feedback for Winter event 2023

[CENTAUR of SD]

In 2023 Winter Beta Day 31:Winter Wonder Retreat Selection Kit - What is this? What does it provide?
The pic does not look like a lvl 1 Winter Wonderland.
Well - I found it in the "official" Inno announcement -

Capy's Winter Holiday Spa (3x2) negative happy and peeps but lots of positives

Magical Winter Snow Globe (2x3) negative happy and peeps but lots of positives

 

[Athanofthered]

Why do most of the winter buildings have huge happiness hits (Future age):

Snow Globe: -10,530
Holiday Spa: -10,530
Nog Emporium: -10,530

Inno wants us to spend money and diamonds on the events but then they punish us with happiness? My Future age city isn't even enthusiastic so putting these down may hurt a bit.

Aren't people usually happy during Winter / Christmas festivals?

It's most likely a clawblack on happiness so people will spend more money on it in the future.

 

[Darkest.Knight]

I doubt I will ever need to worry about happiness; currently at 706K additional happiness.

The consequence of an "angry" population is a 50% reduction in both coin and supply production. Except for very early era players, coins and supplies should not be a problem. If they do become a problem, the "angry" reduction can be offset by building the LoA (supply boost) and/or the SMB (coin boost). I doubt that there would be a need to spend money to boost happiness.

I said that's probably the reason they did it not that it was going to be effective lol.

The direction Coin production is heading with so many new buildings not have much, or none... , in a year plus... Coins will become a problem again for many players who did not prepare for the losses.. Just sayin'

Yup, they're going to rotate through all the "stuff" we make and take for granted, to test complacent city design, or non-resource hardened game strategies.
The aid brewing issues is again, challenging the core game DNA - this time via the concept (worth) of having a social structure (humans!) inside the game that theoretically cross-share responsibilities to aid/polish to mutual benefit. That has slowed to a crawl, and in some cases - stopped completely.

We should be like chimps that pick nits out of each other's fur - for mutual benefit. However, once people get their 15 nutcrackers - they won't have to..

Not sure if this was purposeful, or if Inno made time travel real...

The advertisements to be allowed to auto aid... Mostly to blame for that.
One hand fails to wash the other, because it was cut off by some idiot bean counter thinking "We can make some money off this by forcing players to watch advertisements".

I'm mildly curious ... A horizontal windmill on top? Why hire talented artists to create something so ugly and ridiculous?

The originals had candles; the heat rising from the candle flames would move the windmill. The functionality is clearer in this one:

Please leave your feedback for the Winter Event below.

Starting out with 40 stars slows things down considerably. Event loads slowly (lately, most events do). Not paying for 'prizes'.

It doesn't take many event buildings with coins to ensure you still get more than enough and some recent ones like the autumn vineyard bucccaners bay and more still give good amt of coins and many players have 10s of Gs of coins at least already built up

Depending on where you are in the game it might be a better idea to go for two Golden Choc's, one if you land in Silver and the other when you get 460 progress. Diamond spending might be necessary to ensure Silver, we'll see after blowing the stack on Epic Winter Day. The Nut's Lvl 1 don't intrigue me atm, but the Lvl 2's do. The only way to get the Level 2 Nut's is to have the golden Choc's afaik. So long term and quality wise two Golden Choc's will produce a Nut Lvl 1 or 2 every 33 days, shorter with the BG.

3 days in a row with no keys on the starting board , the event is a dud.

I get 165 million coins per day and have 63.4 billion, coins will not be a problem.

 

[Ebeondi Asi]

I remember (as a newbie player) bragging to a Guild leader I had 38,000 Coins saved up.
I cherish that silly memory to remind myself what it was like when i started.

I now have between 600G and 810G Coins in my three Worlds (I want to reach a Trillion. )...

That's because the girl is an annoying and deluded liar.

I’m in silver league, at least a dozen sets of chances for calendar key, and it’s only been in ONE set. Same thing being said on FB. Thanks Inno. So generous.

Now I also just noticed we only get 1 or 2 matches, not 3. Why not just call these mini games “We want you to spend diamonds”?

Same here. I've almost finished the 4th round of winter prizes and have not seen a single set of 3 matches.

 

[FooDogDat]

No Keys, No Stars, No Joy. Even down a match, what's with that? What a crap event. Inno Gone Grinch.

 

[Pericles the Lion]

Opening a present earns a match which will then lite up 1 or 2 candles, never 3 this year. In exchange we can collect more than double the amount of stars as last year.
