This is a feedback thread for this year’s Fellowship Event!
And yet, there are a number of people who pay real world money to purchase diamonds so they can do this!TBH I cannot believe how dull it is. It's actually turning me off FOE altogether. I only joined a couple months ago so I have never played the St. Patrick's Event. All the instructions are geared towards knowing that event so some of the most basic instructions are missing of you've never played it. I set up a banquet/town or whatever almost 48 hours ago and a carriage runs across the screen. That's it. No indication of any kind of goal or how to "finish" the banquet and move on. I don't see the enjoyment or strategy associated with watching an animated carriage trod back and forth on my screen.
Lol at Rivals..reasons to not bother...at advanced ages few if any have goods buildings yet a quest to produce a 4 hr goods prod given to build the plant takes 15hrs unless a small boost....Rivals is 2 days including some sleep to 'win' things you dont want (as female why a male av?? not transgender yet) Call the event 'The disincentive event to cull established 'players'...' achieved here.

First time player of this event, several days in, it feels like a punishment for something.I think I'm just repeating myself since the very 1st time St Patrick's had this gameplay, but I genuinely hate this monotonous mechanic. So I've decided just to play for a few Escutcheons, which is a much slower pace, I can now take days doing each board.
It does mean I stand no chance of getting the main building and no chance of completing the Alexander as I wont get far enough into the prize line so as a bonus (genuine positive) also means there's no point even attempting rivals for the remaining fragments.
Now reading beta it's clear they've turned allies into some multi level cash cow instead of frags you can use to increase levels steadily. I'm more than fine to ignore them. The mechanics not the one I was expecting. Certainly don't need anymore frags stacking up on the never never. The amount of frags inno have provided on one off situations now and never returned to is shocking.
Now with those decisions and my game plan for the event in place I hardly need to look at it. It's also saved me buying the gold pass as I won't be anywhere near a full event building and nowhere near any sort of decent amount of prizes worth collecting. Less time needed, no time limited issues. saved cash. All round much better.
And yet there are many of us who enjoy this event and the St. Patrick's one.TBH I cannot believe how dull it is. It's actually turning me off FOE altogether.

The very first St Patrick's event was also the very last event, sharing the same mechanic, I'll ever do. I enjoy those event breaks after having a lot of fun with the few events I actually do during a Year. But a lot of players seem to enjoy this kind of event a lot so it all balances out in the end,I think I'm just repeating myself since the very 1st time St Patrick's had this gameplay, but I genuinely hate this monotonous mechanic.

I much prefer this to the god-awful playing card mechanic events.
