    [Feedback] Sneak Peek: Christmas Event 2017

    Dear Well-Behaved Settlers,

    Fall's barely even started, but we've opened up the gates and welcomed Christmas to our test server, where the initial version of this year's The Settlers Online Christmas Event is in full throttle!

    Become testers for a day and share your initial impressions and general feedback in the comments below.

    Have fun looking around,

    BB_Aeyline

    Kk, initial thoughts after brief check.

    New surprise box:

    Great that the amount of fluff you may get has been decreased, but omg talk about over inflation! 1,399 gems! Seems excessive to me and will not be buying any at all. But that's my personal preference.

    New General:

    Always nice to have a new general. However, with Anslem, Vargus having far better attacking abilities and Maj having now 285 troop capacity... she is rather lacklustre.

    Starting at only 200 troops and other low capabilities she is not even as powerful as Drac... I dont see myself ever using her as a main attack general capable of gaining the xp that she could double. She seems obviously aimed at new players who have not bought any other gen other than the tavs..

    This coupled with the small and poor level of building choices makes the Christmas event very unappealing to me and I will be done very quickly. On the upside I will play less and get more family time in.

    I understand other new features like the jig saw you mentioned might feature which might gain a little interest but for me I need to want to get some big ticket items from events and work hard to get them...so far uninterested.

    Hoping more info comes up that makes my initial thought mute.

    Solving the puzzle will review a full image of the new specialist. Just a little something to do while testing!

    It says "imagine" trying to complete it so yeah, it does nothing.

    But as for actual feedback... no new recipe? Shucks.

    Also, being a cheap*** the new general will probably only get used for sacrifice waves. Her lack of skill is meh.

    Anywho, just like the previous years, there is a bit of disparity. To get everything I want from the Halloween event will take 21,180 pumpkins. Christmas only 4755... but if one does not have the rarity and the recipes... it is still not close. I guess that does make for a more relaxing event than "the holy *** my fields are dying every" two minutes.
    One army. Pretty please.

    With you here! Still holding out for that long-lost 200% sale.

    I am not sure if that skill applied in a sac wave, my understanding is that the general (army) needs to defeat the camp to earn that xp... Perhaps I should verify that in test.

    She, btw... Agree here as well. As a 200 capacity (215 theoretical skilled properly) will not be defeating a lot of worthwhile camps.

    I would probably bring her with me on every adventure, but I only see her value on one or two camps that you can kill for no losses but that don't require so many troops that you need a vet. Rather limited as a 200 general.

    I don't have any interest in the surprise box, but compared to the gem cost of buildings, the price seems reasonable.

    I'll buy the new general to have the new general. It's definitely for new players though, which is odd as it feels like we aren't really getting many new players anymore. I wouldn't really book her, so I see very little use out of her except for when I want to do mini-adventures for quest purposes.
