Feedback - Midsummer Night Event

It honestly doesn't take deep pockets to play this game successfully. I have very limited money to spend on games and other such things. If a person waits for a two for one gem sale and then spends 25.00, those are enough gems to get a few jolly geologists and most importantly building licenses. A little stash of gems like this will go a long way. And then when events roll around, there will be resources to trade since you've been able to ramp up production chains using the building licenses you've purchased.

25 dollars is a lot of money to some people, I know it is to me, but it's easy to spend that much on a few trips to Burger King, so choosing to stay home and eat peanut butter and jelly a few times can get most people the investment they need to build up their island. Just need to be frugal with what's bought with gems and not blow them on doodads and gold depos.

During my first event, I was able to get a village school. I was pleased with my haul.

I purchased my past resources with gems during past events. I purchased them to keep it as long term investment , now you convert them to gold coins? That wasn't on the deal when I purchased those eggs, presents. If you will reimburse then do it with their gem value , prov. house rip off prices one egg to one coin..

you can trade them in for buildings, good generals and grout...

How about adding Bonechurch to Midsummernight Special. Then it will be a better "mother of events"

Agreed about the soccer statue and rear items

OK one more question BB, can I hoard these tokens or are they gone too????

You can use them during Oktoberfest event

Unless I miss my guess on this whole thing; BB is trying to prevent hoarding of special items, including event collectables.

BB stole soccer collectables last year. even though some were bought with gems, I had a bunch of stuff that was gone (banana peels, shoes, twisters). these were gem bought from a box in the shop and never received any compensation for them. I think the good idea fairy runs around their shop and just does random stuff without even thinking whats the effect down the line. they have a test server and get tons of feedback, but don't adjust to that feedback. why even ask for feedback if you just ignore it anyway?

frankly i'd like my resources back from all the soccer buffs sitting in my star...

Tokens will automatically be converted after the event.

:/

Hmmm, If I were the suspicious type... Kind of reminds me of BB's nerfing of the Nords2. Buy for 1495 gems; nerf the heck out of the loot and tell you (basically) 'tough-cookies'. Products not delivered as advertised. What do they call that?

Hi BB_Endesmor,

we have been asking repeatedly about the fate of our soccer event collectibles...but our questions were masterfully avoided.
I'll try to make it easier, and offer multiple choice answer:

a) collectibles have been deleted
b) collectibles are hidden (but they might be available on future soccer events)
c) collectibles have been stolen by Sepp Blatter
d) I know the answer, but that's classified
e) I don't know the answer

I hope is not (c)

Thank you!

Hi Fuscus,

I don't know the answer but I will try to find out. And thanks for the multiple choices :P

  You still own them (you don't lose any resources).
  You can see the amount in the trade office when you place an offer and you can even still trade them.
  With the next football/soccer related summer event, items are visible in the Major's house again.
• All event buffs can be deleted from the star menu.
  Be aware: Maybe they will be useful again in a future event ;)
• Trade offers with (hidden) event resources won't be displayed to other players anymore
  (i.e. you can still trade with footballs, pumpkins, eggs etc.)

Magic?! :confused:

they never took the buffs out of star either - they've been there every adv i've done since - so irritating... plus i want my resources back (i know now i'm repeating myself). :)

and i checked PH (thanks for no heads up on where to convert)... and find once again nothing is being done w/ the buffs...

or the stupid balloons...

This non event, event, is very disappointing.

Drop the buffs on your Mayor house, you should get resources back

Christmas collectibles - hidden, but you can see them when posting trades.
Soccer collectibles - hidden and you can't see them if you try to post trades. That's what we are asking over and over again...

"You can see the amount in the trade office when you place an offer and you can even still trade them." - fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail....

sic' em

Kind of a general notice when a new event starts: Why is there a rifleman/musketeer firing a blunderbuss in the TSO pic? We have no such troop availability!

BB-TSO Promo Banner (Blunderbuss)

I have no issues with this event, goal accomplished. It seems it was deployed smoothly, I didn't notice more lag than usual, conversion is very fast, tokens go directly to storage... I love shopping! It keeps the economy running :)

To new players who are upset: in 3 years time you'll be 50 and bored and when some noobs will make noise because adventures don't drop enough resources, you will think: "Shut up already! 3 years ago I was grinding RBs with one 270 general and 3 MMAs, now you have a 500 superman general and 5 captains america and you still complaining?"

Agreed with the exception of having to purchase the tokens, then move each package of tokens individually into the MH... Not the end of the world or anything, but...

It looks like I can get 3 floaters. I think I can manage to trade enough for that many tokens. I won't get anything else most likely.

are they in the works?

Cordially,

What about the old event buffs, etc...

Also, your posted video talks about getting another Experienced Explorer... Where is it? Not Available!

With the introduction of both Scenarios and PvP Ranking, both of which require Explorers to find/perform we need more Explorers. Other wise you should introduce a "Seeker" for Expeditions and/or up the drop rate for Scenarios...

250 presents for 8000 granite is starting to look like a bargain. These prices are going to have to drop a lot to bother with any of the unlimited items, but I got all the limited stuff I wanted.

4 MMAs woohoo!

4 MMAs woohoo!

4 MMA's and haven't run an adventure in months.

How about balloons from your celibration? Any chance of them entering the Midsummer Night event?

I'm accepting donations :D

As a new player, I'm disappointed. I thought we would have the chance to earn tokens, or find them through explorers. I love the fact that we can purchase new/different items, but there are no new adventures. Wouldn't it have been better to have a 'conversion week' and then have a real event afterwards?
