Santas Gift Event Clarification?

in General Discussion
So, I have several questions with this event

Phase one - login event. Simple enough
Phase two - Complete the towers OR get the soulgem pack - is the complete the towers just anytime between when they came out and when the check for the event comes?
Phase three - The new pets...SOME are under the impression, that you just need to have them in your pet bag at any point, while the text seems to state that you need them in your pet bag the day of the check.

What is the exact date of the check? I have two slots in my pet bag, have both pets, but I'd like to keep my mount also when possible.
Do you need to have both pets hatched in your bag at that exact time to get the rewards?

    As far as i know, Someone corrrect me if I'm wrong.
    phase 2 complete tower (all 108 floors) at any time during the santa checklist event. the other event regarding the tower with specified check dates and time is a completely seperate event.
    phase 3 if you want both the ring and the cape, you will need to have both pets in pet bag, when they check. I'm assuming they check periodicially, but to be on the safe side i would have both pets in pet bag at least a day or two ahead of the end date and time of santa checklist.

    wtf, OP has a reasonable question your additional question is... answered literally in the second sentence of the event announcement. everyone who said only need 1 check only you should BL, delete, and/or shoot in the face.

    Mosz, who would ever think you and I would agree on something? I have been talking to a couple players who got information from Sutr, saying that they just need to have a screenshot of the pets in their pet bags. Meanwhile, the way the wording is on the posting makes it sound like we need them in our bag when the check is done (which makes sense)

    All I wanna know is which is true, and WHEN the check is being done @thenamesdomino

    finally, it has been asked in a dozen times already over the past weeks (at least twice by myself)
    to semi clarify what we are asking: are all 3 checks done at once? is having any of the requirements automatically flagged on your toon or is there a set moment the server does a check

    follow up, who is the **** that decided that one of the checks is a boutique only item that on average requires opening $1,500 USD of packs?.. yah thats a real "gift"

    If thats the case then why don't they give us a fixed date. Like most people i can't finish Heavenfall in a day so unless i do the pack one i have to make sure i get it done every time it resets? like really? Please PWI clarify this... also, they have a history of leaving things out in announcements so its understandable that someone misunderstood it.

    Also, the checklist says to get a soulgem pack or complete the tower. The soulgem pack turns into a sparkle pack after putting it into ur invent, do we have to open the sparkle pack in order to fulfill that part, or keep the sparkle pack closed?

    that was my concern. i have not opened the pack but since the items comes from either charge rewards or CS, there is definitely paper trail they can check for this item.

    If you get the pets, you need to keep the pets in the bag.

    Once you've redeemed the soulgem pack, it is all good. You can do whatever you want with that pack.

    We will run our data check on Jan 05,2016.
    Any item received after 01/04/2016 won’t be counted.

    so sharing a pet doesnt work...thats for telling us a month into the contest, pets that cost on average over $1000USD to open from packs

    you see nothing wrong with that domino?

    Sharing a pet never sounded like it would work at all, hence the price those pets go for in WC. we all knew from the beginning that if it came out a pack it was not going to come cheaply so as far as that i think that was never a question. i mean they have a $1200 spend reward tier that can be completed more than once.... and S cards in charge rewards for 8K. would I have preferred they use a pack that spawned more of those pets than a normal pack would? absolutely, but soon as i saw the packs i knew exactly what the case was.

    I don't think domino has any say on the promos, and even if he did it would be foolish of him to voice his displeasure seeing as he cant do anything about it and it will only reflect poorly on his job.

    fair enough, rereading the event announcement i guess it does imply no sharing

    so seems they purposefully made it work different than ...every other check

    are the pets to be in your pet bag or in the inventory bag?
  • thenamesdomino

    Inventory

    Will it work if they are in the pet bag? Or do we need to revert them to egg form and keep them in our inventory?
  • dagoddominator
    dagoddominator Posts: 218 Arc User
    yea @thenamesdomino that is a pretty valid question. does the pet need to be in the inventory or the pet bag or is there a difference. I have the egg hatched and in my pet bag thinking that was the intent.
  • thenamesdomino
    thenamesdomino Posts: 545 Perfect World Employee
    I was told it needs to be in the inventory
  • dagoddominator
    dagoddominator Posts: 218 Arc User
    i will un-hatch it then and keep in inventory. thank you so much for helping to clarify that issue @thenamesdomino

    So the pet must be in our inventory on January 4th? Just asking now since I don't want to be lugging some 200m pet in my inventory for weeks.​​

    So hey @thenamesdomino i really want to make sure this is right a lot of players paid a ton to get the pets
    and from the news from origonal post for event says pet bag
    Santa’s Checklist Item Three:

    Obtain a Battlebot pet from a Glowing Energy Core pack, the auction house, or a friend. You must use the pet on your character and keep it in your pet bag to get credit for this check.

    Let's all take a moment. I'm hearing what's essentially the same question reworded and twisted and it's confusing just about everyone here including myself.

    Again here are the answers I received from the producer:

    Question: Do the players need the items in their bag or can the item be in their pet bag?

    Answer: They need to keep the pets in their bag.


    Question: The checklist says to get a soulgem pack or complete the tower. The soulgem pack turns into a sparkle pack after putting it into ur invent, do we have to open the sparkle pack in order to fulfill that part, or keep the sparkle pack closed?

    Answer: Once they redeemed the soulgem pack, it is all good. They can do whatever they want with that pack.


    I will ask for further clarification if you need me to. It will take a little time since they had to go to china to meet with the devs.

    getting more clarificaton on the pet thing would be great and i know you are trying but just worried seeing as what they told you goes against the event post

    domino really and truly did just clarify your question. it was clarified before you asked it.

    you get the pet, keep the pet egg in your inventory until the check is complete after 1/4. nothing more, nothing less.

    and yes @thenamesdomino certainly responded quickly and as completely as he could given the responses he got. the CMs were never the problem, its the rest of the production and marketing crews and their inability to communicate clearly or effectively. we should not need to open forum topics to explain what a news post meant or to basically receive the instructions that SHOULD have been in the original marketing post. a little clarification is understandable but the last couple of promos aside from spend/charge/login rewards were so terribly worded i'm surprised anyone understood them.
