The thing with getting people hyped, is the false information when giving players something to look forward to, only to postpone it, just like the name-change announcement at 'the end of 2015'. Here it is 5 months in 2016 and it hasn't come out yet. I'm all down for getting players hyped for a new event however I also want the admins to be sure about a new update they want to release without having any setbacks to cause players to have an uproar.

Normally I don't check this thread but lately with the events being the way they are, i'm starting to see wtf is up.

With some personal experience with the making of LUA events, I can understand the difficulties of making them. However, that does not mean I support their event gameplay, I only just acknowledge their hard work.

I think one thing that is making us so frustrated because of repeated 'mistakes' made like cooperation and shaman type maps. Though since they were being produced way before, I would let it slide a little but I hope through this thread's rating event system can help the admin find out what appeals us and work from there.

Just my own opinion but I do know making a backdrop probably takes around 1-4 days and together with gameplay and coding, I think it is really a stressful thing to do to make one every 2 weeks.
I am actually thinking of being a game designer too (inspired by you guys actually) and it has been 3 weeks, trying to think of a gameplay that can amuse players, still no thoughts. Basically for gameplay, I think it at least need more than just a day or two to think through. Repeating it just becomes boring and grindy imo

Also if you really want to instill cooperation into your events, I think Engimas did a very good job in those, if you want to instill some thinking for players (your purpose of shamans) maybe you can experiment on new physics (like surble), or new action (Halloween 2010 flying brooms/ cupid ) or actually the airship event is fine if it was not a teamwork event.

I think is not about how we think the game works but oh need to experiment together with players (a big group) and get some feedback. I know it is busy at your end and this is more of a tertiary priority but I hope my small study on game design helped for now, I can add more into it in future.

Eventually they get monotonous and people just don't have the drive anymore. These 'events' give the illusion that playing these new modes is part of the event. While that's not the case, it makes people feel like they just shouldn't play the game anymore if they're already bored of the same concepts and are then greeted with a difficult event centered on the concepts they hate. I feel like this update to events was more 'if you didn't like the original game, then maybe you should quit! if you don't, then prepare to struggle!'

At the end of the day, Transformice is about a mouse getting cheese and bringing it to the hole. If you're bored of that then options to keep you entertained are limited. It's not like there will never be any special events anymore, but if you get bored with the main concept of the game (and all other minigames and features) then maybe it's a good thing for you to go do other things. I still see plenty of players who log in every single day, after 6 years, and like playing this game in it's simplest form.

Pretty much Easter 2016, but much more difficult and only jumping is affected. Too difficult for title, even with 2 weeks' time and previously earned tickets. Shows a lack of spacing/patience. If you don't like souris-chan (which many people gave up on because of how difficult it'd be to get) and don't like shamming surv, or bc, then you're gone.

It's evidently not impossible to get these titles (as you can see in this thread), however, everyone has always been spoiled with being able to gather rewards very quickly and easily. Every time things get moderately hard people complain about the impossibility of gathering the rewards (which is in a lot of cases not true, you just need to invest time). The thought behind all of this is quite simple: if you want to get all the rewards, you're expected to play the game more. If you don't have the time or don't want to spend all that time, then consequence is that you don't get all the rewards or you'll have to wait until the next time. It's all part of trying to control the exclusivity of certain rewards which the admins are trying to achieve.

Also regarding the cropped badge, your OCD is not the admins' problem. The badge doesn't stand out on your profile in between the other badges, so I am sure you'll get used to it the way it is. There really are bigger things to worry about than this.

About your conversation, I have a solution. Mods should make Transformice Classic version! It could be based on the old version of the game like 2010-2013 I dunno.

you hated all the events shush >->

Love how the admins made these kind of events to bring players back but it's doing the complete opposite as I'm sure you've noticed.

How about,
We don't start bringing up all the crazy-shit ideas you lot have and maybe just go back to 2 month events for each holiday and them maybe, just maybe, will something you do not fail, Atelier.

Problem solved.

Drops microphone.

Or maybe we can let people have the freedom to express their ideas :)

The frog AND the dragon events/adventures weren't that interesting. They were both boring and very easy to complete.
One of the most interesting events that was implemented this year was the Hugging event.

In the hugging event, we had to jump on moving clouds, go on timed rainbows and other things (Even though at the beginning there were bugs, but they were fixed anyway). Maybe they can do an event where there are obstacles and items/things that kill us that we have to avoid (Like the fishing event last year) which would be exciting and not luck-based.

The events they're making these days are Shaman-maps and there's a high chance noob Shamans are the ones who have to help us, or annoying people who kill themselves so that they annoy us/don't bother completing the event or whatever, and boring/poorly-made events.

Maybe they could also remove an event for a week, and that way people who are busy/have jobs/studying don't have to try their best to complete the event and then in that time admins can work on a better, exciting, interesting and well-made event not full of bugs.

Not saying they can't, Just saying I'm not a fan of your ideas.

There's more constructive ways to express that than "crazy shit ideas you lot have."

Me personally, I wish the event system went back to how it was ages ago, when we only had events for certain seasons (Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Fishing), but that's just me. There are ways to make the game exciting without having a constant barrage of events.

That's exactly what I said, totally agree.

I'm not talking the state of "constant events" we were in around 2014/2015 or so. I'm talking how it was in 2011.
