Deed: Bringer of good cheer - not cheerful at all!

[andrane]

Complete "A mission to bring good cheer" 1/40.

So really 40 days straight of doing 1 mission per day for that deed? Am I missing something?
So its not even finishable this year ... (if you dont reset with MC ofc).

Also the handling is as inconvenient as it can get: frostbluff to get quest > AK to do mission > back to frostbluff to handin .... zzzzz

[Fegefeuer]

Just lol hahaha crazy, something else to skip

I've been unable to use the new version of the cash shop and have not been able to buy three peaks
but
The maps to Frostbluff cost one token each at the left festival rewards npc, if you need a quick route back other than festival stables

Just skip it as we do with so many other needlessly grindy things. Not every piece of content is worth your time, not every title or deed needs or requires unlocking.

well, I want the pet

Trust us, we understand. But as with more and more things nowadays, if you want it, they want real money from you. So, if you don't want to wait till next year, then MC is the only way out.

I personally hate to encourage these kinds of choices so I won't be using MC to reset it. Not that I'll make an impact, but it let's me live with myself xD

[Arnenna]

Yeah agreed on all counts, this is a crazy new thing to add.

The Yule fest runs for 26 days, so that's 14 days short for the deed of 40 hand ins. Each MC reset (for anyone gullible enough to use them) costs 5MC, so that's 70 MC to finish a deed within the timescale of the festival.

IMO, everyone should live without the Wild Grey Donkey.

Where is "AK"? And is there any hint that points there? The reason I came to the forums is that there doesn't seem to be any information in game about where the "mission" is....
Thanks!

[istvana]

Cambyrun nailed it. Why fuss over a deed or quest that you do not like? Just do things that you do like and get on with your lives. It isn't as if this deed needs to be done to unlock something important.

AK is Annak-khufru, a location in the Elderslade. If you own the 3peaks expansion(which is required to access Missions and do this deed), an auto-bestow
quest will send you there to talk to Durin and Gloin.

Info from lotro-wiki, I don't have the last expac.

Not sure I see the problem with festival deeds that take multiple festivals to complete, honestly.

I might've made it a multi-level deed with something that could be completed this festival. *shrug*

[Sooule]

I agree, this is ridiculous and I refuse to use mithril coins to reset the quest. It'll have to wait until next year.

The only reason I accepted the quest is so the quest ring wouldn't be sitting over the npc and confusing me...

[Elmagor]

IMHO it's ok to have event longer when 1 fest, if it have red color warning text how many days you need to complete it, and where you need complete it

[phaelan2]

Cordovan noted in another thread on this topic that it is expected to take more than one Yule festival to complete Bringer of Good Cheer.

Seems like an odd design choice to me, but it appears that is how they decided to do it.

[ElanorFb]

Think of it this way: they plan for the game to be around for at least another year!

Well, Lifetime VIP expires in 2037... and knowing how SSG make things, they need add another 30 years to every lifetime account... manualy.

[Cordovan]

The intention of this is to add something that takes more than one festival time period to complete, for those looking for that kind of longer-term activity and reward. This is something we'd be open to doing more of if people like it, but also if the general feedback is not to do it again, we can take that into consideration as well.

Well, Cord, IMHO the feedback was bad because people don't get why something should take more than one festival yet allow those with fat wallets to complete it faster.

If the intention is for something to take time, Mithril coin reset is off the table.

I am ok with the idea of longer-term deeds, but most all of the holiday event deeds for me end up taking multiple years anyway.

Maybe for something like this, having it done in stages like the flower petals and rotten fruit deeds would be the best of both. Finish something each year, aim for the final goal to be done over a few festivals.

[Thurinuor]

I am against deeds for multiple festivals, I want to complete all of them by playing every day until the festival's end.

Some people can't play every day. So that means all deeds should be able to be completed with less than that.

Let's see...it is about 24 days long, so all deeds need to be completed in...15 days or less?

No, wait. Some players might only be able to play on weekends. So that would be...8 days?

Ack, what if some people don't game on Sundays? Got it! 4 days! Sold!

Exactly. I don't like having to wait more than a year to finish a deed when I started on time, but I'm doubly frustrated that people can pay to complete it ahead of the rest of us. It was one thing to do to Hytbold when it was OLD content and people could have already finished it starting on time, but this is just wrong.

You mean like the festival wrapper that tells you it takes 20 days to do in a festival with 25 days? Seems like a reasonable ratio.

[istvana]

I still think it is an overreaction for people to get upset because one deed for a cosmetic item cannot be gotten within the festival period and they have to wait. Darn near everything else can be gotten in one festival term - it is hardly unbalanced to have a single reward that cannot be.

Also this deed is to do something that may take 3-5 minutes to do - plus travel between Winterhome and the War Room. And the thing you do already gives other rewards so it isn't even something most people do *only* for the festival.

Perhaps a way to make this less ...bothersome ..... to some people but still keep the basic premise is to split the deed up. Do 20 missions and you get something. Something not as desirable as the full deed. But that way the deed isn't totally useless for a year.
