Discussion for Easter Event

I'd find the offer WAY more appealing if they gave us "hiding actions" rather than eggs. Hiding eggs is the fun part of the event, and when people reciprocate the chances are excellent that some of the eggs they leave will be worth more than 1 egg, so it would be more rewarding as well as more fun.

That's a good point - actually doing the hiding is quite fun; just buying some eggs is not so much fun, although I do like getting eggs as a prize in the chests.

@Patepamore - how many have you bought and what have you gotten? I got a wishing well form the gold chest, the gift that keeps on giving.

4 golden chests in total - 2 rogue hideouts, 1 king and 1 shrine

 

[DeletedUser15432]

well, 2 x 5 hiding packages, 3 kings, a wishing well, 2 log cabins and plenty of other stuff

End of day 6 at 1150 of 1860. Received 262 eggs from questline, 125 from bronze chest, spent 445 for prizes and have 258 in the basket. That means I've received 216 eggs from people hiding in my city. Which mean an average of 36 eggs per day from hiding action.

8 days to go which means I can place about 160 eggs, 20/day (no rest for the wicked). And have to place 168 to complete the quest, from which I'll receive 340 eggs. So 8*36 = 288+340+258 = 886. I don't think I can get the Shrine by buying everything. Dumb luck.

PS I made a mistake we've been going for 6 days not 5.

End of day 7 not much change but basket has 315 so I gained 57 eggs. It was a good day.

End of day 8. Was a really good day. Basket has 486, 90 from quest #9 and 81 from eggs received. Got 2 20s. Three prizes away from Shrine. Today I should be able to get my second wishing well. Leaves only Champion's retreat, which I'll probably leave in inventory for some future date. And a reno kit. I'm feeling much better about this event.

End of day 9. 650 of 1860 to go. Was another good day. Basket has 89. Got 3 20s. No 50s yet. Two prizes away from Shrine.

End of day 10. I think this will be the last I'll post on this subject. Basket 239 with 250 still in questline. Was a very very good day. Got my first 50 and 3 20s. I'm confident I will finish the quest and make it to the shrine and it didn't cost me a penny (only 240 hours).

if you buy diamonds you get free eggs.....you can then use some diamonds and buy hiding actions

Yes, I'd forgotten that you can buy hiding actions by clicking on the + here:



And it gives you this menu here:



Thank you for reminding me.

I am cognizant that I can buy hiding actions. What I'm saying is that I think a bunch of free "hiding actions" would be a better (more motivational, more fun, more potentially valuable) bonus for buying diamonds than a bunch of free eggs.

That's true - I think I'd find it more motivational, more fun, etc. I'd just forgotten that it was possible to buy the hiding actions too. However, I also find it more fun to get those as prizes than just buying them.

 

[DeletedUser15432]

The only reason that I can see for buying hiding actions is to complete the quest line, if you time it right, you can complete the quest line with ease without buying additional hiding actions, I will complete the quest line in all 8 worlds in the next 36 hours maximum, and without buying ant additional giding actions at all, but I will only managed to get the shrine on one world unless the eggs start giving greater than singles

... You don't see any reason to bestow eggs on your guildmates and friends to help them get the prizes they want, and/or to reciprocate for eggs received, and/or in hopes of reciprocal eggs to obtain prizes? Okay, I'd say that's your loss! :cool: But some of us see all that as a reason to consider extra hiding actions more appealing than extra eggs.

That's nice. Less easy for some of us who have had quite a lot of days with limited online time and can't login at intervals during the day to get a high number of hiding actions per day. And no, I'm not getting up in the middle of the night or logging in before I take the kids to school - can't exactly forbid them to play online at that time in the morning if I do it.

Not that I'm disappointed - I may just about complete the questline on one world, given a fair wind and a bit more time for the next few days.

 

[DeletedUser15432]

That is not what I said Mink, what I said is that I do not need the extra hiding actions, all my eggs have gone to guild mates, and seeing as I am between 33 and 3 eggs from the quest end, that us 267 to 297 eggs doled out already - therefore I think that the number of eggs distributed is quite ample

I’m wondering what will happen with any Hiding Action Packages you might get after the 23rd when you can no longer hide any eggs. Is it just bad luck, or will you get eggs instead?

As far as we know at the moment, there will not be any changes to the prizes available from the chests. However, 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.

to buy six hiding actions is 120 diamonds and to buy 25 eggs is 125 diamonds so its fair to say 6 hiding actions is worth 25 eggs............perhaps support would exchange at this rate if asked (it seems a pretty fair way of doing things)

 

[DeletedUser100832]

so far during the easter event I got....

-3 kings/queens (I don't need them)
-7 hiding action packages (thanks!)

this is taking the michael

 

[mrbeef]

Remember the first quest form this years event..it gave some eggs AND a hiding action package. I would have much preferred that instead of the portraits of Bunny Elvis etc. we got hiding action packages.

They could have added portraits as a purchase option with eggs (like in last years event)

Just my 2 cents worth.

beefy

Why would anyone buy a portrait?

 

[DeletedUser1081]

Why would anyone buy a portrait?

For the same reason anyone would buy a log cabin in this year's event: Because they reward you for buying stuff you don't want.

Some people might like pretty pictures.
