Oh that is rubbish i had 2 moves left to finish all the mazes and was expecting another day I feel so ripped off right about now... that is so unfair...

These events should have a count down timer running on them so players from different countries don't get ripped off all the time.

I had always liked the maze event. But the timer always making you wait 20 to 25 minutes after the timer reached 0 minutes for your pace is beyond incompetent. This was not like that in the past.

People put in tickets for it to be fixed and nothing was done. This same issue was in the previous event that had a timer so makes me wonder if it’s on purpose to force players to use passes. I really really hope that is fixed for the next event which will have a timer for moves like this event.

I always enjoy the maze event. I’m happy to have completed all the mazes and I spent a little under 200 passes on treats (I waited until the last full day and bought the treats when they were on sale for the weekend) I accidentally let my meter fill and missed out on several moves and then I got a little lost for a moment in the 5th maze which put me behind… Had I not made those mistakes I would have been able to finish for free, but I’m sure the Professor is worth what I spent…
The prizes were great and I’m happy to have the Professor Moriarty divine, I think he’s really cute and I love the way he does his little poof & disappear action and I really like that you have the chance to get a daily prize from him and don’t have to fill a meter.
I did notice the issue with the moves not showing up immediately upon their scheduled time but it was only by a couple minutes and I don’t think it affected me negatively at all… but that’s just my experience and opinion.
I had fun playing and I’m always happy to win a new divine!!

Hooray for a divine at the end!! Was it a divine I particularly wanted? Nah. But I worked hard this time to finish the event to get said divine and not just a fancy tack set and got a decent amount of fragments without trying for the Crak guy.
The mazes were fine, much easier to play on mobile. Did let my paces fill up, but that's on me.

I got the professor moriarity divine for 85 passes from objectives and maybe quartz or zaldia. I had to get up before 7 am about 4:30 am. I woke up the next time a few minutes before 7 am and the silver prize was a fortune. Really easy ti get the divine for free or cheap i only got off the nap trsil for treats and gold boxes. I couldve got the divine for free if i made less detours even one for gold boxes. I took all the shortcuts. Didnt go off trial for fragments. Im neutral about divine mostly because of extra legs snd perk not too useful for me.
The treats regeneration was horrible i didn't have this problem with piñata event. I don't know where to mark or complain about it on the survey.

A+ for the main prize being a divine, the tack sets are less worth the waiting for moves and seemingly a very slow feeling event.
A total screw up and F for the moves issue not being fixed. That was a problem for most people from day one, it was going to be ‘addressed’ but I didn’t see anything about that till last week, and then nothing ever happened. I still finished even with that, but it was a very annoying little quirk to deal with.

I was six paces from finishing. Six. Why didn't I finish? Because the date on mine said the ninth. Today is the eigth. I should have had time to finish. default smiley (d)

Liked that jackpot was Moriarty, I bought one sale treat pack if my memory serves correctly so I finished comfortably and even got through maze one again and got my next Maze trophy. The main prizes were good, but the silver/gold prizes were a bit lacking for the most part. Though I consider this a minor complaint.

Good event!

Im never the biggest fan of maze events as they seem less likely to be completable without spending passes. Like others, I would like if there was a countdown timer on the event page so we can see exactly how much time is left without having to do math for the game clock. This would let me know if I should prioritize gifts or trying to finish whatever maze I am on once the time is almost up.

Divine as the grand prize, was great, thank you! default smiley (y)

The secondary prizes were fine, but not overly generous.

The timer not working properly as a HUGE "bug" issue! Waiting an extra 20+ minutes each time was unacceptable, especially with the feedback that players were leaving the team each day.

Please, fix the bugs for the contests. I used passes to get Moriarty, but this was my choice, had the timer worked properly to reset each time I would have spent less passes.

I really enjoyed this event default smiley (l) I received several gifts, but I didn’t have enough time to complete the third maze. Maybe it’s because I joined the game later, but I also noticed that sometimes I didn’t receive movement points when the timer refreshed. When the hourly timer reset, I didn’t get a step added. I noticed this toward the end of the event, but I’m not sure whether I actually received fewer points or if they were credited later. default smiley :'( Has anyone else noticed something similar?

With very few exceptions, the promos end on a Monday. The crown has gone for an extra 24 hours for quite a while now, which I feel has led to a lot of confusion because players didn't get caught out nearly as often prior to this change. Perhaps the crown and event should go back to ending at the exact same time to prevent this from happening.

