Feedback Summer Event 2023

[zookeepers]

I would rather like to pay 50 diamonds to select neither.

Ruined event with probably the most detested game mechanic, the shuffle button.

Nailed it. Now the summer event is just the winter event skinned a bit differently. Not a fan. Call me crazy, but I enjoyed competing with the hood for prizes on the wheel.... I have no enjoyment of narrowing in on the desired prize only to hit shuffle.

Last time I checked pirates were known for plundering and attacking, not defending
Pirates ARE the attacking army, so it is just fitting for the boosts to be exclusive for attacking army in this event

Yeah, cause pirates never find themselves having to defend against a country's navy?

 

[crabbyoldman]

I don't agree. I've been opening the slots everyday, usually within 4 tries. So I've still plenty of doubloons to spend.
And don't forget you can open at least 10 slots (I think) with key parts from daily challenges.



This is meant to be a relaxing event. People might be on vacation in that period, so they wanted only very casual games, minimum skill required

Obviously you are spending diamonds if you are opening 4 slots a day. I only get 20 doubloons a day from the quests, for sure not enough for 4 attempts

I didn't spend any diamonds, I just completed all the rush quests.

No, they'll take the fight to them and attacking the navies preemptively. Than they'll move on and start raiding heavily armed merchant ships.

I get an average 30 doublons per day
1 rush quest (on average one per day) + 1 daily quest + 10 free collect quest
(not counting milestones, incidents, wins on the board, ...)

and you only need to play the board 2/3 of the days for the calendar
the rest can be opened with daily challenge parts

so IF a player can find the calendar piece every day in 4 slots he would be doing it for free

(but winning it with 4 every day is not realistic)

 

[D-Best]

yes random

at the beginning of the winter event people recorded the shuffle but the last visible board was not the correct board when opening the pieces

Well, yes, I suspected that the mixing presents in the winter event was just an animation.

But what I was asking is, uhmm, for example if you get 10 tiles to uncover, you get 0.1 chance (out of 1) or 10% chance to obtain any reward, right? Under every tile would be a fixed reward. That would be a game based on luck.

Second scenario is when you have different chances for all the rewards, like 20% chance for daily special, 20% for the calendar key and 7,5% for the others and in that case under the tiles there is not a fixed reward and you can theoretically click on any present because in the end you get the same reward. That is a random mechanic, but there is also a bit of luck in it (when the chances are calculated). But it isn't just luck. Also I think this is harder to be implemented cause the chances need to be recalculated after any round or something (I'm really not sure) and I doubt this is the right one. But if I think a little more, that's exactly how the summer event mechanic worked.

So if the second scenario is the right one, I would like to know the chances.
@MooingCat do you have any info? @Juber ?

You see every possible reward before shuffling. All of them have the same chances.

You don't get doubloons from the daily quest, you get a piece of a key. And the incidents aren't giving doubloons

 

[crabbyoldman]

You are only getting 20 doubloons a day from the quests, you can't open 4 slots without spending diamonds

 

[CrashBoom]

You don't get doubloons from the daily quest, you get a piece of a key. And the incidents aren't giving doubloons

and for that reason you only need to play 2/3 of the days (or less) the board

and incidents give doubloons. a player in the forum reported he got 2 of them

You are only getting 20 doubloons a day from the quests, you can't open 4 slots without spending diamonds

no you get 30 on average per day (one rush quest per day on average + 1 daily event quest + 1 free 10 doubloons collect in event window)

and you don't need to play the board every day to complete the calendar (1/3 or more is done by daily challenge)

The presents as such will be available as shown before the shuffle, only their position will change iirc

 

[crabbyoldman]

and for that reason you only need to play 2/3 of the days (or less) the board

and incidents give doubloons. players in the forum reported to get 3 of them


no you get 30 on average per day (one rush quest per day on average + 1 daily event quest + 1 free 10 doubloons collect in event window)

and you don't need to play the board every day to complete the calendar (1/3 or more is done by daily challenge)

there is one quest a day, that's 10 doubloon, plus your free 10 doubloons. That's all you get, quit pretending otherwise

 

[CrashBoom]

there is one quest a day, that's 10 doubloon, plus your free 10 doubloons. That's all you get,

and the 35 quest before the daily quest
ON AVERAGE you get 30+ doubloons per day

if you have spend everything already that is not the fault of the game
and that also doesn't mean that others can't open 4 fields every day they are not using parts (from DC) to get the calendar parts

quit pretending otherwise

quit pretending that you can do only 32 quests during the whole event: one per day

32 days, 67 quests = 2 quest per day

ON AVERAGE: google that if you don't know what that means

 

[Vectus]

So, in my maintown i have 5 governors villas.
If i would like to upgrade all of them, I have to pay 15 euro and also spend massively diamonds. I dont know ^^

But even for the cash players, it is ridicoulous to get all Villas upgraded, without asking for a credit at JP Morgan
Or what should he do here?

Spoiler: Spoiler

As a daily special, the Kit would be really cool but not like this...

 

[CrashBoom]

Or what should he do here?

he will spend his pocket money

 

[crabbyoldman]

The last event, The Anniversary Event, was great, and was a lot of fun. This event is not well thought out and very poorly executed. Pretending otherwise isn't going to fix it.

 

[Vectus]

he will spend his pocket money

Maybe he has to change a Bitcoin into diamonds...

 

[GateKeeper]

I didn't spend any diamonds, I just completed all the rush quests.

and you'll be out of doublooms by day 5 or 6 and back to 2 tries per day afterwards.... the experienced players know this minigame sucked for many years in Winter Event, and now makes the Summer event suck. but go ahead and respond again, keep the trolling

... i smell a FoE employee here if it was your idea at the event planning meeting, then own up to the bad decision lol
