I'm trying to make this as objective as possible. Preliminary remark: Chapter Woodelves. 6 fully upgrade Workshops. Prosperity Tower at 7. 4 fully upgraded steel factories plus 3 at Level 16.
1a) "We listened to you and fixed repeating quests" and 1b) "We want to make this even more relaxed and enjoyable"- You did neither.
ad 1a) Of the last 10 quests I had, 8 were either Gain or Produce supplies. I am fairly sure that in the last event people were not complaining about the repeated wording of the quests but about being forced to do the same things over and over again. "Get some bread while you are shopping" and "Buy some bread" is still the same thing. Congratulations, you not only managed to not solve a problem, you reinvented the same problem with the added benefit of mocking players.
ad 1b) Assuming that somebody did the math on your side, I am guessing 180 quests is what you need to upgrade the grand prize to Level 10. Well, thats not going to happen. The ridiculous repetition of both "get supplies" and "get goods" quests makes sure that I can do 5, maybe 6 quests a day - if and only if I come back to the game every 3 hours. During Christmas preparations. Over Christmas. During New Years celebration.
Not going to happen. You are literally asking me to be available for your Event during the most family oriented time of the year. Nah, keep your damn Gingerbread house.
2) "We introduced a new mechanic we are hoping is more fun" - It is not
Seriously, I don't know why you run a beta release and maintain a beta forum if you just ignore the prevalent feedback. Ignoring the fact that making 2KP or a rune shard a "prize" is not much better than a "Ho ho ho.. f.. you" - the shuffle "Prize" is the height of atrocious stupidity. I DO appreciate that somebody with half a brain recognized that relics are just too much of an insult as a prize and they were removed but genuinely: What were people over there thinking?
3) An old but still widely ignored complaint remains: Events are wrecking city progress. Now more than ever. The random quests mean that I am need to refrain from picking up productions because I might need them. Factories are sitting uncollected for a day just to be prepared for that quest that needs goods. KP sits idly, valuable recipes go uncrafted because I have this one 16VV sitting in my MA that may be required just around the corner.
On top of that I am sitting here twiddling my thumbs, waiting for the Event to be over because I am certainly not going to progress to the next chapter in the middle of the Event. Its already difficult to fulfill most quests with my fully upgraded workshops and factories, I'm not going to shoot myself in the knee going into the next chapter where all the requirements increase.
All in all, you can keep dressing a dead horse in different clothes. Its still gonna be dead. Maybe you can at least get your marketing department salivating over the chance to charge anther 80 Euros for 3 Gingerbread artifacts because I'm sure as hell not going to finish mine.
