Advent Tree Updated

December 6, 2012 at 3:35 PM

ADVENT TREE UPDATES - We will directly confirm that the Advent Tree will no longer do any unexpected changes to your creatures like apply Stars or do gender changes.

ROAROHRRRHRHGGHHH!


ADVENT TREE HEADS UP - On certain days, the Advent Tree may magically reset your Cave or Asteroid attempts, so be sure to do that sort of business before visiting the Tree.

Thanks for helping us improve the Advent Tree!

@elluwah WOW! O.O I totally must agree with everyone who's already commented it is an amazing picture 😃

Orderedchaos • 6 Dec 2012, 5:40 PM

@lily- If you are unhappy with the gender change you can send in a ticket about it.

elluwah • 6 Dec 2012, 5:41 PM

@cotton Aww, thank you! I use Photoshop CS5 for my drawings. 😊

whispers • 6 Dec 2012, 5:47 PM

Well, that's a heads up 😊 But, I liked the idea of giving the star/gender change and having a choice to accept or deny it ;D

cotton • 6 Dec 2012, 5:48 PM

@elluwah Haha, you're welcome! And thanks 😊

lily- • 6 Dec 2012, 5:52 PM

@orderedchaos Thank you for the suggestion, I may do that, though I do think it was fun whilst it lasted, so I didn't mind much 😊

iulianna1 • 6 Dec 2012, 6:17 PM

@elluwah Love it! *-*

iulianna1 • 6 Dec 2012, 6:18 PM

If anyone is interested in a Frozen Starred Effa egg, a frozen ghosty egg, a swornt, or a unipeg, please contact me! I need to trade them 😊

peppermintcowboy • 6 Dec 2012, 6:20 PM

This update is a relief! 😊 I really like the Advent Tree and hope it becomes an Egg Cave tradition! Can't wait to see what it gifts next...

mrsgiggles • 6 Dec 2012, 6:28 PM

@Ian thanks for this!

thursdays_dove • 6 Dec 2012, 6:30 PM

How kind! I liked the random changes, but it's nice for the people who it really bothered. 😊

lizymarie • 6 Dec 2012, 6:55 PM

Ah ... ☚ī¸ I was excited when I got a Star out of it. *pouts* I would have liked the chance to get my Portishead starred!!! ❤ī¸

pipkitten • 6 Dec 2012, 6:58 PM

Lol, the Treelar in the post seems like it should have my Treelar's name: RAEG. 😋

crescentfeather • 6 Dec 2012, 7:16 PM

@pipkitten RAEEEGGGGG! xD

mellyottl • 6 Dec 2012, 7:29 PM

This was nice.

elementalpaws • 6 Dec 2012, 7:37 PM

Yes! I got a travel instead of a star

unknownangels • 6 Dec 2012, 7:53 PM

thats really lame...ty everyone who complained =l i was happy with the advent tree >_<

taunter • 6 Dec 2012, 7:53 PM

I liked the starring of creatures 😸 But thanks for the heads up

dragonii • 6 Dec 2012, 8:14 PM

awww i liked it when it change my creatures gender and added stars to them 😸 WHY WHY!!! ;.;

camideadlyrose • 6 Dec 2012, 8:27 PM

it changed the gender of my corphex T.T now its a girl <.<

sandstorm99 • 6 Dec 2012, 9:06 PM

😋 Loved the star changes! I was fine with the gender change... because it changed an egg I would have been fine with either way. 😊

daikirai • 6 Dec 2012, 9:25 PM

I'm okay either way. 😊

ginna3525 • 6 Dec 2012, 9:40 PM

good night egg cave, thats great news

cricket • 6 Dec 2012, 9:40 PM

It's easier to just stop something altogether than to have to deal with a ton of tickets and fix them individually.

novrain62 • 6 Dec 2012, 9:45 PM

Enjoy the Friday plus the weekend coming!!

flashbunny • 6 Dec 2012, 11:10 PM

i feel disappointed... you guys shouldn't make EC safe to play . . . a star is not that big of a deal and neither is gender... -sigh-

flashbunny • 6 Dec 2012, 11:11 PM

every other site has risks, and this seems no fun anymore. But yeah, that's just me right?! Morning.

elementalpaws • 6 Dec 2012, 11:13 PM

Yes! Friday that's a half day......with Nachos for lunch.Plus I have band! ❤ī¸ I love Fridays

elementalpaws • 6 Dec 2012, 11:15 PM

My Birthday's the 18th......I can't wait, who else has birth days this month? 😊

Orderedchaos • 6 Dec 2012, 11:34 PM

@flashbunny There were only those two "risk" days planned for this advent tree. Personally I loved those two days. They were fun.

Orderedchaos • 6 Dec 2012, 11:35 PM

It would have been nice if more people who liked those days spoke up when everyone else was ranting about them.

dionaea • 6 Dec 2012, 11:36 PM

@flashbunny Even if other sites do stuff like this, they always give a warning when they do (think neopets labray or Aramii's Nebula), there

dionaea • 6 Dec 2012, 11:37 PM

was no warning whatsoever, the stars were OK, but random gender changes?

pipkitten • 6 Dec 2012, 11:40 PM

I personally enjoyed the star and gender change days. It made the whole thing a lot more fun due to the risk, in my opinion. I don't see--

pipkitten • 6 Dec 2012, 11:41 PM

--why so many people were angered by it. "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit," as my kindergarten teacher once said.

nousernamesleft • 6 Dec 2012, 11:47 PM

@orderedchaos I really didn't mind. In fact, I loved the stars *pokes feat*. But majority rules. ☚ī¸

dionaea • 6 Dec 2012, 11:54 PM

I'm not saying that there shouldn't be a risk, I'm saying it should be clear if there IS a risk, the advent thing at neopes is risk free.

froggytails • 7 Dec 2012, 12:03 AM

The tree fed all my critters, how nice. ^^

mrsgiggles • 7 Dec 2012, 12:11 AM

Free food for all pets today! Nice!

flashbunny • 7 Dec 2012, 12:14 AM

@dionaea i don't think labray is a seasonal thing, and for Neopets.. Neopets doesn't change every little thing ...

flashbunny • 7 Dec 2012, 12:15 AM

... that the users don't like, i like that - means the site knows where it's heading and the owner has it's own vision, i'll be honest...

flashbunny • 7 Dec 2012, 12:15 AM

... and i don't mean to offend anyone, but it seems as EC is just pleasing some ranting 12 year olds you know. . .

flashbunny • 7 Dec 2012, 12:16 AM

So sorry for the spam, and i love that saying @pipkitten 😸

mrsgiggles • 7 Dec 2012, 12:21 AM

@flashbunny You're entitled to your opinion, but can you not insult others who disagree with you by calling them ranting 12-year olds?

dionaea • 7 Dec 2012, 12:24 AM

No, the labray isn't, but theres a warning it can have adverse efects, the neo advent calendar as no risk whatsoever

thursdays_dove • 7 Dec 2012, 12:34 AM

Man, I'm having such hard luck with the cave... :/

thursdays_dove • 7 Dec 2012, 12:36 AM

In regards to this post, I feel bad that this is the second year in a row Ian has gotten negative feedback on something that was supposed-

thursdays_dove • 7 Dec 2012, 12:36 AM

-to be fun and a nice gesture towards Egg Cavers. :/

skibaerle • 7 Dec 2012, 12:39 AM

Good morning eggcave!

toy • 7 Dec 2012, 12:45 AM

@thursdays_dove Not everyone is going to be happy with something, so you might as well satisfy the majority while you can.
