Sirrian's Design Thoughts (Last 4.7 Epic Task Update)

[Jonathan]

I had/have more to say, but most importantly –

• I just spent a solid hour grinding D12 Explore following the Mythstone markers with 30-60 second teams (not including loading).

• I received 0 Tokens of Anu and 0 Tokens of Nysha.

While I did receive some Gold, and other Tokens for upgrading lower- to mid-rarity troops, this session resulted in zero progress towards my goal of obtaining my first of either of these Medals.

Re-iterating the sentiments expressed in this other thread:

@Evelyn

it feels so unlikely that I’ll make any progress in a session that I lose interest in even starting.

And this other thread:

@Mithran

very disheartening when you play an entire hour long session at top speed and can’t measure your progress in any meaningful way

Take-away note:

Please include some system, as was done with Arcane Traitstones in Explore*, that guarantees these high-rarity Tokens after a period of play – whether that’s Epic Tasks, Grunduluum’s Soulforge suggestion, or even something else(!).

*Bonus Mithran quote:

@Mithran

Funny that this system was apparently designed to combat obnoxious randomness of earning arcane traitstones […] and then created a system ten times worse with tokens.

On a more general note, thank you for having another look at all of this and sharing your thoughts on the matter –

Sirrian’s design thoughts are my favourite design thoughts .
