There you have it, over to you. Is this a must-buy, a maybe or a hard-pass?
Your thoughts might help any Addict who’s not made up their minds yet so please share your thoughts in the comments.
Back later with a look at the cash offering.
Yay he’s voiced! Finally. Thank you for the rundown. Torn between him and Goblinhouse. Goblin is not voiced but looks cuter and gets to run after a fluttery butterfly.. no one ever suspects a butterfly.. 🦋 🦋 🦋 🦋 If Melric had a job getting ganged up on by raccoons, I’d buy him instantly
Thanks for all the post and keeping us informed, not many replied or comments or opinions????
Thanks for the thanks 😊
The Icewalker post is going to be up in a little while and I’m torn between getting started on the Store Guide post for tomorrow or go get a beer or three and do it in the morning . . .
Beer’s winning so far !!
Well I don’t seem to have a mystery box again for this event. I hope I don’t get screwed out of donuts like I did in the last event where I also did not have a mystery box. I got nothing for any of my tokens.
I’ve got a couple of older cash offerings to go at and then I’ll see in act 3 what happens, but check the Currency section of your Store rather than wait for me. If it’s not there then perhaps once the event ends or they broke it again
Worked for me got my 12 donuts last night. I always speed my way through the MB part of the prize track if there’s nothing in the box as I don’t like working towards essentially nothing as 12 donuts isn’t a lot when you can farm.
Thanks for that, good to know.
When I get chance I’ll try checking the info against the xmas details and see if I can work out what went wrong there.
If I can I’ll try and pass that up through the AHQ team and see if it helps provide a fix for those.
Meanwhile Im’ juggling grinding – my 3 week old town hit Springfield Heights this morning – and getting the store info post done. Won’t be long now . . . hopefully.
I got my 12 donuts so it appears EA fixed that problem.
How many folk will put him on 4 hour tasks and never explore the others? Would it be that difficult for EA.
They used to do the questlines to show you each job but I guess a lot of people moaned it’d take days with the 1, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hour tasks to get through, but they often add a temp job for the quests now that’s just a 4h version of the longer ones
