have to say seasonal adventure list is rubbish this year and might of been ok if you have left them at x3 but you had to ruin that also no incentive to even bother
Have you published the list of eggs per adv for 2018?
Personally I think this event is great. Said it before and I'll say it again, plenty here for everyone and especially a huge bonus for newer players who need some decent generals to progress.
Well done BB
Everything looks good, well done :) except for the choice of the seasonal adventures and that they are x2 loot instead of x3.
just said in global on Sandycove - the best thing any new players can do is to make settlers from bread over the weekend.
As a server we will help noobs with brew and bronze swords (and bread ofc) but if they can get ahead with recruits-in-waiting, then they are on the best footing to getting their important gens too :)

You do know they changed the loot so instead of chance of 0 eggs we always get eggs now. Hence changed to multiplier as guaranteed minimum amount will over time give us more evenly eggs. So you know, I personally am very happy I don't have to face random chance for every adv loot.
Wow this seems to me to be the best easter event in years, i'm scrambling to get started with this eggstremely eggciting event!Good job!
Having realised that there is now no 0% chance of getting eggs from adventures the x2 loot seems to be a fair trade. However, other events still have x3 and 100% chance of getting event resources. Are we to expect this x2 loot in future events? Also if this is the case I think the adventure list for x2 loot should be reconsidered. Lets have some popular adventures on the list for a change.
Q1. So there will be a requirement to do adventures as part of the quest line...... Have you fixed the freezing/refresh issue on this then? Or are you expecting us to suffer in silence?
Q2. Will the iron willed geologist find two double sized deposits if he is skilled to find two at once, or will one be normal size?
Q3. If he finds the iron deposits on Archipeligo will these be double those deposit sizes or just double main island deposits?
Q: What are Seasonal Adventures?
A: A tool to keep drops from adventures people like to play lower so players have to work harder to achieve their goals.
Solution: Remove Seasonal Adventures, rebalance so every adventure gives higher egg drop.
I like it: every adv loot gives eggs, every explorer in treasure hunt brings eggs. I remember there was time when there was also 0 egg loots and explorers didn’t bring eggs with every search. I also like that scenarios brings eggs - maybe the time to do them all now.
Easter is my fav season in this game, because there is so many possibilities to get eggs. I hate Halloween because the pumkin refills and Christmas event is boring because there is no presents in the loot. But overall it is good that not every event is alike.- that would be boring too.
Hmm? half of the seasonal adventures are for low levels and some of them quite easy too. Note that low level players are not supposed to be able to buy everything, not even half of the shop offerings.
Also your suggestion of all advs providing good eggs would result in the same old BK/RB/WOTS grind that happened for years. Maybe you weren't here back then.
were better off with X2 loot bonus As they dropped the 30% chance of not getting eggs we had last year it means we get eggs every time. So in the long run we get more eggs.
As for the bonus addy list i think its just about right as it helps the lower lvl players who need it more than high lvl players. We need to keep the new players in the game as without them the game will just fizzle out As most might not be able to buy gems. Got a few in my guild that cant afford to buy gems and the only thing keeping them playing is the chance to get better stuff from easter event. Only thing is no 2 player coops 2 4 player which some guilds will struggle with As not all guilds have enough players high enough lvl to do 4 player coops. Even those that do cant always get enough online at the same time to do them.
Ill be doing as many loot spot addy as i can so the low lvl players can get the eggs to buy the MMA. Already got a 3 player addy going to finish when the event starts so i can give 2 loot spots to my guilds low lvl players straight away.
To keep this game going we have to think about helping the new players not ourselves as they r the future for this game. To many selfish players who only think about themselves and what they want.
Hello folks! We've updated the Dev Diary to better clarify the limits of the Spring Park building. You can read more about it in its appropriate section here.
Is this correct?
Best adventure 63/126 eggs
Best colony 80/200 eggs
Exactly the same problems this event as I outlined after Halloween event.

