Good afternoon to all the five villages! Please excuse my tardiness, these old bones ache a lot in the morning so it's hard to get moving. But despite that, dears, let me introduce myself to the rest of you. My name is Polaria, and I'm the mayor of Tigereye Peak. On behalf of my village and all its residents, we're excited to share the Snow Festival with you!
Around this time of year, the snow fairies come out of hiding play with the residents of Tigereye Peak. We've encouraged them to travel far and wide across Furvilla, so you'll be able to encounter them too! Each fairy has a special ability that'll bring a boon to your villagers. The abilities vary from giving you a cute holiday item to improving your village someway. If you're curious, they're easily viewable here.
If you didn't know, it was a Frozen Leaf Fairy that led the founder of Tigereye Peak to the mountain where we all reside. In the cold of the night, Samuel and his exploration party were ready to give up. But then there was a beautiful golden light, and Samuel followed it to the caves and mountain crags where we live now. Because of this, you often see Snow Festival trees topped with a golden tiger -- a tiger, because Samuel was a tiger, and golden, because of the Frozen Leaf Fairy's beautiful glow.
Fairies will befriend you while you explore or battle monsters. You'll encounter them easily at first, but as you collect a lot of fairies, they will slowly become more rare to encounter. But never fear, dears, this resets at the top of each day, so you can start finding fairies easier again at the beginning of the next day.
We have a lot of simply wonderful holiday furniture that you can obtain from one of the fairies. One tradition we have here in Tigereye Peak is to fill our homes with Snow Festival decorations, and we've made it into a bit of a contest. If you'd like to participate in the contest, decorate your home with Snow Festival items, and then post your home here in this thread. There are some cute little prizes for the participants! (Speaking of furniture, did you know a darling named Darkmoon Dancer is the one crafting all this furniture? She's so talented! What a dear!)
Even our villagers are getting into the spirit of the holiday. Why don't you try putting on the Fluffy Costume if you're a Gembound, Wickerbeast, Dutch Angel Dragon, Deer, Big Cat, or Snuffle? I'd love if you could bundle in something warm, because you know I worry about all of you, right? Now that the snow's drifting from Tigereye Peak, it must be so cold in those other villages... I know Olde Foxbury and Quetzal Palace are used to the cold weather, but I worry so much for you folks in Oceandome and Dragonsmaw Manor! The weather's usually so temperate down there...
There are a lot of cute outfits that our village is producing too, which you can dress yourself in when you're blessed by a Magic Plush. One of the fairies will give you one of those Magic Plushes if you ask it nicely enough! Darlings, please bear in mind these Snow Festival colors will be available only during this year's event, then will retire.
Since the snow is drifting down into the other villages, perhaps you'd like to make a new friend? Our Snowbunny and Snowfox population has simply exploded now that the Festival has come! We'd like to invite you to take one of each with you. Simply click on them to do so! During the festival, these snow critters breed quite fast, with cool-downs of one day. However, when the Festival is over, they will no longer be breedable. Please keep that in mind! If you're searching for the rarer colors of these pets, please be sure to breed them out during the fourteen days of the festival.
Last, we'd love to see how you decide to dress up for the festival! Therefore, we're having another contest, where you can show us your beautiful look, dears. Submit a Paintie to the contest that's themed with the Snow Festival to participate, and I might be congratulating you as one of the best dressed in the Snow Festival! Come participate here!
All of us here at Tigereye Peak hope you enjoy the Snow Festival!
Information Recap:
All items retire on December 29th. Plushes and Furniture items will not be re-released.
Mini-Pets have a 1 Day Cooldown until 12:00 PM on December 29th, in which they become unbreedable and retired.
Fairies are obtained from the Explore and Warrior features, and begin with a 20% drop rate, decreasing by 1% with every fairy found to a 1% drop rate. This resets at the beginning of the next day. Fairies will drop until December 29th.
Contests (house and Paintie) end December 29th.
The current site theme will become an option for use after the Snow Festival as the game goes back to default layout.
I'm disappointed that the event has broken the site and there still isn't even a formal announcement or log acknowledging that you know the site is down, are trying to fix it, and plan to extend the event to cover any missed days.
Question!! :0
Will plushes and/or fairies we have left over after the festival be useable at a later date or just sorta become void ((if that makes sense? I'm tired oops it's late I really shouldn't be awake now hAH)) - my biggest concern right now is about the plushes because I really want a couple of the special colors, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford the houses and spaces I'll need before the festival ends, so would I be able to save the plushes and use them at a later date or do they have to be used before the festival is over?
there's so much new art and cute stuff omg. despite the lag i think this is a great first event! i do want to know what will happen to unused fairies on the 29th tho, their art is so cute i want to collect one of each for my gallery
Welp! I lost my fairy mini-pet to lag... Tried to open it, got an error, fairy is gone and I have no new pets.
So we are expected to breed a super rare in 2 weeks or we are screwed and no percent raise on these pets, nice. Plus hunting for a pair will be grand...
Do we know if faeries poof after the 29th or if we save them up can we use them after the event ends?
I love the new items and the plushies and pets, but the site's so slow XD
Synn
They will stay.
Xalix
Plushies come from the candy cane fairies.
the bugs... the lag D:
how do you get plushies? I'm a bit confused on this one XD
anyway, cant wait to get my "snow festival" on!
The new costumes are cute from what I can tell from concept art (because they're not currently working in the costume museum) and I'm really pleased with the new plushies and limited colors! Super cute and I hope to collect a few of each if I can.
However;
The lag is horrible. Your site has been having enough lag without the event going on to begin with that perhaps this wasn't a properly timed concept. I'm going to join in with everyone else here in saying that I can't get anything done - and I don't just mean trying to explore or battle. I've been having a really hard time just opening up a forum thread to read a post, or to PM someone back. All of which is just as equally important to me as the event itself, so my irritation isn't just for the event but the whole site.
The minipets are a little... insane. With how rare the breeding chances are the way you've limited these pets is really not going to work out the way you think it will. I agree that perhaps just limiting their breeding times to this event each year, or only during the three winter months (Dec/Jan/Feb.) with a more typical cool-down would work better (five days, maybe? Or three.). As it is I don't have any belief that I'm going to end up getting anything besides commons through the event.
