Survey ResultsSome of you were interested in seeing the results of the July event survey we published in last week's Community Update, and we're happy to share the feedback we've received!
From the results shown above, we can see that launching without a storyline for July was unfortunate. We have always planned to have one, and it will be coming next year. We have decided to make a small link between the previous storyline and the new one after many of you have expressed that you're sad to see the old characters go. Whilst we won't be seeing the old characters again, there will be something that links them, so 'homage' will be paid. It was absolutely time for the previous July event to be retired. Rewriting the storyline wouldn't have erased how existing players felt about the characters from playing the storyline as it was, and it was just time for it to come to a close. This new event is still based on the existing celestial theme and does fit within the lore of the previous event. There is unfortunately not enough time for us to release the full storyline this year that will better explain things. We think the storyline and coming expansion next year will really tie it all together and make it make sense. We're very sorry it's not ready now. We really appreciate all of the useful feedback so many of you have given and will take this into account to make sure it delivers as well as possible next year! * Per the feedback and survey results, the base, mane colour, and marking applicators are now available to purchase for Axion Cores within the Draco Demiurge Exchange. * We have added in a 'Firefly to Silver Beetle' exchange tool within Tefnut's Memories. If you have Fireflies available on your account, you can exchange them for Silver Beetles at a rate of 1 Firefly to 5 Silver Beetles.

Woulda been nice if they waited to retire the original event until the new one was actually ready rather than releasing a partially finished and lackluster event for the month. 0 players like this post! Like? |

an overwhelming percentage of people liked the old event in some way, but we're still at "It was absolutely time for the previous July event to be retired." kinda feels like we didn't really listen to the feedback here, but thats just my 2 cents. the highest percentage voted was that they liked everything, and the next highest was "i liked everything but the story", giving over 2/3 of people who liked the old event. on one hand, i like that you did the poll, on the other hand... why did you? the feedback is nice and all, but if youre not going to do anything with it other than "well its still retired", why do it? i think the polls should have been done earlier when it was too late to really do anything, and I guess that's where we're at, especially with the "we had to retire it despite the popular vote liking the old event" (see: throwing the baby away with the bathwater when we asked for a storyline change)... so its cool we did the poll, but at least that question right there is kinda getting thrown away. the homage doesn't feel the same to me. all it really did was give confirmation that the event release was a little botched, and that people didnt like the change all that much, and we're still getting the same reassurances. its nice to get and its nice to have transparency, but you ultimately havent changed anything. 0 players like this post!

I am so grateful for all the transparency. I was one that absolutely adored the old event, but I respect the staff's decision to retire it and bring something fresh to the table. There's still plenty of events that don't have storylines yet, so I really don't think staff should have been expected to roll out a brand new event with a complete storyline at the start. They've still introduced a lot. Having to create all those new NPCs couldn't have been easy (and they are GORGEOUS). We still don't have storylines for August, November, December, February, or March yet, right? Shouldn't those get storylines first since they've been around longer? I'm starting the figure out the battles and have beaten a couple of bosses. As long as I have enough AC to try and impress raffle lionesses, I'm cool with not having a ton. I keep thinking I'll win one of those girls. Probably won't, but I can hope. 0 players like this post! Like? |

About the poll results for the old version: there's many reasons you could like the old version and they don't all exclude the new version being satisfactory. I voted that I liked the content but not the storyline. Specifically, what I liked was: 1. The mechanics of the story (branching paths, multiple endings) 2. The Celestial Lioness raffle and the base/marking designs introduced through it 3. The Celestial Stone 4. The overall star/night/sky theming 3/4 of those are still around, and as for the last we'll see if that returns next year with the new storyline. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I'm grateful for the Transparency from staff, and them taking feedback into account. I'm still concerned about the Balance of this event though. It still Feels like the Meterorite shard drops are FAR too low. I can use a full energy bar and only get 5 shards. Battling the new enemies in Celestial explore also still feel ridiculously unbalanced. I've gotten stunlocked by an enemy completely and had enemies hit me for more than 50 damage in one hit. I get that this is something we need to experiment with to find out the best battle strategies, but the low drop rate of shards means that losing a battle (Which for me is more than half the time) Wastes a potential Axion Core and wastes time. I can see a lot of potential for this event to be good, but I feels like it has a ways to go yet. 0 players like this post! Like? |

It would've been nice to convert fireflies into axion cores since they're pretty much the same currency, though axion cores are significantly harder to obtain. But it is what it is. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I like the new update but fighting the celestial explore is hard, I lose way more than when I win and I haven't been able to defeat a boss, is this happening for anyone else or is it just me? Edit: I've also had them where they had no heath in their heath bar but they were still attacking me 0 players like this post! Like?Edited on 16/07/21 @ 18:48:11 by Teonna Katz (#209798) |
