Can't Complete Daily Skirmish Quests, Devs Please Read!

holt3

Besides the quest being occasionally broken where it won't allow me to complete it (I'm still waiting for the AD from these quests Cryptic), I'm unable to complete it if I out-level it! So I may do 2/3, then I level up, and it's a waste of the Daily Quest! I haven't even done half the Skirmishes that have become available to me throughout the course of leveling, because they are only available for 2 or 3 levels. That's rediculous! Why not just scale it like PVP and allow us to queue for all 5 or 6 skirmishes in that level bracket? This would allow people not to waste their dailies away. And allow us to play with friends.

If i'm a level ahead of a guildmate, forget about getting together for a skirmish! What's the point? Friends and Guildmates cannot put together a premade for Skirmishes unless they stay at the exact same level. And with the way you gain XP and level in this game, it's IMPOSSIBLE. So Skirmishes are PUGs only until level 60, and everyone knows that PUGs suck.

So yes, something should be done about the Skirmishes so they are more available on a broad aspect. It turns me off to here I don't even want to bother queueing for them.

And how about allowing us to enter Skirmishes from the map like we can with Dungeons? That's one way to solve the problem. This way, 5 man Guild groups can run it if they are all a few levels off from each other.

And why don't higher level skirmishes drop a blue item off bosses? What's up with that? Skirmishes need some work guys, they can be so much more!

We believe in you! We know you can do it! This is good constructive critisizm. Use it!

I keep getting disconnected from the server. I cant even start a thread about it.

signed something needs to be done about these outleveling them is pretty common even when trying to do the daily.

So the skirmish I can currently queue for says (Skirmish Level 54), Defend the Village. So that means I cannot run it after 54 right?

I would love to get this done in an hour or so, but sometimes it takes 20-30 minutes to get a queue...

i did 3/3 of the skirmish, its even on my questlog i did 3/3, but i can't claim my diamonds.
Plz Help.

Pretty sure skirmishes have a level range, just like dungeons. Not sure if Defend the village goes up to 60, but you can do it for some time. (unless 54 is the highest level, of course. Sorry, haven't done it in ages and don't know for sure.)

There is a simple reason for this: We don't want a high-level character ruining the fun for everyone in a low-level skirmish (or dungeon, for that matter.) You can easily do a skirmish three times in a row without worrying about level up, and definitely without leveling up too much. I really don't see the problem here. The only thing I can possibly think of is not being able to do a skirmish with a friend, but I'm sure they are working on a solution for that, if there's enough demand for it.

Not to mention that if you do outlevel the daily skirmish, just cancel it and retake it to update it. This won't always work for some reason (the countdown still ticks), but in that case, just wait one day. You only get about 1.000ADs for it anyway. That's really not much, and certainly not at higher levels. To put it in context, I got a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> ring in a dungeon and sold it for 50k ADs in the AH. Sell one ring or do a skirmish 150 times? (50 daily skirmishes, do each skirmish three times) Easy choice.

. . . This is why they are rolling out the scheduled Call to Arms skirmishes, which are on the in-Game Calendar. We've had a few already and one is coming up in a few days. As well, next month's is already on the Calendar.

If it's ruining the fun for low lvl characters then what's the point of CTAs? In the end they do work and are fun for all (at least for me regardless whether I'm in a PUG with low lvls or equal or better 60s).
IMHO epic versions of all skirmishes would be a great idea just like the dungeons are (except for CN/MC/VT and their relevant skirmishes which would also be available as an end-game content only). As to the rewards for such skirmishes..personally i don't really care about 1000RAD, but themed equipment skins, refining gems and/or occasional 'cherry' like an artifact (which supposedly is available already as a reward) or refining marks of potency would really be a great incentive to go for them. I'm just lvling a new toon and all of the skirmishes are a great change of pace, it would really be great if in the end game we had access to all of them, especially those early ones which some of us might not even recall.
CTAs, on the other hand would still be a great opportunity to join with friends no matter what lvl they are and to earn the new currency that's being introduced this week.

I've asked myself that exact thing since the first one.

One question would be ... whats the point of leveling if we are all the same in the end? A level 6 doing the same damage as a level 60?
At first it was the CTA that were "skull-leveled".
Then there came the Skull leveled dungeon for the artifacts.

Some people are already shouting for skull-leveled Dungeon instanced.
I wonder where this is going ...

The bugs are still there.
you still can not complete some of the daily skirmish quests from Ryx.
You still can not exit some skirmishes except to "Leave the party".

After 8 months.
