Sad ,No New Weapons

[Murraya]

Woaaahhh, new gem, new arcane pet, weapon with particles. Looks good. :3

[ArcaneApox]

Decrease price for luck jewel. 300 plat is too much 100 plat is more reasonable.

Decrease token price for firecrackers, you didnt learn from last year , also from 100-1200tokens the range is way too big which doesnt make any sense

[intruders]

Overall looks good, new secret lair is a nice addition! Decent legendary pet Hua

Does it work if Hua is slotted or it has to be base pet when we use its AA for that badge?

Also for 500 envelopes currency chest should not have cracked water jewels, 1 orc tag and other trash items like that. It's been a long due to be updated or their cost lowered.

[intruders]

One more thing about new stone. +7% luck is too little, even if it is maxed out to 35% by stacking 5 stones it doesn't look appealing. Here's why.

Ngl after luck rework without guaranteed next rarity it feels totally useless. If a legendary item is 0.01% chance without guaranteed reroll even 1000% luck will not make any visible difference. Take shattered jewels in dune as an example - people have been complaining about that all the time and the only answer is "verified, it drops". Sure, but the odds are negligible.

[xyv.lol]

Why is embermane so underwhelming? Average HB, damage AA(most damage AA don't do anything significant), weak passive. It's an arcane pet, it's supposed to be this weak? I suggest adding 30% stacking speed in his hb atleast..

[Miguelrebolo]

Make the bosses drop good gold loot, make it profitable with Dunedalil. By the way, is this an energy event? Are there tiers? You didn't mention it.

I really appreciate improved event and the effort you put into it! However, I have some concerns about new items..

Luck jewel
If 100% luck is +1 bonus roll, please consider making 1 luck stone +20% luck. This way, 5 stacking stones give player +100% luck (+1 bonus roll).
Currently, 5 stones give only 35%, which changes nothing if player is anywhere between 0–65% || 100–165% || 200–265%. While having players wait months or years for a +1 bonus roll might be good for devs (dosing us with a solution to a created problem), it is a bad experience for players (long periods without any effect from luck jewels for most of us).

Arcane Horse
I do not find current version interesting. At first, I wanted to suggest an improved H. Moonshade's HB for it, but here is something even better: Improve its passive to be a "better" version of H. Kuai. Since H. Kuai has a 20% chance for +25% Luck & +25% Gold loot (10 sec), this horse should have +35% Luck & Gold loot, making it the best passive for luck/gold farming. That would be a strong selling point for such a good-looking pet.

Legendary Horse
Not much to say here, players without gold can get +75% gold loot for tokens and that is +1. However, what about players who already own +100% Gold loot in their HB pets? Is it time to bring a Heroic Version? If so, this horse could have the +35% Luck & Gold loot passive (making it the best in slot for luck/gold) in case the Arcane Horse remains untouched (only one of them).

Summary: In their current state, I don't need anything from these items. However, with these adjustments, I would suddenly want to get everything from this event. I hope this perspective helps!

[Kakashis]

Really like how things are fire themed! Looking foward to collecting some stuff!

[Gface]

Does the Seekers stone have an aura?

[Rauigriu]

So much to look forward to here.

Quick question: the post says: Standard and Class-Specific Locked Crate of the Fire Horse
Chance to loot Level 91 Mythic equipment.

Does this mean that Blood Gear will no longer be available in locked crates?

[Stein]

While others vanity weapon are shining shimmering splendid, look at that poor stick for mage :v. Cmon, mage deserves better

[Behoove]

Like itīs not the worst event but what exactly would I be farming for, for 2 weeks? A Badge?
Personally all the "good stuff" - jewels, pet, vanities are plat purchases, donīt need a 2 week event for that, might as well open a plat store for that.
First aura looks pretty much like embergate, no comment on second one.

I know you donīt like me complaining, just donīt see a thing for me being worth farming if I am being honest, happy if others enjoy it, not for me. Lastly mage vanity weapons are underwhelming, you have created a design thread, where we could post vanities as recommendations, why donīt you take inspiration from there? Granted the fire effect could be nice but then again, the staff has such a small area of fire compared to the other weapons, while it being the most used weapon (out of orb, gun and staff) by far and its just a thin stick.

Sorry to complain, I appreciate your work, itīs just again underwhelming for me.

[Behoove]

Like I am not a developer, but wouldnīt it be possible to get designs like these? Ofc feel free to delete this post if it goes against your rules
