Comments
For menial tasks like these, I want to get through them real quick. One two three done, on to the next. As like I said, they don't add any story so I don't need to pay close attention and I can rush through without missing anything at all. If anything, rushing through them makes me happier since I know I've completed the full amount for that day and I don't need to stress myself to remember or try to make time around my regular life to come back on later to finish them.
I also agree that these are really bleeding us dry. Feed a pet twice, give two recipes, etc. One is enough for having 25 sets per day, and this is going on for 14(?) days. That's 350 sets. I know not all of them will be the material-eating ones, but I'm still going to run out of recipes real quick with the rate it's going.
Putting aside all of that though (but I do still hope you guys are hearing us and that all will change), I am really enjoying the event so far! The story has been interesting and I look forward to seeing what happens next. ^-^ I'm really wanting to see what the shop prices are going to be though since I'm worried if I don't do any of the creativity prompts I'll miss out on items, and I don't know if I really have the time to do them this time. I'd also like to know why the shops don't open on the same day as the event start. I know sometimes sites will hold off to gauge how much currency players are earning to then price the items, but one day seems too short for that.
I agree that having the tasks with a time gate doesn't make sense considering there's a cap to the amount of times the tasks can be completed each day; just get rid of the time gate entirely and keep the task limit. I also agree that the amount of item submission tasks is alarming and will likely create problems for most players by the end of the first week (probably before). Some of the items, like food, are easy to resupply and aren't an issue. But other item submission tasks, such as the pens and recipes, are going to lead to players getting stuck (especially newer players). If all the item tasks are kept, at least have a re-roll option, even if that's time gated.
This. I’m a relatively “rich” player, and I can already see my (pretty large TBH) stock of recipes quickly starting to dwindle.
Spinning a chance wheel 3x a round multiple times daily is also going to add up quickly for casual players that don’t have a lot of potatoes stashed up.
This is grindy, this is frustrating, the communication with the staff is non-existent, literally not present. The anniversary (and the events in general) is the time for fun activities, gifts, new features, - not for stressing out about timers, about grind, about GIVING something away at a rate that will break your wallet and possibly the economy of the game. Are you trying to push people out? Because it seems that way, either that or you just won't listen to anything that is not "wow great".
Please listen to us. Please talk to us.
