Correction to my previous statement June 2nd was when it was supposed to end. That's entirely my bad by I still stand by that it shouldn't have ended then like everyone else even though I didn't read the date correctly on it.

I found the last one hard to get through because it took too long for my bars to fill up in the end. One more day would have been nice to get it or few more hours.However , getting more prizes that I needed: pass seeds, and Hercules horseshoes in Dressage and barrel racing were hits.

I thought this was a great event! However, I did not like that when you increased the number of blocks per attack, you would get doors that costed fewer slots but each attack would take that certain number out of your inventory, spending more energy than the door actuakly needed. It felt like a waste of energy.

I would like to know how many people have win the final price without paying passes. I had the luck to have a lot of free time during this event so I could played a lot, but still couldn't finish it. I would appreciate more time or better condition for the player who play and work, at least to finish the game.

I am relatively happy with the prizes I got. Although, as others have said, it sucks that we didn't get an extension for the day the site was down. If we hadn't missed that day, I would have finished the event!! But I missed it by two or three hits on the last door. I even tried spending passes but decided to give up. Either way, I enjoy the door events.

The pixel art is cute looking. I am going to focus on shortening the regeneration next time as filling the Metre took too long at the end.

I really think that the event should've been extended for a day. Like many other players, I missed a full day of being able to play this event. At the very least, why not provide codes to players for more energy boosters?
I did enjoy the event overall though. Graphics were cute and I really like the raccoons. I'd be interested to see them as possible companions.

Missed getting the Shark necklace companion by just a few hours, sadly. default smiley (n) Not a fan of the event because the doors towards the end took a whole day's worth of "ticks" or energy bars to unlock if even that lucky. Too slow for my taste as a whole.

Not an event I generally like, however I was pleased to find this one was able to be finished without any spending (on two regional servers) and an reasonably pleased with the items I picked up. I would rather be able to stock up on GA's, HP's and other customisation items personally, but the special tack will come in handy as I don't have the pack perks or divines that give it out and two old passes worth of pass seeds was nice default smiley (y) Also the shark companions, as I missed those previously so am slowly trying to collect.

For once I got lucky with the divine too, which meant I wasn't chasing fragments through the rooms, so probably why I managed more prizes than usual.

I did end up getting all the prizes I wanted, with just a few passes spent and I consider what I got to be worth the pass amount, so no issues there. I still think chili rooms shouldn't have big prizes in them, though.

The raccoon art was cute. default smiley :)

I agree with what's been said about the extension being too short, though. The game was down/buggy for close to 12 hours, which for most players would have been enough to fill the bar for more than the 2 clicks we were given as compensation. There've been extensions for holidays and such before, so it's not like the events absolutely *need* to be a on a tight schedule either. I would have thought 12 hours extension would be fairer.

If you logged in frequently enough to prevent the meter from filling, and followed Nalu's guide for upgrades (including always picking up the chilis), you should have been able to finish for free.
Of course, there's some fluctuation based on which prizes you go for since some take more energy/clicks than others.

I managed to get a nice amount of stuff without spending any passes so pretty good. I don't think I got very close to being able to get the divine but I wasn't really trying so maybe that's why.

Between the maintenance/site issues and the slow pace to get what you need to advance I realize that is on purpose so you get irritated and spend passes to move fast.

Today is June 2nd and the event was suppose to end on June 3rd. I was a little more than 8 doors to get to the end but the same happened at the last event that I could not finished for only one step which it was really disappointing.

The overall game is kind of fan but the purpose of that is to get players to spend passes to get to the end and that means to spend money for nothing not too different to gambling. I called it "entertainment spend" which sometimes I do, no complaints on that unless is too often.

So in conclusion: If you want to play fast you need to spend passes which is spend money. And the fact that is announced to end on one specific date and ends earlier which is a big lie to the players that are loyal to the game.

Would have liked to be able to save my tutorial chillies for the upgrades I wanted at the start.

