Guild quest reward and Sturdy shovel skill on halloween event

[Amazony]

Less then a week 'till the Dev Diary about the halloween event will be upon us and I want to know about 2 issues that we kept asked about and not a single clear answer received about:
1. What will be the reward for guild quests completed during the halloween event , ggc or pumpkins ? If ggc why not pumpkins? I remind you, we had a poll about this before the easter event.http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/32331-Guild-Quest-Rewards-Guild-Coins-vs-Event-Resources-during-events
2. The explorer skill sturdy shovel will work or not with treasure search found pumpkins or not ? A few months after easter event , with a game update ( right after the free buildings movement event if I'm not mistaken) we were informed that the sturdy shovel skill will work with eggs found by explorers during event ( not that at that time anyone could verify that). http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/33450-Change-Log-19-07-2016

I cannot find the link but post that vote BB_Ravel stated that in future, in events, the guild quest resource would be the event resource - presents, pumpkins etc. It made sense this not being the case in the football event but Halloween happens every year.

Probably not this year - not mentioning GQ as source of pumpkins in sneak peek - http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/33624-Sneak-Peek-Halloween-Event-2016 - and was not so on test server.

lol, so they asked what we want, got told, agreed to it, did it once and then said 'nah, not doing that'?

And the dev diary is up and not a peep about the guild quest rewards.

You fixed the sturdy shovel skill, ty . :)

like I said during previous event: I feel cheated -once again-. we voted for event resources to be GQ reward - but seems like you don't give a damn, BB.
and making refillers for fields is the most stupid idea I've ever seen in this game...

BB_Saqui explained the guild quest reward in the dev diary feedback thread.


The poll was done in order to better gauge the player-base and their interests, and then be submitted to the game designers. This way they will have to tools/data necessary to offer different varieties for some of our events. However one really tricky thing to work around is the act of balancing rewards -- especially when you're adding a totally new method of collecting event resources previously unavailable -- as to not throw the other methods/economy into chaos. We have to be really careful when implementing these sort of things.

I do agree though that the poll which was done should've been clarified with a lot more transparency and information, and we will do better in the future to provide that.
