Hi,

One problem we always face during team races is that sometimes one person calls a task, but someone else ignores that and does it before them, and effectively steals their points. My team members have been able to check this to some extent through screenshots, but it is very impractical.

I am referring specifically for the one for all tasks, as other tasks are joint anyways.

This stealing of tasks/points is a unfair to the rest of the team, and a nuisance which I am sure not only our team faces. So I wanted to suggest if any of the following changes can be incorporated into the game:

1. Anytime a task is completed the name of the member who completed the task briefly shows above it.

Alternatively:

2. There be a call button for members to call the task, and only the member who calls the task gets the points for completing it. Calls could be transferred between members if need be.

Alternatively:

3. At the very least show who is online from the team rather than just showing Online: 10/30 for example. That can help narrow things down.

Not sure if anyone from the development team reads these threads. If not, can someone please suggest where I should post this? Thanks.

Totally agree ! We need better ways to communicate and have control over those tasks during races.

Plus I would love if lead and co-leads had a way to send a notification to all team members to their phones, on new nodes. Instead of using third party ways (messenger,discord).

This is something @carlos should be looking into communication in game is very poor an option to see who is online would be great and op makes some good points about the 1 for all.

@mm5657 I fully agree. At least there should be a way for leads and co-leads to see who is online, and who completed the task.

Like the suggestions, although some has already suggested ideas as well regarding that point, and yes the team does read the threads. Would be nice actually if any of these can be implemented, been there myself

These points have been brought up numerous times could @carlos or @fox confirm if there are going to be a any changes made.

I have busted thieves on this many times.
It's best if you have 2 accounts or can use your kid's tablet, but still can be done with any other player on the team.

One person keeps the page open on the screen that shows all points for all team.
The other person waits until node is complete and then compare the two screens to see who gained 500 points. That is your thief.

@monsterbath we just take screenshots of the whole thing. If they start ghosting a joint effort, we'll finish the joint effort so we can automatically see

I actually think they remove the individual rewards for the race. They removed it from the battlegrounds where I wasn't as nearly as big of an issue. Individual rewards actually puts team members against each other.

The worst is when they gems a very easy task like breed 20 commons, just for points.

@lloyd-t-prendergast That's actually a very good idea. It would be easy to implement for the developers. Not only would it solve this issue, but also the issue where, to skip a one for all task, one member has to take it for the team and use up hundreds of gems, while the rest do nothing.

They already made it u have to get 10k points to get food instead of original 5k now u want them to take away rewards as well this is a terrible idea if anything they should be increasing rewards especially for players gemming nodes I feel they should get more points. This game should not be about taking things away it should be about adding to experience of the game that’s why op had some great points about been able to see who is online who did the node etc, again let’s not take away from game lets add to it to make it better.

@mm5657 & @lloyd-t-prendergast, to remove the individual rewards would totally discourage anyone to make the INDIVIDUAL POINTS! We make it very clear to post what you can do on the QUESTS. We usually have 1 new one trying to be a QUEST HOG, but after posting the warning not to do it, it usually stops. That's also why our TEAM doesn't care about doing the TBG. The rewards are just not worth all the trouble!

@mamawjane I get what your saying, but in the long run it discourages TEAMWORK. And to be honest I dont even like the fact that in a competition you pay to skip part of it. Imagine a basketball player handing a ref some 'tokens' and saying let's skip the jump ball...

I get that it's the game, but it's been a problem to me. I dont care if you want to spend thousands of gems to get monsters or whatever, but I just dont like that aspect of the pay to win strategy. I do it, because otherwise I'm defeating myself and holding back my team, but I still dont like.

@lloyd-t-prendergast We put Epics in to start breeding in the 2-3 days before the RACE starts. I have the 80% Breeding Guardian that makes the Epics 6 hours 35 minutes. We usually can get the earlier Epic breedings done with very little gems if we use any at all. We put the Quests on our DISCORD page that TEAM AFKK kindly posts for everyone so we know in advance when the "hard Quests" are coming up in advance. For our Team, it definitely encourages TEAMWORK. Sorry it doesn't do that for your Team!

@mamawjane thats great, you have a very dedicated and supportive team. And it looks like your team spends a lot time planning and preparing,which is cool if it works for you and you enjoy it.

Our team is more casual than that, which doesn't mean we are not competitive. We are just random people that came together to play a game. Some of are students, some of us work full time. Some of us are parents, some of us are children. Some of us are f2p, some of aren't. I say that to say that your was is not our way. But we are still a dedicated team whose goal is be competitive, without it becoming a second job.

We just see the game differently

Nice to know the Social Point did absolutely nothing in this regard. New race, same old problems. Are we sure they even read these threads?

@heather-mary228 I will delete your post there is no epic node in 1st lap and for whatever reason your post is hard to read and plain rude
