Giving away everything does not resolve the matter of not having enough space on island. If low level players complain about not getting enough presents (to get as you said"" decent stuff" from explorers: They could have started earlier; they complain about getting "not enough" free stuff in a faster way. How you think higher level players got all explorers 'n such? Easy? We also struggeled. Why all of a sudden give lower level players more free stuff? If low level players have opportunity to gain more presents in other way's: Why become higher level? Long term players did not have the champion generals to level up, so low level players are already in advantage! So you fail those achievements, so what, you got a lot of free stuff from opening doors etc. that are the SAME on LOW and HIGH levels, be grateful.

BB just revoked the present keeping, no way it is coming back. Big fish-players kept em till next event then made killer profits.
Again: The game seems to be more about events then "non-events". Maybe I sould also only stick to events.

hi Cheetah2 your right it doesnt resolve the lack of space but we now have improved buildings to cut down having so many stakers/farms/silos/butchers/watermills and if i missed any them also
can use the wood yards to plant trees if you want i only have 1 (not the gem one) and use it to plant my trees saves needing the foresters
the recyclers 2 of them if i remember rightly saves you needing 4 cutters 5-6 planters and cokers again gain them build spots back,if your lucky enough to have the epic farm eventualy have everything max levels in that again can save you room for alot of buildings so there are options available with the lack of space problems for us higher levels

when i first started i struggled back in 2012 but since then the game has changed and improved alot and for me if i can help guild mates or people on mt friends list with a bit extra i dont see the problem its all down to how a player wants to play the game i guess

and yeah i dont mind having the limited specialists etc on one server and over 4yrs worth on the other as for me it shows me how i can personally help those in my guild better that may be struggling and how i can advise them better. im not a low level player like they are as other server im level 54 hense i can do vlts etc to trade the ls for gc then the gc to presents there to help me out, but those in my guild in this my main server account level 45 under cant so i choose to help them out. not get everything at all but to get some of the better stuff at least as for me the likes of the stalkers and watermills be extra options for them to work towards and we dont just give them all presents to get everything we give them the last few they may need to get say a rph or santa or recyclers etc after they have done their best to get some themselves first.

Every time the game encourages more players to do adventures and enjoy all the content the game has to offer, we see the same ideas and requests for the faults to be rectified. Is there anyone from BB actually taking all these suggestions and looking at improving the way people do adventures so that everyone will enjoy doing them more?
Things like a countdown for players to see how long their general has to arrive at the adventure island without having to keep visiting it, move troops to the top of the barracks queue etc.

Even island management has plenty of room for improvement, like better tutorials so new players don't think their resources are limited when a deposit runs out or generals are dead and need to be bought from the tavern after being defeated in a battle.

It is really not about getting free stuff or when you started. It is about being able to get something out of being active. That is giving everyone - new or "old" player the options to get something out of an event.
We need both new and old players in the game, so cant really understand the politics BB seem to have. For me it looks like "scare away the new playes and hand everything over to the "old" players as easy as possible (I consider myself as an "old" player)
The new players really dont care how much you struggled, and I dont think the demand to have it all for free either.

But this event - only being able to get what 3 tavern explorers bring home. I consider that as pretty stingy. Yes they can buy more with gems, but think most prefer to wait a bit to see if this game is for them. At least give them the option to get something out of being active - like being able to get some prezzies or collies from adv.
And yes we did all get some very nice stuff from calendar - and thanks for that BB.

Hello Everyone,

I have started playing tso shortly before Halloween, and i am a bit disappointed with the xmas event.

I don't mean the stuff we can get rph, imp water, recyclers, deerstalker, gingerbread houses, floater (or schools) and especially the new gens are great. I am more talking about the fact that there is not much to do during this event. Wait for doors to be open, wait for cols to spawn, wait for explorers to come back... Nothing really new to do. Achievements are linked to explorers/colls, no real quests to hunt either and the xmas adventure are done in 30 seconds max.

I am extremely pleased with the Christmas Event. Have managed to collect over 15,000 presents and bought all I need. Managed to get enough collectibles to make 5 baskets and have excess over to help my guild. Many thanks BB for another winner.
