    I don't think anyone has ever missed the target; I suspect BB 'cheats' if they're not going to make it.

    Does anyone know if the Prestigious Friend Buff will double the effect of cake buffs on the festival hall?

    I'm not 100% certain, and hope someone else will confirm or correct me, but I think the community goal is cumulative among all servers in the world. Either way, I'm confident that the devs. wouldn't place a benchmark that was unobtainable. And it seems to me part of the point for the whole set-up of the event is getting the community to work together to accomplish goals. Why else would they divide dough and candles between different levels of players.

    Yes HortonsWho, the community goal is cumulative among all servers worldwide.

    kzar, I'm fairly certain the devs track activity by level on all servers and use this information to calculate the minimum number of balloons that can realistically be produced worldwide in the given time frame.

    I've created a spreadsheet for personal use that can calculate the minimum amount of event currency my explorers will bring home, both daily and cumulatively, during any event. All I have to do is plug in the variables and I've got my answers. If I can easily create this kind of spreadsheet, it's pretty certain BB can also calculate realistic community goals. It's not rocket science.

    On test server, it does not.

    Thanks. That's good information to know. I guess that makes sense, since pfb doesn't apply to epic workyards, and the festival hall is pretty much the same as those if I recall.

    Dear Settlers,

    Due to a technical issue in our backend, we've had to delay the above update until Thursday, August 27th. Please note that the times remain unchanged.

    Thank you for your understanding!

    Stay safe and happy settling,
    BB_Saqui

    I agree with Perwyn, everyone can make nice and pleasant spreadsheets for personal enlightenment. But my point is that the goals are ridiculous in the sense that they are not goals at all. BB could set any goal they want, realistic or not, it doesn't matter. Especially if the goals are cumulative. There is zero chance that BB would let all servers miss the target. We can imagine the backlash and the frustration? And how would that look from a corporate perspective?

    I also agree with HortonWho, the 'real' goal is to create the illusion that we are working together, although it makes no difference to the outcome. But we're happy.

    Seems like looking at test server, that you need a ton of gems to get a lot of the new items. What a shame. Makes the event just a money grab?

    3 explorers, HQ, 2 geologists, 2 generals, adventure bookbinder, lazaret, oil refinery, several residences, some books, old school barracks, improved bakery, improved mill, celebrative lookout, and a bunch of buffs, skins, and premium days is a pretty good haul for free. So one of everything new is free, but you have to pay gems if you want more.

    That said, the bundles can be worth it if you can find enough that you want not overloaded by a bunch of junk you don't. I don't see anything particularly compelling from this lot for me personally.
