April Event


rabbithunt.jpg

It's April, and rabbits and hares are breeding like crazy! Looks like we have a fluffy plague on our hands, and we've heard that they like to carve weird things into Ostrich Eggs with their ever-growing teeth. With this April Event, you mighty lions need to catch as many Fluffballs as possible, and collect those Carved Easter Eggs. There are two areas to unlock - one calls for your Bunny Catching skills, and the other calls for your good heart.

All eggs you collect will be useful to buy fancy stuff for yourself, but... You can donate collected eggs towards public good and see what else you can unlock!

Remember that the April event starts on April 1st at 00:00 am LDTime and ends on April 30th at 11:59 pm LDTime! All currency you have left over will carry onto next year!

Important Changes
We are trialling a new method of opening certain event tiers. Some bars, like the Ostrich Eggs bar, require the personal sacrifice of items which some members are understandably less likely to participate in - yet still want to reap the rewards of having the shop open. This leaves a slightly skewed pressure on the members who try to donate as many eggs as possible.

So for April, we are introducing an additional progress bar which is personal donation. If you reach your personal donation threshold for each tier, you will be granted access to the egg den features when the main event bar opens. If you do not participate and don't donate any eggs, you will not have access to the Egg Den.
Shop opens regardless and is not affected by this.

We are starting with lower numbers to introduce the feature but will gradually increase over later months while you guys get used to it.

What's It About?
- Collect Carved Easter Eggs for currency OR donate them!
- Work together to unlock special areas, where you can use currency at OR enjoy new features!
- Explore to experience the Fluffball encounters!
- Find Lucky Feet to win Explore battles immediately!
- You can see how many Eggs you have on the sidebar!
- The bars unlock tiers in the Bunny Shop as well as three different features in Egg Den!
- Bunny tunnels should let only females play, as males have their EXP reset when retired into.

BAR 1 Fluffballs Caught
Tier 1 - items to buy
Tier 2 - more items to buy
Tier 3 - more items to buy + Bunny Tunnels

BAR 2 Easter Eggs Donated
Tier 0 - Warming up
Tier 1 - Ostrich Chick play
Tier 2 - NCL markings
Tier 3 - Primordial Spring - de-aging/aging main male by 2 years once per lifetime

BAR 3 Personal Donations
Reaching the threshold for each tier will grant you access to the Egg Den when it opens!

2018 Change:
- Lots of new decors!
- New progression bar!
- New event-exclusive NCL markings:
Bone Bottom
Scoria Siamese
Tangor Inverted Brindle
Tangor Marble
Tangor Undercover

Storyline!
In April of 2017, we decided to shed some light on where the Carved Eggs come from, what the fluffball agenda is, and give a story behind the Primordial Spring. The story will be repeated this year with a few new rewards to keep things exciting for the people who already experienced Wenet last year!

Mysterious Wenet has a banner that appears in the EVENT area. She will invite you to a journey that lets you wear a special mask. Wearing it has pros and cons - while wearing it you won't be able to chase bunnies anymore, and might miss out on special hidden result of chasing fluffballs that is extremely rare!

- Questing is entirely optional. This is something we added on top of the usual event stuff - but it does bring you amazing things, including Egg Yolks and Carved Eggs.
- You can take a quest only once a day, but you can finish it any day.
- Wenet's quests are named, unique, and will log in your User Log so you're aware exactly where you're at in the storyline. They also are pretty roleplayish! :D
- Wenet will tell you what to do and wait for you until you're done with the quest.
- As you give her things, you might notice she likes to look pretty for you as you progress!
- Wearing the Wenet Mask is optional and can be turned off and on on Wenet page. It affects exploring event related encounters only. It will enable certain ones and turn off other ones.
- Rewards she gives include among other things Hare Points. You can spend them on her page.
- Once you complete the Storyline, you can go back every day and complete again some of the past quests in a way to get more Hare Points (other rewards are turned off then). Those quests are randomized and will change every rollover. You cannot abandon a quest.
- Estimated maximum Hare Point count for doing every quest every day of April is 85, including the special quest payout.
- Once Primordial Spring unlocks, Wenet will have an extra special quest for you that you can take no matter if you finished the Storyline or not.

So if we want the Bunny Shop we have to actually donate eggs. Wonderful I preferred spending my eggs on getting things.

So... instead of taking out the part of the event that stresses people out (forcing them to donate the currency they have to spend on items), we're just going to force everyone to do it instead?

That sounds like a not great idea.

At all.

Why not just use the "Fluffballs Caught" progress bar and turning the "Eggs Donated" progress bar into "Eggs Gathered," so that no one has to lose the currency they're using to buy items? That would better suit casual players who won't make much currency in the first place.

My first April event!
And my first chance at Wenet.
"Now go take your egg-soaked face and fuck off!"

Agreed with Finnegan. This "personal donation bar" is pointless and ridiculous to me; I don't care if the Ostrich Play/NCL/Spring open, truth be told - all I want is the Bunny Shop. Like others have said, I also work, so I don't have the time to grind hours and hours on exploring to get extra EE. All of mine were going to purchasing yolks to fund a project in a couple months. If you want to try and force us to open certain parts of an event, why not, as was suggested in a thread, allow us to donate items? Or even SB? Don't force us to use event currency, especially not on a month that a) is so much fun and b) has such great rewards to it.

Seriously, staff team, please, please rethink this.

Ranjit is right, a lot of us can't be here all the time, so that's kind of unfair to players who don't spend their lives on Lioden 8/

Stat monster. Yolks.
They want to control stat monsters. It helps with that



They need to make eggs harder to get if they remive the donating. Period.

This month is already eased than others. Even with the donating part

The event isn't bad, Irish. The event is great.

The currency is easter eggs. You gather easter eggs in explore or can exchange hare points (quest points from Wenet) for them. Easter eggs have a chance to break when you get them in explore, so they're already kind of finicky to get.

Every year, to open the Spring/NCLs/etc, the community has been forced to donate eggs (their event currency) to open those portions of the shop. However, it had been a community-wide effort, not a personal requirement.

Now YOU have to donate a certain amount of your currency to access not only the Spring, etc. but the shops where you buy things with eggs as well.

So instead of changing the stressful part of the event, we'll be forcing everyone to do it, it seems.

What's wrong with the April event? Everyone's ranting about it talking about stuff I never heard of...
Is there something wrong?

Are you familiar with the stat community, Fading? Have you seen the leaderboard lately? Egg yolks, as was said to you on the last page, received a massive nerf last year. They have a high fail chance now and their stat gain has been nerfed, and the amount of hunger they give has been increased, so you can't eat as many per day any more.

Egg yolks were addressed last year.

I think making it only for the spring/NCL will be okay. Because donating was for that part anyways.
I can agree to that.

Except it's not. You have to donate to access the shops too. It says so right on the news post.

Why not open the bar based on how many easter eggs are OBTAINED and completely throw out the donating angle?
