Future-Plans.png

Here are some plans for improvements for future events like this that we've accumulated from hosting this event!
  • We'll be adding more areas to obtain embellishments such as more daily quest rewards, other site mechanics, etc! This way, users will have an easier time getting embellishments and wrapping up more presents for the pool.
  • We'll also be looking into some additional daily reward claims to add to the tree.
  • Mostly after introducing the reroll button near the end of this event and the improvements listed above, we just need to work on balancing improvements for next year!

Our next event is going to be a Spring Event some time in April with revamped co-op style mechanics! We'll be back with other updates in the meantime.

As you take one last look at Soll's Ruins with Astra, you can see a
small twinkling light at one of the stone peaks. It expands into several
blossoms - Pellumi is sending you off with some farewell fireworks.
You wave, hoping he can see as the morning sun slowly meanders
over the horizon, and the Ruins disappear without a trace.

    Bye Pellumi

    This event was amazing! But I'm so tired. Everything feels very stagnant and unfulfilling now. Why are there new seasonal pets, but no new pets in alchemy, nico bonus, or anything? Why wasn't this mentioned at the start of the month? Why can't you gift yourself embellishments? Why is everything based on guessing? Why is the custom queue wait over 9 months long? Why are Vaer quests not being reworked but added onto? Why isn't this information onsite? Why are so many updates not listed anywhere central, yet obviously have thought put behind them? Why do I have to dig through Admin's posts to find news on the site? Why are wishing well items finished but not onsite? Why does staff always take a "wait and see" approach instead of a "this would be cool" approach? Why are the badges for each event rerun not even limited? Why does DV PLAN TO MAKE MORE THAN ONE EVENT FOR EACH DEITY? PLEASE USE THE TEMPLATES YOU'VE MADE TO SPEND TIME ELSEWHERE?? Why are there no retiring items? Why isn't there a lot of easy f2p content? Why aren't dailies fixed? Why is the focus on other things? Why can't dailies be fixed first and everything come next? Why?
    I'm tired. I feel very unsatisfied after this event despite feeling like it was one of the better ones. I'd like clarity- I'd like that roadmap thread. I'd like dailies fixed. I'd like to know where Dappervolk is and where it wants to go.
