:saywhat:Thanks for stating the obvious. What people are suggesting is for variety but not insanity :saywhat:

That isn't true at all, everything has changed, just nobody will admit they truly screwed the pooch with this idiotic new task.
You have added 9 new production tasks, great, you also added this stupid task and this is coming from a player in myself who has never taken a town task in derby history. What you have done us create massive clutter. You say they added 9 production tasks + this incoherent serve sane character task to hit 10 new tasks.
Now you need to realize you have added close to 120+ new tasks and I'm probably short changing that #. Each task has X amount of non 320's and those will pop up to create a mess and the true reality behind this character task is to force players to use diamonds to speed up their personal trains to finish this crackbaby task that is now rivaling strawberries & collecting goats milk. You have also removed a large portion of 320 tasks for NH's bc they will be forced to delete 100's and 100's of this stupid character town task.
I havebt seen (1) 320 old school town task yet but I have seen (7) 320 character town task, which have all been deleted. It's simple math, adding 10 new tasks with massive variances on the point values was going to cause major issues, so let's not try and pretend "nothing has changed". I can't even begin to think what SC is going to do in September - November when millions & millions of players hit 40 weeks in Champ League and are done with Derby all together. That's going to be a massive hit to the bottom line when those diamond sales plummet because players won't be forced to buying as many in order to get tasks done.

Shh!!! Also, I am OK with the update given that the "old" task still is around.
HATE the new town task! I usually do several town tasks every derby and enjoy them. This time I picked the townie for 320. O.m.g. I had to use diamonds to get trains faster and even then I didn't always get a townie. I got at most one and sometimes zero out of eleven passengers! It could take a whole week to do one task if I didn't use diamonds. Wow. I do love the orange trees though. Lol
In a long way you made the precise point.
By adding more other random tasks, the chances of getting decent tasks naturally decreases. The new town task is garbage. I've seen much less 'proper' town tasks now this and the other ones have been introduced.
That means EVEN MORE trashing, yeah; like we didn't need to do that enough already in derby. :rolleyes:
I really hope enough derby players boycott derby diamond spending as a result of these new additions; just makes derby even more painful if your trying to win. And the win rewards aren't anywhere near good enough for the spending required.
I idiotically said I'd do two. So I was trying to stack 18 visitors without knocking any of them out when collecting the first set. Let's just say NEVER AGAIN. It would be 'OK' if you don't like playing town (so happiky send all others away) or in an NH where you can take your time over tasks, but in a 2 person NH where there's only one neighbour to pick up from and time pressure, it'll be a long time before I do two again. One maybe.
I like the concept though, BUT for it to work you need to be able to choose who to release from your building and not play HD Roulette
I have done this task two times now and find it OK. I do have to say though that I am in a reasonably active neighbourhood where some of the members like myself basically exclusively do townies (i.e. never do boats, never do trucks, never do the sheeple that come to the door) and I have my personal train levelled out so I can use it frequently...
It's certainly no reason to quit the game... hang in there, give it a chance, or take other tasks....
I did one of thd new ones. Fun to do, except for asking for stuff not yet opened. Took longer than i would have liked because of tgat. Next week should be fine. I usually do 2 regular town tasks a week, but never stack townies. Since i am constantly working town, i constantly have fully served townies.
