[Feedback] Christmas Event 2015 Sneak Peek

[sdofmsdf]

the improved watermill seems really sweet! on the picture it looks like a 2x2 building, but i hope it's not a 3x3! please don't make it any bigger than 3x2 pls :P
also, hoping again for the recyclers. been collecting them for over 3½ years, so 2 of them will do nicely (3 maybe? ). new specialist? we just have to wait and see. all i can say is that i'm happy i didn't upgrade my watermills to level 6 yet, that would be a huge pain, granite wise. and also, will the improved watermills be tradeable? and what about tje improved farms? are they going to be tradeable? i hope so, because i cannot live with only 3 improved farms per year (lol).
can't we just cut off the halloween event and have a 3 month christmas event? ;P

It's panto season Kit, when women dress as boys and men dress as old women.

same size please, spent to much in time and resources creating my island to want to start over fitting in different size watermills.

Also why not inform us of these new buildings before we all spend grout on upgrades? Seems silly to gives us the resources to upgrade buildings (grout from halloween) to then tell us that those building we just hit upgrade on yesterday are now to come back down in under 2 months because you are releasing upgrades....

Exactly how far in the future would you like to be able to see? My recommendation for you: Never upgrade anything because maybe someday it's possible that something will change. Then you will be safe.

A new final overall reward is waiting for all diligent Settlers who opened all 21 doors.

21 Doors, wasnt it 28 doors last year

[Mannerheim]

Yes its shorter event this time, only 3 weeks.

XXL late September 2015, level 6 upgrades over all building
Halloween early October 2015, opportunity to farm grout and upgrade said buildings
Xmas sneak peek late October 2015, some building that 1 month prior we were given the opportunity to upgrade are being phased out

How about long than 1 month?.... Drop the attitude please and you may keep your recommendations, If i need help from a new player ill give you a shout.

It's always a gamble, we know new buildings are released in events but don't know what. In most cases 1 months warning is all we get.

A gamble yes everything is a gamble, But would it have been to much to ask for BB to open up the lines of communication before X amount of players invested large amounts of time gathering resources to then find out that time was wasted, just 9 days after Halloween started..... Does this breed good feeling among the player base? Does it inspire and encourage?

I brought a bunch of silo's them imp silos came out, I've not long upgraded all my farms now Imp farms have come out, how is bringing out Imp watermills any different.

The gap between silos- imp silo's was a very long time.
farms (halloween 2014? - imp farms halloween 2015) 1 year
Gap between the upgraded watermill - imp watermill... 1 month

You didn't actually answer the question, With a gap of 1 month between these info updates, The players who may have been farming grout and used it on watermills, Does this encourage and inspire them to keep farming? Just another series of poorly executed updates.
