Its mean the same if you make over 100 move you get less level 1 red boxe then if you do 30 moves im talking only about glory and look like the odds to get glory are better on the level 1 red boxe and level 2 green boxes then level 3 red boxes and vault

> [@Console Task System Update](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/console-task-system-update/8918/1):
>
> These changes are meant to improve the task system in several ways:
> 
> 1. Give new players a longer guided experience. Our old tasks used to end around player level 50. The new Quest tasks should last until about player level 150!
> 2. Increase the number of repeating tasks, so high-level players don’t see the same things over and over.
> 3. Make repeating tasks more challenging (on average - some are still easier than others), increase their rewards, and allow a maximum of 3 to be completed each day.
> 4. Eliminate the “stuck slot” problem high-level players experienced.
> 5. Put more emphasis on interesting army-building composition challenges.

@Mr.Strange, a question regarding tasks and levelling. As I mentioned [here](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/what-level-players-read-these-forums/9035/29) I have only just recently passed Level 150. In effect, I guess I won’t benefit from changes to the task list that created new tasks for players below 150.

Why I’m concerned about this? Currently, my list keeps cycling to a repeating set of battles that looks like this right now:

Path  
B. Win 20 battles using at least 3 unique Beasts  
C. Win 20 battles using at least 3 unique Constructs  
D. Win 20 battles using at least 3 unique red troops

Is this what a player of my level is supposed to be seeing?

While I do appreciate the challenge of creating new, interesting teams that benefit from Team bonuses (thank you for that), I can’t help but feel frustration that THESE kinds of tasks with their duration and design are for players who have a full set of troops that are appropriately levelled sufficiently.

Take for example Path C: Win 20 with 3 unique Constructs and Path D: Win 20 battles with 3 unique red troops. Normally, for a high level player the answer would be “Great! I can kill two birds with one stone and do both laborious tasks at the same time!” But I on the other hand am reduced to thinking “Please PLEASE Mr Chest kindly give me a CARNEX so I can clear this in 20 fewer battles not 40…please.”

So if one is not in the Talia or Draco category of progression, the experience I have is one of being foiled or hindered. I don’t feel the satisfaction of rising to the challenge of endurance, so to speak. I look at the task every day and think “Maybe next time when I’m more energetic.” I don’t think that’s the state of mind I want to be in when I’m playing this, really. ☹

We would like to thank all the folks who have had such useful & insightful things to say. And those who have been less insightful… well your thoughts still count! One part of the revamp was to change the endgame tasks such that you can only complete 4 a day, maximum. We’re very happy with that thus far, and don’t have any plans to change it. But there has been some call fo…

I simply do not like the win battles with team X tasks. One battle is fine, 5, 10, or 20 is just too much. Using the valkyrie I can earn about 100 souls a battle, and 10 gems for 10 wins with team X isn’t worth losing 900 souls.  
I prefer tasks you complete from just normal play, like invasion wins, gather souls, earn trophies, or 5 gem matches.

Most of those Tasks require 3 Troops, not 4. When it’s just 3 Troops, try and put Valkyrie in the team.

Now you clear Tasks AND collect Souls

And also try it against kingdom challenges. Most troops should be able to 1-2 shot the enemy so the match should go by fast.

3 troops isn’t so bad, but 10 or 20 battles using a team I may not want to play is tedious. At least they fixed the change team game freeze bug.  
When I first started I was desperate for gems, took over a month to save 500 for dragon armor. Now that I’m in an awesome guild I get 450 gems about every 3 days. Now I concentrate on pvp for guild gold while gathering souls.

10 -10. Spending 20 games on an unfun team burns me out. I’ve only done 2 quest of those type since the last patch.

Try to end with a bunch of brown chests to maximize glory.

@Theicla

The Tasks you listed in your post are all older Tasks, you will need to complete them to generate the new ones the following day.

If I’m using a map now, I’m playing for the stones. Rest is just bonus whatever it is.
