[Feedback] Dev Diary Easter 2018

[Cigneous]

another MMA a new Geo another couple Female Scouts and a spring park works for me.. as for the Indy items.. I already have what seems enough

The cool down issue.. is that a separate cool down for each of the 3 functions? if so.. that too works well into my plans..

Only drawback was the 1st couple days of lockout for me.. I like to hit the ground running and get off to a good start.. my 1st log in and it was 3rd day for me already.. I was expecting the event start 1 to 2 weeks sooner - I planned my schedule.. so I basically lost all motivation and went in a different direction
No big deal in a forever game..
will have to wait till next year to make a good showing for Easter. My motivation & scheduled free time ran out so I will have to choose between MMA or Spring Park with Geo and explorers, got the Floaters

Added Edit: POLL; answers to questions not asked.
- Not Happy with timing of Easter event
- Don't care what adventures are seasonal
- Never new about easter Basket Building.. something is better than nothing
- I am not happy with 24 hour turnover on camps.. should be 22 hours.. it kept getting later and later till I missed another day

I'm ready for a new scenario besides Where Do Easter Eggs Come From.....we're asked to do the same dreary scenario 5 times! And it's been the same for years! Please bring in something new

and I hate the retro buffs. I'd rather get fish platters and I don't want those either

No, one for the whole building.

Its 23 hours so you can slowly push it back within reason.. i had to set to 8am which was perfect.. then i forgot to click complete quest and messed it up totally... lol... thankfully it was the last 3 days of the PC (for achieve)...

re the park - its one cool down per park - you had me go look i was hoping it was the way you said lol.

Suggestion:

We can get far more Achievement Points than we need to max out the Easter Basket.

How about devising a system that lets us use points beyond this year's max to upgrade previous Event special buildings (ie extra Easter points for previous Baskets/Storehouses, extra Christmas points for Christmas things, etc).

That way it still gives players multiple options for getting the current year building/bonus/etc, but it *also* provides an incentive for more players to stay active in the event after they get all of this year's stuff. I know I'd spend more time on things like Adventures, even though I've already maxed this year's Easter Basket without them. The opportunity to increase the Cap of the previous Basket, or Storehouse/etc would certainly make me want to be more active.

First on a positive note - sooo happy to see the Easter Basket building to be back. Love it! Thank you! Also my new iron geos are pretty cool. I will have to see what they are capable off when I fully train them yet.

But here comes my negative feedback:
• First of all, I think the start of the event was too close to Easter and now it's dragging 2 weeks after. Definitely would welcome earlier start, so we have 2 weeks before and 1 week after the actual holidays.
• I have to agree with other people, that spring park cool-down is waaaaaaay too long. Like it was mentioned here before, either extend the buff time or shorten the cool-down time. I think 24h is more than plenty.
• Also party crashers don't seem to have anything in common with Easter. Maybe something closer related to Easter tradition would be more appropriate. There are tons of different traditions around the world, so maybe be would be worth looking at some and incorporate them in.

Overal, Easter event is pretty cool, lots of goodies in the store. Can't seem to get enough eggs this year to buy everything i want.

agreed -- I'd LOVE to get previous years basket to level 6.

The quest for finding ore deposits is out dated and needs to be removed from the quest chains. Many established players have Industrial Mines up and the only way to fulfill such a quest is to tear down an existing Industrial Mine.

I also wonder why the highest form of Treasure Search, The Artifact Search returns nothing? A lot of people have invested a lot of time and resources building up Explorers with books and during events the Artifact search is entirely ignored?

I couldnt agree with this more. I built up massive gold mines that I had to tear down. Seemed like a huge waste of resources for a throw-away quest. It was easily the most irksome part of the event. Otherwise, I am pretty much in favor of the event. It is the first one in a long while where I actually had to put in work and not just set up trades in TO to get all the event items in merchant.

theres music?? i think ive missed something..
(totally guilty of zoning out and forgetting to send second half of block listening to awesome halloween music )

The gold mine quest can be finished with gems too.

Bought all the specialists, park and floaters. Not bad for a lvl 42.
