I think a lot depends on whether you enjoy these regular, predictable tasks or not. As someone who rarely imposes any structure on anything I do, I find them relaxing and fun. It saves me from having to come up with ideas of my own, which I never find very easy or entertaining.<br /><br />I suspect the people who find this sort of thing onerous are those who are already organized and log on with clear ideas about how they want to spend their time. Ironic, isn't it?Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-5327277970395919612020-01-20T08:31:27.425+00:002020-01-20T08:31:27.425+00:00I was only thinking on the weekend as I got real l...I was only thinking on the weekend as I got real life/boring stuff done and almost zero gaming that I should at least log into EQ2 to check on character's mount and companion leveling busywork. I had *completely* forgotten about the Overseer thing after completing the first few missions - the UI obviously doesn't help here as I've logged back in on my main a half-dozen times and never received a "your mission is complete" type notification, or have I and I just didn't notice it? ;-)Telwynhttps://gamingsf.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-85474556303464601152020-01-19T20:18:13.396+00:002020-01-19T20:18:13.396+00:00It seems to be the main way to get Advanced crafti...It seems to be the main way to get Advanced crafting books. Not only the regular ones that now make Adepts but the new Shadowed ones that make Experts. Since those sell for 1-2m plat on Skyfire right now (for the spell/CA making crafts, at least) that's worth trying for.<br /><br />As far as I understand the only way you get tosee a Rescue mission IS if one of your Agents has been captured, i.e. a Mishap has occured. You have to put that agent in one slot and two more in the others to do the rescue. If you ignore it, the timer just ticks down and you get your agent back but no reward, so it would be very easy not to realize it had even happened. At least I think that's how it works.<br /><br />Also, the longer the Mission takes, the better the rewards can be. I only started with the one-hour missions, I think. I'm very keen to get the longer ones as rewards - my longest so far is 3.5 hours but they go up to ten hours. And since I only started with the two basic Agents I also want as many of them to "drop" as possible, too. There are a load of traits to get and the longer missions take more agents and use more traits.<br /><br />It's a surprisingly complex system. It makes no sense in context of the game lore-wise but I long ago gave up caring about that! It works and it's entertaining which will do well enough for now.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-42049460500093439792020-01-19T19:38:45.885+00:002020-01-19T19:38:45.885+00:00I knew about the first three tabs as well, and I g...I knew about the first three tabs as well, and I guess I could convince myself that Daily Objectives was there before, but mission timers?<br /><br />I'm still kind of mixed on the Overseer thing. It is so random and unconnected to other things in the game. Very much an SOE sort of feature. I won't turn up my nose at getting a few low effort items. I like the collectibles and the advanced trade skill books, but could do without the range of potions and tiny dabs of harvestables. And then, of course, there are the additional heroes and missions. <br /><br />I've been playing it daily... I have enough agents that I can run all the missions that pop up. I get a bonus reward every once in a while, but have yet to ever have a mishap, so have never had the need to use one of the rescue missions that are available now and again. <br /><br />It is all a bit odd, like it was supposed to be more or that there is something else hidden in it.Wilhelm Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033496821708933394noreply@blogger.com
