Personal Quest Bug

Hi,


The quest requires to defeat 500 Power Points but it does not seem so. Could you please check if it really require 500 Power Points? Thanks.

I've checked before and it did. Can you explain why do you disagree? Maybe provide a screenshot of a battle that you feel is in conflict with this and explain what you expected from that battle?

I first hit this guy and get only 6/500 Power Points.




I have to make another attack to complete the quest.

That feels correct: the first one really is only 6 power points.

I think you might be confusing "power points" with base strength. The base strength of, for example, Marauder is 40 and that is 1 power point. Nine Sappers have strength 30 * 9, so they have 30 * 9 / 40 = 6.75 power points. I would've expected it rounded up, but it seems it got rounded down, which isn't too surprising.

The second battle, when looking at pardoned Gunboats and MOWs, is

(315+525)/2/40*28 + (399+399+525+420)/4/40*19 = 500.98125,

so 500 + Zepp and DC (which I ignored).

If it was 500 base strength, you could kill 27 Bonnies and be done with the quest. A bit too cheap, don't you think? Plarium usually has I have higher losses*. ;-)

I hope that this explanation helps. If you still have questions, feel free to ask.

Btw, you can just let these quests expire (it takes 4h since activated). I usually ignore them, and I almost only do "hit 2 (or 3) prizes" and "raid 1/2/3 havens". Those things I'd do anyway, so the quests don't cost me anything.

* Actually, this requirement was much higher the first time they introduced the quest. I don't remember how much higher, but many times. I complained (I probably wasn't the only one) and they readjusted it to the current 500. Still not cheap, but doable without too many losses. However, if you Fireship someone, it would require at least 2 Fireships.

In Daily Quest, I think Power Points are calculated differently. I defeated 1 bonnie and get 19 Points.

You're right. In contract, it's basic strength really. I think it's just a matter of the wrong wording. Will ask. Thank you.
