I looks complicated and overly so...
Why do I have to learn about this when... never mind... (sighs) it's INNO thinking I have infinite time on my hands and want the world re-engineered every time an event comes up.
Just shoot me.

After a few minutes, it's not too bad. It's certainly interesting. Of course, yes, it does take time to hunt through the forest mini-game to *find* the chests and spirits rather than just opening chests.

It might be my Elvenar induced PTSD but I think spending 6,000 event currency on those 50 [snowflake] chests which gave you 90 more [snowflakes] 30% of the time took way longer

Careful with the clicking though, as those "awesome" buttons were just over the medium chest, which you didn't want, so an accidental double click could cost you.It might be my Elvenar induced PTSD but I think spending 6,000 event currency on those 50 [snowflake] chests which gave you 90 more [snowflakes] 30% of the time took way longer

I'll admit that overall, it *is* more time consuming since you really want to think & be careful with your 3 tools, in order to effectively maximise their efficiency.
For example, when using a lantern to light up an entire row, DO NOT! use it on the currently 'open' spot, but rather, see if you can continue right one more block, and *then* use a lantern - doing so means you 'reveal' 3 total rows of forest vs. just 2.
You don't have to, nor should you, try to reveal every single block in the forest. Likewise, don't bother wasting tools to collect an out of the way 'lost item' or even spirt - you'll find plenty more just by moving forwards!
(...not to mention, as every FoE player will no doubt tell you, you'll probably just naturally unlock 2-4+ additional items with the 2-3 tools it would have taken to get that lone out of the way item/spirit.
)Keep an open mind, and give this one an honest go - it's an absolute blast and the mini game is very, very addictive!

And something I was wondering about on the Beta forum may have been dealt with in an unexpected way. I have never understood why Inno programmed the game to allow pop and culture to go negative and now chapter 17 may force players to stop doing that. Or it may just mean more complainers deciding to not advance their city into chapter 17 and beyond.

So anyone that sees no positive value to continue growing their city, by your standards, and to keep from making the tournament even harder based on the new structure that penalizes your growth; is a complainer? hmmm

Even with negative values, your working population and required culture stay the same.
It's not based on how many of these you got "spare"

The same ones they lisened to for the infinite questlines, the freebees
You are correct that only 1% is affected by these changes in a manner that really affects there gameplay.
Are you also aware that 1% of the players is 90% or so of there revenue stream?

Yep. People who stop in a chapter and refuse to advance, regardless of chapter, are not playing the core game. I would never join a fellowship full of these types. It is like people who follow fantasy sports, but don't give a damn which teams actually win.

I stopped at the end of Ch15 in my oldest city months and months ago. Nothing to do with recent changes made. Ch15 was not fun for me. I saw some things I wanted in that chapter, so I slogged through it to get them, but again, it was no fun at all. There is nothing I want in Ch16, so I just stopped before unlocking Adv Scouts for 16 and waited for the Ch17 release and guess what? There's nothing in Ch17 I want either. So, I'm staying where I am and will see what happens with the Ch18 release.
I have fun playing events, the spire and tournaments. I'm still upgrading AW's and participating in the swap threads, but have no need to place more expansions, so I have a couple available that aren't placed yet. I consider myself an asset to my FS there, having had the time and energy to lead them to a 9th place finish in the Aug FA and an 11th place finish in the one that just ended. I try to keep everyone up to date on what's being released and am active in chat. My next project is to figure out the Halloween event structure so I can help explain it to members who have questions. I've not gotten the impression that I'm in danger of being kicked out by the AM there.
The primary reason I play this game at all is to have fun. I consider it a marathon, not a sprint and feel no need to speed through chapter research just because it's there. Eventually, they're bound to release something I want and I'll meander through the chapters I don't like to get there.
My opinion on the release of optional features that provide rewards that help advance your city being based on a formula that punishes that advancement is *That's nuts!* My opinion on that formula also punishing players who contribute to the number one goal of any company (revenue) is also *That's nuts!*. If that makes me a complainer you'd toss out of your FS, pretty sure I could find a more compatible one anyway.

Anyone on Beta have a copper dragon to look at? The recent update of elvenarchitect marks the chapter 17 instance of this building as a 3x2 making it one of the more competitive event buildings. I think it is just a typo as all the previous chapters for this building have it as a 4x3.
