Easter Quest "5 days"?

Quote:

Event Quest Chain:
One Easter Quest Chain (with 5 sub quests) every 5 days will offer a rewards Stripy eggs

Supposedly the Easter Quest chain is designed to spawn 5 days after the Launch. And those who haven't finished the current, sees it appear as "waiting quest". But more than 5 days now have passed. We're going on the 7th day now.

It launched last Tuesday. Today is Monday.

If it is a truly 'weekly' quest spawn, 7 days. Then the achievement can't be completed before the removal I phase.

Removal I phase is April 7th.

March 17th - Quest chain one.
March 24th - Quest chain two??
Match 31st - Quest chain three??
April 7th- Removal I - NO quests will spawn.

Quote:

"Removal phase I: April 7th 2015, right before the maintenance"
•Easter Quests will be deactivated Open Easter (sub-)quests can still be completed, but no new weekly quest will spawn afterwards.

Notice the words "BEFORE" the maintenance.

ALSO- If the Quest chain duplicates. This will ALSO cause problems preventing those from completing the achievements. Why have achievements that are designed to fail (not be completed).

Please post if you already got your 2nd quest chain and also if you got duplicates or not.

Wonderful to hear.

(I'm still waiting for my second chain. It's been more than 6 days now. The diary says 5 days. Something must be wrong?)

I have one word to devs. If you guys (for whatever reason) screw up the Easter quest chain rather due to not enough time for people to finish it (design flow) or due "random" quest spawn (2x of the same instead of new one - again design flow) you are going to see a level of anger similar to the uproar about your last year "combat balance".

First, this egg house is a fantastic, spectacular and awesome idea. 2x2 lot and more to house than anything else in game. Props to whoever thought about it. However, not all people play PVP and the only way for players who don't - to get it to top level - is to finish all other achievements.

Coming up with adventures that require 6-8k troops to finish and at the same time choking up potential housing by NOT making Frozen Manors more available (60k coins on ares once or twice a week on TO) is a dangerously upsetting mix. I am not criticizing - simply pointing out that pushing population pass 5k is really hard without FM's. Yes you can fill your island with nobles and just give up on production or adventures...

So here comes an amazing opportunity for all players (who don't have a reliable chance at FMs) to get a fantastic housing, small, slim and top notch at top level...IF ALL THE CHAIN QUESTS ARE DONE IN TIME. I hope you guys thought this through and you WILL NOT MESS THIS UP. Because if you do... you are going to make a lot of people unhappy.

Why I worry? With all respect the devs record is not so shiny on things like this. I am keeping my fingers crossed, you made it right this time...

They better do it right... My egg house is at lev 5 already, doing 2nd quest chain. If I am not going to get all 4 quests chains and enough time to do them.. I am going to be seriously pissed off.

Second quest chain last night, not a duplicate. Last year, I believe I had 2 days to complete my last one, which I couldn't finish and was a duplicate anyway. This year I can finish any of these quests in that amount of time. Now it's a question of luck of the draw whether I get a duplicate again.

I got the second chain and it was not a duplicate. Several in the guild reported the same. Maybe the quests are on different time zones?

I'm still waiting on my second chain. For some reason it's not triggering it. And it's now Tuesday. Isn't it suppose to be 5 days to get the chains. Even after 5 days regardless if you finished the first one or not. It shows up as 'waiting quests'.

If its 7 days to get the quest chains even at 6 days to get them. There will not be enough time to finish them. Nor will the 4th one get spawned considering the removal date. 6 x 4 = 24 days. March17th- April7th = 21 days.

Last year they had to extend the egg search feature to allow people to get the sub quest find eggs to work.

You forgot the quest at index 0. 6 * (4 - 1) = 18 days which is < 21 days.

Voila, problem solved with correct maths.

So you get only 1-2 days to complete the last chain. Doubt that is enough time if people randomly got the quest chain with the "find eggs from long searches" and happen to get screwed on the RNG.

I just got my 2nd quest chain and it's past Tuesday 5am maintenance time. Somehow for me it appears to be 7 days.
At this rate, even if my next 2 chains are indeed 6 days- I most likely might not see the 4th chain spawn. Let alone even have enough time to complete.

I think a couple of days is enough for those with established resource and explorer bases, though newer players may be hard pressed to do the find 20 eggs from very long treasure search or gather 800 eggs.

Hello everyone,

We will adjust the frequency at which the Easter Quest Chains start.
The update will be deployed tomorrow, please read the maintenance schedule and the changelog.

Cordially,

Hopefully this will help. How fast is faster? I won't mind duplicates within reason if I can still complete everything.

Same, only done 2 chains... And of course giving 2 days to complete last quest chain (granted none of them will pop twice - you can kiss your lev6 egg house goodbye) is a major overlook (again) of BB interns doing the coding.

For the sake of our fun could you guys dedicate one (JUST ONE) of the interns to actually PLAY the game? With a minimum brain and common sense you could get enough feedback from her/him to save yourself some pretty annoying (players) decisions.

At this point, doesn't look like the quest chain is going to be the limiting factor for getting enough achievement points to level the building up to 6... rather, it's the complete LACK of eggs being returned by explorers. No way I'm going to find 3,200 at the current rate with my 13 explorers...
03-26-15 10:26 am

2545 eggs found already. I have 3 luckies going twice a day morning long search (6hrs) and afternoon very long search for 14hrs and they are ready back in the morning. The rest are send once a day for very long searches. I tested medium searches during last 2 events and long ones. My best results are from that setup. On a dry day I get around 150. On a good one over 300

well those were the numbers before the nerf. I just checked this morning loot. Few shy from a 100 from 17(!) explorers. Way to go BB...You can always count on your perfect instincts to screw your customers.

Just got my third quest, so I'm guessing the new timing is every 4 days, which would allow for the completion of 1 additional quest chain.

Has anyone received the The Egg Competition quest? mine skipped it and went to the Bunny assistant quest...

Received that one first.

How many explorers you got Troll?

and how many books in them?
03-28-15 09:04 am

I completed that achievement as well, though I was well on the way before they made the change. 17 explorers with 8 fully booked. Based on how many eggs explorers are finding now, I think it would be doable but cutting it very close, so next year's Easter is likely to be more difficult if they stick with the nerf.

RonEmpire

Yea. I think they must have changed the drop rates on the eggs as well. I too have noticed a lower drop rate. My explorers are now returning LESS eggs daily since the maintenance. Before maintenance I was getting a lot of eggs daily.

I have NOT gotten my 3rd chain yet.

Well, I don't have 19 explorers, so that's probably the largest part of it. Would have been nice to be able to get a couple more this event.

finally got in, no quest showing. Oh well. LOL seems all the achievements are 'luck based' as in : 'you might be lucky if we give u chance to obtain them'
