thanks for the core on RE, JVI will find a good use of it 
But even if you solve the puzzle at the end, only 1 person gets the Advanced Core. And it has already been solved. This is a massive disappointment to everyone else that solves it afterwards.
Not that my opinion matters, but I think everyone that solves it should get an Advanced Core. This has been extremely demotivating.

Ok, i will give honest feedback for the event from my experience.
Usually, when you start an event, there are rules and a clear idea of a prize. Weather is for everyone or just one person, it is made clear from get go. And for some reason, in this event, like the other event i experienced in here with the Halloween one, i fell in the trap of thinking that “everyone” will get the prize at the end of the puzzle. Nowhere was it said “Ok, prize been found, now do it only for the passion not for the prize”.
We are all here to play this game, and in RE, everything about it is brutal. From mat gathering, to the infernal grind for better equipment, is just insane. So when the word of this event with a possible great prize at the end was given, everyone took a break from the grind and focused their energy into this event. Even after, from what i understand someone got the unique prize, nobody bothered to say “Hey, past this point, you do it for the love. The prize is gone”.
And that is where the huge disappointment comes from. Because we beat our head against the wall of this puzzle for many more hours, neglecting the grind that we need to do in favor of it. Because we were chasing the prize, not knowing there was none. We simply did not know we had a choice at that point.

I haven’t seen this many role players upset about an event since the Anniversary…
good 
keep it up guys 
if u experienced it u would understand the frustrations. but i guess sideline cheerleaders will have all the answers…
nope, been there done that with bad events, no point in crying over wasting time with puzzles especially when you can buy the codes [if you have no friends on the server]
not sideline nothing bub, just amused by the fact an added event which far as I see, has stayed the same for years yet still role player cry…
at least you didn’t lose 50k xeno, epic armors and drills, 20k ingots like in the anniversary.
you wasted time doing pve puzzle…
for anniversary we was just rounding up all the pve player and got rich doing next to nothing no exp waste here 
again u know nothing of the struggles many of us went through for this. just poking at other’s misery. all aside from one person now knows how a cat chasing the laser pointer feels. amusing for everyone but the cat. our frustrations are due to an event that was designed for a different universe and needed much more planning to make an enjoyable experience here in RE. mocking our pain does little to nothing helpful here. thx for the input though.
You started an event made for HWS, but on an entirely different cutting board… what did you expect ? 100% rainbows and high fives and happy go go cheers ?
RE is years old, while it’s still being updated by creators it’s nothing at all close to HWS universe
which is partly why I questioned even having the event on RE to begin with… what use would it be?
point is doesn’t matter the scenario, or game mode or base scenario… we’ve seen bad events come and go, and by the sounds of this one… this didn’t even compare to how badly most other events played out…
oh you wasted hours to get a code that gave you only an epic armor ???
you’re ‘greedy’ and should be happy you got to play the event… thats what we were told
why should these new role players get any better treatment ? cause they don’t cause “drama” simply by existing??? hardly the issue here…
“In the end please don’t “waste” your time on our hard work and only do it if you like hardcore puzzles.”
since u can’t seem to get past gameplay style shaming, i will put it in an example u may understand.
1V1 PvP event: main prize is 1million 1v1 battles if u jump through hoops X, Y, & Z.
u spend hours building and testing a ship, jump through all the required hoops, and find out someone else won the prize already once u get to the entrance. oh and btw there is only one prize. sry we forgot to mention it was 1st come 1st serve in the beginning. u were able to enjoy building the ship and jumping through the hoops though right?
many of us were left with false hopes and disappoinment. doesn’t seem like something that promotes a positive experience. those who actually went through the process and provided feedback do not need to be insulted by those who have no clue of the circumstances. but I guess u have to collect ur salt from somewhere so i will stop feeding it to u now 
You really don’t have to ‘dumb it down’ simply because i point out the difference of the 2 types of players. i get it, you worked really hard and put big brain power to figure out the next steps to go, and got C#$%blocked before you even knew what hit you…
we’ve had this happen many times before … so much so that to expect otherwise is either pure ignorance or naivety
also from the looks of this thread , JVI took the reigns and now have an advanced core , proving even further that, in pve or pvp large groups will have a huge advantage over the rest regardless
it was feedback on an event that needs adjusting. ur the one insulting us for participating in a broken event and not providing any positive feedback on anything. just seems u want the last word so i concede to the victor of this pointless discussion and hope those that matter will get the information needed to provide a better experience next time.
every other event was fine and working as intended??? I haven’t seen this happen before ? weird…
I have provided positive feedback if you read…
don’t play a HWS event on a RE server , that would of been a good start, would of avoided most of these issues discussed here…
I get it the main servers are dead in population, but who knows how many would have logged in just for the event , as we all love playing the events, not one has went ‘perfectly’
not much other feedback to be given other than the obvious, host HWS events on… you guessed it, HWS…
all in all the event itself is great fun for those that enjoy the puzzle aspect HWS has to offer. many things need to be adjusted for it to be more enjoyable in RE. the spawned ships are very beautiful but lack storage capacity and flight stability. the loot drops would be better with a token based system of sorts allowing collection then turn in where a cargo hauler would be available. the event last year provided an alien core to everyone that participated and a second one to a lucky individual (or a POI reset camper.) personal lockers seem the best way to combat this.
yeah can we just get admin priv aswell? i hate actually doing work to put loot from point A to B.
great “feedback” as always :-/

