Coin Task Timers

Coin tasks now have a 6 hour lockout instead of a 3 hour lockout. So now we all get to play half as much and i dont have all that time to spend cash on micro transactions. thanks for helping me saving money developers =) now i can spend the cash on my phone games instead, they seem less allergic to money.

The fact that they increased timers really pisses me off, they dont give enough currency per mission to have a 6 hour lockout. its ridiculous. either give us the 3 hour timers, increase the amount of currency gained, or decrease the cost of the merchants items.

All the latest expansions were 6 hours lockouts. How is this a surprise to anyone it got fixed? If anything, the two months you got half timed lockouts for was a bonus.

Feel free to go pay to win (and complain) somewhere else. Not that the above quote made any sense at all.

Because it gives them something to whine about even though they know deep down inside 3 hours was a screwup. Prior expansion lockouts should have been a huge give away DP F'd up with the three hour lockouts.

Sure they could have said somethin about changing them to 6 hours, but we all know they would have only received pushback.

Be thankful DBG's didn't classify this as an exploit. You know what happens with abusing exploits. Suspensions and coin/items deleted from your inventory.

Idc honestly, but last year 6 hrs made more sense bc could farm nonlore slot5s in open ones, and even the wrong ones if camps taken, since you could sellem for currency.

How would this be an exploit ?

If the lockout time is 3 hours and you are doing the mission every 3 hours you are fine.
Now, if the lockout was 3 hours and you were somehow doing the mission every 5 minutes then THAT would be an exploit.

and that is why it was changed.

If there was an exploit allowing people to do the missing more often than every 3 hours what would changing the lockout to 6 hours do ? People could continue to bypass the lockout.

Instead of doubling the lockout time maybe fix whatever exploit was allowing people to bypass it ?

There was no exploit. It's been evened up to 6 hours, just like the last several expansions. Almost like the 3 hours was a mistake in the first place...

Lockouts didn't double, trying to act like a 3 hour lockout on a traditional 6 hour lockout tasks is just weird.

Isn't it only Shei that's been increased to 6 hours? which makes it seem even more like it's not intentional

Bro, are you really going to deny that 6 is double ‘3’?

Design decisions change all the time, what happened in one expansion doesn’t always carry forward to the next as some sort universal law.

don't give enough currency? had two full sets of tol type 5's before the new year 2.5 months ago mostly because of that short lockout. How are the timers being what they should have been in the first place ridiculous.. what?? they made it easy for us for 3 months /boggle

They change what they want when they want.

I'm not going to cry over a petty change that has historical evidence to support a 6 hour replay timer. Would it be nice to get an official word yes. Did I appreciate them being 3 hours...you bet.


The last 3 months does not demonstrate a design change. The XP model was a design change from grinding to one time bonus xp on progression (not a real fan of it), Gear in TBM was a design change. Lockout durations on currency missions are not a design change but an oversight

You complain about changes all the time. Why wouldn’t people complain about something that impacts their gameplay?

What about the new players?
Wont somebody think about the new players!?

Just using some very rough numbers here, but ToL was released on December 7th 2021
Getting roughly 40 coins per mission and running a mission every 3 hours it would take 12.5 days to get 8 augs at 500/per.
So, if you played nonstop from release you could in theory have a complete set by Dec 20th.

Must be nice not having to work, eat, sleep, use the bathroom....

It’s called automation.

Math is way off...there are 4 missions that can be done for coin, not 1.
