"Solo instance"? Forgive me if I'm being dense, but what does this mean?
Now that the Winter Festival is over, I have a few observations:
- The NPC dialogue about "having Gronkandbonk beat" makes no sense unless you revive Monsters on Ice in its original form, at least some of the time. It would be cool if the demons decided to sit the event out from time to time. Event they might need the occasional coffee break.
- I wasn't keen on the fishing change and sat it out except for the first day to try it out. It felt too tedious.
- The speed boosts on the Twilight Run didn't seem to work at all unless you were on foot.
- The falling stars were a neat easter egg. Please continue adding things like this!
- The wintry stags in Nostura's realm could be a neat addition to next year's rewards. You'll have to fix it so it doesn't howl when grazing on the grass, though.
- I've now got enough redcap powries for an entire tribe of Amazon redcaps -- enough to mount my own war against the Iliyanbruen elves (or perhaps even against Malabog). You might want to introduce a different redcap companion so all those gals can have a chance at boyfriends, though. The Moonshae druid might be a bit too old for them.
- Now I really won't be able to see the NPC I'm trying to interact with when someone with a yeti mount jumps in front of me. Just saying.
- I will never get over how pretty Twilight Tor is. I think the only improvement I might make would be to make the Monsters on Ice area a little less bland by comparison. It needs something...I have no idea what, but definitely something to bring it more in line with the almost magical atmosphere of the rest of the map (not "magical" in terms of spells but in terms of being awe-inspiring). Snowmen? Lanterns? Goblin-themed snowmen? (goblins on ice, remember? That's where the Winterkill emblems come from, you know...) Maybe play a bit of Overlord II in your spare time for some inspiration (just the beginning parts where you are in Nordberg).
