Happy to have a new Special Event going here. I love the new loading screen! and I really like all the colorful giant eggs decorating the area around my city. I love the idea of the Phoenix! It fits so well with the myth of our cities, but still suits the Easter and Springtime season. Very well done!
Can't say that I am much interested in the first of the daily prizes being offered. What is the real use of the Travelling Trader? If you are a member in a fellowship, generally you should have no problem trading for the goods you need. So why spend time, space or resources producing them? Spend it on producing your boosted goods. I could see this being useful only if you were unlucky enough to have a fellowship and neighborhood that had an inactive trading market. A long time ago, when Elvenar first started, inactive trading markets were a huge problem, but seems to have been take care of long since now. So I have been accumulating "sky essence" and waiting for the last three days as the three travelling trader buildings have been offered. I am hoping something more appealing will be offered soon. Maybe instead of offering the three Travelling Traders all together, they should have broken them up with other daily prizes?
I am a bit worried that the cost in Phoenix Feathers may be way too high for the main prizes. It the Winter event it was near impossible to get all of the main prizes unless you used diamonds. Now I realize that the point of the game to the designers is to make money by having players buy diamonds, but just as a matter of fairness, it should not be a requirement. I feel that if you play regularly, it should be possible for you to get all the main prizes, whether you buy diamonds or not.
I approve of the easier quests that are a part of this event. In the last couple of events, it could take some players two or three days to finish one quest, which seriously delayed your advance toward getting the main prizes. It is also very frustrating if you have to spend days just to finish one quest. That might be ok for the regular, every day quests, but in the Special Events, I think the quest should be faster, especially since we have a deadline. They are doing a good job of it this time around, in making the quests easier and faster.
In the winter event, the Winter event, nearly all of the prizes were not just useful but beautiful and interesting in appearance as well. This early in the Phoenix event we have not seen many of the prizes yet, but I hope that the designers made them as beautiful as the ones in the Winter Event.
Hope everyone enjoys playing the game and the new event! Regards, All.
