[Feedback] Upcoming Easter Event

CHOCOLATE BUNNEHS!!!!

Sorry, I'm a little bit excited about those.

I can't understand people who are moaning about not being able to get a second (or third?) vet for eggs. I agree that if you have an egg vet you should not be allowed another, as long as this is consistent with ALL event rewards. I have one gem vet and am happy to have an egg vet and that's that. However, I always thought that if you had an egg vet from last Easter, you could still have 2 for gems. Maybe BB should clarify this as it seems that all other event purchases do not affect the number you can have from the merchant.

I only bought a vet because I did not believe we would be offered one again this year, so I'm very pleased to see them. I also thing the floating houses are amazing. I can see a massive gem purchase coming just so I can definitely get all the things I want, and stock up on the CHOCOLATE BUNNEHS!

The issue with vet general is one that will show down the road really- when pvp is implemented. People having an advantage cause they spent rl money on gems i can accept- in the end the cost of the general isnt such that anyone laying out cash for a game in the shop wouldnt be able to buy it in TSO, consider it a payment for the fun u are having

However, artificial advantages having to do with decisions that are not thought through are another matter- there is no way for people to level a playing field in any way-shape or form once you got a vet general on the first round of easter event. You will be limited to 1 vet in shop and 1 from event and basically saved some euros on gems to get 2 generals. All latecomers will be able to buy 2 in the shop for gems and then one at the event and forever have an advantage in pvp encounters due to having a 50 troop advantage in their armies after a few battles (other people will end up with 2 vets on recovery ad the person with 3th vet will in most cases wipe the floor with other armies with 50 less troops)

So yes- to avoid issues down the line, either limit vets to 2 or limit it to 3, but do it equal for all players

I agree Qualan, it should be sauce for everyone, and not just the gander. The only fair way to resolve this now is to allow people with one egg vet and one gem vet to purchase another gem vet.

Anyone know if the floating houses will require building licenses?

[Thrade]

No other building gotten from an event up until now has used a license, so I think we can safely suggest that it won't.

I think what fastkiller is trying to say is; It's a little unfair that those of us who worked to get the Vet last year will not be able to get another this year. I feel the same way.

I'm all for putting the Vet in the event again, but not being able to earn a 2nd seems like punishing those of us for playing the game longer than others.

I couldn't agree more

[Lazy_Fruitbat]

I seen a few comment about longer playing player getting penalised but i bet longer playing player are not spending gems any more as what is there.Been promised a lot of things and it just event after event with a few things to get people to spend gems.I agree about the VG it should be limited to a number no matter how you get them events or gems.Sorry not jumping up and down as events just drive the market crazy and do nothing for the Long life of the game.

Important: You can only have access to one general of this type (received in exchange for Easter Eggs). This means that if you managed to get this general in the last Easter Event, you will not be able to get him this year again.

So can we get some official info regarding this veteranstuff!? It seems cuz i started playing after easter, i got 2 veterans from gem shop, and now i can get 1 more with eggs? But i think it doesnt work like that.. What i understand, 2 is max wether you got em from 1 easter 1 with gems, or 2 with gems and you get none with eggs? Am i right or what?

Thanks & Peace

Responding to people suggesting that limiting it to just 1 general from eggs ever is punishing long term players, I disagree.

Initially, I'd like to point out that this policy is in line with every other limited item in an event. Come Christmas if they do recyclers again, I can assure you that they will only allow you to have 1 from presents, if they do deerstalkers huts, they will only allow up to 3 total (ever).

For you to feel punished, I can only imagine you are after one of 2 scenarios
> You can get a total of 1 per year from eggs, so, if you had one from last year, you can get another one now. But new players who didn't get one last year can still only get 1. This creates a scenario where newer players are never capable of catching up. This scenario is very unfair, and is the sort of thing that will cause some newer players to give up as soon as they become aware, and no game wants that.
> You can get an increase of 1 per year. That is, up to 2 this year for everyone (so you can get +1 if you did last year). If they went down this road, does it end though? In 5 years time do we offer up to 7? There has to be limits.

No, I see the way it's structured as a positive for long term players. You've been playing for longer, so probably have a good economy and can acquire eggs fairly easily, AND, you get the benefit of not actually needing to spend so many on the buildings, and can perhaps get some of the cooler buffs.
Eg, the new player this year may decide they want all of the building/specialists (let's pretend they don't care about buffs, being temporary and probably seem less appealing). They need
Vet -> 1350 eggs
Explorer 420 x 2 = 840 eggs
Floating house 75 x 5 = 375 eggs
Water Mills = 240 x 5 = 1200 eggs.

Now, even if we concede that maybe Watermills aren't as cool, and can be purchased for regular trade anyway, just the other 3 things add up to 2565 eggs, which seems unlikely for newer players, and they may need to make tough choices.


Players who have been playing since last year have at least some of these things, your expenses to buy the rest are far lower, and you can focus on just the few things you need and move on with your game. Or sell your eggs for extra profit, or go back to adventuring, whatever.
Long term players aren't punished, but rather they are offered extra choices.

People are saying that everybody should be able to buy either 2 or 3 vets, no matter when they started playing the game, so that there is a level playing field if pvp is ever implemented. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
