Greetings SoT staff
First of all, thank you for adding the events tab ingame. This is fabulous. Me and my landlubber crew are so happy to not having to tap in and out of the game to check our progress. Lots of love!
Now our discovery of the event tab got overshadowed by the way the soulflame event rewards are communicated and positioned.
- You have to be pirate legend.
- You need to complete several missions spread across four weeks.
- You need to purchase the set once you unlocked it.
Now I'm not here to discuss the decision for gating this behind pirate legend status. Some of these event missions are quite tricky and you may want to prevent a bad experience for new players.
Now, lets talk about that 1 million gold, shall we?
We complete the last piece of the missions this morning and we felt backstabbed. Yes we know that the objective stated "..can purchase this costume..", but there was absolutely no indication of this ridiculous high price tag. We expected it to be 50k, maybe 100k but no more since we already put so much effort into unlocking all objectives. (Yes they already gave the weapon designs but still.)
Maybe we missed something but to our knowledge this is the most expensive item in the game, and it required a fair amount of progress. In addition, there is no indication of how much time we have to purchase this set. Neither was this high price tag mentioned anywhere before committing to the event a month ago.
I'm currently sitting at 300K because I keep spending gold on random items I don't need or even want at Stephen's Spoils. To get to 1.000.000 gold I easily need two or three months.
As a suggestion, either of the following would alleviate the pain and make us feel different about the event.
- It had been clear before starting the event how much the set would cost. (too late now)
- There is an info how much time is left to purchase the set (or no deadline at all).
- The set cost are six digits or less.
Right now we are quite disappointed and demotivated to continue.
Lots of love
