So it says “Campaign event”. Does that mean we’re gonna get a new class for Red (since mini-campaigns are mostly associated with new headgears)? This is interesting news. When is it starting?

[GrauGeist]

If it’s not a class event, I’m going to ignore it.

[GrimmJow]

Me too. but Rovio haven’t teased any pics of new class :s

[Green Whacker]

I will play it just for fun.. won’t compete for top spots but just to stock up items just in case :-)

[Pointless]

@graugeist if it’s a Campaign Event, the rewards might well be 6K Mastery, so might be worth it, as frustrating as the wheel can be at the end.

[Green Whacker]

@pointless

Ain’t worth it for us folks who has everything maxed out. Unless they offer something that would make it our time worthy.

[Pointless]

@dragonofheart73 yes, I am one of those as well. My comment was for @graugeist who has three or four classes still below M12 and had a bad experience in the last Pirate King Event (where the reward was only 1.5K).
I probably still will play this new Easter Event anyways, seems like all the new PvE we’re getting, and replaying Caves is quickly becoming boring…

[datguygamer]

Well since I am maxed out, I’m not participating in this unless I get a new class.

[GrauGeist]

@pointless – I’m just farming for Frost 10 / TH 8; even +6k Mastery for ALL doesn’t matter. At best, it’s 24k total (12k each class), saving me a max 3,360 snouts, which I can farm pretty fast at SRC.

The only real interest is if we get a new class.

[Pointless]

Oh, come on…there must at least be a modicum of interest in finding out what frustrating glitch will be introduced in this Campaign Event? I, for one, can’t wait to waste Stamina on freezes…

Seriously though, I guess I’m in the minority here, but will take whatever I can get in “new” PvE content these days…sad, I know, but that also describes the state of the game

[GrauGeist]

Actually, it’s the reverse – the majority of players aren’t like us (50/12). We don’t drive the numbers, aside from the very top of Arena play.

[Pointless]

Sorry, ambiguous again. I was referring to being in the minority of 50/12 players that have so far posted about this upcoming Event in that I will actually play.

[GrauGeist]

Sure, but if it’s not unlocking a new class, what’s the point of spending all that time for useless Snouts?

[Pointless]

So what is the point of playing at all if you are 50/12? I don’t think many of us outright quit upon reaching the current max, and any Event, especially new ones, will certainly provide a welcome change to the mundane slog of Arena (and why are we playing this as well?)

[GrauGeist]

Right now, I’m playing for completion and habit. But I could easily see myself tapering down to collecting my daily freebies and then walking away.

[datguygamer]

@pointless Well I don’t know about others but I am currently playing the arena under the obsession of collecting all Arena items (tops, flags and emblems) and so far I have completely cleared out Wood (76 items), Stone (78 items) and Silver (80 items) Leagues. So that’s my personal goal at least.

[881kzdr]

Do you guys think a new bird will be given birth (by coming out from an Easter egg)?

[Pointless]

@datguygamer it really is about finding a reason to continue playing for those of us who are maxed, and if 100% collection is yours, more power to you. A word of caution: keeping all items causes lags upon opening the inventory screen and even can go so far as to cause repeated crashes upon attempting to open it. One member (sorry, have forgotten whom) has so many items built up that they cannot now change what any of the birds have equipped.

[datguygamer]

@pointless Yes, I know that too many items cause the game to lag but still I strut on and to be honest, my phone is an upgraded version of Note 5 with 5 Gb RAM so honestly the inventory still opens up fine for me (even though, yes, the game sometimes crashes but I am too obsessed with these things). You’ll be surprised to see how many things I’ve collected in ABE. If only the normal Golden Pig was as reliable as the Arena one. sigh

Btw, if I ever need help with item names and such, can I ask help from you? There are some items I need names/ pictures of and if you happen to have them will you help me?

[Pointless]

I certainly will try, but am probably not the best one to offer such help as I have purged my inventory, both Birds and Arena, to the bare minimum (meaning only set items).

[GrimmJow]

OMG ! Amazing !!!
Now class can be upgrade.

[mich]

It will be interesting to see if the new class upgrades are handled like the old class upgrades (like Ronin, Archmage, Moon Priestess, …), or if there is a difference. And if they’re like the old ones, will the new Elite Knight replace Ronin for those who have him?

[Jim151]

I hope the upgrades don’t have to be mastered up from 1 to 12. I have no interest ion farming for hundreds of thousands of snouts to do so.

[datguygamer]

So, Red’s Knight class is getting an upgrade: The Elite Knight and thus I will participate now. The question I have is: Does this mean that we can get more Mastery levels now? Also, this further means more class upgrades are coming soon. :D

[mich]

If the new upgrades are like the old ones, they will preserve the mastery levels of the previous class.

Since in my opinion, the Knight is the most useless class in the whole game, let’s hope the Elite Knight will be a real improvement. Ronin’s 10% more attack and health are not enough.
