Lizard Racing, Spikeball, Troll Arena

Mephane

The last one in the list is the clue. These three quests are there to troll you.

After completing the Hadran's Caravan area, you are able to participate in each of the 3 minigames. In other words, you are now forever allowed to pay 59 gold coins to see the outcome, or run the race again, for nothing at all in return. I was already weary about these, so I decided to do the Spikeball run first, because I knew I would win anyway just as I did during the area quest.

Well, turns out in the end, there was no reward, not even my money back. And to add insult to injury, Bunul gave me the quest again, so it is repeatable.

So here we have 3 quests that
- are repeatable,
- cost money to complete
- yield not even that money in return
- 2 of them even are a just a gamble

And, as someone who wants to complete all the quests in a zone, I cannot even complete them, they just reappear, taunting me with their trollishness.

Please just delete those 3 quests. No one will miss them, and at least in the future no more players will have to part with their coin for literally nothing.

Yeah. In my experience the Reapers March is also notorious for glitching at every single possible quest there is just to screw some of their most devoted fans over. Hardly any of the quests there I have seen have no bugs whatsoever. Some even have bugs beyond completion and all you can do is to wait for ZoS to finally quit developing that worthless adventure zone and actually fix their game.

I am not normally a guy to rage a lot but you can not state that the fault is on my end this time around when nearly 1/4th of playtime is spent trying to solve whatever issues there are. Most of the time, you find a temporary solution but sometimes you are stuck for good until ZoS decides that it might be a good idea to fix broken quests.

Quests like these are total bologna and don't belong in the game or any game for that matter in my opinion, its gambling. Even with welcoming gamblin, It is one thing to gamble and have odds of any sort of winning/loosing , but to gamble and have a 100% guarantee loss is another , its stealing .. period. This game has provided me with enough problems with game coin as it is , repairs having to /stuck constantly with my nightblade because magnum shot knocks me into unmovable situations (into rocks walls crates and alike) and i have no choice but to /stuck command to get out of them. Ability actions don't respond allot/most of the time causing unnecessary deaths/repairs. I would welcome a complete deletion of these rip off quests and any others alike and get out of my game gold pocket , your in it deep enough as it is.

Just as an info for other players: Both races didn't give XP nor gold on winning - not sure if this should be considered as bug, but it's just not worth to spend 59 gold per quest and I doubt that they will later on return the invested money. Even after winning you can re-do the quest and throw your money out of the window ...

TY, wish I'd read this thread before trying the out.
A total waste of time and money.

just to test i compared quest count before and after running spike ball. this does not count as a quest. thus, this is about competing. its a simple way to keep track of did you start the task, and did you finish it. if you win, good for you. if you lost... try again. it has nothing to do with the achievements. the total quests in the zone... its there for you to do as an activity. sure, it costs you money. you get nothing in return other then ... you won/lost. it could be improved so that if you win say all three that you get a prize. but, i am ok with the way it is, and recognizing it for that.

I dont mind little mini games like this, I just think after you do them once, they shouldn't clutter up your map-quest icon bar. They really get in the way of finding the real quests.

The Lizard Race is quite addictive if for some reason you just want to see the left lizard win. But don't bother as the OP said, they will just take all your gold.

Right Lizard will win about 75% of the time.
Middle lizard will win approx 40% of the time.
Left Lizard NEVER WINS even if it does win >.<
