Challenge of the gods instafail

finaldeath1689

If you pick up a challenge of the gods in the middle of combat it seems to instantly fail every time.

In the middle of typing this i waited to post it to test it out a bit more and it seems it isn't just insta failing when picked up in combat, it also seems to insta fail some times when picked up out of combat as well. Seem to be every other one i pick up that instantly fails.

Also, please extend the timer on some of these, the time on some of them are ridiculous or just reduce the number of times the challenge requires to be less bs. Like the 10 potions one, straight up impossible under normal playing, you have to purposefully get wrecked by enemies then kill them all before you die and waste a bunch of level 1 potions out of combat to get it.

There are multiple challenges, as you've noted. My first one instafailed, too, but I later discovered it's because the requirements were to kill 5 enemies without using At-Will powers - something I find quite difficult for me and my itchy sword finger.

I've always seen a failure reason flash on the screen.

Yep, looking at the challenges I know some are not gonna happen so I don't bother. Some are super easy though.

One of the challenges is to not use an encounter for X mobs killed, another to not use an at-will, and so on. There are many challenges and many that can easily be failed if you're not paying attention to the objectives. I suggest to not pick the challenges up while in combat. Wait till its the last thing you pick up after a battle, then hover your reticule over it before picking it up for the tooltip on what the challenge will be, so you can be ready when you loot it. All the challenges are easily doable if you know what to expect and what to do.

I completed them all on a few characters when this first came around on the PC. I had issues at first until I slowed down and payed attention to the Challenges' tool tips before looting them instead of just spamming loot key and being surprised because I failed a challenge that I wasn't prepared to pick up at that moment.

That would make sense if they didn't instafail without me using anything. They literally fail the second i pick them up. They don't even say they failed half the time, they just don't even show up once i pick up the item.
