Where are the do zolas abilities 20 times quests?

These are no where to be found and welcome to shield is Sunday. Does this have to do with the zemo quests incidents?

    They took down the zemo ones because they were broken in a way that some players were able to abuse. Presumably they still haven't been able to fix the issue with these character quests.

    But…..that was literally one of the things R329 was supposed to fix…..according to the notes.

    So I hope they did….!

    The quests that are completed show up at the top, as they said they would.

    It was also supposed to fix pvp, but it's still got more seeds than a watermelon

    Never really liked the use 20 abilities quests. Very tedious, especially when those abilities suck big time...

    The developers have every incentive to make doing quests feel somewhat hard or difficult or like an effort.

    They’re giving rewards they are also usually selling to you. And so maybe you just spend instead. And if you do it and get it, it feels a bit more rewarding, maybe, so you feel more accomplishment.

    That said I’m increasingly thinking there will be no Zola Quests since his WtS starts tomorrow morning and his PvP does as well. Or maybe tonight? Either way.

    I definitely enjoy them, it's a way to sort of understand how their mechanics work and really isn't THAT much effort to get. The rewards are well worth it to me and appreciate when they were doing it. Hopefully this is just left over from closing the 5*Zemo exploit from two weeks ago.

    So having reached the day the PvP and WtS start, the quests are definitely missing. I can’t imagine they planned for them to start after his main events were running for more than a day.

    Options for reasons we don’t have them:
    1. Intentionally held back to spur more spending from people who want shards and covers
    2. Intentionally held back because they did not, in fact, fix quests that were tied to characters and they are still bugged
    3. Unintentionally held back because someone forgot to add them or set them up right and so they didn’t run.

    Some communication would be appreciated.

    Or 5. Unintentionally held back because they turned them off for the 5* Zemo quests and instead of turning them off just for one character it turned them off for all of them (including the one scheduled for the new 4*).

    Yeah I dunno, I wouldn't describe much of anything from the past few months as "intentional."

    Maybe we will get some sort of update today. Given that R329 doesn't seem to have fixed PvP, I suspect they are still turned off because the exploit wasn't fixed either.

    Well, they presumably are still in control of who’s essential, mostly. They made Zemo the required 5 for WtS when he’s not currently pullable anywhere. Too bad for people who didn’t get him (and no feeder for him until Zola).

    It would not surprise me if they were looking for ways to give our fewer free covers and shards for new characters since revenue has been flat & at an all time low for months.

    Hmm, regarding the WtS 5* node, I haven't recruited Zemo but can still play. I think they put a loaner there.

    After day 1, you need to have your own, I believe. No later than after day 2.

    Early after coming back from my 3 years away I missed some stuff from a WtS because I didn’t have Venom Rex yet.

    They are quite fond of being thematic so it wouldn't surprise me if Zemo was on purpose and they just hadn't given it much thought beyond that. Zemo did also have a release store so he wasn't impossible to get a cover for.

    Following up: it’s today, the second day. You need Zemo yourself to keep going with the final column.

    Also it may be thematic but that’s not really been a driving force in the WtS essentials. It just seems random most of the time. I fully believe they picked Zemo to make players feel like they need to make sure they roster new 5s immediately and I assume next month’s WtS will require whoever the next 5 is.

  • DAZ0273

    Well hopefully the next 5 will have a feeder.

    Given their track record on things like this I am as inclined to believe that it was a ****-up as much as some conspiracy to make players roster 5* characters but who knows? The Devs! That's who knows! Maybe they will comment.

    Hey look at last month.

    “Requiring…Nova? Who released 2 1/2 weeks ago? Ok sure. You could do the quests and get her even without a feeder but still kinda nuts. She’s not even in tokens.”

    Quoting myself. For the Maker’s WtS.

    I think we have a trend.

    Aren't they both FF related? Thematic link. Not a good one but it is there!

    Considering how good she is I rostered her immediately from feeder cover and shards and made sure I got those 750 shards! I expect most players able to did so too, no? If not, that would be insanity!

    Given the current state of...everything, if they tried to give out less covers, they'd accidentally end up giving us thousands of them.
