Dear Sirs:

This is the Winter Event 2021 thread.

if you only need 50 stars per day per key on average you are a very extreme lucky player

So far so good, but we only get like 20 (?) per day, so even "extremely lucky" is extremely fast burnout.

So far so good, but we only get like 20 (?) per day

don't have the numbers for this year

https://forgeofempires.fandom.com/wiki/2020_Winter_Event

total 1540 stars / 32 days = 48 per day

together with a few from incidents and board (+14 star present,+3 from show 2 or +10 from shuffle) you can spend 50 stars per day

This event, and most of them lately, all seem a bit dull. There have always been production quests, but the proportion is clearly greater than last year. That's just tiresome, and certainly not challenging in a strategic, interesting way. YMMV.

While I get most the event building without spending diamonds, I’m increasingly too bored to bother completing events: I just go for a few daily prizes. In general, I’ve stopped playing many parts of FoE that, imho, are not fun. I stopped doing cultural settlements last year, and have ignored the PvP Tower after 6 weeks of mind-numbingly trying it out. Even GBG is getting dreary. For me, FoE has gradually become more a ‘chore’ than a ‘pleasant diversion’.

To be fair, FoE really is free to play; you can get almost everything available without spending any real money. It takes some effort, but it is quite possible to build up a good stash of diamonds just playing 4 levels of GE each week. That is really quite good and fair. Equally, Inno makes a lot of money off players, with profits increasing every year. So, their business model is working, at least for now.

Yet FoE, despite its many positives, is just not offering enough to make me want to invest so much time. So, 2 days ago, I deleted all 3 of my EN cities, which had been my main worlds. That leaves 1 US and 1 Beta city. It was surprisingly easy to let go of 4+ years of work to build up those cities.

I'm stuck on the production quests currently so I don't have access to all the stars yet.

Does your maths need correction now its only 15 daily? LOL

 

[6zeva9]

That would mean up to 1350 Stars from Logins and quests down from 1540 last year.(190 lost so about 42 per day now)
Even more reason for the Calendar to be reduced from 32 to 24 Boxes/Windows like a real Advent Calendar.

 

[hades8840]

Its not possible to do the advent calendar unless you seriously throw diamonds at it with the shuffle its a nitemare trying to use what few stars you do get.. because you can only make 1 key frag per day too from the daily challenge the most missed doors you can cover is 5 so I have now given up on the daily or the calendar and I use the beta server to give me a insight for the live worlds I play ..so isnt looking good

 

[Ironrooster]

After hitting the shuffle 4 times yesterday without getting the key, I too have given up on the calendar.
My current strategy is to collect stars daily and play the event when I like the daily prize. If I hit the daily prize, I'll stop for the day.
My goal is to get a fully upgraded event building. Anything else is a plus, but not something I am really hoping for.

 

[Devilsangel]

So will the train car be in with the car selection kit as a daily, or is there only 1 from getting all the calendar done.

As of yet, the Train Cars Selection kit consists from the previous three options, excluding the new one.
@Juber will the selection kit be changed at some point?

 

[Owl II]

Here's my strategy for the calendar: I don't spend more than 100 stars on a key. If it didn't get, I'll replace it with master key. Оnly one door has been opened with a master key so far. 20-50 stars were enough In other days. A daily challenge helps. But I'm not interested in DS. And the calendar is something like a sport for me

I think that they cannot add it here at the moment or it will appear on the Live server Selection Kits as well.
So it will either be added at the start of December when to Event starts on the Live Servers or some time after the Event is concluded in 2022.

It will not be added to the current selection kits, but there may be new kits available, that include the car in the future.

I think the amount of production quests is too high. This is a lack of inspiration from those in charge and annoyance to most players. I think their number should be decreased as this is getting old now and causes frustration among most players.

 

[Tahrakaiitoo]

I personally don't mind the production quests, but then again I run a 'peaceful' city and dislike fighting, so those are the quests I hate.
What would probably be a good thing is if all 'rush' quests in events will have 3 options to complete.

Do X
or
Do Y
or
Do Z

That way, even if there's a production quest (or other type of quest you hate), at least you'll have 2 more choices.
I know they often already give 2 options, but 3 would make it even more versatile.

I've thought of suggesting that theres story quest lines for particular building upgrades, such as choosing a productions questline's event building boosts productions, a fighting event building requires significant amounts of fights, ext. Have to pay diamonds to get selection kits for a different building.

the change daily special sucks
used it 8 (out of 9 times)

got
3x 6h mass supply rush (today 3rd time)
3x rogue hideout shrink kit
1x rogue hideout
1x tacticians tower

so 75% (6/8) for only 2 things

(and on fall event too: last day today on live: store building changed also to 6h mass supply rush)
