Looking at the reception of the event, it's pretty obvious things could (should) have been different. We're collating it all and passing it on the the development team for events we'll be making in the future.

Hey all,

Archaeology has been released for a little over a week and many of you are still exploring the various new dig sites. Here is an overview of all the things that have happened and are happening in and around Gielinor while you've been excavating!

We're always on the look out for feedback and suggestions so please use this thread and comment your thoughts on Archaeology.

Last but not least, if there is something important that needs to be communicated we'll use this thread to do so.

Do not get me wrong these are nice to have, but if they do not come out the same day as the livestream it is probably a waste of time. I would guess that the majority of people that care to read these already know about Suity/Rubic and get the TL;DR from those sources. It would be nice to have these coming from the people in charge of the live stream but with more than 2 days of delay they will be irrelevant to most.

I absolutely agree a huge portion of our player base will be happy with the TL:DR's from Suity & rubic (and I can confirm many Jmod's do too). There is also a portion of players mainly more casual players that prefer the longer written out version,

However one of the biggest reasons we're quite keen to continue this (despite them being a couple of days late at times) is the fact that it offers something to the players of the localised languages (Portuguese, french & german), they previously couldn't learn anything from the livestreams.

I feel like they should basically be prepared before the live streams. Yes it will probably need to be modified but shouldn't need to be much.

There is some work that we do prior to the streams on them and in the ideal scenario we would have it published on the thursday or friday after the stream. Which we were getting closer to with the others.

The flickering effects option, doesn't change what you think it does (there is some room for improvement here)!

It only affects something small in the area where you can find killerwatt's. It's an old toggle and we should probably look to rename or remove it.

Glad you're enjoying it! It's also worth noting that it makes exploring on Mobile so much easier, which is particular useful to solve the various mysteries in Archaeology!

Comment

I've noted it down and will bring it up with the team.

it still doesn't solve the problem, but till April 13th you can only get a small Twitching Tome, granting you 250xp. After April 13th you will get a larger one granting you 500 XP.

I wanted to share this to show that we as a team had put some thoughts into this and implemented it with the race in mind. Alas judging from much of the feedback probably not enough.

Sending you my Jmod luck blessing.

Yes we know this one is released rather late!

For the other ones we should be getting them out much sooner again. We've been excavating a lot of artefacts at the new digsites and as a result it's been gathering a little bit of dust! Our apologies.

Am I missing the imcando mattock piece(s) 'fix'?

It wasn't ready to be part of monday's release, good news however is that we just hotfixed this 5 minutes ago!

" Adjusted the drop rate of Imcando mattock pieces, making it increasingly more common with a higher Archaeology level."

So this isn’t a traditional Easter event, a mini quest? Is this just an MTX token event with an Easter theme?

I don't think I can judge what is or isn't a traditional easter event. We're trying something out here and we'll see what the easter bunny has in store for us!

Worth noting is that event has no monetisation, if that is what you're concerned about.

Why were flickering effects auto-toggled back on & are now not able to be toggled off? This is just begging for people to suffer epileptic attacks

I've asked the team around, but this toggle doesn't do what you expect it to do. It an old toggle and only affects something in the killerwatt area.

The Easter event will run from April 8th to April 15th, so set your egg-timers now.

In the past we've had at least 2 weeks for Easter Events. Why are you limiting it to 1 week all of a sudden? And it's not even accessible the day you add it to the game...

There is no real reason why it is 1 week, aside from that it might be disruptive to some if it were to go on for too long. The balancing of the easter event is also rather generous and not very grindy so it should be relatively easy to get all the rewards from the event.

Is it even active? I have no idea how to start it, the patch notes are honestly vague about it

EDIT I get it, I misread it, I’m tired and stressed, sorry gang

The event will be active from april 8th till April 15th.
