As other people have said, the Knight Bus event would have been MUCH more useful if it had been advertised accurately:
------------------------------------
Knight Bus Spotlight Event
Wednesday, December 16 from 5:00 p.m.–11:59 p.m. local time
During this time, specific Fortress chambers in the Knight Bus will be more likely to reward the following Challenge fragment from successfully won Wizarding Challenges:
Extendable Ears from Tower Chamber V
U-No-Po o from Forest Chamber V
Skiving Snackbox from Dark Chamber V
------------------------------------
There was not even a hint that this was an extra reward, no mention about the extra energy reward, so the event didn't generate the kind of enthusiasm that fills chambers.
This could have been a really cool event if you had just told people about it. The Knight Bus is dying from lack of critical mass, and you ran an event with a huge buff and not only didn't tell anyone; from the ad copy it sounded like a decreased reward. Wasted opportunity.
In addition, early Knight Bus events had a visible mark to show whether you were eligible for the event reward or not; this is crucially important for events based on local time. (Or was it just random whether you got the reward or not? The semi-official infographics that people rely on implied otherwise.)
(As a side note, don't you think it's odd that names of objects *in the game* need to be bowdlerized to get past the forum auto-censor?)
Just found out about these events... Would have like to take part. You guys really need to fix the in-game announcements... Didn't even get a push notification at the time.
Comments
if wizarding weekend will be no more (replace by adversary event), maybe the rune rewards could be move to this spotlight event?