I feel I have to respond here.
First of all, I’m very sorry that some are disappointed and yes, Ju and I learned our lesson to improve our communication and level/puzzle design to make it more enjoyable for all.
As little detail I can only say that this Easter Event was the second time we hosted it.
Last year we, especially Ju got very positive feedback. Some players even said, she can make it even more difficult, because they enjoyed the challenge.
So Ju changed the Yondu puzzle a little bit, made it bit more harder cause “wave” is not a first guess for many, the Alien Core got removed because of what I will write below and everything else, stayed the same.
Look in my first post above, my P.S.:
P.S.: Who finds my Easter Egg?
Nobody cared but the easter egg was, that I almost copy pasted the whole Announcement from last year 2020.
So if you followed that track, you would have seen that I wrote 2020 “first come, first serve”.
I mention that because most of veterans played the Easter Event in 2020 already, so it would have been no “surprise” and it was just a time compressed event, hunt for the easter egg loot in Yondus Head.
Yondu’s head for example was a whole Easter Egg in itself (I wrote there is the Adv. Core as reward but I did not write it is in Yondus Head).
It was not even the main attraction of this whole event. The whole Easter Event was about the Eggs, a fun hunt and the puzzles they contained. About thousands of Gold you could farm in the Shoot Me boxes and Eggs. Well, nobody cared about that at all!?! Why I wonder…
If we would have designed the Yondus Head reward in form of personal container, then we would have massive family shared account users, who don’t give a thing about the event in the first place and just straight farm the advanced core non stop (already happened last year). Of course it’s first come, first serve at that point. I thought about a better Dialogue puzzle in the future though. Where everybody can get the loot but must do the puzzle themselves. I am no fan of lock code based puzzles in the first place.
Then the fact that because of busy times we only wanted to host it on RE. But due negative posts I stayed up late and implemented it also for EU and NA. And guess what? The ones who complained the most not even played it on EU/NA anyways! So frustrating.
On top I must read pure toxicity from a dude saying “to expect otherwise is either pure ignorance or naivety” and other shit.
Like wtf why should we invest time anyways in events in the future? It’s not like we intentionally try to fuck up. We really try and hope some appreciate what we do, have fun playing it. Creating Events take days, weeks to prepare.
But then there is this dude who spit us in the face with such a crap. I know it’s the loud minority but it demotivates me nevertheless.
IF we do further events in the future, we will really improve next time, communicate first come, first serve better (I doubt the outcome would be different in this case here though) and we will make secret loot really secret so no expectations will come up. But also respect the time = reward in a better way (but then again, nobody even mentioned all the other loot from the eggs and shoot me Patreon boxes in the event they got).
All I’m saying is that this went horrible bad for all of us.
Miscommunication. Misunderstanding. Disappointment due expectations. Good intentions but bad executed. Hate.
I’m just sad and very sorry.
All is said in the end, will reflect and close it.
