Discussion Elvarian Carnival

[Silmaril]

Dear Humans and Elves,

Please use this thread to discuss the upcoming Elvarian Carnival that will start on February 4th.

We're looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Your Elvenar Team

I hear from the beta thread that there's going to be a full quest list. That's good. But are there going to be bonus quests afterwards? Or does it just stop when we finish them all?

As you know things on our beta server are never cast in stone before they reach the live servers. Changes have just been made in there but those changes can also still be changed before we get to see them.

This line from the announcement makes me think there is no bonus quest list.

Once you completed the quest line for this event, you can take your chance at obtaining even more Candy by completing the Mystical Object in Crafting. Each of these Objects has a chance at giving you a significant amount of Candy.

So glad you backed off the random quests. This gets my hopes up for enjoyable events again. Thank you Inno

Disappointed if the endless quests are gone. But since the prize is useless I'm not that bothered.

Hopefully the endless quests will be back when there's a decent prize.

You are welcome to share our event note with all your friends and fellowship!

It is still a little untidy because of the last minute replacement of the entire quest set that they sprung on us a few hours back - but I am working on it.
All the core info (prizes, rotating chests etc.) is there already; just the quests are incomplete (we have up to #35 already)

In case anyone needs them, here are a few easily-shareable graphics I've put together to show which chests are best, depending on what you're aiming for. Info is based on the data and analysis posted on ElvenGems, and assumes nothing has changed since beta. Feel free to share in your fellowships and elsewhere. I hope you guys find this useful.

I am very disappointed to see that there is a limited quest list for this upcoming event. I have been playing daily for nearly 3 years and was so excited when the system for events had changed and allowed for unlimited quests. There is no logic in bringing back limited quests as you get out of the game what you put in and all this has done is upset players like myself who spend a lot of time playing. So I will finish the quest in a few days and then spend the rest of the event twiddling my thumbs..

The speculation over on beta is that the limited questline is just a hotfix to resolve some major balancing issues that have only just become apparent, and is not a feature that will likely appear in future events. With the event going live in only a few days they simply didn't have time to figure out and test a suitable solution to the original questline, so we've got this instead, just so the event can work, even if it's a bit ordinary. That's just speculation though. We have no official word on that.

*edit* To put things in perspective, the original questline on beta was resulting in lots of players finishing it with a mere 4-6 artefacts, meaning they'd never have a chance to get their building to level 10. Not sure if this new questline fixes that, so we'll just have to wait and see.

I will be shattered if we have to go back to BORING events again. I like the unlimited, random quests it makes the game more challenging and fun.

 

[Arusi]

Hope we won't get limited listed quests again, that is really boring... Not to mention many of us got tons of workshops and manufactories out of the inventory and upgraded them, invested time and resources... Hope this won't be for nothing cause no one wants to waste precious teleports for nothing...

 

[Julian]

The best position, I think, would be to have set quests for the first 100 or so, then bonus random ones thereafter.

 

[Timneh]

I like the idea of being able to plan the event again, for me (and others that i know of) that is a big part of the fun in events.

 

[Errandil]

Removal of the unlimited quests is a big disappointment. Chest rewards were already nerfed bad enough and now it got even worse. Maybe if we are not getting unlimited quests we could at least get the old chest contents back?

That is a very reasonable compromise! Plan for the basic questline then have unlimited random quests afterwards.

And agreed with Errandil - if the quests are limited there's no reason to nerf the chests so much.

 

[IronOrchid]

can anyone tell me if we still need levelled up T1 and workshops? or is it shanty town time again?

 

[ANIKHTOS]

For a new player realistic what can i win out from he event? Can i win anything? Or i will be a case i am too weak scenario?

When the random unlimited quests first appeared there was a big discussion here between those who liked fixed quests and those who don't and the solution that was suggested over and over by players to make everyone happy was exactly this: Give us a 100 fixed quest that would grant us 7-9 artefacts and then bring in the harder random quests. It's a win win situation. I still can't understand why Inno hasn't opted for it all this time.

Ofc you can win things. Especially now that we have a fixed quest list so you can prepare for it. (You can check it here). Also while some quest are more difficult for a beginner some are actually easier for you than for players in higher chapters (unlocking techs, scouting...)
