nice nice nice
gives us smtg to play with
bundles are a big no no for me though.
The hell is up with all the stuff for gems? Your greed know no boundaries.
lol will be over in a week you have cut the limits down on some stuff ie spring park and made other stuff gem prices so for me everything worth getting will be done a week of ywc spamming
also, why would you offer smtg limited when it's already unlimited in merchant for the same amount?
Glad they have added Sylvana for those players who need her, but for me it looks like wondrous residences are all I will want, so will be rather a dull event....new explorer is a female version of Candid, hardly seems new to me
Ah goodie, another reason to quit TSO:
There is no space to place those buildings.
Oh and yet ANOTHER explorer...
More mouse clicks...
Then concerthall that does nothing.
Never mind...
Game...
over...
Agreed.Quote:

Nice......
It's nice to see they expanded the list with some more maps that will give us not only event resources, but DOUBLE of resources and XP.
Looking forward to maybe do some more Misty Cake and of course the popular and lovely missed The End of The World :D :D :D
(well, to be honest, it depends on how much event resources they bring :p )
No pfb or prem in the expensive bundle? But 2 pfb in the cheaper bundle? I'll get it just for those.
The buildings are nice. I'm happy to get Cloaked too.
A lot of items missing in this event where its been flooded with choices in the past, looks to be the norm from here out.
Toned down so those unable to play do not miss so much?
Hope they've fixed those game-stopping "undefined text" in the event quest names, those froze up the quest chains previously and wrecked the event.
Too many of those showing up, every new general from the past few years shows up as "undefined text" in the battle reports. When the game hits one of those, weird stuff happens, quests won't load, generals disappear into a database limbo etc... Not only is it sloppy but must be playing havoc in the conversion to Unity.
Lmao you didnt add any bundles on the test server for this? You guys probably knew it would be a big disappointment and didn't want to show us.
Someone must have been in a rush when creating the bundles for easter event, they are as worse if not worse than end of the world event assuming easter is one of the biggest events of the year.
The best bundle, the most expensive bundle, 13k eggs... has.. SPA??????????? who in the hell wants to have a spa its such an useless building, we havent had for example oil refinery in bundles for a while, even other buildings like oil mill if u threw that in it would be 100 times better.
6k eggs bundle.. are the 2 elixirs, 2 machine oil, 2 celebrity making it up for the price or what lmao not only u give those useless buffs, u also give some cheap buildings and.. normal watermill??? not even improved for that price?
6k gems bundle wow veteran and mod!
7 wondrous residences for 14k gems lmao and 4 rabit breeding buildings for 10,5k gems
cloaked gen limit 2? on test it was 3 i think, hope its not a typo
watermill,imp mill,imp butcher for gems.. if u were that desperate for gems you could just make some decent bundles and they would sell??
I would bet that if anyone needing an improved mill, improved butcher, watermill was to ask in their guild they would get them for free tooQuote:

Go into the Spacious Storehouse and click the icon to check how many achievement points you need to next upgrade level. Sigh, it takes you to the 2019 achievements. No wonder the same bugs keep recurring, if somebody keeps using cut n paste like this. :(
Kind of seeing both sides here, sadly see the "beggars" taking the mick and even reselling gifted items the minute they've been given them, and I'm as guilty as the next man for "dumping" stuff I no longer need (or can't find room for) onto newbies.Quote:

