Easter Hunt - should we have an "animal egg" hour? Vote now!

Postby Tess » Thu Apr 17, 2014 11:27 am

Hey guys, hope you are enjoying the Easter event so far. I have a simple question for you all:

Should we edit the hunt so that for one hour you can only find animal eggs? After that hour it would go back to normal so you can find normal eggs. Or we could only do it for 20 minutes so everyone can find approximately 1 animal egg each before it goes back to normal

Here are examples of "animal eggs" from this year's hunt:

Please vote in the poll :)

if people vote yes, animal egg hour will probably only run one time (at the same time for everyone), since it will bring enough animal eggs into the trading population that it will help everyone get some even if they weren't online at that hour!

Click here for a countdown to when the hour will probably happen, if we get a lot of positive votes
This is timed for our usual release time, on Saturday midnight GMT (Friday evening/afternoon in the USA)
this is just a clock to show you our suggested release time, no release is set up yet, so this could change depending on how the voting goes

QUESTIONS:

~Minty Wolf~ wrote:ALSO would the banners reset? So if you just found a token a minute before the animal egg hunt thing start would they reset so you can start in that hunt?


ANSWER: we could set it up so that it doesn't count towards your hunt total and timer gets reset when it begins

NepetaLeijon wrote:Idea time:

Maybe have one every 6 hours for one hour so everyone gets a shot so they can be there for that hour? Timezones are a killer.

Also, once they participate in the hour, they shouldn't be allowed to do it again (sorta like the pound)

ANSWER: We will probably only run it one time, because the influx of animal eggs into the trading population will bring down their "rarity" a lot. Even if people aren't online for the animal egg hunt, it will become a lot easier to trade for them anyway, so it should help everyone get some animal eggs. Not everyone is interested in collecting them so there will be a lot traded away after the hour

if we ran it for too many hours, then people will be mad that they're missing regular eggs :)

No, this doesn't mean that the animal eggs will be removed from the Easter egg hunt after the animal egg hour, the hunt would continue as usual

    ████ Would it happen at the same time for everyone, or at a random time for each user? Cause if it happens at the same time, those of us living in the "uncommon" time zones would be missing out quite a bit.

I think it would be cool to have as it might help decrease people cheating and trying to get all the animal eggs.

I think I'm probably in the minority, but I don't really care about animal eggs at all - an hour where all I would find is animal eggs would not be a fun thing for me.

I love the idea, but maybe do it once every few hours for people in different time zones? So they don't miss out?
