Quest-A-Thon: WOW so many quests done!
Just to clear up a question we’ve gotten a few times regarding that top 100 prize:
We expect a lot of ties. The way we’re going to be awarding this prize is each of those 100 places are their own separate thing. Say we have 4,291 users complete every single quest available. They would tie for that first slot. If 329 people missed only one quest, they’d all tie for that second spot! You could miss 100 quests over the quest-a-thon and still place within that top 100.
We figured this was the fairest way to make sure people are awarded for their hard work! We didn’t want to make it the first 100 people to do all their quests or just give it to anyone that did every single quest and call it a day.

Users are always angry about something. We hardly ever do these & we're doing so good? Give us stuff~ :D
please
Seriously, it'd be so nice to give more people a chance at previous rewards that can't be gotten any other way.

We are at 50% of the goal done, after two days. I don'T think the caps need to be moved, we're gonna hit a million over the next ten days.We could get more quests done if the sP cap for Sarah's quest is removed and the minimum for Saggi's is lowered.
Probably been mentioned, and I get not adding stretch goals for only the top questers who go over their marks to keep it fair. But maybe add one that EVERYONE will recieve if we make say 1.5mill. Even if they only did one quest we all unlock like a sticker or something? Just an idea. I know that I personally won't be motivated to keep questing past the original goal once we make it there.

As great as this is for everyone... I wish there was a special reward for people who DO manage to complete every single quest each day. :/
Stretch goals are additional collective goals, not additional individual, to get people to remain active even though the quest-a-thon is not ending until next Friday.
Just make them more participation prizes. Like, it could be past forum titles, Evil Morty Challenger and Fashion Hoodie.

@AmberWe won’t add new prizes. We’d rather announce all prizes at the start so people won’t be penalized in the middle if we add something and they had stopped questing because they met whatever requirements and then … miss out on something. If that makes sense!
wait, i don't get it -- if all the prizes outside of the gold avatar border are given to you so long as you do one quest, how does anyone miss out on prizes announced after they stopped questing? wouldn't they still qualify for everything besides the top 100?
I understand the reasoning that you dont want to disappoint users by adding goals in the middle and then we don't meet the goals, but imo keeping the forward momentum of actual user activity is important as well!
Not to mention, I think we're still at the stage where people are still being diligent about the quests, since we haven't actually crossed that goal line. So I think the timing would still be great for announcing further incentives to encourage further questing! Otherwise the event will just kind of be like.. over and everyone can just stop after 5 days.

Yeah, rereleasing Evil Morty would be rad for people who missed out on him in 2018It'd be cool to be like hey you get a challenger for 1.5mil quests. Or hey you get the fashion hoodie for 2mil quests. Or something like that.
But I've already missed over 100 with not being able to load anything yesterday. Plus not being able to do Sarah's...
I guess I'll just have to hope it works out for the best.

Was afraid this news post would be about there initially being an error in the way quests were counted & each completed was actually counting more than once or something.
Guess we are actually doing this well~ haha. Good job, us! :D

Can anything be done about quests that have had to be skipped due to unavailability of items? (Thinking particularly of Maleria requesting Bleeding Rose of Deepest Darkness, of which 0 were available in shops on the first day.)
just wondering. since Sarah 15 quests are only for the lower Sp .. since people with higher amounts cant do them .. how does that impact higher Sp holders or is there a way to do them that im missing?
Wow so much appreciation for this! I thought I was done for after missing half my quests yesterday LOL I mean I probably still am but... <(￣︶￣)>
If we go over the amount of our goal by like, another mil or so, I'd think it would be cool to have an additional prize, like a clothing voucher or something. I don't necessarily need more pet spots (I think I'm sitting on one or two right now that I'll probably never use), so maybe a different additional prize of some sort.
We are also about to get hit by a hurricane Laura so I do not know if we will have power when it hits!
Don't need any more pet slots, got several I'm not using. Maybe something else if we get over the limit, that would be nice. :D
I could not finish some of the quest last night because the site crashed does this mean I have no chance at the top prize? I can not do Sarah's quest unless I bank my money and that is not going to happen!
I don't know how I missed that there was a top 100 thing, too? I think I missed A LOT of quests on Day 1 due to lag and giving up.
@Amber I understand not wanting to penalize people who skip out early once the goal is reached, but what if we double our collective goal of 1 million quests to 2 million? Or even triple it? At this point that is looking likely. Would you guys consider making it so that everyone could get two pet slots instead of just one?
Im sad bc with lag last night i wasnt able to get nearly all the quests done. still jazzed for the pet slot though :D
Love the clarification! I was lucky enough to dodge the lag so haven't missed a quest yet but I'm really thankful of the way you guys are handling it. :) Thanks a bunch!
Woah, that's so nice! I love the whole Subeta Team, proud to be playing this game for 10 years :^)
That's awesome, 'cause I didn't get an extra wizard quest today or yesterday, but just by chance someone might get him every day or something...

@ouo I’m a very benevolent overlord
@FelineDreams Every quest available. That includes Sarah, Saggi, Blue Building, and Carl (all have their own specific requirements).
@taekeyla If y’all hit the goal early, the quest-a-thon will still go on. It will continue until the end time we provided in the first post! We won’t add new prizes. We’d rather announce all prizes at the start so people won’t be penalized in the middle if we add something and they had stopped questing because they met whatever requirements and then … miss out on something. If that makes sense!
@Terra Yep!

Nice. I admit I was a bit worried about a potential kerfuffle regarding the Wizard Quest buff giving some people extra quests. Now that it's less random I am less concerned, lol.
Oh, so people that don't manage to get the extra quest buffs still have a change at the top 100?
so if we hit the goal within a few days will it end or keep going? if it keeps going would you make a new goal with new prizes or? not tryna sound greedy or anything, just curious.
@Amber I had a quick question...when you say every quest available, does that mean you had to do BOTH saggitarius AND sarah, or was it one or the other..?
Thanks for the clarification! I was worried because I missed 15 quests (Sarah's) yesterday because I wasn't sure we were allowed to store sP in order to do them.
oooh wow okay, that's a lot more generous than it seemed! now i feel like you'd have to try NOT to place in the top 100 lol. phew.
you guys are the worst ugh I'll look into maybe some stretch goals. (I love you all)