If I'd just started the game now with no added help (nor spending a fortune on gems), it would take about 2 weeks hard grind to qualify for the event just to see the last few days, yet now I could guarantee getting a newbie up and running by the end of the day. Although it feels like the right thing to do, can't help feeling I'm robbing them of the excitement we had getting the game basics down.
I NEVER TO DATE RECIVED A SINGLE ITEM FROM ANYONE IN THE GAME
its a game how hard can it be, every game can be played and won ,with ease i might ad
Why does the link in the spacious warehouse link to the 2019 achievement, instead of the 2021 achievements when you click the egg? - Or is it some kind of strange feature? as it is now it does not have any function as you have to click around to get to the right achievements and see your points. The 2021 ach did not exist back in 2019, so it does not show them when you first get there.
Why is that important? - We play as we like, some like to work together and help each other out. This game does not really have winners and losers. There is no right or wrong way to play this.Quote:

it turns out it's a speed buff not a production one. nicely done
BB is not normal today 04.04.2021 to give this message to many time. If i say in ticket to many problem in game and in client. Full bugs game!
http://prntscr.com/113zmwy
so its false advertisment and the better speed buff.. is same as the glue we have from chocolatier? why would they even introduce more speed buffs when we have glueQuote:

so why are you bombarding us with speed buffs? If u tried playing the game yourselves u too would soon have mountains of glue in ur star menu that u will never use coz its pointless. give it up bb plz, and stop giving obscure deifnitions of items that confuse us (and con us), something else u have been doing for years and years!
Hey all,
Some updates if you haven't seen them on the forum yet:
1. Easter Quest line stuck
2. Love Statue BuffQuote:
We're aware of this issue, but if you experience this issue, please contact our support team directly, they will be able to help you.
We plan to resolve the issue by awarding any "missed" Easter Event Achievements in a future update. Please keep an eye on our usual channels e.g. website, forum, social media etc, for more information soon.
3. Spacious Storehouse "Check" button checks for 2019 achievementsQuote:
After investigation, we found that it was indeed just a localization error, especially as no "new buff" was announced. With the upcoming version update, the localization will be adjusted so that this buff works as intended (no longer output +!). We have read and noted the wishes about a "buff with output+". It Will be reviewed, but we cannot specify a timeframe. However, the lovers statue will remain as it is with an adjusted/fixed localization.
If you still have any concerns/issues please contact our support team directly.

It's just a visual error. In fact, it works for the achievements of 2021.
Is there an issue with support as I sent a message via the settlers online support form but have not had an automated response back
the support option doesnt seem to work its best to direct email them on account.support@thesettlersonline.comQuote:

great event well say great I lost interest due to game freezing and having to refresh so much when it looked like it was working yet no action was recorded... but apart from that great event go all I wanted had to add the LOVERS STATUE to the list due to the fact you should of pointed out the cupid arrow being unlimited use that makes a huge difference in its value
Sometimes events start out great but become a bit of a chore. This one didn't & the event calendar, egg drop, market offerings etc were good. Thanks.
Contacted support in previous years, wasn't "compensated" for this bug.Quote:

That particular quest line has an "undefined text" in its title header, if it goes into "waiting quests" the game does not recognise it so it remains stuck as waiting for evermore. This is such a simple thing to fix yet you still allow it to cause misery, anyone with a text editor could fix it inside of 30 seconds. Until you do so, the only way to avoid it is to make sure each quest chain is completed within 5 days, so it can never go into "waiting", but with the random selection, a player might get a very lengthy quest line as their first, when there aren't enough eggs in game to trade away the "acquire xxx eggs portion", and producing 1500 gold ore takes time, the gold mines are very slow.
(While you're looking at undefined texts, do so for every new general introduced in the last 3 years, they're all named "undefined text" in the battle reports and have no avatar. This is a likely cause of generals going missing between maps, the game doesn't know who they are so they disappear into a digital void along with any troops assigned to them.)
I'd also like to know why the Germans got extra time before Phase 1 ended.
OK it was only about 15 minutes but this proved to be vital. I managed to complete the final PC camps on all 3 UK servers, but on the next due, France2, the final camp spawned with just 7 minutes remaining on the timer, and the client lagging and freezing badly.
The final general with the killer attack was crossing the bridge when the timer hit 0 and the camp just vanished.
I then switched to Germany9 and even after the frustration of hitting Play multiple times before the client started, I got into the game and there was still 11 minutes left on the timer. Although the camp wasn't due to spawn for another hour and a half, this still left me ample time for the "Lend a hand" quest to spawn, make 4 more Truces and hop from friend to friend until I found an unkilled camp.
Could have done the same on the other server if they'd had that extra time too, and killed off the camp for even more eggs.
Seems the "most favoured nation" status is still in place.
There also still seems to be an inconsistency in when the first Easter collectables actually spawn, taking these 3 servers as an example, Newfoundland spawned eggs as collectables on the 2nd spawn after event started, on both Northisle and Sandycove, the 2nd spawns were also "non-event" and I wasn't able to properly start until the next day with the 3rd spawn, some 24 hours later than Newfoundland. On those 2 worlds, I only just scraped the collectables achievement on the last spawn, yet had finished it 2 days earlier on Newfoundland.
There shouldn't be these inconsistencies, us "night owls" already are at a disadvantage with your unannounced maintenances.
Lastly, with most home islands totally full with buildings, there's not enough space to place enough garrisons to use the combat option on the PC camps.
This part of the event needs rethinking, we shouldn't need to delete buildings or fields to place generals, nor be forced to launch attacks from Sectors 8 and 9.

