Today's tasks - kill 18 robots, liberate 13 enemy beacons. I hate enemy beacons because I'm usually 「dookie」 at capping beacons of any kind. So I switch it, and get Capture 18 beacons. Right. So I switch it again, and I get...... Liberate 13 enemy beacons.  |

Much easier to cap 18 than liberate 13. If your first bot is a griffin, rhino, light bot, or has rush you are probably going to cap one beacon per game just on the way to battle. And if you only get half today, there's always tomorrow.
The ones I change out are either ones I don't want to complete, like wsp tasks, or ones that require a bot not in my hangar (e.g. Light bot tasks). And I keep a stalker around to do the light bot beacon capping tasks.
Not sure what my point was. Maybe it was if you can't cap 18 beacons in 2-3 days you're probably the subject of a lot of these complaint threads.

I was in a hurry when I was checking this morning and was hoping for a damage task. But yeah, 18 caps should absolutely take no more than 10 games. I think I've done it in as few as four once or twice, so that was a definite brain fart on my part. |

I had these three tasks sitting for some time on my second account: deal 225,000 dmg with a medium robot in a single battle (40Au), capture three beacons with a medium robot in a single battle (40Au), destroy two with a light robot in a single battle (40Au). if this was the other account, I would be very happy. with Orkan Rog, Thunder Carn, and Plasmahad, the medium tasks will be easy. I have well-leveled Stalker and Jesse for light bot task. but this account has one AphMag Stalker and a Thunder-Taran Boa and that's it. no additional bots. also all bots are rather weak for Diamond1, where I start to face expert+ leaguers, armed to the teeth with rockets. ... just in a battle in PP, I started with my TT Boa, and followed a blue Rhino (plasma setup) to one of the side beacon (D) and proceed to the beach beacons. we capped the B, killing one Plasma and RDB Griff together on the way. after a short discussion with the Rhino (with gestures), I parted with him, went down to the beach, and turned the A beacon blue. since a Boa does not simply jump, I jogged dilligently around and up the ramp, shooting at some enemies at beacon E on the way, and finally back to the alley of beacon B, which was about to turn red. met a blue PunPatton there, finished off two dying reds together and kept the beacon. then I suddenly realized that most of the blue miraculously disappeared... we had a good beacon bar advantage, but now only my Boa and the PunPatton remaind to defend the two beach beacons. finally both of us died. I respawned at the center (C) beacon with my Stalker, played hide-and-seek with a red Thunder Natasha and killed her. a loss but I scored a respectable >460k dmg and capped 3 beacons with the Boa and the Stalker. if the Stalker killed another bot, it would have been 120Au with one battle  ... hmm I don't know what point I was going to make either ... sorry  |

Why worry about what tasks u get. The purpose of the task is not for u to acompolish some special mission to earn currency but for the devs to give you 60-70 gold a day for coming back and playing. It's a reward for playing daily.

So I switch it again, and I get...... Liberate 13 enemy beacons. Been there. I hate the Workshop point tasks. Can't wait till Influence Point tasks pop up. *eyeroll* |

How about the WSP tasks? "Capture 999999 beacons" for 40 WSP lol
I really wish they add more tasks, like something fun and different to do.

I would be happy with those...
#1 would be a piece of cake IMO - I can run a thunder carnage /Plasmahad & a Zeus carnage
#2 quick out of the blocks for home beacon... pick up 2 others in a match ... should be easy... noon map would be your friend for this always lots of beacons changing hands
#3 harder but I would put back in a Gary & kill steal ... it will come

Yeah something like "Manage to keep your composure and refrain from saying eat ?poo-poo? and die mother ?firetruck?er and be awarded 40 Au. Hahaha! No just something like "destroy 8 robots with spiral" or "destroy 3 Lancelots in a single battle" or "win a battle with a destrier in your hanger", with the possibility of getting different numbers and names, and also with a bigger gold reward like 50 or 60. |

So as annoying as that was yesterday, today's tasks were deal 2,225,000 damage and deal 400,000 damage with a heavy robot. That second one makes up for all the other ridiculeus ones -- banged out in one game. First one took a little longer, because after the first game I got a string of quick-exit BR's.

So I switch it again, and I get...... Liberate 13 enemy beacons. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry for laughing but... I do get that a lot sometimes. What to do? Suck our thumbs and just do it, Nike style!  On another note, you can always keep 3 tasks "unclaimed", example: 1) Capture 18 beacons (30 Au reward) 2) Liberate 13 hostile beacons (30 Au reward) 3) Capture 40 beacons (150 WSP reward) and you still have 2 slots for daily tasks, those tasks above will not be repeated! I keep 3 tasks related to kills and damage dealing for light bots unclaimed, each 40 Au reward, so I don't have to worry about getting those tasks again, as my hangar is mainly heavies. Take it as a mini "piggy bank" for you to save that 90 - 120 Au! |

Take it as a mini "piggy bank" for you to save that 90 - 120 Au! I do stack some tasks on occasion: I prefer to swap the WS, like everyone. But now I play on BR, like 110% of the time. I don't do Light tasks and some Med would take a looong time, I swap them out. I stopped worrying about completing tasks in 1 day! I think the get/capture... 18 whatever I will work on if needed over a couple of days. I manage the whole task list: - I dont want to lose an Au by not completing - I have rotated a task several times over several days - I dont leave any tasks on the list, I wait till I can rotate for something I want - I pay more attention to 40 Au task, will I reasonable complete this task?.. - if not dump it & get something easier!! I used to get frustrated with some of the tasks, now I try to look at them as just bonus Au. Manage the task(s), dont let them Manage You!! SoCal |
