    It is nice that these tasks have higher values, but I'm still not liking the timers on them and still feel like elite is impossible for most of those that have school or a job (or even both!). If you have absolutely nothing to do during the day, sure, you could easily plan to come on every few hours or so to do them, but people with jobs and school can't just say, "Hey teach/boss, I'm gonna real quick go on a game to do some tasks." every set time they're available to do again.

    I totally understand elite cannot be so easy to get that you're barely doing anything, I wouldn't want it that way either, but it at least has to be possible with some hard work for those with a job and/or school without having to sacrifice sleep or anything like that.

    Loving the event so far, just my speed. I have a full time job and work in my offtime on art, but I'm glad Elite Tier is still attainable for me. I want that achievement and those wings something fierce!

    Thank you DV team for all this, really excited to see what the bonus for filling the bar will turn out to be.

    i literally hatched a pet before checking the new summer action :^) i'm hating this so far.

    i'm glad to see a lot of my previous concerns has now been addressed...somewhat. elite tier seems obtainable now without losing sleep or stressing yourself out so much over it. though i wish the scoreboard wasn't taken away and think a toggle would be much better in the long term, i think overall the event will go a lot smoother now with the new tasks and people will be able to rest easier knowing they don't have to constantly be awake for points. i still have some concerns, and wish there was more transparency from the get go about point gain and how the unlockable tasks would give many more points, but i'm much more understanding now that these tasks have been released. please just be more open about these things in the future, and thank you for your hard work!

    What I'm going to say will... probably sound harsh, but please know I'm not directing it at anyone in particular.  I know that it's frustrating to not be able to reach elite due to work or school, but I personally get why the top tier is the way it is.  DV is a game, and depending on how much time you're able and willing to put into it you'll get different rewards.  It's disappointing to not be able to get what you want from a game that one plays for fun, but this is sort of how any game works?  Even if we're not considering other online games but something more "real" like capture the flag if you or your team is unlucky you can "lose" even though you tried.  Only!  There isn't a way to "lose" in DV.  It's a game where much of the challenge and fun is self imposed!  The important part is to enjoy yourself while playing and be comfortable with your result regardless of how long it took you to get there.  If this current event is stressful by all means voice your opinion (the devs are for sure listening to us) but maybe consider that you don't need to do something that bothers you so much.

    I also think it's important to note: I think these items will come back next year.  The item descriptions tell us that they're seasonal to the summer event, not seasonal to the 2020 summer event.  We can contrast this with the premium shop items which give a specific month and year to their limitation.  The only thing that will not come back next year are the achievements which are labeled as 2020.

    90% bar filled! Great job, everybody. ^.^

    Forelle (#2921) Thanks for crunching the numbers! I had faith that there would be a way for a reasonably active individual to make it to Elite all along, but it's nice to see it. ^^

    Loving this event for the most part. I'm terrible at remembering to look at the new tasks before doing anything, so I hatched a pet today without knowing I'd get a load of points for it, but I'm making myself a note. My only complaint is that I've been having glitches that won't let me get credit for quests, so I'm making so many less points a day than I could be. Good event though. Love the prizes.
  • Villager Orca (#13204) 25 Aug 2020, 5:24 pm
    Novel (#836) Huh, you're right! It doesn't say 2020 in the item description like the monthly items (Mothlike, Rosethorn). Thanks for this tip!
  • Villager Nissa (#19541) 25 Aug 2020, 5:48 pm
    I am also frustrated with not getting points for tasks. Having to do some twice. And today, not getting credit for the hatching a pet. Otherwise, this is a fun event.
  • Villager Dreamwocky (#5284) 25 Aug 2020, 10:03 pm
    Yeah like others have said i haven't gotten points for my last couple of tasks I've done :/
  • Villager Dreamwocky (#5284) 26 Aug 2020, 12:05 am
