[Feedback] Dev Diary: Easter Event 2018

[Grayprince]

I agree with other users that the cooldown period is way too long - and why have a cooldown period anyway?

Another idea would to have some fairy sparkles or some other effect around it - by type of buff - when it was on so you know when it is active.

The cost versus benefit analysis says = fail

I think the park needs some kind of effect to show its status, I am not too bothered about the cooldown period.

The adventure selection is not great, I just ended up doing Traitors over and over. I suspect this will always be the case if you have one adventure that happens to have the biggest reward for the smallest effort. Maybe some of the harder, less played adventures could be added with a much greater egg reward.

I think the egg prices for the older generals needs to be reduced too. The veteran still has the same price as when it was the best general available, I would be surprised if it was used anymore though, it should be as low as 1000 eggs now we have so many better generals available. Same thing for the Master of Defence, this has very few uses and should only be worth around 1000 eggs.

Other than that, I think Garrun the Trapper needs to cost eggs instead of gems if it is included as an achievement.

overall happy .. i like that spring park has a long cooldown .. it gives us something to go for already with next years .. and the year after .. assuming the game is still running.

Biggest issue I feel is when i first started in September 2015 .. Halloween event all the high levels were doing BK and giving ls's away to the low levels ... it really gave the low levels a good chance .. AND seeing where the game could get them if they stuck with it ... with the lack of decent ls adventures now that has been lost. While co-ops can address that slightly they are still not hugely popular and if you are a new player the higher levels dont want to be held up for 30 mins waiting for your gens to arrive at least if they are doing a bk you can send gen when they send theirs .. and they dont need to wait around then.

Now the higher levels still get as rich as fast as they can zoom through traitors in minutes .. and then sell the eggs but the lower levels just get left further behind or poorer faster.

So ... please bring back the community spirit for these events!!!! and show BK or RB some love!!!

Love the new geo, love the extra mma, hate the cooldown of the new building... making it very forgetable, but overal like the event...

1. My goal for this Easter event was MMA and the 2 floating residence, The price for the Veteran it's like a bad joke ... I have 2 of them and gladly delete them for the star menu if that it possible, they only are in the way
2. after a deep analyze of effort/retribution I think I will pass the loot related achievements (I will not do Traitors around, around) even if my "Eastern basket" stops at low levels.
3. I think the iron - will geologist is useful around 5% (typical, after invested so many books in other geologist for iron related bonuses... an iron-will geologist appear)
4. the spring park ... I will buy it in the end ... just because in the actual stage has little to none use at all, but I learn in 5 years of chaotic updates that a remastered edition will appear after the event , and better not to fell sorry there, when will be available only whit gems.

Happpy with everything BUT for "Where do easter eggs come from adventure"...99 eggs to buy the adventure and very little reward..even the achievement rewards were very poor for such a price. Some people like doing achievements and you made this every expensive for very little in return...that is my one true disappointment. I really do not understand the reasoning behind charging 99 eggs for little return.

[Yarkee]

Overall not that bad, but I am somehow disappointed.

Strong sides:
1. Old adventures revisited. (Oh, please split adventures / scenarios/ expeditions shared lock)
2. MMA. Expensive but still good for suicidal runs. Especially when everything has splash damage.
3. Explorers, good to see them back.
4. Buildings, Residences, Imp Silos and Butchers - always good to have some.
5. Party crashers. Choose to handle with army or resources. Please implement this for Halloween golem

Not so strong, but still welcome:
1. Egg residence. Extra space is nice, but it feels like a re-use.
2. Iron geologist. Most of current battles require platinium, but he seems a good choice.


Please reconsider in future Easters:
1. Spring park. Situational at best. I hope BB plans some development like extra buffs / longer duration / reduced cooldown (like for improved provision house). This would be better then multiple parks to reduce cooldown. Price in beans is too high. Actually, the same goes to Football Pitch from 2016.
2. MoD. Overpriced. As he always was.
3. Egg-search adventures. There something is like 10-12 egg-hunt adventures, each yields 9 eggs. This sums up to 108 eggs from egghunt adventures, (and I think its actually closer to something like 90 Eggs). My current counter is 6k eggs after 15 days. % eggs from egg-hunting = 2% total. That was disappointing last year, and it is even more this one.
4. During the Christmass and Halloween I usually buy most of interesting stuff (new buildings + specialists) by the end of second week of the event, and end up with some surplus for old-tier or granite. During Easter I never manaegd to get gnough eggs.
5. Scenario: "Where do easter eggs come from". Cost 500Eggs for avhievements, offer no eggs in return, and running 3th of them is boring, not to mention 5.

I love addy picks for the event. Traitors is easy and fast to do & PvP is always fun. I usually hit the wall within a couple of days, but I haven't yet - to a great benefit for my guild.

I was quite happy with the original skills for the iron geo. After buying him, I'm convinced the new skills are a lot better.

From an asthetics POV I'm not feeling the house at all. It doesn't fit in with the rest of the design. I get it's supposed to be more of a gimmick, but I'm throwing it in a dark corner of my isle, and hope I don't notice it again.

I am a bit disapointed about the spring park. I was expecting something along the lines of the footie pitch, a uniquely animated building. The PH/RPH buff is great though.

Overall a good, but a bit expensive event. There's still a bit of time left, but sofar I've had a great time. Thanks guys!

If you say this, you have yet to realise the potential of the VET skilled up with the right battle skills. It can easily be skilled up to work as an unskilled Major(better actually, as it's 265 vs 270 unit capacity in the end), and can make larger alis much faster to run when you don't have to wait for gens to walk back and forth.

[Max_turtle]

I'm mostly happy but i have some things i'm not a 100% ok
1. good job on the event itself

2. - the spring fountain is nice - but the cooldowntime is to much for only +100%
- the event questline took to long the trigger the next - felt like ages
- the short events within the questline are rediculus - finding 9 eggs and getting them as a reward - yippi :| some more rewards would be nice
- some stuff feels like very expenisve on eggs e.g. the mod and vet
