Summer Event Discussion V.2

like every event, the trade-ins are calculated carefully to ensure there is a good chance for the average user to collect everything by the end of the event. No, you won't have everything already, that's because we're less than halfway through the event. We expect the average user to have less than half of the token pets at this point.

Some people have too many map pieces now, but that's because they have been hunting for way way more hours than we expect the average user to do. Those people should trade their map pieces with other members who haven't completed the map piece trade-in, because the hunt banner mainly contains scarabs now.

The sand-pile takes an hour, but the item(s) you get from it usually equate to approximately one pet reward. That's about the same as collecting map pieces or scarabs, where you add 3 or 4 together to get one pet (20 mins times 3 or 4 is at least an hour). It might feel like it's taking longer, but you also can hunt for the banner at the same time so overall you tend to collect enough parts to get about 1 - 2 pets per hour. If you don't get the exact relic or brick you need, hit the trade boards, other people probably want to swap

Every event we have people stressing and complaining that it's too hard, but by the end of the event people are bored because they have everything. Trust us, we don't design events to be impossible for the average user.

Welcome to the discussion thread for all things related to Avian and Totoro's summer adventure in Egypt!

But what can you expect from this event? Is there something you need to know? Want to talk about what's going on?
This is the place to ask these questions. There will be a list of frequently asked questions placed at the bottom of the thread, so please check if your question is there before asking.


Please remember these rules before you begin...


NO TRADE TALK.
Do not post asking for trades, offering trades, or discussing trades - the trade board is for that. This also includes hinting for trades, e.g. "I need to find someone to trade for this outcome", "No one is accepting my trades for this pet I missed", or "Got two of these, missed this one - off to the swaps thread!".

NO SPAM.
This includes countdowns, double posting, arguments, asking for trades, ranting about anything, or anything else that doesn't contribute to the discussion of the monthly pets.

BE RESPECTFUL.
Remember, everyone is to be treated with respect, including the CS artists and other people in the discussion thread, even if you disagree with their opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and not everyone will like a particular pet/colour/theme/etc.. This is fine, as long as it's expressed respectfully.
Polite criticism examples wrote:The colours clash and are too bright for my taste. The wing position looks kind of awkward. The design is too busy for me - I prefer simpler designs. Not a fan of jewelry on pets. Not my cup of tea. This pet's theme creeps me out. I don't much care for the rat lineart.

Rude criticism examples wrote:BURN IT WITH FIRE! This is so terribly done. This looks stupid - a five-year-old could do better! Ugh, this is ugly and I hate it. MY EYES, THEY BLEED! What was the artist thinking?! This is just sloppy and uncreative. Blech, more rats?


See a problem? REPORT, don't REPLY!
If you think someone has been rude or is spamming, please REPORT it rather than replying to it or getting defensive. Arguments only create spam and hard feelings, and they are not appreciated by the staff (including the 'just be glad we get free pets!' arguments). Also, don't get involved in someone else's argument. If you see people arguing, REPORT, don't reply. Getting involved just makes you part of the problem. Posts that are simply carrying on an argument will likely be deleted as spam.


Questions and Answers


What does the banner look like?
    Image
Where do I get tokens?
    You find tokens by clicking the banner.
Where do I find the banner!?
    The banner can be found at the bottom of site pages randomly once every 20 minutes.
Where can I turn in my tokens!?
The banner is bugged, I didn't get anything!!!!
    99% of the time, what you are experiencing is nothing to do with the programming behind the banner, but rather your internet browser or yourself clicking the banner too much or too quickly in succession. Check your items and pets, you did get something, you just can't be sure what if you clicked more than once and didn't get to see.
Will the token prizes change or be removed during the event?
    In past years, new token prizes were added each day, but as far as we know, nothing will be taken down. This will be ammended if there is any change.
Do all the free items stay there for the whole event?
    In past events, the free items change every day, but they usually come back up eventually.
What if the event ends and I still have tokens to turn in!?
    Relax. After the event ends, the tokens page usually stays around for another few days to a week so everyone has time to turn in those last tokens for prizes :) After that, you keep the tokens as normal items.
Which items are the tokens :(?
    Check out the different hunt pages. They list the tokens on that page. :) Also don't forget there is an 'Event Tokens' section in your items. You can see which items are tokens there.
How long will the event last?
    It's likely to run for about 10 days, but may go longer if we think there wasn't enough time to get everything
Are there going to be more things added tomorrow?
    We've only just started the event; there's plenty still to come.
What is the banner limit?
    The banner limit has not yet been set, in past years it has been capped between 200 and 280.
Will the banner limit be raised?
    This will be determined if necessary later on during the event.
How do I get my pet to tour the desert?
    Your pets will automatically be entered as long as they are wearing the free clothes available from the tourists, or the camera from Archie.

Karsen reached onto the shelf, only to get a handful of spiderwebs!

Oh dear.
As someone with a fear of spiders,
I can honestly tell you,
I'd be freaking out.
