The intention of this event was to provide a small source of transformation candies to the community. Last years event was too generous with the well baked cookies so the rates were corrected. But too far in the other direction. (and extremely so in the third group of eggs)

 

Based on player feedback the tier three rewards need a much harder re balancing. This is not the only part of the event for iRO and we are launching kRO's event next week and I hope you will at least check out the preview when we post it on Tuesday.

We are currently better of selling egss then buying candies at the moment. It would be good if we can get 5-10 trans candy for tier one, that doesnt sound too greedy right?

That.. is a good template for a future event to draw some of the more common cards out of the market. Turning them into buff based consumables would be ideal.

I have no idea what to say, I just waiting since January until today for those transformation candies, share the candies it to my friend is is a delightful feeling for me, I just feel disappointed because I believe in the next Halloween event Well Baked Cookie, candy, candy cane, etc will be involved in order to get those Trans Candy.

 

My friend letting me borrow her WPH and Alarm mask so I can joint the last year Halloween Event, after a few month since the last year Halloween event ended I got my own WPH, begin to collecting Well baked cookie in hope I can get a lot of transformation candy, but now I got this.

 

WPH it self is an item event reward from Halloween event long long time ago, its a rare eqp and I feel really proud for having it.

 

Last year for those peoples who already had WPH can return their Well baked Cookie to Transform Candy, this year its suppose to be the turn for those peoples who dont have WPH to get their chance to get their WPH, so they can prepare for next year Halloween Event (Transform Candy).

 

The idea is :

•last year Halloween event: Well Baked Cookie for Transform Candies.

•This year Halloween event: WPH for Well backed Cookies.

 

Thank you.

In the past nearly 8 years I've been playing, they've never repeated an event from a previous year that gave god tier rewards.

yeah sure of course they can, but if they do so players will be leaving one by one. seriously tho, usually all online games have a big and festive like events and what ro do? (last year christmas event is plain meh) and now dis?

 

 

ro rely too much on community, do gm even play the game? do they understand how hard it is to acquire tame item and to tame the monster?

 

same with unfrozen set and other shadow gear. do they know to what extend the items they got from kRO can be utilized? do they ever try pvp? do they know the game mechanism? (i do not mean to distract the topic, just want to pointing out that how the developer clueless about the game they developed)

 

i aint even complaining about the prize any moar, if you want to reduce the amount of trans candies in game? sure it can be understood. just have some sense about your game mechanism geez, dis is your game anyway -_-

Just name the candy Transformation Candy 20XX, so people wont think its there again. Or start putting them in random box.

 

I think people are just qq-ing cause there's no other way to replenish their supply without relying on vendors who hoard them.

The consumables are used on a daily basis by the community so probably we should make it an obtainable item on a regular basis. Halloween was a good time to introduce them, but having it repetitively won't make it a standout event. 

 

Maybe new events - whatever events the staff hand in mind

Fixed seasonal events - Trans candy?

 

Or make it party of Nifheim quest so people can go and do it? Even making it a one-off-quest may make it available for people again. 

I think lvl restriction 30 or 45 to do a quest that awards 5-15 candies sounds alright, probably?

I guess I wasn't personally considering that "god tier." But that is one of the few repeated events.

I was thinking of things like the first green ale event, where you could get 30k ales a day. Or the red envelope new years event with instant spawning luck dragons in town. The following years, you were getting like 1/100 of the rewards from the previous year.

I think if people are too excited to do the holiday event, it likely means the rewards are too good, and expect it to never come back again lol.

I have no experience in scripting, IT, or JavaScript or anything related to making a game, but can you add a stand still monster (Pinata) 1 at the middle of Prontera and 1 at the Prontera field (6 oclock direction from Prontera town)?.

 

Lest name this stand still monster Pinata, peoples can hitting and shooting it, and for certain amount of damage this Pinata will spread a lot of transform candies and stuff.

 

Peoples can still hitting it after this Pinata spread its content, there is actually a delay 15-30 minute in order to make this pinata spread its own contain again.

 

Maybe you can add a boss monster every 2 hours in order to make this pinata appear again?, or just make the pinata explode and kill everyone near it before its spread its own content.

ahh yes money....people say we need a zeny sink, but then when the zeny sink is very very steeep like this very bad egg event, people complain it is a fail zeny sink. We will then have discussions again about making zeny sinks and it will just bounce back and forth like it did in the past.

The thing is I think we actually need an economic depression at this rate, much to the chargrin of what it symbolises.

I can hardly call it an event since I don't hoard eggs. Let alone try to catch one.

I'll wait for a quest worth doing

This is not a Zeny sink. A zeny sink destroys existing zeny, don't distribute it between players. This is just an Egg sink, which detroys pets in exchange for a few candies.
