Agreed lol">. "> Just in case there's no compensation I've maxed out my loan of 300 reals. Just in case">">

I support this, sure there is more of us but the defilers have increased health and damage, and on top of that we had to beat a dragon with like 500k health, i even ot killed from a 1666 hit that wasnt a crit how were we meant to compete?

Dragon takes damage from one you do to defilers. There were also far less players on Defilers side. As already mentioned before quest was not credited because the mighty dragon survived the battle and it is intended.

Which is why this part of event should happen on the weekend so enough people can join it. or have NPC's spawn so that defilers can't win. Everyone who did the fight wasted a ton of gold and got nothing in return. To kill the dragon defilers have to do about 5million damage overall so we need a lot of people online.

Probably the wrong place to post this, but wasn't the draggy fight suppose to determine if Shaab won? Using game canon, we have an event where they do nothing but try to invade us and take over Adan, so the time they do win, they just pack up and taunt us for a rematch later like a sports team rivalry? Was there no contingency quest-line or penalty in place for the chance we'd lose? Just not winning seemed silly.

Mobius_1,

You could argue that "penalty" for not winning and letting Arakshul take over Adan with Shaabs forces is not receiving rewards for quest. Also there's one day de-buff after Shaab has ended.

Ihit,
just give us what we DESERVE! !

The fact that this quest failed was entirely due to a miscalculation on the part of the admins and had nothing to do with the players. Essentially, the admins over-estimated how many players are active on the server, and therefore over-estimated how many would join the final fight.

As Sulturs Fire said, to kill the dragon, the defilers needed to do ~5 million damage (10% reflected to the dragon; dragon had 500k health). That means that enough non-defilers need to join the fight to receive 5 million worth of damage. If the average player + elixir of supremacy + endurance/health potions has about 10k health (just a rough guess), then you need about 500 players on the non-defiler side to join the quest and die in order to kill the dragon. Oops on the part of the admins...it appears that there weren't that many (not even close).

I don't really understand how this sort of a failure could happen on the part of the admins. This isn't the first time adan quests have happened, and therefore there should be good data on how many players are active, what percent join quests, etc. If I had to guess, I would say that the admins forgot to account for the appearance of multi-accounts since the last adan quests. Since each player can only join a fight with 1 profile, a person with 5 characters could have been counted 5 times instead of 1, which would artificially inflate the estimate for how many active players are available to join.

What should have happened on the part of the admins is that they take an accurate estimate of how many players would join on the non-defiler side, multiple that by the average health of a player, and then multiply by 10% to account for the reflection rate onto the dragon (then maybe subtract some percentage to account for fluctuation in player number). Then set the dragon's health accordingly (in this case, an appropriate health would have been around 200k). Then the quest can function as designed...defilers pound the non-defilers, lots of non-defilers die, people who get the required damage get credit for the quest, people who don't get that damage don't get credit.

Instead we received a quest that was literally impossible to complete. Both sides did exactly what the admins designed for them to do, and yet the quest failed. And then the admins blamed the players for the failure. Wow...I wish I could get away with that at my job.

Therefore I agree with everyone here that players who participated in the quest & did the required damage should be given credit. Cheers to all who fought...it was a fun time, even if the result was a little silly.

I totally agree with this on the simple basics of the - what the quest requested: The quest specifically and only said you have to deal this amount of damage. It wasn't said that only if the Dragon dies. So the quest should complete. It's like any contract in the real life - you have to do only what is written in the request, and that was done.

I like Grohy's mention of contract. I wish I had known in advance that we had to do 5k damage AND kill the dragon. This was not clear in the quest description.

At a minimum, please make the wording of the quest clear for the future. A simple addition along the lines of "deal 5k damage to ____ and defeat ____/win the battle." This will prevent this let-down in the future.

Thank you.

The idea was stupid anyway, as a defiler I was supposed to do 15k damage and pray we lost. Why would I want to lose? Only losers want to lose.

One thing is that this time roound there were more defilers than there were in the past and lot of them strong and buffed, while lot of non defilers were lower levels, who even with the equal thing will never be as strong as purple gear, buffed up level 50 player. Not even close. So the result was that lot of non defilers died very fast.
In the end there was no way to finish the quest as non defilers did not have enough players on, plus lot of those were jjust not strong enough to match the defilers. The result we all know.

I guess next time we know what to do, although the question is if people will be willing to participate in this as it seems bit hard quest, unless you have enough people on.

Unless the number of active players in the game approximately doubles in the next 73 days, the quest is not do-able (since we only got the dragon to about half health). Personally, I am not planning to waste my time/potions/etc participating next time.

The problem was they did it on a weekday. if they had the event end on saturday or sunday it would of probably succeeded. But you are right, if they have the event end on a weekday again I won't be joining the final fight lol.

Ihit,
Had a question on the defilers seem like no one could used there dot(magic) on them unlike the first 2 invasion where we could dot the defilers
