Easter Egg Hunts (Future and Present)

Feedback Regarding This Year's Event:

I'm not getting the prizes, this hunt was way too hard for me to accomplish because of time constraints. I balance Egg Cave with other websites, and none of them has had events as hard to balance with others. I'm considering spending even less time on Egg Cave because of this event-I know some players were able to do this event, but I didn't have the time nor the practically infinite patience to complete it. When I do get time, 95% of the time I'm getting eggs I've already gotten, when I've only gotten 7/20 Eggs.


Suggestion Regarding Future Egg Hunts:

I would appreciate it if we would have more time available, and if the eggs we already obtained didn't appear please.


Does anyone else have anything to add, have you had similar problems?

@rockinsia
Maybe make them bigger and more commonly found? I haven't time to hunt for mini eggs ☹️
And although, EggCave definitly knows how to give us a challenge 😃

The repeats were extremely annoying. Seeing as everyone voted 'no' on your poll so far, I don't think the egg hunt was very popular this year.

Also please consider your PST/PDT & HAST players too. If you do it again next year I was stuck in class till 7PM today. So 6PM ending was bad timing for me and I bet other PST/PDT & HAST players as well. Which show you not caring about those in some of the other timzone or did you folks forget not everyone is in the same timezone? Either way this is a bit of a red flag to me. From my experience 11:59PM work well for other sites that do events. That would have left about 4 hours after class for me and it would have mostly likely helped a lot as I was only missing 1 & 10. I would believe others in those two timezones would probably agree too.

I'm in the PDT timezone as well, I would have had a better chance of getting at least more eggs if it hadn't ended so early in the day.

Yeah this year's egghunt wasn't much fun at all more time consuming and if you've only got a few hours to give it your all and only find repeats then what's the point of looking? I've found repeats and thought it might've been the egg I was looking for only to find it's not. If you find the egg it shouldn't repeat is all. The eggs either should be bigger or there should be something to magnify the area instead of having to zoom in every time just to see what you're looking at. And yes there should've been more time for people to look for the eggs, as you're already busy with real life. How can you have enough time to look for all. Refreshing the tabs actually made my comp crash because of how many times I kept doing that. Also whenever there's events like this it just lags and that's even more disappointing.

I do love a challenge! I liked them being tiny and hard to find. However, my computer was put through a lot, going through so many tabs. In fact this morning I got a message saying my monthly data usage was up, yikes! :X

I would have been SUPER disappointed if I got 18 eggs...maybe I would add some prizes, like you get one kind of egg if you reach 10...that egg and another kind if you reach 15, and so on.

I guess just different prizes awarded based on how much you were able to accomplish 😊

What I think: if they do plan on sticking with this format next year, instead of having one prize at the end, they should have a sort of prize shop so that those who find all but one egg can still get something for their efforts, even if it isn't the best and rarest creature.

My two cents.

Yeah. This years egg hunt was ratchet. Doing this while trying to balance it with real life was really hard. Not to mention being on a mobile makes the experience that much harder.

In my opinion, the eggs should be bigger (it was a strain on my eyes and they began to hurt the more I stared at pages to look for them) and shouldn't appear again once found.

Plus, the event was too time consuming. I couldn't spend more than an hour searching because I have to balance EC with my daily life and even in that short hour, I rarely found an egg. Also, coupled with lagging internet, everything loaded incredibly slow and I had to wait more than 5 minutes for a page to load. It just added to my dislike of the whole thing.

@Ian
I think a few of us PST/PDT HSAT players would like an explanation on why it ended at 6PM on a weekday, unlike the more reasonable time other sites use (11:59pm) . 6pm EC time is is 3PM for PST/PDT players and 12PM for HAST players. Most of us where most likely either in class or working when it ended. making it impossible for PDT/PST & HAST players to finish this without sneak playing and would have to risk losing their devices.

I also have to agree with @metaphor on their prize shop idea.

This year's event was extremely unfair to those that don't have all day to sit on Egg Cave and search. The others could be completed in perhaps and hour or two, and everyone had time spread out to complete it. I understand if this is supposed to try and make the Weggy more rare than the others, but it is still unfair to those that greatly enjoyed past hunts only to fall in front of this time-consuming roadblock.

@rockinsia -dead-
This is so true.
