I think it'll be a coin flip but only for this event. Much like Halloween was
I certainly hope you mean only on beta. This doesn't seem like the sort of thing that should be getting A/B tested on the live servers.

While a package discount would make sense, I think it's also a possibility that the gold upgrade would remain $10 even if the silver is purchased by itself first.
I don't think so. These were the datamined texts:

Specifically the first one, it refers to the bundle as a discounted rate, which definitely leans towards the $25 being a $5 "discount" of rewards

This is the sort of thing that was A/B tested on live servers previously (specifically whether the pass should be for diamonds or $ was A/B tested on live for an event). So it's possible.

Ohhhh I get it now, I misread. I thought we were talking about some players only having one pass available while others had two. My mistake!

we already have 5 BP packages in inventory (from halloween event)

and now the main building on golden level produce 2 BP, 4 BP or 6 BP

so just wondering:
will that be 3 different inventory items (what I expect)
or (how I would have done it): only one inventory item of 2 BP and giving 1, 2 or 3 of them

:rolleyes:
I'm confused.. what GB do\would we ever need more BP's for? Anything that's useful will be built and as you contribute, you get BP's.... How long did it take to propagate AI Core BP's throughout the land.. mere days..

1) If you're a more casual player on that world you might not get very many spots in threads.

2) If you want to build a GB that's not so popular amongst your circle, you may want an alternate source of prints.

Look at that monetization! I'm guessing this event style hasn't prompted a lot of spending in the past, so they're going the route of expanding the event pass system. Anyway, I'll leave my hot take here and say I'm actually not a fan of buildings producing FP packs. That's something I didn't know I didn't want until I saw it being introduced here. The game's been moving away from FP packages for years now (I believe GB rewards are the only thing left that provides them), which I assume was done for a reason.

Quest rewards prior to Mars still provide them

My assumption has always been the removal of FP packs is to get players to invest in great buildings / tech more. If you have everything in packs then you have no immediate urgency to spend FP.

Yes, before anyone says it, I‘m sure we would all love to believe it wouldn’t reduce our spending habits on Great Buildings. But I bet it’s going to have a greater psychological tendency to sit on the packs without spending them than it is the other way around, the same as whenever someone puts off a non-essential task to “tomorrow“

Why are they being reintroduced?

Maybe they’ve decided there’s enough loose FP income in the game that they can introduce packages again? Every now and then I have seen (newer) players say they want FP packs instead of in-the-bar, usually on the basis of they want to hoard hundreds if not thousands of FPs before they take positions on Great Buildings

Given that my current "main" already has close to 250k in FP packs sitting around because it's work to spend them, I can guarantee it'll be a loooong time before extra FP packs added to my stockpile become of note - where FP added to my bar is something I'm forced to spend within 24 hrs when I have to collect again.

But in terms of valuation I'd treat them the same - presuming that they're being saved for that day when there's an objective that I actually care enough about to drain my stockpile. And a certain amount of my stockpile does get spent for convenience - just not as fast as it grows usually ;)

But yea, there's some newer players that will be excited by a building that builds their bank without having to filter it through donations. So it's an interesting quirk for the building that might make it a favorite for some.

One note on this is I assume the "FP boost" from Forgotten Temple does not affect the number or type of packs created. So perhaps by providing some of the FP in this form, they intend to use it as a way to slow down the value of that.

yeah thought the same thing... if it's between diamonds / cash that's fine even though I would much prefer getting the diamond option.

it will start in the browser and in the app at the same time, at the usual event time at 10:30 GT0 (I think, but only the developers know this)
