Just make it so you have to complete one single job during the event to complete it. Nobody is playing this game anymore and if I miss the first 10 or jobs being completed then its over since it never gets to the next target in order for the quest to complete.
Whether the content is old or new it seems devs just dump it and move on the next thing without fixing anything.
Surge Pricing is a âworldâ effort. Yes, it sucks that you can miss out the reward, but if you consider what the reward is itâs not exactly something missable: Gold, Reputation, Carved Crests. You can ignore it entirely and do other activities.
Itâs a bit frustrating but your best bet is to try and get there before it starts. Itâs at half past every hour, you can even pick up a task and avoid completing it until it begins.
I do agree that more should be done to future proof such events, though!
The main issue I have with the event is how unreliable it is to get credit for itâŚ
Sometimes it gives me credit on the first Job I complete during it, sometimes I need to complete up to 8 different jobs before even getting credit.
Pretty sure Surge Pricing doesnât impact that, it pretty much is just for the âextraâ reward [the uncommon/rare/epic cache] that doesnât really mean much and to get your weekly done.
You get a chance at the vanity stuff from just completing 10 jobs, at any time.
I got the pet from a random Job outside Surge Pricing.
So it definitely doesnât need to be done during the event.
But no idea if Surge Pricing increases the drop changeâŚ
