And i hope that they will take in consideration that they better not mess up the mission counts on mobs already killed on open missions........
The progress players have made on missions already in progress will not be affected.
As an example-
Just before the August 21 VU, imagine you have completed 999 kills of a creature whose mission requires 1000 kills. You will have the ability to log in after the VU, kill one creature and receive the new reward.
Guidelines for mission rewards, eh? I recommend giving planet partners some "what stuff you can put in your loot galore and what you can't without asking" guideline first.
We want our planet partners competing for your activity on the basis of quality content, excitement and fun factor offered to participants, not on the basis of easier missions, easier availability of more powerful items, or other balancing-related areas.
Over the past few months MindArk has been making a very detailed review at various balancing issues on the different planets, and we have revised or expanded our guidelines to planet partners to ensure balance and fairness in many areas such as creature loots, item balance, and mission rewards. This announcement regarding mission rewards is but one part of a much larger, ongoing effort to create a universe that is equally challenging, fun and rewarding for participants on all of Entropia Univere's planets.
We understand that the changes required may cause frustration or confusion for some participants, but we also realize how important this effort is for the future health and stability of Entropia Universe. We ask only that you have a bit of patience and understanding during this period, we are confident that the end result will be for the best for everyone involved- you the participants, MindArk, and the planet partners.
Simple they just need to give several options as reward. High lvl players > attribute. Medium level > skill. Ofc make it optional. Then they wouldn't need to nerf the attribute gain from missions, ppl can still get it if they want too instead of skills.
Under the new mission reward guidelines, planet partners will still have the ability to offer several different reward options for the completion of individual missions, such as skill-only, or skill+attribute, or even skill+attribute+tokens.
What about players that did the missions and got novas for 5k mobs, such as trox/feff/spider ?
Will they have mission "refund"?
There will be no retroactive refunds or reimbursements for missions that have already been completed.
