HadToRemakeThisThread.SorryGuys

Okay. So. Donations. They need to go. They just cause user discourse and a lot of people do not like them. This issue currently only applies to April, but "We are starting with lower numbers to introduce the feature but will gradually increase over later months while you guys get used to it." from the news post suggests donation tiers will be added to other events.It also suggests that whatever price is asked now, next time it will be more. This is a no-no.

This solution focuses only on April, but can be applied anywhere they might want to add a donation spot. The solution will work as follows:

1. Change the donated bar to a gathered bar
2. Make it so you pay a once per event fee to use the features unlocked in the bar (Example: 75 Eggs to age or deage your male).
3. There is no more user discourse since to get the currency to spend you have to gather.

Some people are fine with the personal goals, but want the sitewide goal to be gone. That is the same as buying the feature. Just stop calling it donations. Remove the sitewide goal (/change it to a gather goal), call it a purchase, and that's all.

So;
- Remove Aprils donation function as explained above
- Don't add donation functions to other events if that was indeed planned.
---> *Some noted that it may not be "donations" added to other events but still personal bars. No. Don't add personal bars either. This feature needs a 100% scrap.



Please don't come up in here if you're just going to call casual players lazy.~

I have 62 eggs, 2 weeks into the event, if I donate I will get NOTHING. I work a LOT. This is really frustrating and to be honest, a personal lock out system??

Who thought this was a good idea?

EA Games? What next, you have to pay real money to participate in events?

Great way to alienate players so they start looking for other games to play.

I'm not really for or against it, but your points are flawed.

1. Change the donated bar to a gathered bar
2. Make it so you pay a once per event fee to use the features unlocked in the bar (Example: 75 Eggs to age or deage your male).
3. There is no more user discourse since to get the currency to spend you have to gather.



1 every event has a bar similar to this, well every multi shop event does. Slap some lions away, flirt with some lion s. Only way to open them is to, sadly, slap or flirt with lions. Now as I was watching these 2 shops, the flirt shop took for ever to open, why? because people got event currency from slapping and didn't get any from flirting.

Why should the people that actively want this shop open be the ones that have to open it when the others just wait and take the rewards? It's 150 eggs, not that hard to get, hell I can get 50 a day without trying, that's logging in in the morning, then the afternoon then before I go to sleep. 3 times, for 10 minutes, you're telling me you see an issue with spending 30 minutes a day to get 50 eggs? When you go to the toilet, instead of staring at the walls, play lioden for 5 minutes, you will see your event currancy grow.

2 you do pay a once per event fee, 50 for tier 1, 50 for tier 2 and 50 for tier 3. You just have to pay to use the tier, not really rocket science to figure out. You can't go from levfel 1 to level 100 without going through 2-99 first.

3 You realize that their will be user discourse over anything at all, oh no the event lion is gay, oh no the lion in the middle of the year does bad things, oh no the base suggestions look unrealistic and I hate the fact my green lion can't breed with a blue one and make a pure yellow one etc etc etc.


Personally I find the fact people are bitching about donating 150 eggs is pathetic, via logging on for just 30 minutes a day, through out the day, you can get the event currency you need. That isn't very hard, hell there are even people that sell event currency, i've stopped collecting the eggs, I prefer getting the rabbits and giving them to players that need food.

Sorry for the long post ^_^ but really, if this is what upsets you, never pick up a news paper or watch the news at all.

Also to those wondering, the primordial springs quest the wenet gives you, is the 11th quest she gives, the main story quests are the first 10. That is it, you can claim her and not do the primordial springs quest.


The Primordial Quest will appear once the Primordial Spring (Tier 3 of the Egg Den) is unlocked, and the main storyline is complete.


Taken from the wiki and I claimed her last year on my side without doing the primordial spring quest.

@Sin
I disagree. I have a terrible time getting eggs even when i explore a lot. To get 50 Eggs would be 3 days worth of me exploring. I might just be unlucky or doing it wrong, but for some people its not that easy.

Are you using the mask and doing all of the egg gathering ones?

With the 30% increase to dropping them you stand a better chance still getting them if you go for the eggs every chance, as you have a 70% chance of getting the egg, it's how I manage 50 a day, that and just go for the eggs, not fighting others. But even without the mask you tend to come across several rabbits and you have like a 25% of getting an egg from them, it's what I have personally noticed anyway.

You should keep the mask on for a few days and do every encounter with eggs, from the last 40 energy I just used I got 15 eggs on my main and 18 on my side. It is all luck really, but if you avoid all the other options and use the energy gaining encounters, you should see an increase in your eggs.

If you are after decor mostly, don't forget all the decor is going to be sold in the TC and branches anyway, you also have the rest of the month to go, another 15 odd days, so you can gain more back. If you can spare 5 minutes every hour, I would suggest using a roasted lamb, you can buy them for under 1 gb or 1000 sb if you keep looking or 6 hare points from the wenet, and that way every 60 minutes you will have a decent amount of energy to explore with. If after 15 energy you don't find any eggs, try switching zones you are in. I have found the first zone seems to have more encounters, but that could just be luck again.

That's the thing though. It's all about luck. Before, with wenet's mask on, I would barely get 25 eggs a day (that's my daily goal) because they broke all the time. So I tried without Wenet's mask on, and I started getting more eggs. Of course, I got bunnies and feet here.

It is just luck for some people. And that luck can ruin those people who can only get on for about 20 minutes a day.

"1 every event has a bar similar to this, well every multi shop event does."

No. This is the only event that makes you give away your event currency for a tier to open. No other event makes you give away event currency to open a tier. You spend your currency in them, or they do not cost currency. They cost event participation. This would make it the same; opening the tier would only cost participation (you would still have to spend your currency for the rewards in it).

"2 you do pay a once per event fee, 50 for tier 1, 50 for tier 2 and 50 for tier 3. You just have to pay to use the tier, not really rocket science to figure out. You can't go from levfel 1 to level 100 without going through 2-99 first."

Again, no. Everyone has to participate/donate for you to be able to use the tier you "opened" with that 37/75/150 eggs. This suggestion would negate the possibility for you to donate and not get to use the tier (which has happened in the past. April 2016).

Bezthiel, are you saying you don't donate food in january? or rawhide in the floods in june?

1. Change the donated bar to a gathered bar

I said "1 every event has a bar similar to this, well every multi shop event does."

So you are saying that that statement is wrong? I didn't say anything about it costing event currency, I said every multi shop event has a donation bar. You seem fixated on event currency whilst replying to me saying changing the name is pointless as other events have it.

2 Again you seem to be off point on something, if you are the only person to donate 150 eggs, then yeah you won't get it, but if you do not donate those eggs, which is a 1 time thing, you can not use it. If you do not donate them, you can not use it, but you do not donate those eggs every single time you use the egg den, you do it just once.


Or is lioden glitched for me and I am using the egg den for free every time whilst others are always paying to use it? Because I am under the impression that you only pay the fee once and you can use the den. If the den isn't unlocked yet, then you can't use it, at all. Your point is invalid sadly, I can't use the flood shop right now can I? Mainly because it isn't open. So why would you mention something as silly as everyone has to donate for you to use it, no I don't have to donate 150 eggs for you to use it, I do it for me to use it when/if it gets open.

Not rocket science really, if the shop isn't open, you can't use it, plain and simple, also you need to pay the small fee to use it, no pay per use, but pay it once to use it.

Food is easier to get and isn't currency used for buying shop items, so comparing the Easter Eggs of this event and Food/Rawhides of others isn't the best comparison to make.
