Does anyone find Summers Day to be a bit tedious for the reward?

I just went through it and thought it was a true pain for such little iMG, compared to Le Miz and Winter Walk.

The timers for the tall and also vanishing platforms seemed a bit short so I found myself redoing jumps over and over.  Le Miz takes me about 90 seconds to finish, its fun - hard at first but then it gets easier and easier.

Winter Walk is just some creative jumps and you get a nice payoff.

Summers Day drove me crazy.  It looks awesome (I love how it looks), TS folks....but really not nearly as fun to play as the others for me.

To me it needs only about a second and a half more on the vanishing platforms/tall ones, and about 1k more iMG and it would be a lot more fun/worthwhile to do.

Maybe there IS more iMG there than one big iMG quoin, but I've done this a few times now and it seems thats it for the 'goodies'.  Winter Walk is pretty generous and so is Le Miz when you compare them.

I know things get fine-tuned all the time, maybe some time can be spent on this a little?  I know there is always a long list of broken things or adjustments, so it might be a while before this gets looked at.

Thanks to any TS devs that take the time to read over this, I know you guys are always busy...it shows by how smooth Ur is most (99%) of the time.

  • I do pretty well with the tall platforms, but I'm not a fan of the "Oh, you can't swim." (which just makes me sad, especially now that I've proved I can swim in Esquibeth and Aquarius).  

    Also, elf's right on this one - the rewards are much lower and are out of line with the other more recently introduced quests.

  • I like it.  I think it's fun and not all that challenging.  Maybe you just aren't good at it?  Nothing wrong with that.

  • I always skip Summer's Day. Winter's Walk/Miserable are a lot more efficient. And faster. (And prettier.)

  • Careful what you wish for elf, there are two ways to make Le Miz & Summers Day equal...

    Keep in mind TS can tell by the # of visit metrics which ones people are using on a completely objective basis.

  • Summers Day: Bring some spinach with you = in and out quick!

  • oh of course metrics will tell if its not popular, but its also nice to give folks a place here to discuss it too

    spinach does not work in Summer's Day currently.

  • I hate games that are a test of high jumping because I really can't jump worth anything. PLEASE more like Le Miz that take a brain. A maze, a jigsaw, anything

  • I always figured that Summer's Day was just geared to low-level characters; after the new quests popped up I just stopped doing it, cool as it looks.  It gets really tedious and I find the repeated drowning kind of disturbing.

  • I don't think you're supposed to be doing any of these over and over again.  every blue moon seems more appropriate.

  • lies its all lies *runs off crying*....snffle

    no, id tried summers day a few times...just wanted it to be as fun as Le Miz, which is nice to do when I need a quick little iMG boost..

    but I tried it recently and it was really not nearly as playable as Le Miz or Winter Walk for that matter.

  • Levitate DOES work in Summers day though... and makes it quite a quick little event.

  • I've stopped reminiscing Summer Day because between "Oh, you can't swim", the very tight timing, and its extreme susceptibility to lag, the aggravation just isn't worth the reward.  Likewise, honestly, the Friendly Street Spirit; about three or four times through that was all I could stomach.  It is SOOOOO saccharine twee.

  • The sweet spot on reminiscing is when it's got enough reward that people who like the quest/area don't feel they're forgoing game progress to do it, and people who aren't so hot on it don't feel like they have to do it or they're losing out on "free" img.  Imo they *shouldn't* bump up the reward on summer's day to the point that those who find it  aggravating would do it anyway for the img.

  • The "Press spacebar to swim - Can't swim" seriously annoys me. It feels like bad experience design to tell the player to do something in a tutorial-like way and then taunt them because it's not actually possible.