Are the fantasy Sharks a rare item and if so how much are they worth

I didn't get through despite always collecting the chilies and maxing out the bars. In the end I was six clicks away from finishing, despite spending a few hundred passes on clicks. I thought the event was ending on the third of June, whereas it's still June 2nd for another nine hours and June 3rd at 7am is 16 hours away! Such a shame. I did get some prizes, but did not get to the end. C'est la vie.

Overall, I'm happy with the promo and the prizes that I got. I did end up spending some passes to go back through for the fragments and some of the black market items that I initially skipped.


Even though the promo does start off kind of slow and boring, it is one of my favorite promos.

I've never been a fan of the Doors contests because they are really hard to complete. This time, though since the grand prize was the worthless and unappealing Art History horse, I wasn't too fussed about not finishing. I got some good BMI's. The artwork was cute but I never figured out what chili peppers had to do with art history or museums! default smiley (lol)

Definitely enjoyed this event. I got started later in the day rather than right when the event started. And on another occasion I accidentally let my bar stay full for a few hours. Despite that, I was able to get to the end and complete the event easily enough. The day the game wasn't running right, I probably spent an hour or so trying to brute-force the event page to load so I could spend my energy. I feel bad for people who didn't/couldn't do the same and got set back. The event really should've been extended for an entire day instead. Or at least some free energy added for everyone. Especially considering how much energy is needed to get through door 80.

I did spend 90 passes so I could go back and get a Shark pet item. The designs of the event were cute and I hope to see them more in the future, in some fashion. The prizes were decent too. Can't complain about free stuff! Though I did choose the cheapest door to get through on each level, meaning that I sacrificed more desirable stuff in favor of finishing. Though, considering the number of pieces in the Knight set and what it would've been like to get them separately from the doors, I think it was worth it.

All in all, I'd give the event an 8.5/10. Or a 22/25 based on the survey. Always in favor of events where I don't have to log on every hour on the hour to keep up.

I like being able to choose the prize. I am very happy to have gotten 2 Posiedon's packs and the Heracles horseshoes!!

I find this event confusing because of the amount of energy needed vs the amount of points per strike. I liked being able to choose what prize I wanted to go after tho I thought it was weird that sometimes there wasn't a choice and I had to go after more chili's. I have never done well with this promo but since I am not interested in the art history horses it wasn't a big deal not finishing. I loved the graphics and thought the little raccoon tagger was hilarious.

I used Passes I got through Achievements to beat the final boss.
I accidentally missed over half of a day's event's starting out, and then kept missing some of the event, so... That's my bad, but I defeated the boss!

Prizes were really great, normally I'd pass up going back for more prizes, but this one had quite a lot of good ones (there went more Passes, but worth it!)

Theme was really cute - little bandit racoons!

Enjoyed this event, liked the prizes, kinda wish we had been granted an extra 24h due to the maintenance issues though, as I was 6 points away from the last pack and I did lose time and points while the game stopped working. But c'est la vie. I got the victory pack and an entire set of dragon samurai, so I wont complain

I liked the idea of the event, but I am disappointed that I was only 4 points away from beating the final boss. I tried to be very active with the event to make sure I don't lose out on energy, but one thing came in my way :/ I wish it was just slightly less pay to win for that event. if I had known there was no possible way for me to defeat the final boss, I would've used that energy to get items I really wanted. I was trying to get to the final door ASAP. Cute art though!

I got to door 72 out of 80 without spending a single pass on this event, and while I'm mostly fine with what I picked up along the way it's disappointing that I didn't even get to get through that door to get the horn of plenty JUST because it took longer than I expected to pick up some things my cat needed and I couldn't make it back online in time to do those clicks.

I'm not a fan of how quickly the scaling escalated for the amount of energy you need for each click, either, or the fact that certain rooms refused to give more than one option, meaning you could be stuck in a room for a very long time and bringing it to a screeching halt.
