yes, but they said they don't want to implement it because sending all at once is a performance killing issue (maybe both server and client) just thinking what would happen sending all hundreds explorers to the same search (and growing with upcoming events).

I don't care if it takes 20 minutes to process them, I just want fewer clicks. Select the treasure search, select the 100 explorers and then let the code do its job.
like keeping one explorer and then sleep for 1minute until the client process the next explorer it will take 100 minutes, if you have 100 explorers, but you will keep your sanity.

There are ways to do it, I don't know the code of the game or how the developers work on this but I believe they can implement a solution like that.

No, they did say they know about the struggles of sending lots of explorers to searches and they said they will work on this.. once we are on unity they said i think?

[Mannerheim]

Thanx for removing boris from the rewards... there are many that still doesn't have him and would love to have gotten him this year... but no... he has been removed from the possible items to get from the shop unless you spend gems on him :/

Sylvana will be in the shop for eggs and gems

[Cheetah2_777]

Same with starting, stopping a production chain. And buffing.
Too
Many
Clicks.

is that confirmed, havent seen changlog and the likes anywhere and not on test server

BB will just say wait for the dev diary which should come today/tomorrow but we will see by then

Amorp also wondered about the event bundles and there should be three of them with 2 available for eggs.

Will Unity allow for group sending of explorers?

We know this is a feature that is very high on the Wishlist of all Settlers and thus it is also very high on our list of new features we want to develop in the future.[...]But after all, Settlers have moved into Unity and you and we are satisfied with the game’s performance, this will be one of the first features we want to tackle.

Side note - Dev Diary is around the corner

"a large event with many new specialists" ..... Only new specialist on test is the Motherly Explorer, here's hoping whats on test isn't whats going to be going live

New??? Motherly Explorer looks like a candid explorer in drag?

15 min
i have 75 it takes 3 minutes to send them on artifact search

you must have over 400 explores then

It takes 5 mouse clicks to send a single explorer on a treasure search. So let's do the math shall we? 75 x 5 =375 clicks total and apparently we have 180 seconds (3 minutes) to pull it off. 375/180 = 2.083 clicks per second.

Now the only way you can reliably do that is by using a third party tool and even then lag would get in the way as even barring mistakes, ie godlike perfection with your mouse clicking, I'm not seeing 3 minutes being possible. 15 minutes with over 100 sounds about right.

I have over 100 and I don't use third party software although frankly I probably should as clicking over 500 times gets old.(more than 2500 times a day if you use fast returns as that gives overall a better result). My theory is that BB hasn't truly thought this through, as otherwise they'd have done something about it years ago.

As for this event as a whole, what were they thinking? Oh well, no need to spend any real dollars for this event I suppose. It's good that BB is so flush with cash and can afford a second event in a row with mediocre rewards as there's nothing in what I've seen so far with this event to get excited about.

Hmm she's not showing up on the Settlers Wiki as being available for the event, so are you sure as it's usually accurate with what is coming.
