Ok my little thoughts for this event... they are mixed
First thing i want to say is, why do we have to have new events every year? The year is already stuffed with a lot of events and yet u still need to implement new ones? For me this event is not welcome cause just after xmas and before easter... i prefer having a calm time at least... and you can always use existing events to introduce new things. get some other things out of the event offer if u dont want to offer too much... dunno... but just for the sake of new content do not create one event after another...
For the event itself.. starting positive here:
I liked the idea u implemented co-ops and multiplayer adventures... first event i get to know so many differnt new players. never had that before. I know some others didnt like it but it brings us all together playing.
The crazed love buff is a really good thing. As refill drops are low it was the only way to get the needed amount together. Sth similiar for halloween would be nice. But I kinda think that almost 400 flowers is a bit costly for only 3h when used by a friend. But tis is to be discussed.
Using buffs to trigger zone effects is a nice idea too. But it would be of course nice if it would work perfectly and not like 50/50 chance...
Now i fear i come already to the negative part:
Besides Geo/Explorer the buildings are hm well... i call them nice to have buildings but I dont see really somthing worth in them. I am not the player getting involved too much with adventures and hence the weather station wont be useful to me. but thats also a choice everyone can make... so thats a negative side everyone has to consider himself
Observatory was a building I really wanted to have and i am disappointed it doesnt work properly. Adventure consumes most time here especiallywhen needed for events. Make it work and it will be a light in the end of the tunnel.
Love garden... First thought was cool and nice u get buff and quests for getting even more buffs. And quests are doable.
... now that i understood correctly how it works... well its not useless but I dont like the idea u need to have 2 gardens to have the possibility to get the 25 buff triggered. Thats nonsense. Its like buying a car and getting only 2 tires when buying. With the cooldown for 2 gardens at 10h30 and then have like 90 min to get the profit from it only... nope. i dont have time to do this and even with more than 2 gardens i dont see this happening. I will use the one i have now set up with 22 buildings and thats it. but i am disappointed. I thought its a nice thing to get people have another form to getting population grow faster but not in this "time depending" way. I still want to decide myself when to come play the game and not have every 2-3 h somethings that needs to be started. I have a real life.
I use the occasion also to point out if u keep getting us these buildings creating zone buffs around them u should consider that the island is not giving us endless spots to place them effectively... i mean i love xmas market but if u keep getting us these things... we will run out of spots soon... give us tools to create some more of these spots and we will be more delighted to have these buidlings. but with all the little trees bushes and whatever blocking certain spots (which are sometimes even free on test server!) it is not making fun to rearrange the island... and the costs wont be less to get more of these zone buff buildings if u want to use smaller areas and more than one of the buildings !
I am disappointed that this event didnt give us the opportunity to buy any buildings for economy. I think it was ur aim to get completely new things in it but i would always prefer to have some new workyards than these special buildings. A lot more use comes from a workyard in my opinion, especially for players with lower levels.
PLease do never again launch an event if the test phase is so full of bugs. I was even in test and real game not concerned for the bugs related to the buffs and zone buffs... but game performance and login took me sometimes 1.5h with nothing to do... it is really disappointing when u are ready to invest 3-4 of a day to run this event and then ur blocked by technical issus... sorry BB, but if u want us to spend money on this game u better start getting it run more smooth... i mean if u buy something u would expect it to work fine... and not crack at every little touch...
If we report u bugs please dont take us for idiots playing this game. I had players trying to proove to u the buffs arent working for them for sure. I mean i know we complain a lot but is also because u do seem to listen less and ess to what we are trying to tell you: the game is getting more and more unsatble, less reliable hene less enjoyable. I know a lot of high level player quitting cuase its annoying to dont see improvement... i see tendencies to the other side: getting worse with evry little new thing implemented...
so please listen now: the game need to be fixed in all kind of ways, make it more stable, fix known issues and dont question our reported negative behaviours of the game - then you can start agin introducing new things !
Not before! This is something not only this server is aksing for.... i seeen this commented in almost all forums... just listen !!!!
WIth this I will stop now and apologize for all my grammar mistakes... Have a nice settlers game day ... and let the easter event be better in performance !
