Alyra, a question about a quest

General Discussion Started Last reply 12 posts
The quest named "A Game of Cards"

Have a simple question, or rather an observation...

I like the quest, the quest rewards are descent, etc, etc. What I don't quite get is the way you play the game, or it's purpose.

When you 1st read it, it sounds kind of like you'll be playing a hand of Poker. You get the dealer cut you a hand of 5 cards and then you flip the cards up one by one. It's not like anything is gonna change regardless of the order you flip the cards up since you don't have the option to keep some cards closed and redraw them.

So my question is, is there really a purpose to flip one card at a time? Wouldn't it be easier to simply turn all cards up at the same time?
I think its just for effects sake, they could just as easily just turn them all around.
Or to save time, "Yey, you win" or "Nay, you lose".

Yeah thats essentially what it is. You just click a bunch of unnecessary links, and look at your crude text "cards" and get your reward.

What really bothers me about this is that the quest was billed as "A mini card game to be enjoyed as a break from hunting". Yet all you do is hunt for 50 quest items then click links. It is by no means a "break" nor is it anywhere close to being a "game".
Yeah, that kinda bugged me as well, I was really looking forward to something besides grinding, but nope.
wrong, you can always gambel for 1 item.
and your total ammount will slowly increase over time.

but well clicking 30 minutes for additional 50 gems ain't fun is it ?
I prefer the Rock/Paper/Scissors game. At least then you have a chance of winning based on your choices rather than a predetermined outcome.
I am getting sooo many D-grade armor enchants from this **** quest. Never gotten anything better ><

Time to finally +6 that Clan Oath.
I agree with Purp on this one.

Not against a NPC. That's random too. Whatever you choose, you have 1 chance of a draw, 1 chance of a win and 1 chance of a loss.
Exactly the same.

It changes something when you have a real person in front of you, because of psychology. You may or not guess what the other will do on the next round.

I've gotten a few EWC but mostlys EAD. From a 61+ quest. In fact I scooped up about 8 of them someone just threw around that NPC, probably in disgust.

The only quest more annoying.. well... quests is Warehouse keepers pasttime (http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/library/quests/index.php?id=15047) where you turn in 100 quest pieces for items or (most of the time) nothing at all, and Seductive Whispers (http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/library/quests/index.php?id=15210) where you need level 4 to get a B recipe and just one loss puts you back at zero. You'll find me at this NPC cursing and spamming aura flare at least once a day.