Easter 2016 was great. Why are there no ls adventures worth doing? Why don't BB listen to players?
This could and should be a fun event for playing together. Sadly it isn't.
Because the entire idea of seasonal adventures is to force you to do trash adventures for a certain period of time rather than putting actual effort to reworking them to make them worth it.
If they are decent in the first place - they dont make it into this category.
Keyword "ls". It's something that BB does not like for obvious reasons. BK/RB etc. with high eggs or bonus loot just means easy resources with little to none effort and a lot of people just buying spots instead of playing. 2016 was at the end of that era that had been happening for years.
If you want to actually play together then there are multiple coop adv in the seasonal list for that purpose... However I guess in reality you don't mean playing together at all but just swapping loot.
Why do adventures have to have 'ls adventures worth doing'? All that happens when we have bk/rb in the adventures is that the rich get richer as they sell the ls's at daft prices instead of working within the guild to mutually support one another.
If you want an adventure with a ls then why not do dark priests? We have been sending these to our lower leveled members who only have slow generals. They start the adventure, 30mins later get a kill and the person who sent them the adventure then sends mma/nus to kill it in no time at all. Win-win for both as the higher level player can still be doing traitors/ywc etc while the slower player travels...
Also as has been said before, why not so coops? If you get a lower leveled player to start a buccaneer and they get their troops on the way you can join 15 mins later. Once all have killed the first three camps the lower leveled player can head their troops off to a loot-spot on the next buccaneer while the higher leveled player kills the rest of the camps. Rinse and repeat..... Or 3 players of same level can wipe them out in next to no time if they have cannons, mmas, mg etc.
I won't say I love the choice of adventures, as said earlier on thread, but they are what they are so work with them.
I think BB must have used a dice or tossed a coin when deciding what advs gave how many eggs and where to give the chance of 2 times.
I think that is a shame,, because this could have been a chance for people to try to do some of those adv no one wants to do.
Not very supricing this events big winner is Traitors. If you have the right gens it can be done in less than 30 mins with a loss of less than 100 rec and gives up to 128 eggs.
For me Easter event is no longer about what to get from Merchant- there really is not anything I really want or need from Merchant anyway. It is about activity and what would be best of all cooperation. But how to get people to do Tomby, whirly or any other co-op when you get more out of spamming Traitors ?
I can see that many of those adv that people rarely do have the double up chance - but then 2 times 24 or 48 really is not very much on an adv like SE that takes much longer to do and gives very little when it comes to loot compared to woodcutter, and very few eggs compared to traitors with 2 times 64.
Please BB - next time think - use the eggs to make people do different things and to make them work together.
I had so much fun when you put so much bonus on Raiders and Whirly that they was worth the trouble doing.
Yes I might just do them anyway,- but it is not possible to do them alone.
I cant imagine the complaints when an adventure that is available for map frag and can be played by almost all levels like traitors would not be in the list.
If you would bother to read what I wrote you would understand that the problem is not that Traitors is on the list. The problem is that Traitors really is the only adventure this event that pays of, and because of that,- it is more or less the only one people will bother to do.
I did nice have the Easter quest completed. I tought then i can do secluded Experiments that is the last big adventure i had left. I tought i have 9 days fighting for the quest. Yes it is but not complety value for money because. Then the new easter questline is blocked by this adventure. I lose a lot of egg if i tried to win the Secluded Expirments adventure. To many semi bos leaders which you do loose a lot of troops.
This ugly Secluded adventures is eating my titanium bow if i forgot the let them save behind. The stupid boses are not allowed to be fought with bows. So bad bad adventure and it is blocking my easter quest line. I do not think it is vaulue for money i do not get 250 egg loot i gues. I lost lots of equipment.
I think the dark priest is only a bit good enough for the egg. and you can finish it fast enough without blocking your easter questline.
Other setup soldiers titanium elites kan not kill the 3 bosses. Yes it kills the three boses but then regualar soldiers are left . So that needs 2 attacks and 130 elite titanium soldiers gone. So no value for money. Now i now why this quest is promoted. So bad desigend only for lv 50 above. and with a premium general I gues for 6900 robijnen ?Diamonds
But the biggest problem that easter questline is an adventure and not a quest map. So if they would let us allowed to have 2 adventures at the same time or make easter adventure reconised as a quest insteat of real adventure.

great from me in all ways.
Saqui If you´re still online-can you please come to whisper? Urgent issue
I bought the Spring Park. While I think the event is a good event, I'm underwhelmed by the usefulness of some of the offered items. I like the advanced buildings available for sale however the buffs on offer from the spring park are so lack lustre they do NOT justify the effort necessary to get it. I've traded so many resources to get it and I'm quite frankly disappointed. And if I may say so: The cool down time of 2 days is atrocious. Unless you're planning on upgrading it as time goes one, I see little use out of this item. And it's not even Trade-able!!!!! At least if I purchase a building I regret later I can always sell it for something.
i got the building too, but is not very usefull as it is
Walpurgis nights shoud cost 1 magic bean not 100 if you want us to use it
cooldow of building shoud expire when buff expires not after 2 days ... is stupid, this way i'll forget i even have the building
if you make Walpurgis nights 1 bean and colldow of building expires after 5 minutes as that how much buff lasts, then i'll probably useit ... i have many buildings and is hard to find colectables for me ... i have glasses too :))
i recomand adding a buff to speed up making of books ... but eaither make the buff last 2 days or change cooldown of building to how long the buff lasts ... as i sead before.
So this is what i think ... hope it helps
