Don't let Melvin give you missions that you can't finish

Don't let Melvin give you missions that you can't finish
Posted 2023-04-18 01:17:05
Today I got a mission from Melvin where I'm supposed to finish one Training session with a pup. However, I have no pups old enough to actually train. Meaning that if I want to finish my 10 day streak (and I do, this is literally the last day of it) I have to buy an age appropriate pup from someone to finish this. Which isn't too bad, you can get one at pretty low prices, but it's still a hassle.

I don't know squat about programming, so I'm asking: would it be possible to keep Melvin from giving you missions you can't finish at the time under normal needs? Like, for the code to check if you even have pups old enough to train before giving you that mission?

Like I said I don't know if this is possible with coding and it isn't completely impossible thanks to the market place. But in case it is possible, please give it a thought! Thank you!

Yeah.. I got one to level up a wolf. I did not have a wolf even close to being able to level up at the time. :(

Broke my streak.

I had many missions i cannot do (Even today) and i really hate that. Melvin shouldn't be allowed to give a mission you can't finish Or even want to do but that part is my own opinion

Honestly at this point i care little for Melvin right now due to this and wish i could toggle him off for now. T^T

Melvin gives a lot of "train adolescent" quests, and they're generally a hassle because a) I don't want to train my adols as pupsitters and herbalists and b) he sometimes gives more adol quests than adols I currently have.

In general, I think his adol quests should not be role-specific and should be limited to how many adols you currently have.

That's why I totally don't consider keeping the streak bc Melvin will give me one(sometimes 2 or even 3) mission that I cannot complete under my current condition every two to three days. My streak doesn't last longer that 5 days for this reason.

support.

one time i got quest to ultra sound a pregnant wolf ; but i din't have any pregnant wolves at the time and also none of them could breed at the time.

yes , i agree the melvin should check if you are able to do the quest . if you have a female traveling wolf; melvin should also check if the owner of the traveling wolf wants it to breed.

I got a quest to train an apprentice in foraging, when my herbalist is currently nesting. (I've also had my streak break in the past for something similar a few days ago)

I don't play often enough to just spam a new herbalist for proficiency, there needs to be something that recognises when a pregnant wolf is on their last day, so to prevent things like this. Like some code failsafe or something (idk much about coding lmao)

Eh don't get me wrong, I've had my fair share of quests I can't finish, but I also think it should be a challenge to keep a streak going, it wouldn't be much fun if all the quests were super easy I think.

Agreed to a level on challenges but it's a pain when the damn rat keeps giving you herbalist/apprentice quests and you don't have what you need to finish it without buying extra wolves you don't need for a good example.
I see these missions as simple enough and do-able esp since this rat gives 10 SB per mission and yes there's a streak but hard to maintain it when you really can't finish them because Mel isn't able to check what you can/can't do.

Another annoyance is constantly seeing him on the sidebar with no way to remove him like with the quest snake unless you finish his missions. -.-
