Let it Snow! Winter Wonerland Relic Event! Return to General Discussion

[Texaspete]

So, let me see if I have this right: The ring that was nearly useful got nerfed, but the mechanics that allow for crazy relic event scores not only stay, but those that choose to utilize them get rewarded? Seems like the priorities are mixed up a bit.

Let me see if I got this straight, not only did the ring get nerfed, but they did it the cowardly silent way? Whats wrong with admitting a mistake? Whats wrong with leaving the ring the way it was and say Merry Christmas? Per blue priorities never fail to amaze me.

Thanks devs for another update. How about one day swag costing plat or more opportunity for us to dump money Into pk with cash swag no major event just more chance for us to spend. Maybe raise money for updates. Something to keep the wheels turning

Per blue priorities never fail to amaze me.

Their priorities are not that hard to understand: given limited resources, problems that are easier to fix get addressed readily.

To fix the issue with the ring would have been a simple matter of moving a piece of code from "when snow is collected" to "when snowpile is collected". And let people keep the treasures. That probably took five minutes to fix.

And ironically, it was your post that brought attention to the issue. So if you hadn't mentioned it, we'd all be collecting treasures off trees this Christmas!

But how do you fix and undo the relic event? Prevent people from destroying houses with stockings (like if you place a stocking on trees)? Go thru the entire log file and recalculate relic scores? I'd guess that's a whole day's work....

Not to change the subject but has anyone else had snowballs disappear from their inv? I had over 18k last night and woke up with 2k, thats almost 200k worth of snowballs.

Exactly how does the leader of this event get SIXTEEN MILLION relics within the first week or so? O.O

I've quit at level 10 (10k and a bit) simply because there's no incentive at all anymore once I've got the Grand Ring and the hat.

Well... a player pins 100 stockings on a "friend's" log cabin. That earns him 10k relics with relic potion and full Christmas gear. "Friend" destroys log cabin, thereby returning the stockings and their contents to the player. Repeat as necessary.

Devs have been informed of this process by beta players.

Thanks. I thought it might be something like that. Having to repeat that process 1,600 times to get 16m relics... very saddo... But also against TOC...

Not to mention when they dump those relic points for gold. Just doesn't seem right.

When will stockings on houses be openable by players other than the homeowner? Several around me with long gone homeowners. I leave the houses around as Halloween targets.
