When Changes are Necessary
Hope EA read this post because I think it's important ...
As we are probably all aware, this event has brought out some very strong opinions from people enjoying it to people hating it. My opinion is towards the "meh" aspect - I enjoy it for the magical theme but am disappointed by the overall tone and lack of spookiness.
Now for the rest of the event what do we expect EA to do? They can only do nothing, right? Well, here's what I think ...
Apart from quickly fixing bugs and little errors EA almost never change events and I think this is a problem. Now I definitely don't mean just scrap the event and write a new one, I mean that EA should listen to people and make little changes that could spark enjoyment for some angry tappers.
Some people wanted murky water ... Give them murky water!
Some people wanted trick-or-treating ... Release the Nightmare Pile or somehow bring it back.
Some people find the rounded dark edges annoying ... Tone them down but add a spooky, dark overlay instead.
Some people wanted the Magic Monorail to have extra elements and give out event currency ... Add some items to make the monorail customisable and make it give out currency!
See what I mean? Little things like this will overall not turn a bad event good (not saying this is a bad event!) but owning up to little mistakes and trying to please people isn't a sign of cowardness - it shows that EA listen to people and want the best for people.
What I'm trying to say in this post (and will probably get misunderstood by someone!) is that EA should adapt to their mistakes, add some content, make some changes and know that this can be done without scrapping the event and whilst still looking professional.
Hope people understand and can see the point that I've made and can try and find something to enjoy in this event (I'm designing my nuked Springfield!) - have a great day and Happy Tapping :D
