    Legendary Quests Cooldown

    I believe that implementing this would require a huge amount of work under the hood and wouldn't be something we could easily do. It sounds like it would require a massive rehaul of the way the quests are set up.

    Legendary Quests Cooldown

    Here are the options for Valley of Kings' rewards that our existing system provides. If there's lots of support to move from a 12 day cooldown to 6 days or 12 hours, we can certainly discuss that. We could implement any of these three options without having to go back and adjust our entire...

    Legendary Quests Cooldown

    But, yes, part of the justification for a guaranteed leg chest is the 12 day cooldown. We can move things around, but the rewards are a function of both the difficulty of a quest and its cooldown. If we adjust one side of the equation, we need to adjust the other side of the equation, too.

    Legendary Quests Cooldown

    Nothing is sacred to me. I'm willing to be convinced, for sure.

    Legendary Quests Cooldown

    Yes, I dont think we are making enough progress in removing coins from the game. However, reducing the coin rewards in quests was always only one small piece to the puzzle. I am optimistic that we will find some more ways to sink coins, such as Bahram's Lottery, and those will prove helpful.

    Legendary Quests Cooldown

    My fingerprints are all over the quest reward system. I don’t particularly care what the cooldown is for VoK, but if we made it 12 hours, under our system that would nerf coins from 20k to 4k and leg chests from 13 to 8. Would that be better? And if not, please tell me other ideas to keep...

    The Indians

    Since it's been a few hours since our post and what PF2K said earlier on the discord seems to have gone unnoticed, I put a very brief summary together for you all to bring you all up to speed on the Indians. This is all true, no April Fools Day involved: Indians Civilization Overview: The...

    Weekly Blog #41: Developer Spotlight - PF2K

    (Andy's note: I've been working with PF2K on the Romans since 2018, and even I have had all sorts of questions over the years about how we were going to pull this off. PF2K has always had the answer. Before I let him speak, I want to say a few words: In the last two years he and I have...

    It was a borderline absurd comedy there for awhile when we were all exchanging tips on our forts, and surprisingly necessary. Eamon has the ears of a bat. When I did my first couple of takes, he could hear the wooden dresser in my closet that I had my mic on. I never had any idea that wood could...

    4 players PVE quests

    I completely agree, and we’ve looked at this issue quite a bit. Unfortunately, there’s some significant technical hurdles under the hood that prevent us from doing 4 player PvE without us investing serious developer time and energy, which we simply haven’t been able to prioritize yet.