I'd suggest checking spam folder in case you haven't already done so, adding "account.support@thesettlersonline.com" to your email contacts is also a good move.Quote:

However, there was a long standing problem with The Settlers not mailing newsletters, offers etc... to a large number of players and that's why we stopped getting gifts and codes via email, now they're ingame mails.
Of the 5 worlds I play, 4 used to get all or most mails, but 1 stubbornly refused to get any offers.
The ticketing system has been cranky for many years now, I do get an automated response soon after creating a ticket, sadly it's to inform me that the ticket has now been closed, even before support have even responded to it. Then I cannot reply, instead I have to create a new ticket, quoting the reference number of the first, and of course the system then closes that prematurely, which in a lengthy query where support require evidence or more information, later tickets can be quoting 6 or 7 previous reference numbers before you even get to write a reply, and by that time it's almost impossible for support or myself to track back through the original enquiry.
I also experienced another nasty bug this event, I had an MMA specially set up with skills to take down the "Alex" and "Bob" leaders in the PC camps.
He successfully took them down in the first two instances, then inexplicably started to lose the battles and many expensive troops had to be rebuilt.
Further investigation showed that he'd lost all skill books that had made him so useful and was now just a plain, vanilla MMA.
I can't have deleted them intentionally or by accident, otherwise the books lost would now be available again (or 50% of them if gems hadn't been taken) but there were no "spare" codices or books to be seen.
Very expensive and time consuming to remake these, on top of all the steel swords, crossbows and other resources needed to replace the lost troops. :(
Had an supprise yesterday, sent off my general to finish off the Party Crackers before CET10.00 and they won the battle.
...but won not a single item for the struggle; on Sunday I did the same and they came back with 100 eggs. Nothing on the final battle.
Concert Hall comes in handy when I use the boost for producing troops for my generals, and as slow as my level 7 Barracs is on topping up my generals, that was needed. Long wait between use of the Concert Hall but at times the Mountain Climbers boost kick it in the Barracs and troops are still made faster than Skunkmaster Flash-boost can provide.
Nowhere near obtaining the housing facility mentioned before the event but perhaps if I had forsaken all else thru the event I could have been. -Shall get it next time, for as others have mentioned there is getting less and less space on Sandycove Island
-In fact, I recall having blown up both the football ("soccer") field, the 2016 Soccer Trophy and the 2017 Soccer Trophy some years ago due to lack of island space.
Any way of having TECH squad reading thru my history to get those treats back ? Also I would like to know when I started up on thisgame. I have a reciept from a ingame purchase in January 2013.
My five cents.
it was an ok event - but getting kicked out multiple times druing SP+obs made it inpossible to stack 5 ywc + bonus addy on one run because of the loading times, most of the times with a Browser restart (Opera user)
