FGNN: Serpent Update
Posted by Staff on 15 Feb 2017, 9:57 pm
Oh...is this one of my feathers? Oh wait! This is one of the Serpent's feathers?! Oh goodness! The Serpent is losing feathers at a much increased rate! How wonderful for all of you feather collectors! Just remember that in order to get that golden trophy, you're going to need 50 of them. And mind that they are the Serpent's feathers and not mine...poor vain molting bird that I am. Stress you know...trying to keep up with all the events in this event have this poor anchorman losing feathers as well! But I'm sure we'll all enjoy the rest of this event and everything will go smoothly soon, in time for the big Gala!
*Feathers now have a 25% drop rate when you turn in pets to the Serpent.*
Also, all of my fine feathered, furred, or scaled friends, this change comes with another additional stage. The items that you are so eagerly awaiting, they will not be priced until the 21st, and that pricing is going to be determined by the feather ratio. So the more you pluck those feathers from the floor, the more those items are going to cost. Keep that in mind as you continue your feather hunting! I know we're all looking forward to seeing all of you dress your best for the Gala!
I really like the event the pets are so cute, are feathers only to get a trophy? i hope i can buy other things with them too!
And I also I fully agree with Krissim about the serpent eggs, It really feels unfair to everyone who got a single egg, like me for example. I went to do the final hand if for the quest thinking "oh man, I could potentially get up to 3 eggs" And after getting only 1 I honestly felt quite hurt and upset. All I care about in this game is collecting pets and plushies and with the new 'no breeding charges' crap you've been doing lately makes me feel like I'll never be able to finish my collections. I'm about to start work at a new full time job and I fully intended to put money into the site and even buy RW merch, but I now I'm very likely not going to now... I've been here since the beginning of beta and I've never really had any problem with the changes you've implemented. I loved the breeding charges of the store and special pets but you went and and changed the store pets to useless unbreedable trash, like even if you'd lessened the breeding charges to like 2 or 3 and/or just upped the price even more I would have been happy. And with the serpents it's just absolutly ridiculous... a chance of 1-3 eggs is crap especially since they cant breed. Like you could have just given them like a 3 or 6 month cooldown as well as charges or something.
I really just don't know... I loved the aspect of breeding it was fun and when I finally got a pet I'd been working towards I felt so excited. Disconnecting pets from the animal husbandry career was the worst thing you ever could have done, the grab bags should have been for furniture and plushies, I'd have more than happy to throw money into those....
I've loved this game since the beginning but lately all it's been doing is leaving me feel stressed and disappointed. I really don't want to stop playing but most of the fun has really been sucked out of it for me and it makes me now want to continue playing because of the constant disappointment....
fv staff is giving me some trump administration vibes here... only kidding!!! thanks for this fix, but in light of everything it feels like you're putting a bandaid on a broken limb. this festival has been a disaster so far, i hope maybe the gala will make it bounce back by maybe giving us more ways to obtain festival items. i'm not trying to be a dick, i love fv and i don't want it to fail. this game feels like a CHORE these days. :-(
Oh my gosh I noticed some of the pets are holding feathers that is so cute ;u;
Glad you guys bumped the RNG on the feathers (thank the lord you listened to that bit)
But I still have a few huge issues with this event. Namely the Serpent Pot/Ana's quest that you guys never really elaborated on. Hell it took me a forum thread search to figure out that there was a quest during this event. You guys really need to explain more about this event instead of going "hopefully these users will figure things out with no context on what's going on". Buddy a scavenger hunt is only good if you actually drop hints and links. As well as making the items much easier to gain for someone that is trying to do the quest alone because their friends refuse to play this train wreck 'game' with such a huge staff disconnect.
Also 1 more thing. UPGRADE YOUR SERVERS! They can barely even handle 500 users. Flight Rising handles 4 times the amount of users with no problems daily. 500 x 4 = 2000 mind you.
hmm… I can see why you would base the prices on user performance, since this is the first of these events, but I hope it will be based on the median amount of feathers gathered, rather than the average. Usually, for these kinds of events, there are a few people who go SUPER HARD and gather 5 to 10 times the amount of currency than the rest, and that would skew the average pretty badly, seeing how few users the site has. Median would be a lot more accurate.
I had better feather drops at 10%... At the 10% rate with a total of 90 pet turn ins (a total of 450 pets sent) i got 17 feathers I know I was pretty lucky with them as the drop rate averaged out to about a 19% drop chance.
But after doing a re-roll with the new 25% chance, I re-rolled 110 turn ins (a total of 550 pets sent) I got 17 more feathers and that equaled out to a 15% drop rate... I honestly feel really ripped off :/
Can I ask if the serpent will still be around on the 21st?
Very good update and I am so sorry for the behavior you received in the discussion thread. You guys are trying your best, keep up the good work.
Winchester I really do hope that it will be a different trophy.
