Hi, I have been playing on the experimental server with a partner for about a week and one of the things that we felt was a bit unfair was how the challenges/bounties system works. Currently whenever I, the host, accept a bounty, both me and my partner can do it together and contribute toward the completion goal. However, when it is time to claim the loot, only one of us gets the rewards.
Now, I understand that this system was put in place to encourage helping others but when it comes to rewards such as Plague Ichor Vials, there are only about four a week for us to earn through bounties, if me and my partner both split it, it would be 2 per person, assuming that we can even complete the bounty for that week. This slows down our progression, at least it is much slower than if I was playing solo. I really hope you guys could make it so that at least we both earn the Vials for each bounty but the rest of the loot we can still split it.
Secondly, when it comes to challenges such as chopping trees or mining ores, both me and my partner always help each other completing them but when its time to claim the loot, only one person gets the reward. Again, I really hope that this could be changed to where the rewards are different for each player and they get what they get but at least we both get the rewards instead of having to do a long challenge just for a few silvers and gears that one or neither of us actually need. Having the rewards be different for each person but where everyone can claim them could help make the system more fair.
As it stands, if we both help each other complete a long challenge, there is a great chance that one of us would get no rewards that was worth the effort. I really like the concept of helping others out but when there is little incentive for one player, it makes completing them a chore after a while. I’m currently playing with only one other partner but I can’t imagine how unfair this system will be if we add one or two more players.
Again, I really love this game so far, both me and partners have over 40 hours in it already and we have barely scratched the surface of this beautiful game. I just wish the rewards system was a bit more fair when it comes to playing with others. Thank you for reading!
