View Full Version : Spring Park - feeling ripped off
So this is my first event, and I managed to get nearly 8000 eggs, and was looking forward to getting some nice goodies.
I spent ages looking at the market, and the Trade Office and eventually decided I would buy a Spring Park, it looked interesting and I heard some members of my guild say how great it was.
And then I deployed it.
What a pile of useless junk! Expensive, useless junk!
OK so if my island was brimming with "improved" this and that, then sure it would be worthwhile, but I have nothing "improved" of any sort. I don't have an RPH... so it only function to me is to turn 100 magic beans into a Fairy Lights buff?!?!?!
Upset and unhappy, next time BB make a description that actually warns players what it is they are buying.
Please watch the language
Hi,
As this is your first event (congrats on already having magic beans even though this is needed and acquired at a much more advanced level than you probably are, otherwise it wouldn't be your first event), please be aware the devs always give us a diary of the upcoming event, describing the hows and whatnots:

The "Buildings" part is the one you would like to read about the Spring Park.
As for the very personal "rip off" feeling, only you decided to go for it and nobody forced you to purchase it.
What works for one, might not for another as we all play the game in a similar but yet different manner, foremost because of level matters.
This building might become useful in the future or might not, but at least now that you got one, you might not regret it if its features improve in the future.
Are you in a Guild? If you are not, perhaps you should join one. Our Guild always gives newbies good advice on what to buy (& helps out with extra eggs etc). I'm also underwhelmed by the Spring Park but it does help once you have an RPH. You'll get there soon. Good luck.

Yeah it might seem a dumb building now for a new player but when you get improved buildings from trade or next events it will help. It works for the regular prov house too and you will get the RPH from the Christmas event.
Really?
Didnt you look anywhere on the web? eg here: http://settlersonlinewiki.eu/en/events/easter-event-2018/
I need to agree, Spring Park is useless piece of junk also to me.
My island is perfectly balanced and I would not take any benefits from it.
And highlighting collectibles with magic bean is a waste.
If it is possible, try to sell it!
absolutly sure you make bad deal
I like the building and I'm glad I got it. Any feelings of getting "ripped off" are idiotic - you got exactly what you paid for. The explanation of the building was clear and so was the cost. Next time, think more before you purchase.
Once you have RPH building Manuscripts, it's a great building. You won't regret it in the future.
i didnt even bother to get it. I could still get it if i wanted it but my priority is to give the eggs i have to guildies that havnt got the MMA yet which should of been the 1st thing to get for lower lvl players. Even if u already have an MMA u bought or from last easter always good to get more as u can never have too many gens. the alli baba addy needs a lot of gens. the young woodcutter for example needs 24 MMA. As u can only buy 8 from the merchant getting the extra 1 at easter always helps.
in my opinion the spring park would be the last item on the list to get. 1st should be the MMA then couragious explorer to find eggs faster and find double res on treasure searches then intrepid explorer to find double addy on addy searches then floating residences.(pop limit increase).

I agree with HFoC, the cooldown is a bit dodgy but the building/buffs will be handy to you as you progress in the game so don't regret it yet :)
If you don't get it now, you will always be behind, since cooldown will drop with extra Parks in the future. We don't know when next one will become available, but it will drop cooldown to ~24h, next one ~12h.
If you "need 24 MMA" for YWC, you'll need the Park to skill 'em...

you needed premium buildings to work with and when do i need so much bread? I do miss a lot sausage for my Aunt army basked blue ones, So i missed the spring park.

Yea but whats the point of bread?
i haven't read anywhere (official) that more spring parks will come and they will reduce cooldown. why do ppl keep mentioning this?
Because that's how it works on the test server. It was also mentioned in the wording in the Easter Shop.
While this event's limit is set to 1 per player, the Spring Park may be available again in the future. Owning multiples of the same building will not offer separate functionalities or cooldowns. Instead, every duplicate increases the cooldown speed by 100%. For example, a buff that will usually trigger a 1-hour cooldown will only trigger a 20-minute cooldown if you own 3 buildings (60min / 300%).
You can read the whole story here: https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/35780-Dev-Diary-Easter-Event-2018
So in my opinion, it's not a waste to buy the Spring Park. You will be happy that you did so, sometime in the future :)

Cliff60... I have no idea where you get that the young wood cutter adv requires 24 MMA....You must be using a pretty useless guide to be honest. I have never taken anymore than 3.- 4 and now only an mma or nusala.
I agree with blondie, what are you doing on ywc to need 24 mma. Running the whole thing with mma sacs? That may be YOUR play style but its isnt the usual one and you dont even NEED one mma to run it!
SSSecretSquirrel

Here is a weird thought: maybe she is playing it with non elite troops?
And speaking of sacs there was this one time I finished YWC with 0 DEATHS. Took a week and I think 2 buffs but was kinda lazy about it so.. :)
No elite troops but 24 mma...hmmm
maybe cliff missed a decimal point. i dont use mma on ywc, but 2.4 mma's sounds ok. kinda like the average UK family with 2.4 kids!
thx for the info on spring park, i totally missed it previously. the word "may" and the fact that building space is now at a premium again on my isle makes a long term plan for spring parks very offputting.
having said that, yes i did buy the park, no i dont think its the greatest building on my isle, no i dont have any complaints as i did manage to read the description and got what i paid for :)

I bought mine as an investment for the future. Any new buffs that come along will be zone ones as that is the way BB are going these days and now they have somewhere to put them, also the RPH buff is handy too. Must confess, i dont use the others.
wish I could get more of them Cant wait for next easter event to get the next one :) And a good guild would always help with event resources and advice. If you are still playing Consider one. :)
Once you have RPH building Manuscripts, it's a great building. You won't regret it in the future.
Oh yes you do. I simply forget to ever use it because of cooldown time. If it was 24 hours or less I might remember to use it on a regular bais - now I maybe use it once a month or less.
