Feedback - Dev's Diary: Christmas Event 2014

[Metsalplix]

I would hope that the Stop Buff only works on your own island. I'd hate to see the chaos unleashed if people can stop buffs on other people's islands.
The event stuff looks fun and I like most of the new buff ideas.

I do have a question about the Halloween event.
The Dev's Diary for that event said;
{What happens to the Golem buffs in my Star Menu?
The production resources will be refunded, the buffs removed. Running productions will be completed in normal time, then get refunded as soon as they are transferred to the star menu.}
Would it be possible to get our resources back from the leftover items we made during the last event?

Agreed. Testing done on the test server shows it's only on your island.

It'll be nice to have the option to choose between the two Irmas. The 24 hour ones use sausage, and some people may not want to spend that resource.

The one that concerns me is the Stop Buff. Better not be allowed to use that on a friend's island. I can't imagine why anyone would want this thing, or ever spend the resources to make one.

Doesn't work on friends island (at least this was the mechanics on the test server).
Might be useful in situations like: snow buff dropped on Ft Castle, to end in 1-2 hours but you have to leave home and come back much later. Ofc you have the option to remove the beans from storage, leave just a few to cover those 1-2 hours left - or - drop a Stop buff then drop another snow. Probably is not going to happen a lot, but it is something nice to have. Likely you'd need just a few of those, so maybe doesn't make sense to spend 120 presents, better buy them form somebody else.

Endesmor: the 3 dates listed are on thursdays. our maintenance has been running monday night/tuesday morning. will it be a separate maintenance for the event, or are the dates inaccurate?

Main reason to use this buff: You are about to leave and can't be there when the buff ends and there is a few hours remaining on it. That's the only reason. Agreed this shouldn't be allowed to use on friend's list.

only 2 recyclers now?

the stop buff allows u to control the buff schedules to better coincide with your schedule. for example, you will be gone for 2 hours and the buff runs out in 1 hour. you use the stop buff to stop the current buff, then you reapply a new buff that gives you a 4 hour time frame to get back and keep the workyard running on buff time. for steel, exo, and other high end yards, this is important.

Well i would think in cases like this you may just shut off the building. I mean turn it off and let the buff run out instead of spending another buff to do the same thing in essence. Now i am sure there are cases where you may want to apply another buff as well.

I know it's good stuff.

Thank you for grout for both silos. It is such a delicate balance between the silos and the farms, without making a field run out. Until now, I have had to move things around to squeeze in an extra silo. Now I just have to grout up some of the silos. Thank you for that.
And thank you for presents and marble into granite. You are giving us granite. You are giving us granite!
