Okay. Next time, put it somewhere more visible, please.
I would be nice to have a defined end of this... it's only 3:30 p.m. in my time zone and I now have eggs that I can't place.
You can still place eggs and trade for prizes up to April 27. You just won't get anymore hiding actions except from a chest.

For me, the exact opposite is happening. I am getting hiding actions every hour but I am not able to spend them because I am not given the option to hide any eggs.
Not really complaining, but I thought I'd mention that those stats are correct if you know how binomial cumulative distribution works. I also thought I'd mention that I also got no rogue camp out of the 7 gold chests I won (though I'm actually happy since I wasn't aiming to get them anyways :p).On the issue of probabilty, I'm not a statistician and I admit that the figures sound high to me. If they are based on solid formula then I am sure you are right; however a 2/3 chance of getting a certain outcome also leaves a 1/3 chance of not getting it, and 91% chance of getting a certain outcome leaves 9% of not getting it. Unfortunately some people will be in the 1/3 chance or 9% chance group.
You forgot another game changer: duplicate BP trading (and the winter event)the only random things in this game are the events: easter, summer event(last year)

Surge is correct - as of midnight CEST 23rd April you can no longer hide eggs in other players cities, that option is no longer available. Though hiding actions are still being given hourly, you will not be able to use them.
Why are they still being given when we can't use them? Can't they find the off switch? :cool:
the only random things in this game are the events: easter, summer event(last year). it's just about luck, some get good items, some bad. i got 1 6 hiding package thing,2 renovation kits, 2 kings, 2 rogue hideouts and 2 shrines.
what about blueprints, they are random too
that's my problem, that it's 'just about luck'. It shouldn't be 'just about luck'.
If you dislike the random aspects of an event, it is possible to ignore the event
(...) hiding action packages can remain in your inventory and potentially be used next Easter to hide eggs then (assuming the event works in the same way).
This may change, but until we get an announcement, it is impossible to say.
Remaining hiding action packages seem to have been converted into forgepoint packages.
But not against any 'reasonable' rate though ;-(
Can't tell exactly since I haven't been paying attention to any forgepoint packages I received.
If you dislike the random aspects of an event, it is possible to ignore the event, but many players like the events and you cannot ask them to forgo their chances of gaining blueprints or items just because the actual one you get is random rather than fixed. I think if everything was predictable and nothing left to chance, the game may lose a lot of its charm.
