Hi Again Mod Sabre,
Firstly, thankyou for responding and understanding my concerns. It can be frustrating sometimes when you feel like you're talking to a wall, and you've really helped to relieve some tension.
I'd like to clarify some points:
"MMG mentioned in this thread that our teams were looking for ways to make SoF more subtle and less in-your-face".
I'm glad about this, but am concerned that the overt advertising will simply shift to another part of in-game content. Adding a tab on the noticeboard could be a subtle way to keep the content in-game without overtly 'advertising' to the player. Alternatively, purchases from the solomon's store highlight the icon you need to click on to view these enhancements. A glowing icon for the SOF spins would be another great way to avoid the "in-your-face" behaviour.
"Holiday items are just that - available for a limited amount of time during that particular holiday event. Otherwise they would just be regular items.
I do understand that holiday items should be removed or reduced over time, as long as the timeframe is reasonable. One of my concerns here is that the artists' efforts are not appreciated. Reusing content is always gold, so perhaps these could be introduced in future years in different styles, for example.
"XP rewards and coins have been balanced by our teams as per player request... players were not able to buy 20-30 xp lamps, the amulet, or coins, they were buying spins on the wheel and had a chance to win those items"
The rate of lamps received is about 1/3 based on personal experience and illustrated by numerous youtube videos. While this is a chance, the long-term probability implies that players will receive between 20-30 lamps of choice per 75 spins (possibly with bonus spins), which is ~150k/hour in a skill of choice. If this rate is not the intent, it may need to be adjusted. Alternatively, I would be much happier to see pendants rather than lamps as suggested by others.
Thx Again
