Summary0005587: no level 4 mission available when level 3
DescriptionAt least on this continent. The continent is tier 3, but there is no level 4 mission available, and thus I can't upgrade spells. I had thought the rule was 1 +1 tier and at least 1 -1 tier mission always available.

Reached tier 4, and now 1 tier 4 mission is available.

That's not really the rule -- the rule is, "always at least 7 missions." If not at least 3 missions on-tier, then add until there are 3 on-tier or there are 7. If there are not at least 2 below-tier, then add until there are 2 below tier (if not tier 1) or until 7 is hit. If there are not at least 2 above tier, then add until there are 2 above tier or there are 7.

But that gets confusing, doesn't it? By the time anyone hits the point where they might have 9 missions instead of 7, or whatever, having 9 missions won't be overwhelming.

That makes more sense. But at tiers 1 and 2 you can take a mission +1 past your tier. Unless you take level 1 missions (which at that point is relatively boring) there will always be 7 missions out there no matter how many level 2 or 3 missions you complete.

That's a strange behavior. Maybe if the algorithm was

1) Ensure there are 2 +0 missions up to a total # of missions of 7
2) Ensure there are 2 +1 missions up to a total # of missions of 7
3) Ensure there are 2 -1 missions up to a total # of missions of 7
4) Ensure there are 3 +0 missions up to a total # of missions of 7

This gives the same results as the current algorithm, but will make sure that there are at least one +1 and -1 mission available before creating a third +0 tier mission. This will mean that someone who completes enough high level missions will get a +1 tier mission. Someone who is completing high level missions should have the opportunity for a +1 tier mission.

I'm just going to go with this, and if there are more missions for a while by the time you get later into the continent, I think that's okay:

* The world map will now always try to generate at least 3 missions of your current tier, and 2 missions of the tier below your current tier (if you're higher than tier 1), and 2 missions of the tier above your current tier (if you're lower than tier 5). Previously it also tried to do that, but now it won't stop at 7 total missions, which was confusing some players.
