'Invisible' event task lists are detrimental to player progression and enjoyment

    Please don't make tasks invisible to the player! This is detrimental to the system. You create hesitancy and uncertainty. A player wants to know how to proceed. Tell us in the system what we've finished!

    If a card has multiple tasks inside it, do not give a player a simple "meter" of completion.

    For example, the fish task in the "Wish You Were Here" event.
    I entered the event this week with one of the trophy fish already completed. I had NO idea what one. Now I had three other fish to complete, sure, but I had no idea which one to avoid to save myself the effort and time-sink.

    Please avoid this! PLEASE.

    Would be nice for the fight 3 fleets/meg/ etc too. You could set it up similar to MS rewards that show you what you've done to get the % you have.

    This task in particular suffers from poor English actually. What they should have said is that you need to tackle each of those particular events 3x each. One word to modify the entire notion that the task instills in a player. Because that's what made it actually complete for me. I too felt like it was bugged.

    Tend to agree and especially for the "World Traveler" one. That is near impossible to track unless you are literally keeping a ledger while you play. I burned lots of frustrating time trial and erroring the last 2 needed.

    First visit 5 islands in one region (see what counts to be sure), then in another region and so on.

    Did also a Treasury in the first one, so I knew where not to go for a second one.

    Actually, it should have been more like

    Battle any three out of Ghost Fleets, Skeleton Fleets, Kraken or Megalodons.

    Because you didn't need to do them three times each, just three out of the list of four only one time.

    The original wording is wrong though.

    It’s AH fish, it is not something that takes forever to figure out
