Feedback Snow Flurry Event

[DeletedUser1681]

...are snow crystals inspired by my suggestion catch me if you can?...

you mean, are they moving around ? then no they're not.

Must you be online for snow crystals to appear in your city?

No, when you log in you get a pop up as Soggy describes. Actually just now I logged in and found not one but two crystals. So I wonder if there's some kind of set time after which they appear (and so there could be several in the morning) or is it just chance ??

EDIT: Is it really 35 days long? I didn't have a Beta account during the summer solstice, did they overlap, or did the SS start after Beta finished?

Found my own answer:
Beta Aug 01-Aug 22
Live Aug 08-Aug 29

So if the same holds true, this should go live in a week.

Now the question is are the last 2 event items obtainable without diamonds? Or will it be like the Summer Solstice where you had a ~5% and a 0.000001% chance?

I've found them every time my city has reloaded, a couple of times when I left my city (after I finished NHing my fellowship and once when I spent KP on the tech tree), and a few seemingly random times as well, usually an hour or so apart. Also the number of snowflakes you get per crystal seems to vary randomly between one and at least three. Has anyone got more than three at once?

The event looks good, but we are going to face the same problem as we did the last time. We are going to save all the snow flakes for the last days of the event, because that's when the best awards will pop up (like that blue tree - that was awesome).

This spoils the fun a little bit, but still thumbs up.

 

[Elrondriel]

OK, starting with the good news: we have a new event and it lasts through the whole holidays - YAY !

BUT, did Rike really approve that artwork ? This is the first time that I'm deeply disappointed about a design feature in Elvenar. The snow on the background looks really visibly "topped on" and blurred. No snow on the Ancient Wonders background overlays ? No snow in our cities and not even on the empty expansions ? Come one, you could do this far better !

 

[SoggyShorts]

I hope there's a list somewhere, 35 days of possible "best items" is a bit of a gamble

last time i went for runes only on live server which made me build 4 wonders from 54 runes or so awarded, most likely i will go this time aswell

I reached quest #11 Gain 30k coins 13 snow flakes. Having a really small city (just now researching ancient wonders) I collected some coins and the quest gave as expected the Blue your not there yet but on the right track bubble from the quest icon. Then I finished a standard quest to train 30 troups and when I collected the 15k coins it didn't count towards the snow quest.

Well that's a bummer. With just 12 little residences it's going to take me awhile

You've got the culture values wrong, Woodelves are chapter IX, not XIV.
Don't know why the Elvenarchitect goes all the way to XIV, apparently he knows more then we do.

 

[DeletedUser1750]

Didn't even catch that. But that does mean a new chapter is coming

 

[Buttrflwr]

I am sooo confused. I don't understand the boxes, the percentages, etc. I clicked on the +5 box, and I am not sure what I did. HELP.

nvm, reading is fundamental. I just found the event rules and explanations.

 

[DeletedUser1721]

Another event where the quest requires us to have a Magic Academy to progress on the event.

When is Inno going to actually make the Magic Academy worth the space it takes up, as opposed to trying to make things that penalize people for not wanting to waste 25 squares on a building that gives no ranking points?

At least the Training Grounds, Mercenary Camp, and Barracks all give ranking points. As do the armories. And the builder's hut is small, and the trader is actually useful. The Magic Academy is big, and there are a lot of things that are worth a lot more ranking points that could be built in that space.

That quest is Gain a power of provision, not produce it. You can still find one in a neighborly help chest

Last event that had gain a power of provision, I filed a bug report when I didn't get credit for getting from a help chest and they said this was not a bug.

 

[DeletedUser1681]

I've found them every time my city has reloaded, a couple of times when I left my city (after I finished NHing my fellowship and once when I spent KP on the tech tree), and a few seemingly random times as well, usually an hour or so apart. Also the number of snowflakes you get per crystal seems to vary randomly between one and at least three. Has anyone got more than three at once?

Logged in this morning and found 6 crystals, each giving 1 snowflake.

With questlines like this you have to break the routine and not collect everything at log in. Check the quest, collect supplies for example, check next quest, collect resource etc. Otherwise you might notice that you just collcted troops from barracks and the next quest is "train xx troops" ...ooops !

nvm, reading is fundamental. I just found the event rules and explanations.

The % indicate "how many chance you will get this item"
e.g. 10% 90 snowflakes in medium gift box...it mean 1/10 chance to get 90 snowflakes
+5 mean you get and add "5 winter globe" if you open that small gift box

after you have store 250 "winter globe", you can use it to get the 1st grand prize <snow flake mountain>
