POST-EVENT MAINTENANCE TIME
- There will be a short 15-30 minute planned maintenance downtime at 12:30AM DVT tonight, where we will be unlocking the new event quest for everyone, as well as removing all Shimmering Embers.
ADDITIONAL POST-EVENT INFO
- The event quest, "Lilia & Fantasia's Summer Festival" will be available to begin by speaking to Lilia until the end of September! After which it will seasonally return next year.
- If you weren't able to participate as much as you would've liked this summer, don't worry! The seasonal nature of this event means that it and all of its associated prize items will return again.
- We'll be adding onto seasonal events every time they come around each year, so stay tuned for what new things may lie in store for next summer!
- We'd also like to thank everyone for the feedback provided surrounding the event, and will be striving to improve for next year!
NOTICE: It appears that the unlocked overtime rewards have not processed yet, our main backend developer is working on this and these rewards should be distributed to everyone soon!
Comments
I hope there's an alchemy version of these event rewards. That'll give everything reason to return and participate in the event!
Top 20 highest averaged (with rounding) 42,731 points each, which over 15 days, means an average of 2,849 points a day.
With user id's just reaching the 48,000's (based on intro forum), about 14.5% of site accounts participated in the event (not necessarily people, since some may have multiple accounts). When you consider how completing one task and submitting it in the event was enough to qualify as a participant, this likely reflects the max percent of accounts actively used; a user could have spent one day on Dappervolk, decided it wasn't for them, but would still be considered a participant if they submitted a task.
Now, for critique (all personal opinion):
First and foremost, please improve communication on this site with your user base; using offsite means, such as discord, does not count when a chunk of users do not ever go on discord. Dappervolk is still a new site and can't afford to develop negative reputations, such as uncommunicative staff, if it hopes to continue to grow and bring back inactive users.
Next time this type of event is held, please make the tasks known (even if not yet available) from the get-go so people can plan accordingly and not panic or begin unhealthy habits (such as minimal sleep) in fear of not making a certain tier. Maybe experiment further on the time lock versus daily amount for tasks, depending on how accessible you want tiers to be.
As someone who didn't make elite, I appreciate knowing that the summer items (wings in particular) will return next year along with new items. Since there are already monthly limited items, having event items return with new sets (and allowing choices so old players still can get something new) seems fair. However, reading the comments, I recognize how some players who went beyond to ensure they reach elite are unhappy about the items returning; as a result I wonder how different the elite percentage might have been had it been announced from the start that the items would return. I suspect a lot of the upset coming from some of those who made elite stems from the emotional turmoil they went through for the first week, and what life changes they may have had to make out of a now-or-never mindset for the items, rather than the actual idea of not limiting the items to this year alone.
Finally, thank you for the work you guys do. <3 Please continue to create a variety of events so that players of all play styles (from casual to hardcore) can find events they can partake in comfortably and enjoy.
For me, the site knocked this one out of the park on their very first event. Sure they'll learn what did and didn't work, given all the feedback, and continue to improve. Extra excited to see what will pop up in the future!
