[dev1137] Caravan Security

[naaros]

That is rather disappointing. =( Probably won't be able to do the escorts with my friend then if we don't both "win the pop" on the NPC.

Is there a timer on when you can do it again like Behest, too? Or can you spam them?

[Arcell]

I'm kind of hoping these will have the same one hour lockout current behests have, so that one small group can't monopolize the event.

They start every 15 minutes. A 30 minutes lockout is good enough.

erm.....sorry the caravan escort is a company quest....well it issues seals as a reward and the npc's in the companies ramble on about caravans somewhere.

so how is it that no one seems to have though....."oh hang on, might be that we get the quest from our company, the tell us to meet the escort at a location and escort it from there"? if your in a party when you gain the quest those party members can then assist.

speculation is as pointless as discussing the removal of anima.

Well, ****
Considering we can only do caravan escorts in the city state we join, I REALLY hope that people spread from Uldah, and I hope that the escort takes about 10-12 minutes, so that theres no way the people who just did it can run back in time unless they tele to the camp.

[Fated]

Why would they make initiating Caravan Security just like initiating old style Behest when they changed initiating old style Behest because it was shown to cause problems?

How does making it 15 minutes each Caravan Security run change the fact that one person could "claim" the NPC twice while the second person could get left out twice?

[Chardrizard]

Wow lay off the attacks, it will happen either way because it's new content and everyone wants to tries, it will dies down eventually.


and to quote Yoshida.

I ask that you please do not make posts that can be seen as personal attacks. I understand the frustration that players may feel, but please understand that we developers are humans too. There is a limit to how much we can do and how much criticism we can take.
We will continue to work on updates as best as we can, so I please ask that you understand where we are coming from and use the forums appropriately

what happened to humanity?

[Synapse]

Take a break and do some other things in game for couple of day after patch, the Caravan NPC would be the only one on your minimap after that.

[Gidonoidon_Sur]

So wait, only 4 people per escort?

[Teknoman]

Yeah, there will be a decent amount of stuff to do within the companies and with other companies aside from escorting a small goods caravan. Actual Grand Company quests, supply and replenishment (most likely repeatable...like those old supply deliveries in XI), and leves (most likely repeatable as well).
