Change the 24 hour cd to 20 for bird/monkey doff missions

Agreed.

Been asked for many times. It's a great suggestion.

Definitely. The vast majority of people don't log in every 20hrs for other stuff I bet and surely their metrics would support this. I see my assignments creeping away from my preferred time window in the long term.

We've been telling them this every single winter and summer event... They won't listen. I think they do that to encourage people to stay on longer each day. At this point I'll be surprised if they change it.

I'm more po'd of the Mark Box nerf.
A Senior Monkey w/Mask will get you 100 Marks :rolleyes:

Signed +1. I, too, wish they were 20hrs. At 24hrs it basically means about once a week (sometimes more) I have to skip a day's worth of growth. 20hrs allows enough flexibility that I can still get my missions every day.

Maybe I'm misremembering but I'm sure that at the first winter event the race was originally on a 24hr cooldown, but they changed it after lots of people asked, so hopefully they'll be willing to do the same with the doff assignments.

Actually the nerf happened last year.

First year we had the summer event, the birds gave out 200 marks.

Last year, they reduced birds to 100 marks at best, and put in monkeys which also give only 100 marks at best.

Agreed it would be nice. I'd also like to be able to transfer the bird eggs between toons myself. But I really don't see either happening to be honest, would nice if they did say OK though.

I agree with this as well. I also agree that the bird eggs should be account bound instead of character bound (though I can see why it isn't).

you can add to that raising epohh on new rom & during the winter event, the 24hr timers are a pain, it just seems to get later and later each time you run the doff missions until you inevitably end up having to miss a day.

I know it comes to almost the same thing but I thought a possible compromise would be to allow sale of the bird eggs back for favors. They could even rob 50 and let us sell them for 100. I've never bought an egg out of principal but I would if we could sell them from 1 character for 100 and buy from another for 150.

I don't really see that, I do the Horga'hn Hunt plenty and don't seem to get many eggs but its quite easy to gain a substantial amount of favours, providing you are playing your characters about the same amount they should have no problem getting enough favours to buy their own eggs but you can always transfer favours to any character that need them to buy an egg.

of course if I happen to pick up an egg or two during the hunts I can save a little and maybe play my other characters a bit more.

having said that theres little else in the summer store that I would choose to spend my favours on so why not spend them on eggs when needed.

raising monkeys is much easier, you only need to run the powerboard race 3 times at most each day per character and you have all you need for that doff mission, that's providing you have the time of course.

thing is if it wasn't for the eggs it wouldn't be worth playing the event beyond the ship, its the only way I gain from it.
favours into eggs, eggs into birds, birds into marks and marks into dil.

I do the hunt quite a lot so I've just never had the need to buy an egg.

I'm not really grinding marks hard this year so it's more casual.

My only observation really is that 1 character will have 25 eggs and one will have 3 after running the same number of hunts.
