Just got the survey and I bet my rating of the event doesn’t make sense due to the totally insufficient (or plain wrong?) questions asked afterwards. So, here’s my after-the-event feedback:
+ Reasonable quests. Yes, it was repetitive (mostly asking to gain supplies), but not really disruptive to my city schedule. Reasonable compromise.
+ Very well visible ribbons around the city.
+ The split into basic set of quests and way harder bonus set of quests.
+ For a frequent player it was not hard to finish the basic set. (This probably isn’t true for small and young cities.)
+ !EDIT NEXT DAY! Pet foot among the prizes. That was really sweet, because there’s not enough to be found in crafting.
- No control over reshuffle.
- No control over chances to gain various consolation prices.
- Annoying transformation from hammers to bricks. Like seriously? Was THAT necessary?
Because I like the planning and strategizing in this game, this event felt very off. I do not like this mechanics of pulling prices as there was no actual choice included. For me this event wasn’t fun. It was just there, so I just passed some quests. No real interest ...
Background: I have 3 cities (Constructs, Elementals, Fairies) and I finished the basic quests in all of them, even though I did nothing special for the event - usually fulfilled few quests using the overnight production, often used PoP spells (which I often do anyway) and very rarely used MM. The cities have 7-9 artifacts each, even though I ignored the spawned ribbons around the city - with those I would probably get 9 or at least 8 in each.
