omg is this like oregon trail?! :D
The first activity that had you playing with Matlal's Jewels lasted for what, 45 minutes maybe? And you have to complete all 5 for your team to get points? How is anyone supposed to be here all day every day for this event?
We can play the food game an unlimited number of times. So do we earn food each time we play, or just the first time?
o.k., sorry, I'm off to bed, 2 hours too late anyway. No idea, what will happen to me, if I haven't completed all 5 tasks today. At least I tried.
Click on the green bar, click on FOOD and play the game once until you're out of ammo, it'll give you your 1/5 activities done. The rest well we have to wait.
If you can't manage to collect the day's share of plot points, does that mean there's no point to whatever it is you managed to get done? One activity is not a whole lot if you can't be lucky enough to catch these obstacles.
It's 1am in Europe so we won't be able to finish the 5 tasks, today was half day, so how does it work? are we going to lose points because we need to sleep? or tomorrow at 6pm subeta time it'll reset the tasks to 0?
Here's another suggestion, people need to know if what they're doing is impacting team progress. The map part really ticked me off because I aimlessly clicked around the site with no purpose, and saw nothing as a result, yet the bar progress still climbed. Did I help? I have no clue. If there's gonna be future 'obstacles' like this, it'd be nice to know if we're having any effect on the progress. Missing out on points because of this is going to tick plenty of people off.
I just can't understand how this works. What ARE the 5 activities I need to complete? How will I know what I have to do? All I have is the map image...
So to complete all 5 on any one day you basically have to live here?
I'm so confused, it told me I had to play Matlal's Jewels and I did - I sent the score. But now it says I did 0/5 things, and it has a picture of a map instead of any other tasks.
its 1 am and i wont be able to collect all points today if activities are time-based. Wont sit here until 4am hoping to get next one. nope
So basically, it's luck. You keep the page with the map open and refresh and hope you're online when an obstacle hits. Great. I can't be online all day.
I'm kind of concerned about "you’ll need to complete 5 daily activities if you want that day’s share of plot points." How can I be sure when we can start accumulating plot points? I'm at 2/5 activities so either the other 3 will magically come out before the end of the day or we're not supposed to be able to get plot points today? And are all available activities guaranteed to appear consolidated on the trail page or at least give some inkling of any activity we might have "missed"? I picked up a map piece during the initial convo, but there's nothing explicit on the trail page telling me that that was one of the "obstacles."
Things are just very unclear to me, and I wish there was some nice and neat consolidated place to clear things up, but there doesn't seem to be one. I guess Rah's post kind of helped, but couldn't that be in the blue box on the trail page or in the news post or on some official board instead of me having to dig through all the news comments for it?
I just hope there's stuff for people to do to get the 5 activities done... cause if it's meant we have to be on all the time a lot of people are going to be pissed.
- we've made the progress bar now at the top of the page which will alert you to obstacles as you play around the site, so my suggestion of ping threads is suddenly redundant! Please do participate in the team threads in General, though!
This is utterly confusing! A bar with the wagon appeared on top of my page. Clickable. I thought, it was time to gather more food. But I still am at 2/5 (1x food and found 2 map pieces - well, REs not actual items)
team gold for the win, but i am soo sleepy,i'll do it again in the morning!
If we have to make ping groups and threads etc can we please have a foum for the event :/?
1/5 Activities...
clings to Saggitarius' coat TELL ME WHAT TO DO! sobs Tell me what to do-hoo-hoo-hoooooo... sob, sniff, choke, wail
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO FIND THE SECOND ACTIVITY!?!?!?!?
I have gathered food over and over and all it keeps saying after I play is you have gathered food for your team and I go back and it says 1 of 5 activities and I dont know how to get to another activity sigh
Here's an idea; Checklist of things to do during a plot. There's never a sense of direction with these things. I'm pretty sure I just got assed out with the map pieces because I had no fuckin idea what I was supposed to be doing. Confusion seems to be a common element with plots on this site.
i didnt even SEE a pineapple haha. well looks like my list is missing something
The site should ping us so we know when there's an obstacle, right now we gotta refresh continuously to know when to help :s
Well this is. Extremely confusing.
Oh! Thank you for the bar at the top of the page! That is really, really helpful! :D Also, thank you for the addition information about all of this! (:
here's some helpful advice (UPDATE):
banana - 25 points hambone - 50 points spiky fruit - 75 points large ham or turkey- presumably 200 points
Ty love u
The tiny smiley face on the pineapple and then it wobbling upside down... why do I have to shoot it why can't I just pick it up ;-;
MATLAL and I'm ADVENTURE CAPTAIN
YES i knew i made the right choice picking Blake :D
Wait... it told me to play matal's jewels, and I did. Got like 20k points and sent the score... yet it does not count as an activity? Am so confused!
PSA: Every food item has a different worth.
SPOILER (click to toggle)
Banana 25
Ham 50
Durian 75
Pineapple 100
Turkey 200
...right after I post that, they add a link to it at the top of every page. :P
I feel like there should be a link to the event page from the Omen Islands map. That's where the whole thing started, and I actually went back there to talk to Saggi when the news post said to, but he's gone.
Do we have to do the max 5 activities each day for it to count? Because so far I've only been able to play the food game. I've had NO other activities pop up, and it's too late for me to be hanging around waiting for something to happen.
If this resets at midnight, I and a lot of other players are not going to be able to complete all 5 activities for today. Are we going to miss out on something if we're not able to do this?
I only have 2 done out of 5?
Okay I wasn't told anything so I have no idea what the 3rd activity is but I have to skip out for now so hopefully I can still help later.
So is there a thread for Team Steele?? or is someone planning on starting one?
- I think it's a turkey & it's 200pts. :)
I am so confused right now! I started to look for map pieces, but now the map is finished 5 minutes later. Does that mean I don't get to find any of the pieces? What exactly will I be able to do? Anything at all?!?
I got a map piece! It's randomly generating the quests, me thinks.
here's some helpful advice:
banana - 25 points hambone - 50 points spiky fruit - 75 points large ham - presumably 100 points?
Told me to play matal's jewels, but it is not working for me.
Wondering for those that can't be on right now will they still get a chance to complete everything? because we're going kind of fast Lol. We don't have a 3rd activity yet do we? I don't see anything
THIS IS OREGON TRAIL MY INNER 90S KID IS SCREAMING
Instructions, and clear visual cues. Only one of the four progress/health bars on the page is clickable, and it looks identical to another. Either A) you notice "food" is clickable", so you expect "energy to be clickable too and assume it's broken, or B) you see that "energy" isn't clickable, so why would you expect "food" to be clickable? Either way it's confusing when it doesn't have to be, and there are simple ways to avoid this kind of mess.
You have completed 2/5 activities today.
yep got a piece of floating map
I'm pretty confused, gotta admit. How much of this is going to depend on our being here for when obstacles are hit? I have a lot of free time at the moment, but I'd really hope that people who don't won't be unable to do as much for their team. x: I also don't really understand -- does the food game only count once (per day, maybe)? All I've been able to do is play the food thing..
I think this is a potentially really fun idea, but I really wish there had been more official explanation. I think an edit to the news post or trail page that explains things more thoroughly would be great!
