[Feedback] Dev Diary Easter 2018

[Forrell]

Collecting the eggs on the event adventure islands is too easy. In the past the eggs were hidden much better and finding the eggs was sometimes a real challenge. Make the eggs harder to find. Offer an event item in the shop to highlight the eggs if a player cannot find all the eggs to complete the quest.

For eggs on the home island, allow for more than just 1 egg per egg click. Some of the eggs should have 3 eggs, would make it more fun.

I've got mixed views on getting eggs from guild quest instead of guild coins. In some instances the guild coin would buy more eggs than the eggs you get. If a lot of members complete their quest eggs are pretty good deal. I think that the egg rewards for guild quest could be increased.

The year we had the paint and baskets created more Trading opportunities. This year's Trade appears to have lower activity than past years; partly because of the price in eggs for some event items many players want to get. Those must have items are absorbing most of the egg supply.

If there is a Easter Contest here at the Forum to win eggs, I don't know about it. A Contest could offer prizes based upon player level, this would ensure that we would have winners across all levels. It wouldn't need to be a big fancy event, however the prizes could be big. A goal of the Contest would be offer some chance for players whose hopes of getting enough eggs may be slim to none, typically players in the 20-30-ish level.

Thank you for reading

The cooldown on culture buildings would be ok if it would reduce across all culture buildings. Footie pitch and Spring park etc working together. As it stands with 1 or less culture building of a type a year the cooldown wont even reach acceptable levels before the whole game closes down.

[DONKIE]

I love the spring park! The geos, and explorers are very nice! Thank you for the MMA! This was a great event! Thank you! The game is very fun. The events give me a reason to keep playing. 2nd Easter basket looks good next to the other!

[SweaterPuppies]

I miss the bridge. Why has it vanished? That and the Halloween music. If we could have those all year long...

[Raubhautz]

Iron-Willed Geo was/is a massive POS. Truly, I tell you it is the worst single specialist, TSO has ever offered. What makes it sinister, even, is that that thing went into test able to find faster mines. That feature would have at least been useful to everyone; Larger depos, when you have at most 2x geos finding those larger deposits out of 16-21 mines?! How is that useful? Only for the people who adventure little and spend all their time searching for mines. Sure, these specialists would be excellent for new players to not have to rebuild all the time. idk, this truly is taking away from the game. Between this POS and the 2-day forced hiatus prior to the start of the event, which kind of took some wind-out-of-the-sails in regards to grinding...

Aside from the geo, Spring Park, not bad. Has one awesome ability, one decent ability and one horrendous ability (since players can already buy similar buffs in merchant as well as make free ones in MH, no reason for anyone to ever use that feature, ever), it is the cool-down of a full 23h that is annoying, but tolerable..

Achievements?! It would be nice if there were any challenging ones. I don't even feel proud to claim to get all 1070 points with more than a week to go in the event, sort of feel guilty. The cheesements have been made so easy, peeps who only log on once a day for an hour can get them all. I guess this is part of the PC world we now live in.

Other than that, thanks. All the generals are nice to have and have a happy home to stay in.

PS - One other note, that was not really an issue to me, but might be for lower-level players is the progression of the Party-Crashers. In past Easter Events, lower level player's would 'cap' at some point so they would not be needing to use Decent, or heaven-forbid Gaudy Truces. Seems everyone gets 5x of each, then progress to the next level. Poor noob having to find a way to acquire tore/titanium bars; being as even most higher-levels are stingy in dropping them!

1) MUSIC
I wished the Easter event had a different music background. Otherwise, it kind of feels like regular island time. The different music background in the Halloween event is big difference for me.

2) ADVENTURES
I feel the rewards for seasonal adventures were not very balanced and so I'm sure the grand majority of the folks opted for Traitors. I believe it would be reasonable to have a greater reward for higher level adventures that take longer to complete or involved more players. For example, the eggs/hour on Traitors is much higher than the eggs/hour on gunpowder, which doesn't make sense.

3) SPRING PARK
I agree with folks that a) the cool down time for fairy fires is way too long and b) 100 beans for fairy fire is much too expensive.

4) FLOATING ISLANDS
More floating islands would have been nice.

[Gwalben]

I'd rather spend 100 beans (only during events) than 9 gems and find it reasonable, but perhaps that's part of the logic is they want people to still desire the gemmed ones. Even with a level 6 fairytale castle, my stockpile is slowly going up, so that's one resource I don't mind finally having a use for again. But the cooldown makes any discussion moot.

[WendigoOne]

I have no idea how anyone does anything. Last 2 events, I got only about half of the goodies... nobody is on who helps when I ask, I have to spend all sorts of time looking for a tent to do in for daily which I keep on not getting. I thought I could spend a little time on this game and get by. apparently not. Best stop wasting my time. Take care.

[forewarn]

so traitors is the best adv for eggs this time. i think it would be better to have coop adv always be the best adv for event loot. make ppl work together.

ikr? Used to be more of that when I first started, but many of those people are no longer playing. Still some good people here, but the styles of play are different. Still some good ones that help, but on the adventure front, hard times. Many players now seem to be focused on buying ls, not swapping/cooping. just the way it is now. Like the chicken and the egg, it is hard which came first.
