The first activity that had you playing with Matlal's Jewels lasted for what, 45 minutes maybe? And you have to complete all 5 for your team to get points? How is anyone supposed to be here all day every day for this event?
We can play the food game an unlimited number of times. So do we earn food each time we play, or just the first time?
o.k., sorry, I'm off to bed, 2 hours too late anyway. No idea, what will happen to me, if I haven't completed all 5 tasks today. At least I tried.
If you can't manage to collect the day's share of plot points, does that mean there's no point to whatever it is you managed to get done? One activity is not a whole lot if you can't be lucky enough to catch these obstacles.
Here's another suggestion, people need to know if what they're doing is impacting team progress. The map part really ticked me off because I aimlessly clicked around the site with no purpose, and saw nothing as a result, yet the bar progress still climbed. Did I help? I have no clue. If there's gonna be future 'obstacles' like this, it'd be nice to know if we're having any effect on the progress. Missing out on points because of this is going to tick plenty of people off.
I just can't understand how this works. What ARE the 5 activities I need to complete? How will I know what I have to do? All I have is the map image...
I'm so confused, it told me I had to play Matlal's Jewels and I did - I sent the score. But now it says I did 0/5 things, and it has a picture of a map instead of any other tasks.
its 1 am and i wont be able to collect all points today if activities are time-based. Wont sit here until 4am hoping to get next one. nope
So basically, it's luck. You keep the page with the map open and refresh and hope you're online when an obstacle hits. Great. I can't be online all day.
I'm kind of concerned about "you’ll need to complete 5 daily activities if you want that day’s share of plot points." How can I be sure when we can start accumulating plot points? I'm at 2/5 activities so either the other 3 will magically come out before the end of the day or we're not supposed to be able to get plot points today? And are all available activities guaranteed to appear consolidated on the trail page or at least give some inkling of any activity we might have "missed"? I picked up a map piece during the initial convo, but there's nothing explicit on the trail page telling me that that was one of the "obstacles."
Things are just very unclear to me, and I wish there was some nice and neat consolidated place to clear things up, but there doesn't seem to be one. I guess Rah's post kind of helped, but couldn't that be in the blue box on the trail page or in the news post or on some official board instead of me having to dig through all the news comments for it?

I just hope there's stuff for people to do to get the 5 activities done... cause if it's meant we have to be on all the time a lot of people are going to be pissed.
This is utterly confusing! A bar with the wagon appeared on top of my page. Clickable. I thought, it was time to gather more food. But I still am at 2/5 (1x food and found 2 map pieces - well, REs not actual items)
1/5 Activities...
clings to Saggitarius' coat TELL ME WHAT TO DO! sobs Tell me what to do-hoo-hoo-hoooooo... sob, sniff, choke, wail

I have gathered food over and over and all it keeps saying after I play is you have gathered food for your team and I go back and it says 1 of 5 activities and I dont know how to get to another activity sigh
Here's an idea; Checklist of things to do during a plot. There's never a sense of direction with these things. I'm pretty sure I just got assed out with the map pieces because I had no fuckin idea what I was supposed to be doing. Confusion seems to be a common element with plots on this site.
@Chocolate i didnt even SEE a pineapple haha. well looks like my list is missing something
The site should ping us so we know when there's an obstacle, right now we gotta refresh continuously to know when to help :s
Oh! Thank you for the bar at the top of the page! That is really, really helpful! :D
Also, thank you for the addition information about all of this! (:

here's some helpful advice (UPDATE):
banana - 25 points
hambone - 50 points
spiky fruit - 75 points
large ham or turkey- presumably 200 points

The tiny smiley face on the pineapple and then it wobbling upside down... why do I have to shoot it why can't I just pick it up ;-;
Wait... it told me to play matal's jewels, and I did. Got like 20k points and sent the score... yet it does not count as an activity? Am so confused!
I feel like there should be a link to the event page from the Omen Islands map. That's where the whole thing started, and I actually went back there to talk to Saggi when the news post said to, but he's gone.
Do we have to do the max 5 activities each day for it to count? Because so far I've only been able to play the food game. I've had NO other activities pop up, and it's too late for me to be hanging around waiting for something to happen.
If this resets at midnight, I and a lot of other players are not going to be able to complete all 5 activities for today. Are we going to miss out on something if we're not able to do this?

Okay I wasn't told anything so I have no idea what the 3rd activity is but I have to skip out for now so hopefully I can still help later.
I am so confused right now! I started to look for map pieces, but now the map is finished 5 minutes later. Does that mean I don't get to find any of the pieces? What exactly will I be able to do? Anything at all?!?

Wondering for those that can't be on right now will they still get a chance to complete everything? because we're going kind of fast Lol. We don't have a 3rd activity yet do we? I don't see anything
Quote by ShortAxel:
Instructions, and clear visual cues. Only one of the four progress/health bars on the page is clickable, and it looks identical to another. Either A) you notice "food" is clickable", so you expect "energy to be clickable too and assume it's broken, or B) you see that "energy" isn't clickable, so why would you expect "food" to be clickable? Either way it's confusing when it doesn't have to be, and there are simple ways to avoid this kind of mess.When will staff learn that instructions are really, really important?
I think this is a potentially really fun idea, but I really wish there had been more official explanation. I think an edit to the news post or trail page that explains things more thoroughly would be great!
