Dev's Diary: Easter Event 2014

[dman_dustin]

To whom it may concern:

On test, your Gems for Egg prices were counter-intuitive. The 895 Gem egg package made no sense.

The standard egg package:
295 Gems = 100 eggs

If we buy 3 of those:
885 Gems = 300 eggs

Compare to your larger purchase:
895 Gems = 300 eggs

There are no rational reasons to buy the 895 gem egg package. We will advise our guild members as such if those are the values when the event goes live.

I'm sure this has been pointed out before, but it's a bit silly that your pricing promotes people buying and using fewer gems.

That's strange, because I have the Easter event partially active on my version of the testing server.

100 Egg Package is 295
300 Egg Package is 885

I think they fixed the pricing of the eggs at least in the testing server.

I currently have 11 floating resident.

[Gallotey]

I also have 11 floating houses. I think the "total limit" on floating houses (and watermills) must refer either to the number that can be bought from eggs from this event, or the number that can be bought from eggs overall (including those from last year's event). Looking forward to finding lots of eggs this year!

The following purchases are available in the current test server environment:

Veteran Generals: You can buy one (1) general this year. If you have been in previous events of this type, you can have up to a total of two of the event generals. This does not include the two you can purchase in the normal black market section of the gem merchant.

Experienced Explorers: You can buy one (1) explorer this year. If you have been in previous events of this type, you can have up to a total of three of them.

Watermills: You can five (5) watermills this year. If you have been in previous events of this type, you can have up to a total of ten of them.

I am not going to post definite numbers on the floating residences, as I have a mix on both the test server and main environment; and there have been other methods to gain these items besides the Easter event. It would appear you can buy three of them, as I currently have purchased both gem and Easter Floating Residences on test and have a total of 6.

and you got his from test? where no one has last events items. or did BBs tell you?

Limits refer to # purchased with eggs, ignoring other ways to get the items. That's how it worked at other events.


Large egg basket price was changed to 885.

Okay, but this still works out to be NO SAVINGS for the buyer. Making this one of the few places in the world where buying in quantity doe not buy any sort of value.

no, units under a gen have their own stats. the gen will attack with other first strike units, then other units will attack

[Raubhautz]

Thanks for the answer; I have one additional question regarding the MMA general: Does he have splash damage as previously stated?
