(sorry if this is in the wrong place or anything!)
maybe it would be better if the eggs breaking mechanic only came into effect once you have a certain amount of eggs? right now even if you have 0 eggs they still break and i think this is really discouraging people from donating them. i feel punishing everybody because a few people are sitting on a huge pile of eggs is really counterintuitive.

if combatting hoarding is the intended goal, perhaps the amount should be set at 100-200 or so?

i'd love to hear any suggestions or adjustments!



This suggestion has 23 supports and 19 NO supports.

it's a "group" event to try and unlock all the tiers together, but a lot of people are saying they don't want to donate just because there's no items for them. so people are getting mad they can't get the donation tier because of hoarders and viola, new feature that barely helps

i think bagel has the right idea about it being more personalised instead of everyone getting mad at eachother over stuff they want, sort of like the new quest shop but with unlockable parts, i'm sure that'll help everyone (and make the exclusive decor even rarer)

the only way the system can be solved right now (if they won't remove it) is 1. don't punish people who are trying to help or 2. move the egg yolk to donation/change the price (unlikely) since we all know what easter's like (;

Moving the Egg Yolks to donation tier would be the worst to happen. You already have to waste hundreds of CEs on them every day due to its high price but now you got to waste even more to get them unlocked.

No, thank you.

it would mean decor wanted on both sides as well as both shops being donated, it's hella easy to get carved eggs now because of the new mask addition (any other year before i definitely would've said no to it)

two accounts + easy eggs and you can get egg yolk as soon as it's unlocked, that'd mean however many tiers of the donation shop being opened so less people complain and there's less stupid side effects like the egg breaking

@Axel

If everyone always wants to get egg yolks then maybe they're too good!

Which i know will be a shame if they got nerfed but if it balances prices/things out...? Maybe! (If nerfed then prices can go back to normal, perhaps.)

Gotta make it all balanced!

Although I've been thinking and wondering, even I thought to myself 'man currency is breaking? Either I best spend them quick (if it's at all age-related) or I best hoard them. I won't and don't, but what I mean to say is I understand that thinking and reasoning. I can understand if this is encouraging hoarding.

Thing is, with Egg Yolks costing a fortune, this would solve nothing. This would make Egg Yolks less desired, actually.
Even with current CE handout, you still would need to pay 200CE a single day, every day. Dont you think it would just be too much to demand from the players?

First, waste hundreds of CEs on unlocking something, and then waste 200 a day MORE to get the item of your desire. No, just no. This would be too much. Maybe of Yolks would cost -say- 5CE, then maybe. But not until they cost so much.

I supported; but it's not because I'm interested in egg yolks. Frankly, I couldn't care less about the egg yolks. I'm just disappointed how everyone's been turned off from donating towards the spring thanks to the egg breaking thing.1

Voluer - egg yolks have a chance to give a good stat buff to your lions

Axel - i didn't hear anyone complaining before the price was raised, if anything it was probably raised to sort out the market (and it's only a small raise anyway)
if you plan on buying that many per day which will be possible with the rabbit mask, of course it's possible to unlock the tier too, the whole point is to get everyone to chip in on this donation bar to unlock the shop in the first place so it won't be just you donating eggs

5ce is ridiculous and would break the market even more than they already tried to fix, i doubt they'd ever lower it that far

I was donating ALL of my eggs until today when I felt like I was just wasting them because of greedy and selfish players not helping with donating

Even with the mask you would never be able to buy 10 a day. With the breaking feature, it got even worse.

And nobody is complaining about the price because they will just hoard more CE, since you can have only 10 a day anyway (20 of it is for 2 lions). This does mean less hoarding. But with the CE breaking, people will hoard even more. With the price raising they may have wanted to help the market but it most certainly made donation motivation so much worse.

And nobody is selfish or greedy here. CE handout is simply low and the Egg Yolks is simply too expensive. That is the deal.

Hi guys!
I just wanted to clarify something for you all, as it seems players feel that the egg breaking was implemented due to players hoarding their Easter Eggs.

This is definitely not the case - we noticed the egg income is just a bit too high while wearing Wenet's mask, so we added in a low chance for eggs to break when coming across them in Explore. It's not to punish people that hoard, or to encourage people to donate; it's only to regulate currency drops!

Ohhh that makes a lot more sense. When I was reading people talk about it in chat, it was implied as though it was implemented to stop EE hoarding.

If you consider how expensive you made the Egg Yolk, the CE drop was just right with the mask.
Besides, this doesnt seem to be a low chance. I had half my CE break.

So I don't care about egg yolks, at all. Not even a tiny bit. I don't plan on buying even a single one, so the price and moving of them won't encourage me to donate (which seems backward logic anyway, but that's a different discussion). I just plan on buying all the flower decors I love then likely donating the rest. ...unless it's like last year and by the time I buy what I want it ends up clear the tier won't open.

But now? With a bunch of the eggs breaking? Nah, maybe not. Because I want to know what this super-rare chance of fluffball chasing will get me, I didn't want to always be wearing Wenet's mask. I wanted to know what I got for chasing fluffballs. My Easter Egg income was already lower than players constantly wearing Wenet's mask. Why do my eggs break too?

Can't the chance at least be adjusted to break when you're wearing the mask only? It seems to have fake? (real? omg are they real?!) bunny eyes on it; they'd be hard to see through and lead to clumsy, half-blinded lions with their big paws dropping eggs easily.
