All adventures giving triple XP and double loot is quite nice. Looks like Bandit Nest or Traitors is probably the best for event resources, but I think I'll just run Woodcutter.
Another explorer is good, I guess. Along with the lucky, those are the main attractions. Though I realize more explorers means more clicking and more inflation of event resource costs.
I think I'll pass on the geologist, though Stone-Cold is helpful.
More ridiculously overpriced housing. I'll take them if I can get them, but I won't go out of the way to farm footballs.
Does anyone know what the "ticket amount" for the Geologist means here: https://forum.thesettlersonline.net/...l=1#post290988

That would be the percentages if it's a kind of "raffle ticket" thing.

But it is: Soldiers and Cannons? - Complete Secluded Experiments without using any recruits, militia, bowmen or longbowmen.
NOT: Training Marathon - Complete 25 Mini missions
Not exactly the same. Anyone care to explain and/or correct?
Soldiers and Cannons is a mission achievement available at anytime, Training Marathon is a event achievement which is only available during the summer event. Either one of them was supposed to be a different tribute or it looks at present that we can get 2.Quote:

And .. has this ever come up before? With all those flag flowerbeds, where the heck is Canada?
[edit]
Sorry, my bad .. I was thinking of the Easter event for generals, not soccer ... but still, a Vet in the merchant would have been nice to see .. and still wondering about the Canadian flag flowerbed
This is not the general event. I'd say that's Easter.
Yes, the flags are based on qualifying teams, which Canada has only done one time in 1986, placing last. A Canadian flag seems unlikely.
grats on collies being event collies when i logged in - 1st thats worked in a LONG time.
However, we had a vlt ready to finish ... friend finished it at 5am (after event start).. i logged in 6;20am .. just checked email at 6;40 -- (after doing some starting quests like open event window). no event loot. nada zip zilch.
I had been logged out since b4 10pm the evening before.
logged out... cleared cache.... came back about 10 min later -- (took that long to log back in)... other quests finally popped. but no balls on explorers yet. and nothing on the vlt that ended after event started.
https://ibb.co/b5LLJh4
ANND princess just came back - over . an hour after event starts - no event loot.
the friend buff causes an explorer glitch. Constant notifications that explorers have returned, no treasure mail, and cannot send them back out.
PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!
update, seems to be a notification/graphics glitch- explorers look like they are home and you get notified of their return constantly, but once they return for real the glitch goes away.
so fast foreward an hour.. still explorers coming in with no event loot.. its now 8;30... 2 luckies. again varified not on artifact. logged out for over 1/2 hr ... logged back in - 3 more came back - no event loot.
(ticket sent but at this rate i will fail at this event)
Explorers are coming back without event resources. This after starting event and opening fixture list as well as door. Not good at all. All explorers were on prolonged searches
First day of the Event and over nine hours in, still not logged in. The loading screen has shifted to the Event one, so that's a good thing...I guess.
The bummer is things like the Christmas Market, which have to be restarted every 12hrs or you're running Elite buildings unbuffed...are running unbuffed. The Bookbinder is sitting idle with a +100% Buff winding down. Mines are running out.
That's even before you consider this Event is going to cost around 60,000 Footballs to get most of the 'good' things...and that means being on 'a lot'.
Then folks have to go to work, so not being able to log in becomes a real issue of lost resources that can stretch out into a full day, or more.
Edit: Now it's telling me there are server connection issues, so there's that. Not sure if it's a good sign or a bad one... :-/
Summer Event is here and still unable to load the game using Chrome browser... ;(
Attempting to logon in Microsoft Edge provides the "Invalid Date" logon error... ;(
Another Event that will have to be played on less than optimal graphics but at least it will LOAD! Puffin Secure browser is the only browser that will load the game and actually be playable... ;)
Did the event start? I can't select the event window and my collectibles are the normal collectibles. No idea what's going on lol
EDIT:
Refreshing got the event window to show up, so apparently it did start. But I got no event collects and my explorers all came back with normal treasure.
Yay that's like 10 explorers already running on empty, I hope the slower ones realize the event started.
:(:(:(:(
Is anything working properly on this VERY expensive Premium Friend Buff????
faster weapons production, doubling production buffs, extra xp on advs, are all working.Quote:

I can confirm the PH/RPH bonus doesn't work. For barracks read here: https://forum.thesettlersonline.net/...142#post291142Quote:

Btw, the explorer glitch is not related with the explorers themselves or when we send them (before or after activating the buff). I bought the lucky explorer and sent him on treasure search and guess what... bugged. The buff was active before the event started. So, bleah.
...on the other hand, it doesn't really matter which Buffs are/aren't working if you can't log in to begin with. :-/
Edit: Two hours in...or is it three now...?
Edit: Five hours now. That means things are running unbuffed, Advs are not getting completed, Prem is running out... Last time the direct cost due to lost Buffs just in the buildings in the Christmas Market was equivalent to well over 20,000 Coin. Then there's the Weekly Login resetting and not getting to the 100Gems at the end...for weeks.
*sigh*
Edit: Eight-plus hours to get logged in, and as expected Buffs long since run out, things sitting idle... :-/
Some of the frend buff glitches are fixed after logging out for 20 minutes.
Not the one with PH/Barracks - that is bad coding on BB's side. Whatever buff you use on these buildings while Friend Buff is running will be wasted - it just gives wrong display numbers but doesn't speed up anything.Quote:

is the friendship buff ever going to be able to be traded
I wouldn't care so much if it worked properly in the first place...Quote:

i'm not seeing a 50% bonus amount on treasure (on event loots) for the new adv explorer...
I would love to give my thoughts on the Summer Event... But the game quick working! All i get is "(!)"!!! Day 4 now!! j:(
This summer is the Women's World Cup. Canada was there. Does it count? If not, why are we having a soccer event anyway?Quote:

And an earlier one required me to make room for some 700 more settlers. My island is maxed out on space. There's no more room, and I'm not tearing stuff down for a stupid quest like this. I just ate it and paid the gems to complete it.
Seriously.... you folks are getting more and more out of touch.
I think they're more likely to base an event around hockey than women's soccer.Quote:
