UPDATE šŸŽƒTrick or Treat This Halloween!šŸŽƒ

Hello everyone!

Thank you for all your feedback.

Just jumping in here as I'd like to take a moment to chat about the event with you all, and share some updates. The format of this mini event is something new that we haven't done before. And when we try something new, it doesnā€™t always go the way we would have liked it to.

To share a little more about our intent: we wanted this event to have some cool rewards to work towards for all types of players, with some rewards being more exclusive. For example, our intention with the "Blood Will Spill" and "Blood and Thunder" avatars was for them to be a very lucky drop, which is why the Ultimate Candy Bars are harder to find. We added the Tricky Treat to Candy Bar conversion in the Store because we didn't want players who worked really hard and acquired a ton of Tricky Treats not be able to get the top rewards, just because they didn't get lucky with the Candy Bars.

We understand your experience with this mini event so far has been different, and that's totally valid! We've learned a lot already, and have a bunch of changes in mind if we run something like this again in the future.

For the current Trick or Treat mini event, weā€™re making the following changes to make it a little easier for everyone to get something they like from the event shop:


1. All parties will now have a guaranteed Tricky Treat Drop

2. Base Tricky Treat drops from all parties have been doubled

3. We're extending the event from 8 to 12 days total. The event will now end on Tuesday, Nov 5th at 11am PST

  • We'll also be extending the time you have to exchange your drops in the Store after the event has ended. All shop items will be available until Nov 12 at 11am PST, but this change won't be reflected in-game until Monday.

Thank you all for playing PIMD <3

Thank you for communicating.

I still don't feel the rewards and prizes should be this steep for an event for the community should be this clearly divided.

Paying players have VIP and social boxes and Molly's corner and the largly the leaderboard rewards. Please keep pay to win content to those areas so the rest of the community doesn't feel striken like this on fun new updates.

And thank you for implementing changes to the current event. I hope it math's out to be realistically achievable for more players.

I appreciate the response at least but serious question, why this type of format for a mini event? What was wrong with the tried & true story passes? This is going to cost who knows how much more for basically same type of avatars and stats. At least with story passes you have something to look forward to after each quest, you get rewarded. For this however, you party, party, party and it's almost a slap in the face when you see your rewards compared to cost of what you're going after whether it's the avatars, stats, or furniture. I'm totally all for trying new things but I think you should take your players opinions into consideration before making it a definite thing. You give us surveys, we take the time to do them and really put thought into what we want to see. Give us the same courtesy by listening to us and putting in effort to make it right. The increased drops are definitely a start but so many of us have spent dozens of bentos on flashes, EC parties. And then hundreds of bentos to get one avatar. I mean all of this respectfully, I'm just frustrated and feel less and less excited to hop on the game every day. Thank you again for the response, ATA šŸ’œ

I can ask why not a story pass u need 215 invite party's with 8x boost to get avi that why not story pass
 
Still 286 parties. If you hit party with a x2 booster EVERY party. If every party is 22 inv party giving minimum 7+14. 858 parties without booster( once again only accounting for inv parties. For ONE candy bar (6k candies). That is still extremely ridiculous.
If it was 200-300 or so parties for enough for the avi I could see it but you are expecting people to not only hit 500+ invite parties but spend ec on minimum the x2 booster.
You were not expecting backlash making something that is unattainable to most? No one wants to spend hundreds of ec right before bf. No one wants to spend all their dns AND bentos on 3 or 7 drops a party. No one wants to spend 26 hours a day on pimd to hit parties to get enough for one candy bar or one furni piece. Keep in mind this is not accounting for the even smaller drops from any other party that isnā€™t invites.
Iā€™m sure people appreciate the effort but itā€™s not enough to make it even remotely fair. It should be challenging, sure, but it should not be unattainable for people who canā€™t spend or donā€™t spend a lot.
Sorry for the novel but geez Louise ata

pimd is a business at the end of the day, I get that and Iā€™m not against you guys making money. This is just slimy though.

ā€œThe format of this mini event is something new that we haven't done before. And when we try something new, it doesnā€™t always go the way we would have liked it to.ā€

= The same excuse thatā€™s used every time thereā€™s backlash to a very poorly thought out ā€œeventā€.

ā€œwhich is why the Ultimate Candy Bars are harder to find.ā€

The candy bars are not harder to find lol, letā€™s be for real and speak plainly, theyā€™re harder to afford. Whatā€™s hard to find is a well thought out, engaging and fun event that sees players work toward a goal that is reasonable.

You guys have to make money, thereā€™s just much better ways to do that while creating fun events/rewards for the community.

2x of šŸ’© drops is still crap drops. What ya'll don't understand is spenders DONT want to work so hard. If you are putting something behind paywall make it so someone who is willing to spend money is feeling happy spending it, it shouldn't feel like a chore.
10x the base drops and increase the drop rate percentage of candy bar from ec parties and you will have everyone flocking to ec clubs and spending their ec.
