I really enjoy Fairytale in New York and 12 Days of Christmas. But due to my daughter Whamageddon strikes me every year quite early.

Yes @Warrior816 , it's awful quiet.
My 2 cents is that it's more FUN when there are 1-3 matchsticks, vs 2. It really drags being this long an event, and it's like filling a water jug drip by drip for nearly a month.
Yes, I know that slow pace encourages people to spend diamonds to speed things up, and that's what Inno wants. So I guess getting into the right framework of mind once again, that it's OK to not be here because once the event gets rolling, there is really nothing to do with it but collect once a day and save up stars for something good.
Getting 50 stars a day isn't enough to stay engaged - ie, do something each day on a present board that mandatorily resets each day - especially with 50 stars turning into 5 at worst, or 10 at best, matches.
With choices of 1 - 3 matches (vs 1 or 2).... there is more excitement/energy to try to clear the "20" lit tree threshold possibly each day (being very lucky).
So = if that disengagement design for an event is what they really want, we can certainly accommodate them.

From an average of 2 progress/10
to only 1,5 progress/10 on top of supposedly every 2nd board a low chance for a calendar key... to negative happiness w/o outstanding efficiency on other areas for the trade-off, this event has been nerfed into oblivion.
Probs just gonna charge up the and go into at live with whatever mentality. Targeting the epic selection kit any time it appears. I was planning to save up my
for this event but guess I've been really fortunate to let other event opportunities convince me to spend the majority for better returns. Guess if this is any sign for what's to come next year... I'll be targeting daily specials instead of caring for the "grand" prize.

I got 20+10 just from collecting this morning. Still quite far away from the 480 matches that I need to collect for the Ketebo upgrade.

That very quiet point is compelling. We haven't talked about it that much since the beginning of the event. It's a long reach, yes. It's come true (atleast for me as well), that you can't get there on the basis of the event alone - you have to spend something for the extra distance, and the 480 item milestone.
Inno's betting people will NEED the item in LIVE, so why not put it out of reach unless you spend diamonds for it?
Them that has the gold, makes the rules. They're betting the small investment you have to make (a few 1000 diamonds), won't be troublesome to people that NEED to do it to keep their city in top productive form for collection and game yield.

Established Cities it is not a problem in this case most of the production is done by event buildings but imagine you are a new player in Bronze or Iron Age and this is your first event and you decide to splash out cash. These are the figures for Future but bear with me!
If I win 1 X winter Wonderland pyramid I can only plant the Snow Globe if I try to plant Capy's Spa I am out of population and we all know how critical resources are in the early stages
The new player will feel cheated do you think they will continue playing with these type of odds stacked against them
I did a rough calculation how many Winter Pyramids you need, in order to plant one of each of the buildings
Naturally newbies would be discouraged enormously by this new trend. As for established players, only competitive players are hit of happiness drops below 120% cause they're missing out on 20% extra points from battles. While their peers still enjoy 20% extra. It gets worse when the -50% penalty shows up.

I think everyone in this thread got it. You like splash out cash. I saw you multiple pics of your beautiful city. Takes a lot of skill to get all those shiny buildings.
This is no longer true. The happiness boost for fights was removed a while ago. It's always at 120% now. Will try to find when the change was announced...
.. it's mentioned here: https://forum.beta.forgeofempires.com/index.php?threads/forge-of-empires-recap-2022.15954/
So the change has been around for 1 1/2 years
Thnx, it’s a bit data overload. Makes happiness even more irrelevantThis is no longer true. The happiness boost for fights was removed a while ago. It's always at 120% now. Will try to find when the change was announced...

There's still the productivity aspect, collect coin/supply. I mean all is solved by gbg but I still collect 60M coins from my city daily to be leveling my gate gb.

check the board before you start if there is a key
use the shuffle immediatley after you found it with show 2
and don't open all fields

I don't like the change that the game opens the matchbox for you. You could open them yourself before. Where you had in all previous years the possibility to get 1, 2 or 3 matches, now it is only 1 and 2. In all previous years, if you found the right pace, I managed to get over 80 % of all times 3 matches,
I don't call it progress that the game decides for you when to open the box. It's too many '1 match'. So on average much lower amount of rewards.

There was no "right pace" in previous years. The number of matches awarded was random and the number averaged 2 during the event. Players had no control over the number of matches received. This year, it is again random and averages 1.5. The question that this thread has not seemed to answer yet is if 1.5 matches per present is sufficient to get the full event building.
