New Behest Schedule

[Reika]

I think they should have changed it to 15 minutes instead, that way the party will be out on a behest while the new behest starts, ensuring a completely new group would be able to go on a behest. If it is 30 minutes, then they will be done before then and can just sign up again, blocking the new group from entering.

I like this idea but from what I have experienced so far there is not many people actually doing behests. Most of the time I see 1 - 5 players doing behest. There are times when it's more and maybe it's just the time I play the game. If more players start doing behests maybe they will make it 15 instead.

Oh you haven't seen camp broken water yet lol. There are 6 full groups there the time I play at.

There was a time when Nophica Wells was always full as well. Now, sometimes quite a few people join, sometimes not...just depends if a leve group or two are running around.

I agree Reika some camps do get a little busy and some people will not get in...therefore people will be waiting at the camp for nothing.

Luluna, Cool sig. off topic ^^;

There are plenty of camps to choose from so it really doesn't matter. O_o Especially when/if they open Coerthas and Mor Dhona Behests.

^This.

If not this then it would be nice if they could program in some restrictions like being unable to run two concurrent behests at the same camp.

This is ideal for those who do Behest religiously. Due to the party size being cut in half, behests will undoubtedly get full every single time, and there'll be people getting hung out to dry.

This cycle reduction helps alleviate that problem significantly. Now, only if Yoshi-P would add behests for the R45+ folks in Coerthas! :3

That's the issue: the new method probably won't alleviate the problem it will more than likely contribute to it.

.......unless of course the 8-man behest can't possibly finish in the 30 minute period, thus ensuring that the next cycle will begin while people are still wrapping up the cycle before. Then my argument is likely moot

They are also increasing the difficulty I think so that might just happen

I can see the issues with that too. As much as I'd hate to start pinning on restrictions for people, I had an idea about flagging the character with a 1 Behest/hr limit. Think about how Fields of Valor works (I know they're removing portions of the limits soon, but not all of it), you can only take one page an hour and get rewards. Do it like that, and keep the Behest reset at every 30 min so enough people are still able to go around for the later in the hour start.
