Remove crackerjack

What we really need : increase of repeatable quests for seasonal events, due to increase of token requirement to exchange all

What we don't need : long quest chain that requires you to go here, go there, pay this and pay that to get so little gain that i did maybe half of the quests

+1
I stopped doing them, after handing in a set OR sets of resources, then being told I was to hand in another even more expensive set OR sets of resources, I simply decided not to bother anymore (on all my characters) as the rewards simply aren't worth the cost, along with the neverending walking about that sometimes happens too.
Another reason for stopping is I'm scared talent coins will be removed like Rubies after collecting a good amount. Why collect them if admin is possibly going to decide to take them all away from you with zero compensation at a later date - no thanks.
My time is more precious now I know I can have stuff whipped away from me for nothing!

Moin.
1. Schade, dass man, um deutsch zu lesen im Spiel, den Clienten nicht mehr benutzen kann, den ich nutze
2. Crackerjack scheint ein absoluter Witzbold zu sein. Es gibt Quests, die ein normaler Mensch, selbst wenn man den Inhalt versteht, nicht auf normale Weise richtig abschließen kann. z.b. man wird zum Nekromanten geschickt, aber die Quest geht dort nicht weiter, obwohl man inzwischen alle bekannten Ressourcen bei sich hat.
3. Es gibt niemand im Spiel, der während der Questphase verlässlich sagen kann, wie es weiter geht. Witzbolde gibt es scheinbar nur auf dem Papier, ich finde nie einen. Wenn man Mentoren oder Wächter fragt, gibt es keine oder nur eine verwaschene Antwort. z.b. nach 2 Wochen kommt im Forum eine Lösung.
Versuch doch mal im Forum was zu finden *g*
Es gäbe sicher noch ein paar mehr Dinge zu kritisieren, aber die Zeit ist knapp.
p.s. Tausch der Dinge aus welchen Gründen auch immer, sehe ich auch als fiesen Zug an. Wie schon oben angesprochen. ( z.b. Rubine für Premium )

Hm, your link doesnt work. nice try 'g'

the CrackerJack's quests chain, its text is too small to read, try add the in game quest font and font size adjustment 1st

1. Have a set schedule. Your new quests drop randomly on some day - And if there is an actual schedule, then maybe it's good sense to actually publish that).
2. Then you have the randomly timed Fastest finger first reward for 3 people which is unfair (Not all of us are chronically online zombies) - Either make it a lucky draw for all (Not recommended) or give first 3 good rewards and smaller rewards to the rest who complete it and post result - Upto a limit of let's say 10 people total.
3. More forum events which actually increase engagement. Right now it's just the regular 5-10 people who win/comment.
4. More Sources for Talent Coins - Game is already leeching money from every which way imaginable, I cannot even think that people can't create more rewards which may actually increase retention and engagement.
5. If you need a marketer/Product person to write your roadmap of events and do a consumer analysis, do contact me. I will only charge 7 Diamonds per word of reply. (Still cheaper than most of in-game stuff)

Remove CJ

Please, share the results once the survey is done

Shame that CJ quests don't have proper translation. Especially to Polish

Huge thank you to all who took part, we'll do our best for the next year's CJ to meet your expectations.

I'd like to address some of the feedback that you shared in this thread:

This thread is for CJ quests feedback. As Jesters, we are not responsible for seasonal quests.

I hope you were able to share your ideas for better or more suitable rewards in the survey - that kind of specific input is very helpful for us. We always try to align effort and reward, but it's not always easy to gauge without detailed feedback from players.

CJ quests usually only require small amounts of various resources. For quests that ask for more, rewards are also bigger. Again, suggestions for specific rewards are very valuable to us.

While I understand the frustration around the rubies change, this thread is not the best place to discuss that topic. Jesters receive the same information regarding such changes in game as any other player.
As far as we know, there are no plans to remove Talent Coins. The best we can do is keep a close watch on updates from the Russian servers and let you know if anything changes.

CJ being Jester - that's very fitting, don't you think?
Think of those quests as Jester events. You can participate - read the dialogues and solve riddles - and get the reward. Or you can wait for the forum guide, understanding that this may delay completion or reduce certain rewards (for example seasonal tokens after the event has ended). It's intended that active participation leads to the best outcomes.
The specific issue you're refering to was caused by the previous quest step not being fully completed. For this kind of issues, Jesters can always help.

As stated in every CJ news, any questions about the quests should be directed to the Jesters. Mentors and Guards should not give you answers about Jester events. But they can certianly point you to the forum thread where all members of the Jester team are listed. If none of us is online, you can send us a letter in game or on forum. And we're available on Discord, too.

Jesters don't have control over in-game font size. You can try adjusting your browser settings.

Have a set schedule. Your new quests drop randomly on some day - And if there is an actual schedule, then maybe it's good sense to actually publish that).

A fixed schedule isn't possible for two reasons.
Firstly, we try to have the quest start during the seasonal events. While we can try to estimate when the seasonal events will start, we are not given any more information on the dates of future events than any other player.
Secondly, CJ quest releases depend on the availability of Administrators to implement them; their workload varies and can't always be predicted. We can't expect CJ quests to take priority over regular game events and updates.

We understand that players have different time zones and schedules. That's why the bonus reward is intentionally small (and it's a bonus on top of the regular quest reward). Its purpose is simply to encourage players to read the dialogues actively. Still, we will consider expanding the number of players who can receive this bonus.

Quoted from "SilentWater"

More forum events which actually increase engagement. Right now it's just the regular 5-10 people who win/comment.

Great news: we are planning to have more diverse and more frequent forum events next year. We're also considering increasing rewards, especially for creative contests.
At the same time, participation is always voluntary. We can offer rewards, but we can't force players to participate (no matter how hard we try ). Talent Coins are meant to reward engagement and creativity, they're not supposed to be a freebie. For that reason we will also adjust the frequency of events such as Las WoDas.
If you have any ideas or feedback about the forum events, please share them in this forum thread or with any Jester.
And don't forget to check out events on Discord, Telegram, and Facebook. You can earn additional Talent Coins there.

A very generous offer and certainly priced like a premium service.

Shame that CJ quests don't have proper translation. Especially to Polish

The official game languages are English and German. We always try to provide the quests in those two languages. Technical issues can still happen, but we're learning and improving with every quest.
Starting next year, we also plan to publish CJ forum guides in additional languages, not only English.
