt to bring better content or make the game more enjoyable, its to make garbage like Modok Labs a welcomed event.

    A brilliant strategy. Bring back crappier content to make the crappy content look less crappy

    I have completed Assassin Assignments to 100% many times and been offered the corresponding Merc Mission "pop-up" at least 8 times and it has not worked once for me or my Alliance Members. So you get the Domino pop-up and click "go to fight" or whatever it says and its never there. Major disappointment, has not worked for me once.