I would rather if paces recharged all at once per day so that I could just log on once and be done.

Prizes were kind of meh for the most part. I did finish it for free so that was nice, and the jackpot divine is quite useful, but BMI prizes were really meh. Silver prizes were basically worthless.

Yep, we have to check the banner to know what time these events end. I knew I needed one more pace to finish, which I did about an hour before the event ended. I went off track to get gold gifts and fragments, so I did buy one pack of treats. All in all, a pretty good event. default smiley (y)

I didn't think the pace delay was that big of a deal because I just got on a couple of times a day and they eventually arrived.

I always enjoy the artwork in these maze events. I think it is so good. default smiley (7)

I also appreciate getting a divine at the end. default smiley <:o)

This event bored me to tears, the recharging process is terribly slow. But having a divine as final prize is nice!

I quite like the maze events. Decent prizes for a free event and completable without any passes will always be met with approval. I required one pack of extra moves, but I had chased all the fragments.

Personally I wasn't that fussed by the 'repeat' end divine, I already have it and it's not a divine that offers value to my game to appreciate a second.

I enjoy doing the mazes and actually finished it on Saturday afternoon. Having a divine at the end for the main prize is so much better than getting a useless companion of which I have a lot of them. Some prizes were decent and others were blah.

The downside is the annoying delay when it was time for a move to show up in the meter. It varied from on time to maybe 30 minutes late. I was hoping the issue would be fixed.

To clarify, it's not that I saw the crown and assumed they ended at the same time, it actually did say tomorrow. As this is only my second event, I didn't have the experience to realize they should all end on Monday. I unfortunately don't have a screenshot of it because why would I take a screenshot? That seems paranoid... default smiley :@
So the glitch ended up costing me my fourth divine and hestias gift, which is kinda a big deal for someone who is trying to start draft unis. default smiley (d)default smiley (li)default smiley :'(

No, as stated in the event banner, as well as the main post of the Maze topic here in the events forum (the topic is still up, although now unpinned if you wish to check it), it was to end today.

I've never has an issue with the banner stating an incorrect end time, but if you're sure it was the event banner and not the Tyche's Crown divine banner that said it was to end on the 9th, I suggest confirming the end time for the next event when that starts. That way if you see that one is incorrect, Admin can be notified that there is an issue with the time displays

Waiting for paces, watching paint dry. Then to wait 20 minutes or so more? Really bad programming. If you can't fix it, extend the promo an extra hour so people can collect and use.

Thanks for offering a Divine as the Divine prize even if it wasn't why I wanted to finish the last maze. I was after the hestia.

I liked being able to get tack that is hard to come by, I was able to get pink tack

I was able to finish and got fragments to get the devine - I did use passes to get treats when weekend deal was in affect

I did get confused at times and may wrong moves

I was not happy to have to wait over 30 minutes to get pace moves when my timer went off - it delayed my game and made me concerned that I was losing pace moves - 2 times it affected my game play

I do still like the Mazes, but the prize values make it a bit less exciting than it used to be. Hera's Lily is a rarer item to come by, but it's odd to place it as a Gold gift in the same event that has a Hera's Pack (a Pack in which the Lily is only 1 component of) as a gold gift.

I do appreciate the ability to restart the mazes to aquire all gifts again. However, I prefer the old method of choosing which maze to restart, and restarting that maze with full pace Regeneration. There was a gold gift towards the start of one maze that I skipped because it was off the main path. Had we been able to restart a maze with full paces even if to only pick gifts we did not get during the first run through, I could have grabbed that gift. Restarting from the beginning was not beneficial to me.

I know some players would like to get all gifts again, so perhaps having the option to either restart from the very beginning to attempt all gifts, or restarting a maze of choice to only get gifts we did not yet obtain.

Issues with the delay in pace Regeneration: it sometimes took up to 25 minutes for my pace to arrive. This didn't affect my progress at all, because it did always arrive, but it caused a lot of confusion for players.

Was terrible on the iPad. No ability to hover and never went where I wanted.
Refill took place at random times. Would go from being a quarter full to completely full in a few hours or maybe less as I wasn’t on the game in the interim.
Just not a good use of time. Prizes were weak.

Got the divine, but unless you were online checking in constantly, it would've been hard to finish without spending passes. I had the pace bug all the way through the event up until my last pace, some places taking over half an hour to show up after the timer going off. Ridiculously slow going.
