Weekly Challenge Reroll Woes

DoofusMax · April 2

I'd have to go back and search the PTS forum, but I believe one of my comments on the Tome over there was that rerolling could produce duplicate weekly challenges and I wasn't sure whether that was intended behavior or not. My experience with the first week's challenges on the live Tome was much the same, but a different effect. I rerolled the first "kill <dungeon boss>" challenge (there were two different ones showing) and got a new challenge to go kill the other dungeon boss (now showing twice). I rerolled it again, got something else, and moved on to the second. When I rerolled that one, it gave me the challenge to kill the first dungeon boss again, and then gave me the challenge to kill the second again when I rerolled it. The last reroll produced something more satisfactory, but that burned all five of my rerolls for the week. You'd think there would be a check in there somewhere to the effect of "player said they did not want this challenge, so remove it from the pool for the week" as two of those rerolls were used on challenges I'd already refused once.

This would seem to indicate that there aren’t many other options to reroll and they come out of one pool. This whole setup makes the new system less player friendly than the old, at least we could see what all of the options were and there was no penalty.

Yesterday one of mine was capture one keep but today it was kill atronachs. I rerolled and got capture one keep again. We may end up doing the same things every day for a week and getting tired of them.

I re-rolled Complete 1 Trial on my Xbox acct (because that acct is nowhere near doing a Trial) and it rolled "Collect clothing nodes" which I already had, so now I'm double dipping on that one.

Also, I re-rollled Kill The Serpent, and it rolled Kill The Serpent again so I re-rolled again and got. Complete 1 Trial. [facepalm]

On the lucky side of that, duplicated challenges will progress together. If you had managed to pull five "Complete 1 Trial" challenges, doing 1 Trial would complete all five of them and that particular one can be completed twice, so 2K points for doing 2 Trials.

That is my new favorite part of the system, being able to do multiple ones at once.

Yeah, I re-rolled and now have 'collect runes' twice.

I got the capture an Imperial city district one, as two of my challenges, I had intended to go do it.

Enters Imperial city campaign, checks map all controlled by EP, loads into the no CP Imperial city, checks map all controlled by EP, I mean sure I could have tried again later or gone on a character with a different alliance.

But couldn't be stuffed wanted to do something when I actually had time to be online and re rolled both to kill 8 elite enemies and do a group challenge in Wrothgar's public dungeons.

The duplicate challenges is not a bug, it is explained in the in game help file.

It kept giving me the same thing I was trying to roll away from and now I have no free rolls. Really seems like it should be heavily weighted towards something new. It was the bugged one too so I can't even just suck it up and do it.
