Hahahaha! I don't know, I love it all :D! Though i wish the items such as the pearls, water, bricks, and all the sea food would come a little easer. I know its meant to be hard, but still XD I haven't gotten a single fish thingy. Anyway: Over all i really like this Festival. Its my second one in Sylestia And i love all the animals. Plus! I love how the bandits never end. I would have thought that they would have all passed out by now after loosing from all of us, but hey. Theres nothing "Bad" about this festival. So yea :D
SPIRIT APPROVES :D

so far I've loved this fest! but i think during the seeking, you should have a greater chance to get something with the magical items. I've put about 20$ into diamonds this fest and got a bunch of magic items and the best thing I've gotten was a lesser pet die...

The only thing I really miss is being able to trade goods like in the bakery event. Yeah things were a little crazy, but at least I didn't end up with ingredients for 10 pets I didn't want and then have to remember to do a bunch of trades. I am kind of scatter brained anyway, and during the fest there are SOOOO many things going on. I am fighting for the leaderboards, looking for themed, trying to trade my extra avi items for ones I don't have, tracking what event items I have yet to get, changing my clothes (because who doesn't want to wear all the new awesome clothes). I personally and just doing too much already to keep track of trades on top of it. It IS a little better this time because we don't have to wait 3 day (thank you) but I'd still like to be able to have my babies have my name as well. Plus I LOVE trading! I am not a breeder, I know that this is a breeding game, but it's not for me. I COLLECT and to collect more babies and items I trade. I adore trading. Trading is the lifeblood to me. It makes the game. Talking to people and being able to both come out happy is great!

Other than that....finding fish for making pets is turning out to be a pain in the butt. Even with the increased drop rate I am having a hard time. I can live with that ultimately though BUT it would be much better if we could trade :p

All that aside thank you so much for all your hard work and I am really enjoying the fest! :D

This festival has been great fun :) I was able to participate in a bunch of the stuff. I love this site to death from the amazing community and friendly people to the helpful admins :).

The only problem I have come across was how frustrating the seeking is for me. I have been at this festival since the first hour it started and have not had a new themed yet (i guess i have horrible luck). I do get when you see something its a better chance at getting something. I seen a sylvorpas head sticking out of the water used the highest fishing pole and only got a water I was disappointed.

I don't think they should be super easy to get but at least a bit easier would be nice x.x. I have tons of pearls and water and clay but no new pets as of yet. So I have been over working on those nutures trying to get any I can but even that is tiring.

The contests are fun, and most of the pet designs are awesome, so great job on that. And I'm enjoying the opponents in the festival map. However, the Slyesti Seeking has proven to be a bit too difficult for a game that is almost purely based on luck. (If it had anything to do with actual skill, I'd say bring it on difficulty-wise; and I still thoroughly enjoy games of luck - it's just that for a game to be fun, "extremely difficult" and "90% luck" don't really go together.) I'd highly suggest you do at least one of the following:

1) Make it even easier/more common to find/stumble upon shovels and fishing poles when adventuring.
2) Make the probability of finding items higher - especially actually useful items (e.g. clay, animal items, etc. instead of gold). Like... I've used every shovel and fishing pole I've found (and I've played a lot the past day or two) and I'm only now getting anywhere remotely close to being able to make a pet, as 2/3 of the squares I click on/search don't give me anything, and of the ones that do, most give me gold - which is completely useless in the context of that particular game.
3) Make the items you find on the beach trade-able/sell-able so that people can sell/trade whatever they have excesses of for things that they actually need for the game. (Which may make finding gold in the Slyesti Search game actually slightly useful.)
4) Allow a shorter time between moving locations. (Low on the priority list there, but would still be slightly helpful.)

(Sorry for the long post...)

The last several events have felt very 'pay to win' overall. I remember the first festival I was here for I was able to play for a couple of hours each day and got several themed pets by the end. Now it feels like I would need to spend excessively more time just to get one.

The main problem I think is the following. Let's say I want to get one of the new themed pets.
1. Fight the bosses and gather from the chests for 1-2 seeker items.
2. Use seeker items and find NOTHING or maybe one item.
3. Wait two hours for bosses to respawn.

Or I could do the contests which are:
1. Spend hours clicking through eggs...
or
2. Spend even more hours fighting pets and hope that I will hit enough of the species I want to get that I win.

If someone else spends more hours doing either of those I could get kicked out of my slot and get only a goody bag again which will likely give me a few seeker items that will allow me to try again.

I guess I'm just not invested enough in this site to be willing to spend that much time to maybe get a pet. I've actually been considering 'shunning' the festivals and focusing on breeding challenges or doing more in the forum.

I have multiple video games that I have spent less cash on overall that I would much rather play. I was willing to drop about $20 on this game every couple months or so for festivals, but now it feels like I can only succeed if I spend the cash.

What would help: Less random. It used to be I could adventure around the area (which is and was grindy), but I had the opportunity to run into the themed pets I wanted if I spent more time. Technically this is still true, but the time requirement has increased exponentially.

I really enjoy the learderboards, primarily for the rewards. Maybe it's just me, but it seems as if the zone themes are very rare. At least this time around. Other than that, I think you guys have outdone yourselves yet again this fest.

I always like the contests, but I liked how last Fall Fests was set up better, each species running twice for 12 hours was a lot easier than having to do multiple at once. :p

I guess my only complaint is that we can't trade our sylesti "ingredients". My favorite part of the spring fest was trading with other players so that we could both get the species that we wanted, and the fertilizing thing made that a lot easier because we could boost the seed to be the level that we wanted before swapping eggs. Now, if I want to trade, I'm gathering loads of pearls for a pet that I may not even be able to find a trade for, and there's no way to ensure that another player would also be using a prismatic pearl. I don't have as much time to devote to destroying the leaderboards this time, so I'm pretty sure I'm not getting a 3-vis of my preferred species from this fest, and just knowing that my odds are so low makes this fest a lot less fun than the last one.

TL;DR: Could you make sea creature seeking supplies tradeable? :<

Like, maybe when you find one, it could go into your regular inventory like seeking tools do when they drop off bandits until you "use" them to put them in your Sylesti Seeking inventory.

@Emgeal,
I agree, I feel like it has become more time consuming to get less. While the randomness makes sense for the forum games where participation is the goal, it's becoming a bit frustrating for non-forum games. TT___TT

I guess what would be nice to me is, at least for the avatar items, increasing the chance of getting them from seeking with no "special square" would help make the seeking seem more fun. I'd rather have less fishing rods and shovels, but be more guaranteed to get an item.

Alternatives to randomness would be meeting certain conditions to get an item. Defeat 100 bandits gets you an avatar item. That type of thing. Makes sense to me. c:

@Fresh,
I agree about normal clothing items. xD I try to suggest them when I can :p Even though I do go for the female outfits, it does seem like some solid male outfits should be done as well. Even if the majority of the outfits are special-themed-like would be nice to have 1 "normal" outfit per seasonal festival. o:
