Anyone noticed a change in the derby task board?

We have several people waiting for a task right now. Have a couple of long term inactive members currently so trying to get good points to make up for that. I am trying to work at office & keep low point tasks trashed along with others in hood. Trashing anything below 200 points but finding very few 300 for more active upper level players. Our choices are definitely worse this time!

We are hoping to recruit some more high level players that are competive to help us out. We won first Derby and came in second in next one. With these points we will need more people!

Or less people: you're matched against neighborhoods with the same number of players at the start of the derby. Getting rid of the inactive players means that you'll be matched with smaller neighborhoods. If winning first place is your goal it's not about size, it's about participation. In addition to trashing low-point tasks, of course :-)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that getting rid of your inactive players is the best answer. But I do think that winning the derby and keeping inactive players are incompatible, unless you get matches against even less active neighborhoods.

My neighborhood has had quite the noticeable change with the quality of task orders available for redemption- only had one task above 300 and most are under 100- it has been very difficult strategizing this time around....spending a lot of time trashing orders and waiting in anticipation for higher quality orders only to be disappointed 30 min later... Luckily I have 5 more days to go....😁

Yes,I have definitely noticed a change on what comes up on the board. At first we had many train orders now there is 1 and it only gives 50 points for 3 people served. That's just too few. I used to see (and do) orders with 19 people per train and I had no problem with that.
My NH fell from 4th to 11th place. 😞

We had to wait a couple of days but we're seeing a few more higher point tasks.

It seems you have to be pretty patient to get those big tasks orders.
we have finished all our tasks already but I have been paying attention and tearing down low point orders.

We did okay on orders of 250 to 271 points and are still about 1200 points in the lead.

On the plus side there it's been 3 days since the Derby started and we don't know who the winner will be. in the first 2 derbys there was plenty of 300 point tasks to choose and most people were done within 36 hours. now we're having to be strategic about it. I know myself I still have 3 tasks to go because I picked the 12 boat order task to start with. and yeah we trashed a lot but there's still 4 days to go and it doesn't matter who gets the 5th horseshoe first unless it's a tie for the final point. what matters is he who dies with the most money wins. I mean whoever finishes with the most points.( yeah that's what I meant.)

I have played all derbys and have never seen a 300+ task. We won first derby and lost by 1 point in second. Seriously, 1 point.

We've noticed a change in our board too, we still get a few of the 309pt truck tasks but the high fishing and town tasks have been AWOL and many of our members are waiting for the better tasks but at this rate we may need to settle for lower points

It seems like we have had a lot of 300+ tasks in the past 24 hours. I don't know if they put it back to the way it was, or if the demand for new tasks has fallen off enough that we're able to trash more and collect the 300+ ones.

Or maybe the new task generator algorithm just delays the 300+ tasks until later in the week, to reward those with patience? :p
