Lliira firework donation

nitocris83

We are aware of an issue where Lliira favors were given when donating just 1 firework. We are investigating the issue and will not be taking any action against players.

Quite frankly, it is not surprising people were using this....the prices for items in the store were so high that without it, even when doing nothing else, it was next to impossible to earn enough Liira's Favours to buy everything people wanted. the threshold of 200 and 500 are way too high.... lower them to 50 and 100, and this would be fair.....or lower the prices. This event felt just like an excessive cash grab .

Given the prices of items in the store, perhaps simply participating in the event should have awarded one token (not referring to the quest). I contributed quite a few fireworks to get nothing before reading on the forums that one firework granted one coin. I think I sill bought over 20 bags from the Zen market. Realistically a casual player stands almost no change of getting multiple items running this event. Every 30 minutes you donate fireworks AND you have to stay in PE to get the reward. This leaves little time to run other content. At least throw them a bone, maybe if they get some stuff they will spring for Zen to get the rest. From a player's perspective if the event doesn't guarantee a reward, then the fireworks are better off sold on the market. This brings me back to pricing. If your worry is players getting rewards every time and not spending Zen, just tweak the pricing. I'm happier to get one coin every time instead of zero nine out of ten times. Getting zero just feels like I wasted my time.

There was an event on?

I know I'm late to the party since the event ended but.... Yay let's take away something that benefits the player because our costs are stupid high and normal players will never be able to afford anything.

For me, donating the correct amounts usually got me nothing in terms of what I wanted. Donating just the one usually got me what I really wanted and I only had to repeat it a few times in the instances where the quest did not complete.

In my opinion, if donating the correct amounts had guaranteed an X amount of Lliira Favor (or even had the same RNG that was happening for the one firework donation) I would have done it the correct way all the way. Currently, the RNG for the extra Lliira Favor just makes it another event where I do the bare minimum needed to complete the daily currency quest(s) for maybe future purchases.

While I did not report this there were also instances where the quest completed before the fireworks event timer ran out. But, that only happened a few times when returning to PE from the Workshop or a Stronghold.

This is now 2022 and I am having problems placing the fireworks. It won't let me do it. Even after changing instances, trying /stuck, being defeated, restarting the game and PC, and waiting a new day. I have 8 characters on my account and slowly but surely they are no longer able to put down fireworks (and pick up favors). I am missing out and I don't know how to fix it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

How about the fact that the currency was capped at 300 and any rewards that went over the mark just failed to surpass 300?

Good buy extra vanity pets for many characters.

If it does not let you place fireworks for the quest it is because you completed the collect fireworks part of the quest without actually collecting 5 fireworks. Did this event on all 10 toons everyday and sometimes I had to go adventuring to get that extra 5th firework for the toon.

It would at least be nice if they stated the currency is capped at 300, like many others say. Instead you only find out when donating fireworks then realize after donating 100 Prof. Fireworks you got none instead of 20 favors.
