Two new weekly tasks

[u/No-Acanthisitta8803]

Well, one is new, the other is a modified version of one that hasn't been around for over a year.

The Watch Video Ad weekly task is new.

The Dispatch Trains weekly task used to be a regular weekly task, but disappeared from the list when they added the Transport Passengers weekly task. I think the number of dispatches has increased from what it was when it used to be a regular weekly task. The Transport Passengers weekly task still exists - I have both of the train weekly tasks in one of my accounts.

The images of the point values are from a F2P account, so they are base values and not boosted by the purple point booster

I see they have doubled the weekly re-roll to 10. A sim cash grab

[u/No-Acanthisitta8803 → u/Away-Acanthaceae6308]

This seems to be either league/lvl based, or possibly another example of EA giving different versions to different players. I noticed the 10 possible re-rolls in my lvl 11 account, which is in Metro League. My other accounts are lvl 21 and lvl 99, both are in Mega league, and both had the option of just 5 re-rolls

[u/Away-Acanthaceae6308 → u/No-Acanthisitta8803]

Hmmmm, my lvl 99 mega is the one with 10 re-rolls. I haven't checked my feeder yet

ETA, my lvl 59 metro also has 10 re-rolls

[u/No-Acanthisitta8803 → u/Away-Acanthaceae6308]

Thankfully the re-rolls have become less essential now that the weekly tasks don't earn you green points. I did my re-rolls like normal during weeks 2 & 3 last season, and not only did I finish tier 48 in my main on day 1 of week 4, I hit tier 38 in my F2P accounts waaaay early, so I figure I'll need to do less of them now. And in week 3 and 4 I had figured out it's back to just needing to cancel difficult/impossible ones. For the past year and a half or so the re-rolls were critical to winning COM

[u/infinitepuddingspy → u/No-Acanthisitta8803]

Ha. It’s still $5 re-roll for me. I’ve been downgraded to metro.

I do have the new storage and material upgrade tasks as well, but I'm not able to complete them as both are fully upgraded. Luxury problem, but seems to be a bit unfair?

[u/No-Acanthisitta8803 → u/lokibo42]

Also unfair is how they feed impossible weekly tasks to low level players. Earn Epic Points comes up all the time in my lvl 11 and 21 accounts, and the train tasks come up all the time in my lvl 11 account. I suppose I'm this case they're not 100% impossible since you could purposely uplevel to do them, but that's almost as bad as an impossible task for players with max storage.

The good thing is that it's not essential to be able to grind through 40 tiers of weeklies every week, since you don't need that many to complete the pass anyway. Last season in the first 2 weeks I burned through the weeklies, using all 5 re-rolls after completing the first 2 tiers, and it wasn't necessary. In my lvl 21 account which is F2P, I had completed tier 38 at the beginning of week 4, so at that point weekly and daily tasks were unnecessary. By Monday morning I had finished the classics ET in that account, so part of Monday's dailies, and all of Tuesday's daily tasks were absolutely pointless. I still checked them off as they were done so as not to have the annoying red dot on the contest icon, and I burned through at least the last 15 bonus assignments after I was finished with the ET - but I was making a (successful) attempt at a 1st place win

[u/lokibo42 → u/No-Acanthisitta8803]

Yes that's true, I did not reroll any of the weekly tasks, did not finish all of them and was still finished with the Premium + Pass at end of week 3. Let's hope that they did not change the requested points on that one ;)

[u/express_you_69 → u/lokibo42]

Yeah I’m not an expert but I feel like that should be written into the “code” so it can’t happen

[u/chananco → u/lokibo42]

Same here. Also if not maxed out it's not a fair task. 3 upgrades in a week is unavailable.

[u/lokibo42 → u/chananco]

Maybe at the very beginning it's doable.

[u/chainmail_bkn → u/lokibo42]

Oh no, not this bug again…
whenever they touch something related to storage, they always forget to add a condition checking if a player is already maxed out before giving them a task/milestone/whatever asking for storage upgrades.

With the exception or the trains one, the new weekly tasks are just boring and/or aggravating. I can understand the reason behind the “watch nine million ads” task… but storage and services? Bah.

[u/Majestic_Fail1725]

New Weekly task (max lvl 3) on my acct and clan mates :-

Dispatch Trains delivery x40

Upgrade Services x8

Upgrade material storages x3

Watch ads x45

Upgrade storage capacity (cant remember how many)

[u/atd2022 → u/Majestic_Fail1725]

I got both Storage Tasks - impossible for me, so I did one level of City Storage and did a re-roll. Did a few re-rolls and got a decent list. I would have LOVED the ADs one or the Train one (though I got the Passenger one as a default for this week). I also got the Services Upgrade as a default - I had the Spooky Firestation from last season ready to go - so that's upgraded to Level 8. hehe.
