I liked this event. I went all the way through and started over to earn more fragments for Embers.

This is one of my favorite of the events. I got a lot of prizes and used passes when I wanted to.

This is one of my favourite events. Not too mentally taxing, good graphics, and good prizes. Always happy when it comes back.

I like the basic event. This time the graphics were too close together in color. Also, I am not fond of the limited number of moves. I liked it better when we could click until there were no more moves.

I liked many of the prizes I received.

I HATE that we have to use crowns to get the divine!!! I had to use so many to get Embers. I went through the whole event and then went back for more fragments. I STILL had to open 20 of Them!! They are too expensive and only give 15 - 22 fragments!

So frustrating.

Likes:
- Able to finish without spending passes, get all items in all the chests, and get the grand prize (I set timers to remind myself)
- Got 680 fragments for Embers
- Chest prizes reset once you get them all

Dislikes:
- Point system for filling each level's meter makes no sense and is even not based on completing the tasks (destroying rocks or clearing the arrows). I wish we could go back to the old version of this event where we had actual tasks on every level (e.g., destroy 12 red blocks and 8 blue; deploy 2 rockets; etc.) that determined whether we got a better chest.
- The tiles were WAY too busy, and too similar! I am not even colorblind and the colors seemed too similar (dark tones), and the animal faces were just too intricate and looked too much alike. I had a very tough time finding the best matches because of this. This may have been worsened because I played on mobile and the tiles were very small.

Additionally, the "rate the event" poll was very glitchy on the mobile version.

I enjoyed this event, it was very easy, I felt like the rock feature was not challenging so the rocket helped with them. The treasure rewards were a hit or miss, I was able to open a few premium, and gold boxes. As for fragments, it would be awesome if I'd ever collect all them in a mini-game but as regards casual fun while howrsing, it's been quite good. default smiley (l)

I wasn't super invested in this one, I also wasn't online for 2-3 days due to holiday, so I didn't progress as much as I could've - but overall I'm happy with all my gifts, and even got 2 Tyche's Crowns which I rarely get because I never buy them. The game itself was simple and fun enough, I never mind these, but I didn't spend a single pass to unlock chests sooner etc. I didn't find it worth it for the prizes I was receiving. That made it a very stress-free event, I only logged in once a day and still got plenty of prizes. 7/10 from me

I enjoyed the game. I logged on everyday and only spent money on boosters once so I was able to get frosty. I could have not spent anything and still got the companion which was great. I really liked the range and amount of prizes! As a beginner it was helpful to receive a lot of bonus tack.
On numerous occasions I was not able to see half the blocks due to slowness of the app. I thought it was my internet but I was connected to WiFi and it spanned a whole week.

Pros:
-great prize pool
-possible to get embers for free if you planned it out right (i just barely missed him)
-all hail the emperor

Cons:
-a lot of people had a hard time telling the blocks apart (i didn't have that issue but it seemed common)
-personally i get tired of long wait times

I had a plan from the beginning and was all set...then unfortunately got Covid, missed a few parts of my plan, realized that I could still get fragments today, opened crowns, aaaand ended up about 50 fragments short of Embers default smiley :@default smiley xd So you'd best believe I'll be ready for that one to come around again!

That aside, I quite enjoyed this promo. Lots of choice to do as much or as little with it as you'd like, prizes were worth working for, and not overly time consuming. One of my favourites recently. Plus...Emperor Frosty!

the rare and precious prizes werent actually rare or precious. Pretty lame in that aspect, a crystal chest should yield a prize that I cannot make in my workshops. Just saying.
I do like prizes for free, and am grateful for that, but the prize levels need a reality check! Spurs are not rare, nor is a lunge line.

I will never complain about free or very low effort stuff but the prizes were so disproportionate again

What was the gold chest equus? 40k, compare that to all the low BM items in the wooden chest that exchange for more than that so it makes no sense?

Lowest HB - 49k
Lowest arrow - 50k

In my opinion any eqqus amount under 100k is not rare

Not trying to be petty, the prizes themselves were fine but its always so disproportionate as to what you the team deam rare verus what the actual players value.

This event is OK, but it gets annoying when you have the gaps in some of the block areas & can't connect things together properly.

The prizes were OK & I did get all the way through, but I bought boosters to get through, then I figured out I still had another day left & would have finished without it, so since I had extra boosters, I went ahead & opened my chests & then got more chests, opened them, got more & then let you guys open those at the end.

I do wish that some of the prizes would have been different. Prizes we can make in our workshops or buy fairly reasonably in the store are not rare prizes.

I liked the event quite a bit over-all.
However when it came to the rewards in gold and purple chests, some of the rewards felt like they belonged in the brown chest... like the lounge for example, that's an item I can easily make in the shop or buy it...
