Could you please make Wondrous Tails an actual sticker book?

[TarynH]

The randomness of in-game content is getting rather frustrating. I don't care if you have to lower the prizes for Wondrous Tails, but could you please take the randomness of collecting lines out of the equation?

Why not make the effort invested = the reward? Instead of collecting "lines" why not make the point of the book to collect all of the stickers? Like an actual sticker book.

4 stickers = prize 1
8 stickers = prize 2
12 stickers = prize 3
16 stickers = prize 4

In other words, the more you fill out the book, the more you're rewarded. Again, I don't mind the rewards being scaled back a little to balance things. I just want to feel like something is accomplished for even doing the content to begin with.

You could get rid of the "shuffle" in Second Chance, and simply have "retry" if someone wants to bypass a certain objective. (Maybe some of us don't like PvP or the listed raids.) And as long as we're going there, make this more of a daily login thing. If we log in, we get a Second Chance point. Make it fun!

Sounds like tome grinding 4.0

Care to elaborate?

How about you just let me shuffle with 9 stickers. I really don't mind farming for Bonus to get more second chances, but leaving those last 2 slots up to luck is somewhat aggravating.

Because it still makes the thing incredibly dependent on randomness. If anything, trying to get more "shuffles" makes the content entirely more grindy than it should be. Instead that time could be invested in simply filling out the rest of the book. 16 pieces of content in 1-2 week(s) is very manageable, with possibility of 7-14 retry points for logging in (to manage the content to suit your play style).

Something like this was asked at Vegas Fanfest, but was flatly rejected by YoshiP. Seems like the idea for Wonderous Tails is inherently tied to rng, and the devs probably won't budge much from that viewpoint.

Besides, adding "guaranteed"-but-inferior rewards sounds like a boring option. If the prizes aren't cool and fun then what's even the point?

Would be nice if we could use Bonus points to block up to 3 spaces.

Eliminating the RNG aspect would significantly reduce the reward-- to the point no one would bother. People are consistently doing Wondrous Tales right now because the mere chance of three lines is incentive enough to motivate them. If you were guaranteed a reward for just grinding sixteen stickers, it'd be something like 150 Scripture. At which point, why not just do your Roulette?

Only thing I can say is the past 3 weeks, I am a little sick of getting 1 or no lines at all. Thought my luck would finally turn around this week after shuffling 4 times at 7 stickers to only get 1 line but missing 1 sticker to get 2 lines but nope, both slapped into corners I can't use. I mean yeah the rewards overall arn't exactly "WOW!" or anything but still not fun get bottom rung every time.

I don't know if it's possible with the current setup, but maybe if they increased the chance to get 1 line while keeping 2 and 3 lines as rare as they are right now people wouldn't feel like they are wasting their time.

But I agree that it cannot be guaranteed rewards, they would then remove all the goodies and it wouldn't be worth to do, or they keep the goodies, which then become worthless and wouldn't be worth to do, the high value of the items is the only reason why WT is so popular right now.
