Active Point and BH1

So today I used my active points to complete my BH1 three times and all three times I received chips. Now was it just my bad luck to get chips three times or is that the standard reward for completing BH1 with active points? Also I had no more earning time left when I completed these quests. I was just curious if either of these circumstances affected the BH1 rewards. Thanks

    I decided to try it out on two different days.

    Day 1 was Chips, Sockets, and an Ecstasy Card pair

    Day 2 was Mirages, Mirages, and an Excitement Caard.

    I dont think the odds have changed, but I question whether it was a good idea to allow BH1 to be completed this way...

    I have yet to see bh1 turn up as a quest I can auto-complete.
    Is this random each day, because all the others (morai, BQ, primals + whatever bh2's I have) have all been consistently there as available to auto-complete.

    Same, all my bh1s have been to get pts. not to auto complete. I have bh2 under 'use pts'.. but not the bh1s.

    I had BH1 under the list to get points on the first day, then I logged on the next day and I was able to use 30 active points to complete BH1 and got an excitement card.

    I did bh1 like once on each account and now I see no more bh 1's to use the points on just bh2's,but perhaps like it says they points reset in a 24hour period so in my case it hasn't been 24 hours yet.I like this addition though,and also I got mirages,chips,socket stones,xtc cards,so yeah its still al la toss up like if you turned it into the bh man himself.

    I have multiple toons and have always stacked my bhs. Since the new update, i have only been given active points one time (today) and it wouldn't let me use them. Tomorrow they will be gone.

    I am definitely NOT impressed with the active point system. It seems if u have the quest already, u can't get points and if u don't already have the quest, u can't use points. This saves me no time and to me it is a fail system.

    Sorry, but this is nonsense.

    Once you have cycled through all BHs and get new ones everything will be perfectly fine.

    Actually, the active point system was the best thing that could have ever happened. Now I don't need to bother with BHs anymore, or just skip some random Quests (Morai, Base, Primal). that saves tons of time tbh.

    It seems to be random (whole server tho) in which constallation u can earn and spend those points. It's ok that way. At least it is for me.

    Nonsense?

    Maybe to you it is, but the bottom line is it's NOT giving me points and when it does it WON'T let me use them.

    That's nonsense

    Enough of my time wasted here, said what i wanted to say

    The said that old quests won't give u points and so its only obvious that you also cant use it on old quests. After that cycle of quests everything will be fine. Anything else is explained perfectly fine ingame. That's why it's nonsense. Just trash those old BHs and dive into the new features (:

    Its meant to be a daily thing.
    Do some dailies and you get others done for free, for that day. What you are complaining looks like a safeguard to prevent stacking up a ridiculous amount of points in one day.
    It saves a lot of time, if you know how to use it properly and not stack quests/bhs for days.

    Guys seriously!

    You can clearly see which quests are awarding active points (red text, upper section) and which quests you can use them on (blue text, lower section).

    How on earth can't that be obvious?

    Please inform yourself or at least try it out before...ya before posting obvious things.

    Ofc it changes overnight as lots of ppl have alrdy said that it is random each new day/reset.

    Yes, it was a good idea b:angryb:chuckle

    When I turned up my BH1 for points, I got extasy cards on all toons.

    Yes, you need today's quests to get points and you have to be attentive to distribute your points properly, not to waste them on something which is easier to do manually, but to spend them on the quests which take a lot of time. But in time you will get used to it. It works fine so far. I'm pleased. Would be awesome if list of quests which you can spend points on wasn't limited, but since all important ones are there it's not a big deal for now.

    I am so glad u guys r pleased with the system. You can use it to your benefit.

    As for me, it is still fail.

    If PW wants to tell you what order you need to do your dailies and reward you for complying, they need to post a priority list so us "slow" people can comply also.

    No one forces you to use it if you don't like ;)

    Now you know. 1 day to find out and keep it in mind isn't too much, I suppose.

    Was this really necessary?
    It was explained to you what happened.
    Your dailies reset. As in the ones that paid out changed
    The days you got 40 points, 4 primals were paying points.
    The days you got 20 points, only 2 primals were paying and the other 2 were replaced by something else (likely base quests).

    When the points reset - so too do the quests that pay them out. I would wager you just kept blindly doing Primal dailies and didn't even look at what was paying out points on the day when only 2 of them were.
    You lacking the ability to read a simple list and not understanding the explanation given to you about why it happened is hardly a reason to come here and fly off the handle like that.

    Click on show quests in your quest menu, choose the Active Quest tab. It will list the quests that give AP on the top in dark orange. If you are currently doing it, it will expand from BQ I, and show what the particular BQ 1 objective is. It flat out tells you everything. If it doesn't expand, you currently do not possess the quest to get the active points, regardless of whatever dumb idea is floating around in someone's head. It's stupid proof.

    Maybe because you're a ****ing idiot? Read my above response, do the same, and realize that it changed from counting all 4 primal dailies (10 each X4), to counting 2 and the other two went to auto-complete section (10 each X2). Apparently that was not ****ing obvious enough for the inbred forum goers to stop licking their monitor long enough, that they could calm down and try to keep their only two brain cells from fighting each other, long enough to have a basic reaction that would be the most rudiment form of thought.
