[Feedback] Christmas Event 2016

My feedback:

1. As the others have stated, the ratios for Candy Cane/Bells/Gingerbread were way off. Last year seemed to be much more balanced.

2. The event calendar has been great, even without a "final prize" for opening all doors. The rewards provided by opening the doors have been great.

3. More/better information about the new generals, well in advance of the day we choose them, would have been great. Thankfully the players community has filled that void, but I would still have preferred more "official" word from BB on where these generals were a best fit. At the very least, drop in on the player testing discussions and confirm/support the data they've been generating.

4. More variety of stuff to purchase with presents for all players, not just new players. Its great that the RPH is available, but if you already have one from previous events/purchasing in the merchant you're essentially penalized for it in this event, because there isn't anything else to substitute for it. It would be nice if there was an "either/or" type of choice for those of us that already possess the RPH. Or come up with an Improved Bookbinder or some other sort of building.

5. I feel like the presents availability/ability to acquire them was very fair and reasonable. Players who casually play or are not online 24/7 still had a very reasonable chance at acquiring presents in sufficient quantity to purchase good stuff from the event merchant.

I lik this event better than the 2016 Halloween event, in terms of overall game play, but I don't think it was as good as the 2015 Christmas event.

This doesn't suggest they will be available or will not be available. What were the ways already mentioned? Is premium currency one of them?

I'm leaning toward the theory that they will be in the shop, but that quantity amounts have not been addressed yet. I've picked out the one I must have for now, though, and just hope for the best.

I like the new Generals, have a hard time deciding which two I like best tho.

Overall, on the event. I found that candy canes were found in abundance, but there was not a lot we can do with them. Bells and Gingerbread were not found in equal proportion to make presents with and consequently nobody was trading them either. If we have excess if would be great if we can just save them for next year.

Gingerbread in particular was easy to miss, it was a bit small in size and not prominent enough.

Nothing that hasn't already been said, but my feedback:
1) Collectible balance was way off. Collectibles are already one of the least-fun parts of the game, why make them more frustrating at events?
2) Calendar rewards were good this year
3) Shop was very ... meh, for higher level players, anyway. I can use the recyclers, I will use the 2nd Claus ... and that's about it. The rest I already either have and can't get again, or didn't really have a use for.
4) Quests and such were fine

Happy New Year!

was very disappointed that regular adventures did not give presents, we had very little to do to gather extra presents, made this event kind of every day boring.

1. Collectibles are always a hassle in every event. Either a slow start (1 a day or nothing for first 2-4 days of event like pumpkins) or plentiful of spawn of 1 collectible and 2-3 others in short supply. I know this is not a glitch BB, you can tweek % of randomness in your code to make sure the collectibles spread is not 70-20-10%.

2. Calendar - spot on, plenty of free goodies (thanks for the gingerbread houses), great and easy quests and plenty of opportunities to get presents.

3. Decent shop. Not much for old players but decent stuff for newbies, especially chance top get free Rarity Provision House and all the recipes.

4. Generals. The need to offer all of them in shop later on for gems is without a question. Guide makers are still split between which one to chose, so for next few months those of us who didn't pick the "right" general might just watch nice guides popping up on forums and curse our choice. There is not enough information on your BB part about the generals. The descriptions are decent but a short video explaining how each general differs and where it shines would be a god send for many players. Like you did a short video explaining the PVP. You expect testers (who supposed to be testing) to do your job in explaining the mechanics of new features. Than again, when I go shopping now I have to pick my stuff, pay myself and even pack the groceries myself. I guess I am just old skool NOT LIKING IT

did anyone mention that all the Christmas adventures used the exact same buffs? I started out with 25 of everything and im still sitting there.
