Besides from not getting any scores from challenges, I found the ones we have now really difficult and annoying, specially challenge 3.

The tasks are a little overwhelming too, considering the rewards are not that great anymore. "Cause 1000 damage with the corn cannon"? Each corn cannon costs 1600 coins and it's a difficult weapon to use properly... I guess if you're lucky and the enemy spawn in a group AND you have a clear view you can do some damage, but it's practically impossible to achieve it in one day... (if this was intentional, ignore my whining)

I agree. It's a little bit too hard...

I got this task today and made some calculation to foresee how much money I'll need to spend to accomplish it.

-Considering that each hit of Corn Cannon does about 50 damage, it'll be necessary at least 20 Corn Cannons to cause 1000 damage points.

-Then: 20 * 1600 = 32,000 coins are required on total.

Currently, I don't have this ammount of money, what means that I'm gonna need more than a day, or even days to complete it.

Therefore, I can't accomplish this task at once, and so it stays stuck in there, disabling new tasks to come up.

Now, being a little positive, you probably will need less than 20 Corn Cannons because sometimes you'll cause more than 50 damage points and will hit more than an enemy at one shot.

In the end, you need less than 20 Corn Cannons and spend less than 32 thoushand coins, but this task is still going to be very expensive anyway.

Please Team17, or add skip option for this task, or let us do other tasks as well that we could before(earn coins, spend coins, kill certain # of worms, win games against friends...). This way, We (well at last I am) stuck.. 1600 for 1 cannon and you need at last 10 (if lucky), therefore I spend all coins I earn on that certain weapon making my arsenal empty and ability to kill more worms and earn more coins lower, so im stuck! And if those other tasks are here, we could get some weapons as a rewards + coins which would help a loth.

Hello. The Corn Cannon damage task has been reduced from 1000 to 500, in the latest update. If any of you have already surpassed 500 damage, you will complete the task the next time you cause damage with the Corn Cannon. The rewards for completing the task remains the same.

I don't think it was that much actually, yes the new weapons are expensive but with proper strategy and a little bit of luck you can do 1000 damage in 6 or 7 games :)

Though you cause all this damage, you'll still need 10 of them, which'll cost 16,000 coins.

Actually, 8,000 now.

It's still expensive, but the other 8,000 coins you save can use to buy Banana Bombs, which are so good and destructive weapons.

Either way, you need to have a little challenge, right? If everything was simple and easy it would ruin the fun, for me at least.

The "Corn of the Dead" task is much more frustrating for me than the ones with the 1000 damage!

I agree with you about a little challenge.

But that was indeed a BIG challenge.

Thank you, Team17, for listening to us :D. The new damage quota is perfect (not too little nor too much).

And I am still unable to complete challenge 3 (Sheep Invaders) with a decent score (never scored over 10,000 :/). How did you guys do it?

I bought 5 and used it every time a worm was next to water, ended up using only 4 as I managed to kill 2 worms in one go.

I still think that task was dull. Spending only 15 to 20 minutes playing the game daily that definitely took way too much time to accomplish :p
