2020 Easter Event: Casual Chat

[Klain]

I just got another token, they changed the limit again.

I was so close to hit it, but decided to take it easy, bc I thought they are adding a new animal egg '3'
I think it's 300 then?

I came to this forum to also see what's going on.

I am really confused. Tomorrow (or technically today in CS time) is Easter yet no update on this being the last day of new pets (usually). It’s really strange for no update. Mods?

i was thinking the same thing. i thought there'd be an update that no new releases will occur and banner hunting will last a few extra days. i guess not though?

In past years we've always been told very clearly when any event will end, so just carry on and keep collecting. No doubt we will get news on the home page about the end of the event, whenever it's due.

Currently in total lockdown and very very thankful for this event right now, it's a source of happiness amid so much awful news around the world. So I'm secretly hoping it might continue longer than usual.

Whatever happens to the event - just wanted to say THANKS CS STAFF & ARTISTS, for all of your hard work, and being consistently brilliant.

So I just realized that the Easter event was a thing yesterday. I've been collecting lots of eggs, but it seems unlikely that I'll be able to get enough for a full set of pets. Any suggestions for which pets I should make sure I get myself and which ones might be easier to trade for later on?

I'm not sure but, I feel like the box pets might be easier to trade for later depending on outcome?

I feel like more people end up with spare outcomes from those than they do with spare single outcome trade-ins.

* This may not be the case, only speculation. Best of luck catching up and completing your Easter collection.

Make sure you adopt the maximum amount for all of the free pets that don't require token trade-ins! Many people (myself included) will be happy to do litter swaps with you if they have doubles of an outcome you didn't get.

If you aren't already, I'd recommend setting a timer for twenty minutes, looking for banners when it goes off, and starting it again once you find one. If you do that starting right now, you'll be able to get a surprising number of eggs before rollover (about 20, if my math is correct).

Many people will be willng to trade you tokens for C$, wishlist pets, missed event outcomes, and a number of other things. I've even seen people successfully trade art commissions for tokens. If you have any of those things at your disposal and you're willing to do so, this can be a great way to get a large amount of tokens in a short period of time.

Personally, I prefer to work on getting the token trade-in "boxes" with unknown outcomes before trading in tokens for known outcomes (the bunnies). You don't have to spend all your tokens trying to get every single outcome from these boxes; I've found success opening just a handful and doing litter swaps with people for the outcomes I'm missing. While this can be difficult to pull off with certain rarer outcomes, it's definitely possible. I save as many tokens as I need to buy all the known bunnies at the end of the event. This way, I can make sure I'm able to get every single outcome by focusing my efforts on the tricky ones earlier on and getting the known ones later.

Starting late does give you a major advantage: the archives. Every possible outcome so far in the event is already listed in the archives, meaning you can easily keep track of which pets you have and which ones you're missing, and put the pets you still need on your wishlist for easier organization. It's certainly much easier than frantically scrolling through swaps/outcomes threads right after rollover, trying to figure out how many outcomes there are and which ones you still need.

Also, (and someone correct me if I'm wrong about this) there's usually an extra day to hunt for tokens even after the last day of new releases in an event, if I'm remembering correctly. After that, there's another day or two to trade in your tokens, I think.

As for which pets to make sure you get, it's really a matter of personal preference. While there's no official rarities for any Easter pets yet, some outcomes are definitely harder to get than others, and will be harder to trade for later on, so you shouldn't trade them away if you're fortunate enough to get them (unless you have doubles, of course, in which case they can give you a major advantage in trading). A certain bunny that I spent three hours trying to get after rollover last night comes to mind...

Sorry for writing such a long response, but hopefully some of my advice will help. Happy hunting!
