XMAS - the good the bad the ugly

1st of all I want to say a massive thankyou to Andy for putting on a great event. Feedback taken from Halloween I feel and this was a significant improvement!

Just a bit of feedback for event from my point of view

The good -

later stages of the main cave actually challenging now with addition of Ely Mobs
the exp is balanced and even in moon people couldn't just get a lvl in a day or 2 like before
new drops and items (upgrading ely is inspired)

The bad -

quests same every year - suggestion, make letters vari in rarness and then have words to spell out to get stuff (some published, some secrect)
too many people bunched in the top cave, easter needs to be 200+ really

The Ugly -

Private caves drops. At the moment they border on insulting. A few tweaks wouldn't break the game and increase engagement.

90k scrolls should be 900k
Change mythic vessels in "EXP Chests" 1,5,10 mil xp for example
Exp pots should be 100% not 50%
Take all the crap out of that 1 goblin that always drops and replace with quest mats S and M size

Basically you come out of every cave with "something" not just a goblin rune and xs ruby rune

a new idea for them would be a "surprise extra mob" to include: (rough rates as well)

Santa 1:1
rune goblin 1:2
Extra brute 1:10
blue brute 1:20
Grotto Guard 1:50
Red brute 1:100
Red Guard 1:200

Yes red guard would wipe out most players. To Zade's point on the other thread, adds a bit of challenge! no player drops so no harm done. teach wizzies to look after thier pets =p

Too many Ely item upgrades. Need to plan spending better. (Exact same thing happened to me last event. I raised it, nothing changed, so I planned around it this time and have a lot less waste)

This 100000000000000%.

Flooding ely items into the game wasnt the gripe with drops.

Two christmas ago I used to get m a L upgrade quest items.

Used to get 100% pots, toughening oils, 7 day subscriptions, etc.

Now all I got was 90k scrolls.

And flooding the market with ely gear that no one is ever going to be able to upgrade is only going to lock up bdp rdd even more.
 
You and I in a little snowy cave

Buy a bag of gold Cave tokens with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone

Back at base, bugs in the software

Flash the message, "Something's out there!"
Floating in the winter sky
90k Scrolls go by .............

I’ve crafted 4 frozen items costing
160 eyes 80 runes
I’ve crafted 48 Elysian ores costing
192 eyes 288 runes

208 eyes 368 runes
I currently have 1 eye and 146 runes left


Something needs to be done about this or I’m gonna be left with a sour taste in my mouth after this. It’s totally not fair to let this event finish when some of us have event tokens left over that we cannot spend on anything after spending a stupid amount of money to collect them.
 
209 eyes to 514 runes is not really acceptable unless there’s and exchange or something we can spend each token on. I would consider it an actual scam if this event finishes and I have hundreds of unspent runes left
 
Been a few people complaining about the ratios, but what I see is the ratios work out spot on if you only spend them on runes/ores.

Upgrading ely stuff to frozen ely is what is throwing the ratios out, if the cost was changed to align with the same ratios, so instead of 40 eyes 20 runes it became 40 eyes 60 runes, then it would work out correct. But then it would make sense to only have 1 type of thing to collect rather than 2, so this way it's forcing you into a decision.

I think the solution would be to extend the npc to offer something that can be bought with individual eyes and runes, for example

Curse Immunity - 1 eye
Toughening Oil - 2 eyes
Torch - 2 eyes
Finding/Training Elixer - 5 eyes

XS Upgrade items (enchanted crystals, soul prisms, silk balls etc.) - 1 rune each
 
I agree with original post.

90k scrolls doesn't feel great. 900k scrolls a bit better, if going to drop scrolls let it be the best ones, it is xmas after all.

I bet no one buys 50% training potions, so why drop them? Why not drop the 100% ones?
It's not like scorp has stock piled items he needs to get rid off so just throwing them in to get rid. It's like going to a coffee shop and always buying a large coffee but when you get to loyalty stamps you get a free medium coffee... you don't buy medium so why not give a large for free instead...

I think overall the event has been good, enjoyed it. Spent some money, enjoyed the main caves(wish I had more time to play them)
Gg caves been good for exp for my level so done a good few levels. First of all I spent a lot of gg but got some decent rare sellable items so when I sold the rares my gg was around the same. But this last week I've smashed in a lot of gg and got not much back which is considered sellable, although got a nice amount of ely ore and some runes and upgraded an ely belt.

Overall it's been good. Few tweaks next time would be great. Even tho it's saturated the market a lot and stuff has become less valuable it has made it more fun and actually want to spend.

I don't want to shell out 2000gg to buy a rare armour or wep, it's not going to happen. But I would spend 2000gg if I could get a few decent items with it.

I haven't upgraded much of my kit with DC stones or health runes, I'd love to but cost too much. If they dropped a lot more I'd upgrade my kit a lot more. I'd actually spend more money in gg than not.
 
My biggest frustration was santas socks.. went through all that trudge to spell out the letters but couldnt find a single sock, anywhere :confused: Then to top it off, the quest reset once the letters expired.

I got socks but couldn't get any letters
 
I think the number of 90k scrolls people was getting needs to be looked at, spending 30gg to walk out with mc rune and 90k scroll and 2 items was a joke but when its happening every other room its a bigger joke.

I mostly did GG rooms to get a tiger and upgrade items and left empty handed, was very poor.

I literally got a tiger last night on my very last gg cave. Was planning on doing more today until 7pm but when I got home at 1pm the event was closed :(

Didn't do too bad, unlucky you got junk :(
