I really like them. I try to finish it as fast as I can while still complaining all the objectives and I make Speaker Terenus proud
I'm still trying to get my last 4 targets for the achievement, though.

I've noticed the rewards are crap after my first 1 I didn't screw up on, once I saw a blue I lost a little hope. I realize purple bags might have been to gracious or whatever.

Not playing the TG yet I'm not burnt out and it's new but I can see sacraments getting old really fast.

I like them except the timer for exiting. I can flawlessly do everything else, but making it back out in time, without alerting, etc? Nope.

I don't care for them. They're both boring and repetitive, (like the worst parts of my job) and not at all enjoyable. I DoD a handful of them to get my ranking high enough to complete the DB questline, a few got the top reward. I got the Bane of Gold Coast achievement on one character, and will probably never do another sacrament.

I like them.

they are an improvement on Heists from the Thieves Guild DLC.

having an "escape" timer start when you complete the main objective instead of having to rush through all the objectives is much more enjoyable.

I can play patiently and stealthy to complete the objectives, but then I have to rush to get away. that's how heists should be as well.

the environments are repetitive, though. need more variety.

They should have repurposed the existing delves, rather than the few maps.

While it is good to have secret areas not show on the map until you get there, they should also stay on the map when you walk out. Finding an unmapped shortcut into the area is good, but then you are stuck trying to find it again on your way out.

I swear I suspect they programmed the cannon fodder to 'randomly' turn around when the Woe prompt appears. The timing of me closing in on a npc and the npc moving at that instant has happened WAY TOO OFTEN for simple chance. The pattern of a target moving out of one guard sight just as another guard approaches is too often to be coincidental as well.

The Woe needs to activate more quickly upon pressing the synergy. If they are going to have a three microsecond window of stealth then the blade must activate immediately. No more delays.

At times I feel they wanted to make it not possible to complete, such as when the target moves from being in sight of three merchants to sitting against the back wall of their tent.

More NPCs to murder, what's not to like !?

I find the Sacraments much more friendly than Heists. I love them both, but I am confident there's a reason the motifs from Heists are rarer and more valuable than the ones from Sacraments. The ability to scout and hit all secondary objectives without worrying about the timer is a HUGE plus.

Motifs from sacraments? Where? I got nothing... just some Sithis gear.

I really love the heists from the the thieves guild and was very excited for the assassin's version of them when dB came out only to be very disappointed.

I can't stand that they are basically a 1 shot deal for 24hrs. Even if we drop the quest, all the penalties stand for our next try at it. It makes no sense to let us drop the quest if it doesn't reset everything like the heists. It's basically allowing us to screw up even further. At least the thieves guild heists let us try again.

I'm also pretty sure that when the Dark brotherhood style motif is released, completing the sacraments is how we'll get them.

I heard that they do reset if you wait 10 minutes. I never tested, though.

I tested repeatedly (with 15 minutes breaks) : it works. It resets completely.

I like them a lot, but I have no reason to do them because the rewards are terrible.

Similarly, I did the heists to get the new motifs, but after that, they aren't worth doing. I think if any of the dailies had a chance for consumable items that you need more frequently the whole thing would be more worthwhile.

I absolutely love them. They're still relatively fresh for me so I'm not bored with them or anything, I love the designs of them and how many different spaces I can crawl on, and I love the little secret passageways. Once you find them I'm sure they get a little monotonous, but for now it's quite neat!

I'd agree. I'm still rather new to them and it's enjoyable. Running a 2nd character through DB questline now. Id love to see the rewards vary, just crapoy sets is rather unfortunate.

They were somewhat fun at first, but I've reached a point where unless my target is someone I haven't killed yet for the achievement I'm just not doing it that day. I only need 3 more guys and I'm done.

The problem is beyond that achievement there's zero incentive to play them or to even bother with the optional - you get a random piece of a garbage sithis touch set. Cool.

Heists had a similar problem with there being no incentive beyond the associated achievement but they remedied that with DB by adding a guaranteed motif drop if you hit the optional which is incredibly easy on all 5 maps once you've learned them and learned the guards patrol routes. So I have the complete TG motif and am selling them like hotcakes.

Hopefully with the next update they incentivize Sacraments the same way, seeing as there's a Dark Brotherhood motif (all the sithis touch junk is this motif) that can't yet be crafted.
