220 points of the achievements are tied to expeditions. Not sure if this matters as I don't think you need to get all of the points to max out the pop on the Easter basket. Just find it funny, after the horrible feedback PvP has received by the players, that BB would even bother. The PvP system is a failure BB, get over it, fix it, and come out with PvP 2.0. Stop trying to goad us poor users into actually using the current system.
Someone pointed out the potential problem in another thread. The random, sometimes repeating, quest line with the final one being very short may mean that the basket cannot be fully upgraded without expeditions.
is a developer going to respond to this, it was my understanding pvp was to be choice, id like an alternative to raise easter basket to lvl 6 without pvp
PvP stinks and many are not playing that part of the game. It's practically undoable.
If it's part of the Easter house upgrade requirement, then that stinks too.
For what it's worth, you can get to level 6 without doing PvP. You just have to get EVERY other achievement.
It is possible to upgrade the Easter Basket to level 6 without completing any PvP achievement.Quote:

This assumes that you are able to complete every Easter quest, and the game may make it impossible to do that as it did last year and the year before. The quests are random, so you may get the same one twice, not get one of them at all, and have a short window of time to complete the fourth regardless.
I know from my post history I did not get all of them last year and had very little time to reattempt the one I regot. http://forum.thesettlersonline.net/t...l=1#post236392
I'll throw out there that I never tried PvP until last night, because I figure I have to to get that level 6 egg basket.
Surprisingly I found that I really enjoyed the PvP mechanic, and wish I could do more of it.
As others have said many times, the problem is the cost. I've got a pretty nice iron chain set up, and I can barely afford to make the weapons for one small colony attempt in a day. Leaving aside that the cost of the weapons is completely out of whack with the potential rewards, it just takes too long to make those weapons in order to enjoy PvP on a more regular basis. If I can run one or two whole fairy tales solo a day and recover those troops a day or two later, it seems crazy that I can't produce the weapons for 300 pvp troops a lot faster.
I'll probably manage to get a couple pvp achievement levels to get that lvl 6 thing taken care of...but I don't see how anyone under level 50 without a somewhat ridiculous iron chain set up (or tons of coin) is going to have a chance.
We will reduce the cost of the expedition weapons very soon. More info in the latest changelog.Quote:

good to hear that, reduced cost of weapons or expedition troops besides a better loot from PvP will give us a new fun in this game, thanks BB.
That is great news, very glad to hear it.
I think I'll give it a try once those reduced costs go into effect.
Good reduction in costs. Let's try it out and see how many easter eggs we can get. yummy I hope they are the chocolate blue stripy kind. :P
yeah I'm kinda disappointed that pvp is tied to Easter achievements. Not very nice way to force some people to do them. hopefully there will be other way to upgrade the basket to L6 after?
It's a business. Manipulation is a tool they love to use.Quote:

For now I am holding back on doing the 5x "where eggs come from" adventure till I see the other 3 quest lines done.
Yeah, no surprised there ES. I've tried to do pvp and it SUCKS ROYALLY. Expensive, and why the hell they would limit the troops numbers? Training exp does not teach enough, so I'm giving up on my l6 baskets. I've heard that few people don't even bother putting basket house up or taking it down. Another event BUST. Way to go BB!
Even at level 5, it's still better than a frozen manor.
mine has been at 5 for a few days and if you have all the explorers it shouldn't be a issue getting to 6, got over 1500 eggs from searches already and it's day 5, so it's not that hard to lvl it to 6 in the 3 week event time frameQuote:

Guess it will depend on how much you willing to pay for it. This week's quest line asks for 1500 exotic wood, I imagine next week will be titanium ore.Quote:

Is it 100% certain that we will get 4 unique chains before the removal phase?
If this is not the case, then we are forced to PvP to complete the level 6.
I have received the second quest line today.Quote:
