    Default Isle of Dread Saga - 5 Day Cool Down Timer?

    Why in the world would SSG put a 5 day cool down timer on Isle of Dread Saga? That is horrible customer satisfaction alignment. Are they trying to keep all 2000 active players from leveling their alts and low participation guilds too quickly? Given the state of the player base, SSG should doing things to support leveling alts and guilds, not putting up surprising obstacles with associated negative emotions. Screw it, I am going to stop playing this insult for the rest of the weekend. See you Monday, ... maybe.

    Can you elaborate on what this timer is? I've done the legendary saga 3 times in the last two days and haven't seen a timer.

    Was doing heroics. Did Isle of Dread on R1 first time, turned in saga. Ran it again on Elite to learn the quests, went to turn in saga and said I had to wait 4 days and a bunch of hours before turning in again.

    Based on what you’re saying seems like you shouldn’t play until Wednesday

    Thanks. Does indeed seem odd. Hopefully its unintended.

    If I remember correctly, the timers on the heroic versions are intended as there were shenanigans with the favor rewards being churned out at an overly high rate by capped players. But take that with a grain of salt, my memory on random tidbits like this is questionable.

    Default VIP + Iconic

    Lockouts are character based, so if you are VIP and can enter elite on a first life and have a shared bank for gear and to drop ingredients off, you can just keep making and deleting iconic wizards, use skeleton pet when more than 1 player is necessary, and solo farm the heroic saga until you have all the ingredients and heroic items you want.

    While I believe that some type of abuse my have caused this I don’t see how it could be related to favor since favor is a one time reward
