Spring Event 2019 - Balancing Changes

[DeletedUser]

Greetings Beta,
We want to take the time to once again thank you for your feedback on the Spring Event. This feedback has proven invaluable in shaping the event for it's live release. As is always the case, we do our best to adjust the balancing of events based on your feedback. In this instance, we've seen a couple of concerns expressed we'd like to address with some rebalancing:

• The origami animals were not "themed" in the way other chests were in previous events. For example, there is no animal who only gives units, or who gives just medals. This will be changed so each animal has a theme.
  • With this in mind, in order for the event overall to remain balanced, we will adjust the chances of getting the Daily Special.
  • This change will take effect from Thursday 7th March on Beta with the daily update.
• There was no way to earn upgrade kits for the Cherry Garden Set from the previous Spring Events. We wanted to give players a chance to get these, so these will be added to the Daily Specials.

We hope you like these changes, and we hope that they will improve the overall event for all players on its live release. Please don't forget to leave us your feedback on these changes in our dedicated rebalancing feedback thread.

Happy Beta Testing!

Greeting Beta,

Thanks again for your feedback on the Spring Event. We wanted to make you aware of one small change we will be making to the event as it draws to a close. Thanks to your feedback, we identified that there was one too many Daily Quests in the quest line. This meant that the Daily Quests ended on the 22nd day of the event, meaning you would only have 10 hours to complete the quest. To counter this, we will convert the final Daily Quest in to a rush quest with Wednesday's (13th) update. You will see two quests become available for you to do, and will have until 10:00 CET on the 14th to complete these two.

What this does mean is, as some of you may have noticed, the end time was increased, so the event ended at 10:00 CET on the 15th, rather than the 14th. This was when it was originally thought that the error with the event was simply that the end date had been set incorrectly. We then adjusted it back to end at 10:00 CET on the 14th, which is the correct end date. We apologise for this confusion.

The last smaller impact of this change is when the event hits our live servers, you will get an avatar in the second to last and last rush quest. This is because originally the avatar was in the final Daily Quest, which has been moved to the rush quests.

Once again, Beta, you prove your feedback is invaluable to us, as it is thanks to you that this will be resolved for the live version of the Spring Event.

We invite you once again to leave any comments in the original rebalancing feedback thread.

Happy Beta Testing!
