Hey Jack,

Could you explain the issue further? Which bounty did you receive and on which character?

Bounties are selected within a 10 level bracket of your current level so you may get slightly lower levelled bounties.

Ah, this is an intentional change.

Part of the fix we implemented for players over the level cap being unable to receive a full set of bounties due to the bracketing system.

So you may get a few lower levelled bounties but you will be able to get a total 6.

one more question muldar. was this change based on high level players feedback and was they aware of the consequences?
i will explain why i'm asking: before the update we have had a chance of getting an elite bounty which was guaranteed to be
highest tier and reward was 175k xp at lvl 232. after the change u increased the number of bounties by 1 but decreased the chance of
getting highest tier elite by adding lower tier bounties which rewarding us with much lesser amount of xp to the list.

thanks

yup, instead of normal elites u now have much bigger chances of getting normal crappy 2k xp bounties or lower tier elites. not sure about the logic behind this change to be honest
and yes this is should defo be changed back.

This change was based upon player feedback regarding being unable to receive a full complement of bounties.

In this update we have set a manual level cap on bounties.
While this has given a slightly lesser chance of always receiving an Elite Bounty this will allow you to have a full bounty table with additional standard and elite bounties.

Meaning that you can now receive multiple elites bounties and more chances of receiving bounty tokens.

The Design Team is still reviewing this and further changes may be implemented.

muldar, the point of bounties is help us to progress and what you did here is exactly the opposite. all needed to be done is add that 1 missing bounty
and leave everything else as is.
i dont mean to disrespect but there is nothing to review here and simply needs to be changed back i can assure you that all high levels at least in my clan
will agree on that.

Player feedback was that those at level 234 were short changed with 5 instead of 6 bounties. Now with 6 bounties restored, the elite bounties only give 28k XP when before the update I was getting 140xp from it. Also ostera bounty gave me 91k XP but now the Beltane bounties only gave me 28k XP. I find it laughable that muldar said the change was in response to player feedback. Please do not insult us.
