The town board missions labeled as “Town Upkeep” is believed to lower the cost of upkeep taxes paid by the governing company.
My feedback is simple, the amount of turn-ins of the “town upkeep” town board missions required to lower the taxes due by the company I believe was figured based on an extremely active and early New World community. Meaning, everyone was leveling their character utilizing those town upkeep missions among others. While I hold a great amount of hope that we will see that many new active players leveling and doing town board missions, I don’t believe it is reasonable to expect this. Lets say an entire company of 50-100 people turn in a full set (3 town upkeep town board missions) per day. This is not enough to lower the taxes paid by the company a considerable amount. I believe for it to be a viable option in lowering taxes it needs to be based more on an average of turn ins NOW rather than an average of turn ins when the game was new and nearly every single character was trying to power level using town board missions. As it stands right now the town upkeep missions are basically useless aside from gaining standing, please consider re-figuring the required amount of turn-ins to reduce company taxes.
Additionally just as a quality of life improvement every other town board mission has a progress bar, is there any reason you do not track the progress required to bump the company taxes down? This way we are not just turning in town board missions over and over in the hope and dream it will lower company taxes? Having a visual of “we’re halfway there!” or “we’re 90% of the way there to a reduction lets keep going!” makes it more appealing, rather than continually turning in not know what progress you’ve made, or what progress is needed. Its like leveling your character from 1 to 60, except you don’t get to see what level you’re at until you hit 60. Its ludicrous. Please consider tracking the town upkeep missions on the town board after re-figuring the required turn ins based on todays turn ins rather than the early game turn ins.
Did you even notice a change to territory upkeep costs when doing town upkeep townboard quests? We have been spamming those quests every day and have not noticed any changes. Is it broken? Wouldn’t surprise me since there are so many problems in this game. How can a company justify upgrading the outer territories such as Mourningdale and Cutlass Keys when there is no possible way of reducing the town upkeep other then just not upgrading those cities.
Can you provide us with more details? Which server are you on, which territory are you seeing this happen on, etc.? It will help our team narrow and track down the issue by giving them a solid starting point where this is known to happen.
Server: Yggdrasil
Territory: Everfall
Our company of 80+ people (75+ active within 24 hours) started last week monday (2-14-2022) completing two or more full turn ins (6+ quests) daily of the town upkeep on the town board. We expected at least a slight reduction in the 110K upkeep cost and over the course of the 7 days we did not see it drop at all. We tracked well over 500 turn ins with no change in our territory’s upkeep.
at first we thought it might have just required a massive amount of turn ins, but now we are thinking it is a bug because we haven’t been able to lower it at ALL.
As far as I can tell the ONLY purpose for the Town Upkeep projects is so there is always a town board available even if the governing Company doesn’t have any upgrades set in the other 3 categories. It doesn’t lower the territory’s upkeep costs at all. Would love it if it did, tbh.
hey @Luxendra this thing - Town Upkeep Quests at Twonboard it hasnt been working since 1st beta = never.
Like this is know thing that it doesnt work and there is no diff on server, world set, region etc.
Please let us know if this is supposed to lower governing company taxes paid. If it does not I would HIGHLY suggest implementing it as a new game mechanic, as currently almost every territory will operate at a loss unless the server is completely packed, topped with que times.
We are here talking about lowering the territory upkeep. So for example say you have every station maxed to 5, taxes gonna be hefty, to mitigate that we should be getting a lower rate as we turn in “Territory Upkeep” missions on the town board as the name would suggest.
@Cplhopper
At one point we THOUGHT we might have seen a 5 or 10k reduction, but now we’re thinking it was un related to the town board, as seemingly no amount of turn ins are lowering the upkeep.
Maybe one day they will actually get this thing fixed and running properly lol. We gave up running the townboard upkeep quests. It hasn’t done anything.
I really think this last patch has been a tipping point. They finally fixed more things than they broke. Next patch huge quality of life improvements. I have hope they will make the town upkeep missions with a progress bar that provides governing companies a discount with a logarithmic growth discount.
