Dev Diary: Anniversary Event 2019

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...ry_25_2018.jpg

Dear Settlers,

In 1993, Blue Byte released the very first "The Settlers" game, launched for Amiga in Germany, and followed later with international releases after great reception and success. The first Settlers Game came out on PC in 1994 AND it is also the 9th Birthday of "The Settlers Online". It's been wonderful 25 years on PC, a long, meaningful and nice journey which we'd like to celebrate with a special...

ANNIVERSARY EVENT

Start: September 9th, 2019 10:00 CEST
End: September 23rd, 2019 10:00 CEST *
*The Anniversary Event ends on September 23rd, 10:00 CEST, however, you will have 2 additional days to collect your potential reward(s).

Level requirement: 16+

Note: General event features unlock at level 16. If you are below level 16, you still see the first quest of the quest chain, which tasks you to reach level 16.

However, if your level is below 26, you cannot go on missions and will not receive the mission-based quest chain before catching up. You will also lack access to one farmable source of Cake Dough.

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...two_phases.png

The Anniversary Event lasts for 2 weeks and has 2 phases.

Donation Phase 1: September 9th, 2019 10:00 CEST - September 16th, 2019 10:00 CEST
Donation Phase 2: September 16th, 2019 10:00 CEST - September 23rd, 2019 10:00 CEST

The goal is to collect and donate as many balloons as possible. The main way to do so is to convert the resources available within your level range in a special event epic workyard, the Festival Hall.

You will be rewarded for donating certain totals of balloons. In addition, every week of the event features a special reward for everyone with level 16 and above if a certain total of balloons is donated worldwide.

Ready to kick off the party?
Then join us in celebrating 26 years of The Settlers (Amiga), 25 years of The Settlers (PC) and 9 Years of "The Settlers Online"!

You're invited to share a slice of your feedback > here <

The Anniversary Event wouldn't be the epic celebration that it is without countless amounts of balloons; we'll need everyone to band together in order to make sure every island has enough as to furnish the proper festivities! Instead of serving as a currency, these balloons are donated to unlock personal and worldwide rewards in a predetermined order. Balloons can be earned in the following ways:
Conversion:
When converting level appropriate resources into balloons

Event Quest Chain:
Completing Event Quests

In-game merchant:
Balloons can be purchased from the in-game merchant
The first donation goal is set at 400.000.000 Balloons!
The second goal will be provided at a later time.

Once earned, balloons can be donated from the resources' context menu in any warehouse. Just click on the warehouse, click on the Balloons and there you find the "Donate"-Button. They serve no other purpose and can not be traded. The main way in which balloons are earned is through the Festival Hall; an epic workyard on the event isle that you can use during the event. It has three slots in which productions can be activated that convert different resources into balloons.

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...ation_hall.png

The Festival Hall

Blowing up balloons can be exhausting work, so when your Settlers are all out of puff you'll need to motivate them with the tastiest of treats: cake! The Petite Birthday Cake and the Enormous Birthday Cake are two buffs that can be produced in the Provision House. They are made from two event resources, Cake Dough and Birthday Candles, which can only be earned by players at level 50 or below and level 51 or above respectively.

If you're missing one of the two resources, feel free to trade with your friends! But if that's not your thing, you can always convert the resources into each other at a rate of 2 to 1 for Candles to Cake Dough or 3 to 1 for Cake Dough into Candles! Additionally to last year the amount of cake dough required to produce cakes was cut by 20%!

Adventure Loot
https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...est_chain_.png

As soon as the event starts, you will receive a quest chain if the level requirement is met. The first quests guide you through the event mechanics, whereas the next ones task you to complete the event.

The Donation Quests are a means of rewarding you for the balloon donations - they can also help you take a peek at what rewards await you! ;) If you are level 16 or higher, you will immediately receive this main quest and all milestone subquests. After completing all of them, a looping quest will reward further donations with consumables.

The quest for the 1st phase will not be removed during the second phase in order to allow you to collect the reward of the 1st phase during the 2nd one.

The 2nd phase ends two days before the end of the event, allowing you to collect the reward of the 2nd phase during those days. Balloons can still be donated during those days.

Completing event-related achievements is a means of earning balloons. The achievements do not contribute to the overall achievement score and the ones that have not been earned by the end of the event will be hidden from the achievement menu.

The achievements deal with 2 aspects of the event:
Friends applying birthday cake buffs

Balloon gathering and production

Update: Wondrous Anniversary Residence and Improved floating residence
Dear settlers,

We have an Update for the developers diary:
We noted previously in the Dev Diary that there was a limitation of 1 for "Wondrous Anniversary Residence" and "Improved floating residence".

We've decided to change the limitation and make the buildings limitless for this Event only!
Name: Wondrous Anniversary Residence (not tradable, not giftable)
Type: Building
Description: Festively redecorated, the Wondrous Residence shines in a new light to celebrate all Settlers.
Price: 9999 Gems (Limit: No Limit)

Name: Improved Floating Residence (not tradable, not giftable)
Type: Building
Description: An improved version of the floating residence, granting more space for settlers impervious to seasickness!
Price: 2499 Gems (Limit: No Limit)

Happy settling,

Update: First Community Goal
Dear Settlers,

The first Community Goal was reached on Saturday! Yippie and Good Job everyone!
We are also aware that a small group of players received the first Community Goal quest twice, which allowed them to claim double rewards for it.

Next steps:

We are currently investigating the cause of this. More details will follow in the near future (most likely after the Anniversary Event is finished).

What we know for now:
We will not take any items away.

It is not considered as an exploit.

The problem occurred on a random basis and was caused by factors outside the control of the affected players.
Happy Settling,
BB_Sious
