Forwarded Automatically abort recurring quests setting

[ArklurBeta]

Reason

For those who do a reasonable amount of RQs, mainly the FPs ones, it's very tedious to abort 10+ quests (in later ages) to get the FP ones again.

Details

Similarly how there is a setting for the daily quest reset time, I would imagine a similar panel, but for the RQs. Here the game lists the quests (possibly their names?...), next to them there is a checkbox, and if it is checked, it means the game will give that quest to the player, otherwise it won't, it will abort the unticked ones automatically (and as stated above, it will still be included in the 2000 limit).

Balance

Everyone would have access to this setting, therefore it would be balanced.

Abuse Prevention

Everyone would have access to this setting, and it would only decrease the time for doing RQs, no other "side effects", and the 2000 limit is still applied.

Summary

Overall, it would be a win-win for both players and the servers. Less tedious task for doing RQs and less communication between the servers and clients.

Have you looked to see if this has already been suggested?

I've looked, found some similar ones, but they are very old, created way before the 2000 limit, which is a key factor in making this feature not being abusable.

Visual Aids

Provide a setting for players where they can select what recurring quests (RQ) they want to keep, the others are automatically aborted by the game, so they are still included in the 2000 aborting quest limit.

would be a dream

one addition:
should automatically be reset when entering a new age
(the quests have same names: Fnord, Unbirthday party, ...)
for the diamonds

after thinking a little bit longer about it I see a big problem with the abort number

let's say I am doing 3 quests (the age has a total of 15, so 12 would be skipped)
spend 150 FP, spend 200 FP, collect something quest

now I have spend 200+ FP
then I finish the first spend FP --> 12 quests skipped
finish the other spend FP --> another 12 quests skipped
the collect quest is finished with quest reward --> 12 more quests skipped
makes a total of 36 skipped quests where I would only skip 12 currently

Isn't it DNS?

Ideas to make yourself richer or make the game easier

 

[NandodeMC]

Isn't it DNS?

It doesn't make it easier, only faster. You still need to complete quests to get any rewards.

I have seen this and similar ideas before. Some of them might have been on the germen forums though. That was before they introduced the Quest abortion limit...

That's actually a great observation....I guess if a "complete all quests" button is included, it would solve the issue, but...feels a bit "workaround"-ish. I'll sleep on this one, thanks for bringing it up.

If I understand correctly what you are saying, then I have a solution

If there are 10 quests named a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j but you do 3 quest named b,f,i
then when you finish quest"b", the game in the backend starts quest c but aborts it immediately and it goes on
and when quest f comes, the game will not abort it, instead, the player will complete it and the cycle continues

@ArklurBeta, I am in favour of this idea. It doesn’t make the game easier to the point where it accelerates your growth, but it makes quest completing a whole lot easier imho. This should definitely be implemented.

So, how long before people would whine to Inno (or blame them) that they (the player) "accidently" got rid of a RC, or did not do it at all?

 

[Rosiemarrie]

I vote no. It would be a dream for a lot of players, but also a dream for those who cheat with bots. That was the reason for the 2000 abort limit on RQ and it would be great for them if you could just cycle the ones they want.

I disagree, because in fact for a bot it doesn't matter at all how much clicks needs to be done, you just need to setup / configure the bot once, then just press "play". Only legit players benefit from it really, bor botters...not much difference. And as for the 2000 limit, as I said, the automatically aborted quests are included in the limit, so the difference between a legit and bot player who put the effort to do RQs is going to be the same.

Or, in other words, it would be 2x better for botters but 50x better for legit players.

But inno would be doing the bots work, you wouldn't need it anymore.

if Inno would do their work then there wouldn't be bots anymore

 

[planetofthehumans2]

There's a difference between quality of life and playing the game. This is a quality of life request. Although you can say inno did take playing the game out when they did auto battle.

I personally like it, especially considering this point. This would add a disadvantage to using it. If you only do a handful of quests every day, this feature will be a major help. However, it is not the most optimal way doing it.
This is similar to when the aid button was introduced: It randomly selected a building to aid. This made aiding way easier, however it made it still worth it to manual aid, because then you could select the building you wanted to aid.
So if it would get implemented like this, you would still need to click through the quests, if you wanted to get most out of the quests.

My wrist will thank me for it if this were to be implemented. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is no joke.

That would replace "recurring" with "perpetual"...

Guess I didn't write that down enough times...
