But now that it's over and done with, let's give BB some suggestions and ideas for celebrating other awesome content in TSO:
I feel strongly that we are lacking an event for celebrating these 2 absolutely essential and hard-to-miss items:
The Cheesesandwich
The Horseman Statue
It is long overdue, that we get the opportunity to celebrate and show our love for these rare and essential items in TSO :)
Thanks BB for listening to your players.
Those who think , the people here had something to do with the quick end of this event, should have a look at german forum, they where close to 80 pages of complaints when they decided to stop the event. And all though these pages here might have helped to get the message thru...we all know its the germans who decide...
Lessons to be learned from this:
1) Always give an opt in/opt out possibility. (as you usual have on normal events where accepting the quest to reach a certain level will start the eventquests)
2) Never ever mess with the colorsscheme's or the lightning on homeisland!
3) Stop trying to suprise us...it never works out.....
4) Dont make things bigger then they are.... ( Today the most wonderful, excellent and best event of all times started....really? How do you guys now think about this openingsentence for this event?)
5) Those that do like an event should let their opinion be heared too. Today we had 15 pages of complaints with just 1 person who said he liked the event, all other's simply disliked (or even hated) it.
LOL so an event started after I went to work and ended before I got home to actually play with it.
I think the idea of giving an adventure extra loot for a short time, like a day or two is a good one. Especially with adventures no one does because the loot/XP isn't worth the losses. Would be nice to have this as a semi-regular thing, especially between events. Just maybe don't call it an "event"? People might expect more and get disappointed.
"The “Black Knights” mini event was supposed to be a fun event for all players"
Firstly, only players level 42 and over could take part. Secondly, all of a sudden they are calling it a mini event.
The extra loot was not explained well enough to have anyone interested. There was nothing really to do in this "event" other than spend gems and do the BK adventure. Even though it has been said lots of times, the black and white islands were a major fail.
I like the idea that they are trying to come up with extra content outside of the seasonal events, but having said that I think there should of been a full summer event this year and a lot of people were under the impression that this BK event was just that. So you can imagine the disappointment when this 2 day waste of time and effort was put on. (Yes folks it defo needs re-working). If they were to do this over the Christmas period they would have a riot and a mass exodus on their hands.
Personally I was ready to spend some money on this event and was geared up to get involved. Luckly, I waited for it to go live before I did. Saved myself some cash, not the best way to run a business IMO.
I do feel like that they owe me an event, sounds petty I know but thats how I feel about it. Other than having football as a theme they could work on a summer holiday concept, i.e collecting beach balls from adventures and such like and build up with summer and sunshine.
I hope they do keep working on these mini events as they could be really fun if worked out right, just please don't replace them for the seasonal month long events and then call it a good job :)
Just my 2 pence worth.
Personally, I'm sorry the event was cancelled so soon. Living in Canada, I had barely gotten up this morning when it was cancelled. I had time to do just one very fast BK. I didn't mind the black and white on the home island, but it did make it hard to see generals on an adventure. Other than that, I like the idea of a mini-event where a particular adventure may drop special loot. Unfortunately some people had built up this event in their minds to where they were expecting a full-fledged event like the Halloween, Christmas or Easter events, and there was disappointment when they learned otherwise. I hope something similar to this event might be tried again, but without the monochrome adventures please.
I bought mysterious Black Box. 4 Accolade was in it. Now what can be done. Can I get the gems?
Accolade still works, but the buff is not tradeable. Ive just used one on my island and I have knights walking around instead of animals
