View Full Version : Event to fill gap between Easter and Halloween ?

We were in chat in our global channel in server about old memories about events, personally, I was not playing the game anymore that time, but seems I missed a lot of fun, anyway, the idea of old anniversary event 2013 (http://settlersonlinewiki.eu/en/events/anniversary-event-2013/) is really special, I think it will be nice if we could get an event similar to that :)
Maybe "Save the World from Global Warming" or earth day (22nd April), or maybe even next Ramadan (this year on 27 May).
What do you think?

Why?
You don't like challenges, do you?
You lost or win, for sure it must be fun for all :)

I would be happy with ANY kind of event between Easter and Halloween (it really is a long time between them)
- be it crisis quests, mini events or a permanent new yearly event.
so it's a huge +1 from me
Some Midsummer type of event with addies dropping tokens to buy what you missed on the previous events.

football events every 2 or 4 years I think, if you mean this, otherwise I'm really not understand what do you mean.

Something like this event (http://settlersonlinewiki.eu/en/events/midsummer-night-event-2015/) but instead of exchanging previous events resources on tokens ( or buy them for gems) a list of addies to be available for dropping those tokens .
I agree we need something and I like the idea of a Midsummer event with tokens that can be swapped of any of the event rewards missed out on in the previous event(s).
For those in guilds....why not encourage your guild to have its own Guild 'Event' with suitable prizes. We do this all year round!
We dont get any game crashes, dont need any hot fixes and its great to have an added dimension to the game and the guild!

I see, yes seems I missed this, but anyway, my idea about something similar to 2013 event

-1 fir his idea, I mean to get what we missed, because for high level players (and like me), they already have nothing to do with the original events, so this kind of event could be totally boring.
I enjoyed the Crisis event so would be happy with another. We definitely need SOMETHING between Easter & Halloween when there is no football one (not my favourite).
Maybe "Save the World from Global Warming" or earth day (22nd April), or maybe even next Ramadan (this year on 27 May)
Summer event should happen every year i think, but posting dates for this spring really made me laugh. it's not the sort of thing u can plan, write, test, implement within a few weeks :)

with the code base already exist it not really creating things from scratch! you add or change the current exist code (crises quest as example, and another events).
But yes I agree it can't be in a few weeks, but it is 2 months from April ! also.

i love a challenge, events against other servers though where no matter how hard you try you have no chance to win on the other hand is no fun i recall nothing but moaning last time such an event occured thats all i was saying :) but some event would be nice for sure as will be a long time inbetween :)

no football events, so just asking if BB maybe have anything special to keep us occupied between after Easter and before Halloween :)
*hoping the answer is yes :))
Were you all not aware that BB plans to bring back the most successful and enjoyable water balloon event :)

a full sized event would be nice but anything will do i guess.
no event = no login

no login = find a better game for u :P :)
guess crisis quests could make a comeback for the summer

crisis quests are awesome, but personally i would like to see a permanent summer event for the years that we do not have football event.
+1
I really need some sort of activity to make a change in the game. I am starting to be really really bored after playing 2½ years.
Yes I can quit and find another game. But I would miss all my lovely guild members. The game is ok, but I need something to do besides getting the 30 mill or more exp for next level and build new mines.
EotW 2 :)
I would love that :)

In our guild, we discussed the long gap between the Easter and Halloween events. As there are no soccer championships/olympic games etc. this summer, wouldn't it be fun to use the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band LP on June 1 for another event. That sounds like a topic worthy of some creativity. :-)

From a personal point of view I think BB could introduce the football event yearly but on years like this one where the is no actual football substitute all the usual flags that would be there with ones that have no hope of ever reaching a football championship final.
Failing that maybe a cricket inspired event (ICC champions trophy in June, Women's world cup June / July )

We need an event that we can buy Return to bandits nest on, like that one Christmas. with General science coming out we all could use the books that drop

In general 'a bad idea' in my opinion but with 'renewed' Crisis Quests probably not where it ends.
Why do players need an event to play the game?
EasyTarget1
03.05.17, 09:52
not need but free stuff is pretty awesome
because it breaks the monotony for long-time players? :)
any event always very welcome
Do you guys have any ideas when it comes to the theme of such a "Summer Event"? I'd love to know what you guys are thinking.

Based on summer/vacation event...
for example you search "beach" collectables on the island or the water!
Sea building like halloween pumpkin fields, but you get for example "golden fishes"!
Explorers can find them, also you get them from adventures, quests, etc (like other events).
We dont need a specific reason just an event to make it funnier :)
may 16th will be an event for me

the IAAF and IPC 2017 World Championships athletics will be held in London this summer, maybe something along the track and field lines?

In light of Generals getting skills, a science type event might be handy a few books of each sort being rewards, you could really push the boat out and release an Improved bookbinder if you were feeling super generous.

I'd love a "midsummers dream" event with fairies running around on the island and flower baskets/bouqets as event resources. Different collies like on christmas but instead different coloured flowers. Quest line/s with fairy tale content. Maybe save the fairy princess from an evil troll or something like that. :)
In Equal Years we have always had a footie event. (2012+14+16)
For Uneven Years we had BB 20 Years Celebration in 2013 (the Balloon Event) and in 2015 we had the 'Cleanup Old Event Resources'.
If nothing 'Special' is in the pipe we might have to live with a 'Crisis Quest' and if so...
hoping it will be like the 'old ones' we had back in 2013 instead of a copy of latest ones which were boring; though loot was good.

I would love to see an event with PVP Expeditions at its core.

Such an event would be like EotW2 but this time it would feel like the real End of the Settlers World :p

I think this would be great. Never really understood why so many hate PVP, assume it is because they can't follow a set guide and have to think for themselves or perhaps like looking at a stockpile of iron ore in their star menu.

Not something I'd ever do, I don't have a single building that has anything to do with PVP

You are missing out then, but yeah the last event was good with a pvp vibe along with adventure. More of the same please.

Expeditions is really worthless if you play it for resources, or leveling, also, it got tons of bugs, not only this, it is really waste of efforts like the castle is just a decoration, add to all of this, it is not really a PvP that players were asking, it is not PvP at all, it is just like any adventure, just the battle system is different!
Also, players will need a lot of population to support it! the weapons production is really boring and stupid. (personally, I was able to play it after I reach level 64 and got 23K pop, I can say it is really hard to play it together with adv before that).
Anyway, you really need to ask BB first why they ignore expeditions, they almost do nothing to fix bugs, ignore all suggestions about this part of the game, also they add nothing to it, like buffs, generals or anything else related, then if you got answers, you can try to get answers from players then.
FYI: I'm playing Expeditions (level 25 atm) and I really see it most part of the game that you have fun! if you looking for exp or resources or any "benefits" it is not the place you looking for, if you need play for fun, yes play expeditions it is really interesting and challenging!

12.05.17, 22:24
You are wrong. There is 1 bug I am trying to capture with screenshots so I can report it. Other than that BB have sorted the bugs. I do expeditions everyday and it is well worth it. If you suck, you fail but hey such is life. I have loads of granite and iron ore thanks to pvp. Yes building the weapons is a pain but you get a second weapon building building as you move on and then you are mostly laughing. Fight on and push on!
We need a fish event where every quest you do takes away 200k fish, maybe a dragon lands in the center island and you have to feed it fish to please him.
Well I just have millions of fishys and want to use them for something >:)).

PVP was not part of the game when I started playing and I've never liked the idea, if I wanted to do PVP there are plenty of other games out there I could play

Well it's not really pvp as in other games, just a different way to gather resources. You are taking the colony from another so a little bit of battling others but at least you're not destroying their island.
