CURRENT EVENT Tempest in a Teapot šŸ«–

Discussion in 'Events' started by [ATA]Marceline, Sep 16, 2025.

  1. Office clock only dropping 105 drops (max) from invites party
     
  2. Avatars: They’re decent. (Minor detail of the POC masc avatar, unsure if it’s intentional but the buttons are very far into the jacket.) They don’t feel off theme or overdone in any way, they match the storyline high tea party of rich older parents. Speaking of..
    Storyline: Of course JD is a stoneršŸ˜‚ That feels so on brand for him.. Thus far the storyline is alright but barely introduced the theme.
    Misc: Skimming through they feel a lot more unique this time, I like them a lot. The scoop of roses feels new to me and very on brand for this hunt.
    Furniture: I actually love the furniture, minus 2 key details. I dislike the above bed clock and the shelf above plant, you’ve placed wonderfully designed bookshelves and slapped 2 random items in the middle of it instead of something to accent it. The clock feels so very out of place. The above plant blends in enough but it’s unfortunate that the bookshelves had to be covered. I also dislike the random fox, I feel every fall hunt you slap a fox in even if it doesn’t quite fit the room.. A cat could’ve sufficed as the fox feels out of place logically. Otherwise; I absolutely love all of it. Everything feels like you took the time on it, it looks good, it looks cohesive, beautiful, I would want to be in this room for comfort, I love there’s a chair and a fireplace where the bed should be!! I love different types of dorm rooms, this fits that splendidly!
    Overall Hunt: I like this hunt, I feel more motivated this time around. I think you took your time and it paid off. I like that you chose one theme instead of two or more as it feels much fresher. I think you all did an amazing job on this one and should pat yourselves on the back. Thank you, ATA.

    Side Note: I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again; clubs need an adjustment. There are not enough players to fill all the current open clubs and it needs regulation. Raising the price to begin one would be a great starter. Making parties easier; because with how things are going for POTD clubs they’re just barely surviving. Still takes roughly 80-100 members to keep afloat a 24/7 POTD club. No people, no party power. The gap between EC parties are so large that POTD clubs are struggling even further because people want to grow fast and EC clubs give them that. Something’s gotta give because even successful POTD clubs are at their witts end. Please at least look into that. It’s been a snowballing problem for a while now.

  5. Can we have less inv hunts? Absolutely no hate on current hunt, I guess it's different than our usual autumn hunts but PLEASE, not the invites card again. Always the same things are on repeat: invs, shards, luckyboxes, offer series. I'm not a huge fan of PvP but like.. we had PvP hunt last year, could be a great option to go instead.

  7. My comment will focus on the side note. As everything above, I like the comment and nothing to say on it.

    I understand your point of view, but I disagree a bit because we cannot control people. Some clubs just want a club to chat only and don’t mind if their club fail parties. Similar to RP-oriented party. They should have the right to exist.

    As for club struggling, it’s a combination of multiple factors (people online from different time zone, people (president rules , structure; disagreement/ disputes between members or admins). Some tried to merge club, other players prefer a club with B2B POTD for their apts and other POTD club with breaks and it should be okay.

    Recruiting has already been rough as specific months. True more players are feeling better to go to ec club but who are we to stop them? And some new players only know ec club and find difficult to understand what is POTD and for the slow pace less instantaneous feeling. It’s demographic player at this point.

    I explain to new club owners like dozen of them across 5 years how hard it is to start and keep a club running successfully and with taking everything in consideration they still want to try and tests how far they can go. So how can we do more even if we point out all the flaws that can happen. (It’s not easy to handle a POTD club)


    It’s quite hard to discourage someone from spending real money for a new avatar when they haven’t finish a single tutorial quests to see whether they like the game or not. So to discourage someone who wants to start their own club because they feel that their schedule of gaming will fit better in a club they owned….

    True as in I agree POTD club need 80-100 players because people are less spending hours on the game (good for people real life priority; bad for the game). Once some hit like 10mcs they aimed for points club or other objectives as a game player.

    I try to help clubs by going on LB, but I also know some players like to find a ā€œhome clubā€ with less strict rules / requirements and where it would be okay to be inactive for several days and still expect for that club to be successful and never fail a single party . See the logic here…

    And with people who are hibernating to come only on BF, Christmas or Valentine’s Day, it’s a trend for at least 1 year and half.


    My point is that there’s such variety of players and their preferences (veteran, OG, former, returning , retired players, new players for PVP , for party fairies , for RP, chatting? POTD testing focus) that’s it’s hard to change without affecting some grounded habits over time for players.

    PS: I owner Relax and Enjoy in my third days in this game. I hold it for a few years then closed it and hop left to right. I reopened for a year and half then to close it back again. And help to admin a couple times so I am basing my thoughts on what I observed and personal experience.

  8. This is so random, but every time I see this I think of Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed when Shaggy put his head in there and the song Baby Got Back plays šŸ˜‚ I will be singing this to myself when I see it. Hopefully someone knows what I’m taking about.

  11. Would be badass if it was so that when using the dorm & avatar viewer thingy, she sat on one of the chairs from the furni set if you have them both equipped. Would be fun art using existing features :)

  12. So I thought it was bad when we got the same redesigned boxes but this box and last box look SOO MUCH alike.. are you really out of ideas cause I’m sure if you asked there are plenty of suggestions for boxes.

  14. It’s different than good. That’s about it.
     
  15. Second side story is about Foxes. Nice touch, unsure how the community will react to the storyline but the item to collect is cute 🄰

  16. Very random, but the hunt and avis looks so good. How unfortunate I wasn't playing back then. :(
     
  17. If you open PIM-key boxes, I'd be willing to sell you 50:šŸ± (or anyone else reading this). Some of the ones from the monthly theme are in the monthly avi legacy boxes; I'm blanking on which ones specifically but I have three different years of them in my showcase if you want to double check. (I am not selling mine though lol.)
