Talk:Extraplanar Palace: Buying Time

As far as the second crystal amount for the star optional: I played on the lowest available CR. I needed 100 to complete the quest and 10,000 was the stated optional. That was both times I ran it on the lowest CR. Of course I didnt achieve that, so I cant verify it would have counted. --User:AZGreenTea


 * You're not understanding what a "star objective" is, or how objectives in the challenges work. Whatever is listed in the main objective box for challenges are not always objectives, and are rarely star objectives. That box is mainly used to inform the player of various stats related to the score.. In this case, how many crystals you've acquire over the objective.. The fact it lists them at x/10,000 is confusing I know, but its obviously quite impossible to get 10,000 - thats just the arbitrary max they happened to program in.


 * How to view star objectives:
 * Press the XP button on the panel to open the xp report, they are listed in there. Not intuitive I know, but that's how it is.


 * Sometimes star objectives show up as optionals in the objective panel, sometimes they dont.. Either way its not important. Also things that :arent optionals show up too, and when completed they generally don't give any XP. If they do give xp, we may wish to lis that, but for the :most part they shouldnt, and its generally a bug if they do. Only XP in challenges is meant to be base + 1 time bonus per star.


 * The fact it said the quota was 100, seems to be what the hotfix changed. It was 200 before, i checked my screenshots. I'll verify that and update it. --Shade 13:42, November 16, 2011 (EST)


 * You are right, that is very confusing. We should probably find a clean way to show both and explain the difference in the wiki. -- Azgreentea


 * Yea I was thinking about copying the quest template to Template:Challenge, and modifying it to better support the differences. Also please sign your talk posts. --Shade 17:12, November 16, 2011 (EST)


 * Isn't one of the star objectives completing the challenge on the hardest difficulty? So for example the 6th star on this challenge would be earned by completing it on CR 20. That means you have to complete it on CR 20 and earn all 5 other stars, correct? -AZGreenTea
