    You are welcome for the fix...

    edit: I don't remember any other case where you needed event currency (which goes away at the removal of the event) to upgrade a building...
    Technically I would include the Xmas Market as a building which can only be upgraded with event currency.

    No one is forced to use Gems for this upgrade. You can use Footballs available during the Event and not pay a single Gem.

    The Settlers Online is a strategy game that requires you to plan your actions to get the best results. If you decide not to do it and suddently find yourself with too few Footballs to upgrade the building, this is not a fault of the game's design.

    The Gem option is an emergency option. It is not necessary to use it in order to upgrade the building fully.

    The upgrade cost of footballs is in the dev diary. If you look at the gem costs for levels you see that this level has a lower cost compared to others no doubt designed to make this upgrade more acceptable outside of event time.
    The "splitting" of cost of event resource over levels is BB helping the players not punishing them. Obviously the building would have cost 6995 footballs up front if the later level didnt have the 1000 football cost. This way you can get the building cheaper at first and more can afford it. This model would have also been used with the storage tower but for some incomprehensible reason players complained about it at test so now we ended up with live version that costs 500 footballs more initially.

    I argue that there is plenty of time to gather 1000 footballs through trade before the event deactivation.

    There is also third option that has much lower gem cost. Combine the 2 options. Gather what you can buy the rest with gems from event shop. Even if you manage to gather 0 the gem cost will be 796. Quite affordable.

    that's a better model... At least I know in advance the total cost of event resources and I don't have to read the entire change log to identify that in level 8 of one building i need extra to upgrade it.

    also... consistency ... since BB decided on changing the model for the storage tower... should have implemented the same decision for the residence... whatever

    maybe for hard core players
    this is not true for casual players

    Anyway, this thread about feedback to BB (the game developer) and not an argument between players.
    My feedback: it is a mistake to require event resources to upgrade a building.

    The information about additional Footballs required for the upgrades is displayed when you click the building in the merchant.

    vague and misleading (information)

    It also assumes that people know the upgrade details of the previous Wondrous Residence (from Easter Event 2019).

    also... inconsistent with the model for the other buildings

    nice job BB

    so: either tokens or normal resources/currency for future designs. no event resources as an upgrade requirement.

    Ps: Up Votes are going higher! We have now 1.784

    It says it will require soccer balls to upgrade. It does require soccer balls to upgrade. How exactly is the description misleading?

    the original version on test server did use tokens to upgrade but people complained as many do not like doing the weeklies, so it was changed to footballs, so you can thanks the players for that, not BB.
    second, the xmas market works the same way, you can only upgrade with event resources so must be done in the event or wait till next event. there is precedent
