Not sure if this should go into general or suggestions, but just wanted to give my feedback on the different Thanksgiving events while it's early and potential adjustments can still be made.
- Feed the Poring
Pretty okay, not too much of a hassle. I noticed people were able to use Back Slide and Body Relo in the event map however, so that might lead to non-AC/Inqui players being at a disadvantage. The wiki says only seven stations are active at the same time, I feel like maybe there might be difficulties if there's not enough stations and there are plenty of participants in more active hours. Maybe add one or two stations? It might also be a result of my bad RNG, but I didn't even see some of the stations pop up. IMO I think the 50 point requirement for the egg could also still be lowered to give people some more wiggle room (those who could mostly only get low point food, those who don't have stations popping up near them by chance too much, etc)
- Protect the Pot
Easily the most okay out of the events. Not much to add, except maybe it might be nice if our stone count could be displayed in the chat and not just by talking to the NPC? Not sure on the other event maps, but BBG also ticks down here unfortunately so I hope it's adjusted so that the timer gets paused.
- Thanksgiving Kitchen
Unfortunately, kind of a mess atm. It looks like you're all working together at first, but the fact there's an element of sabotage that can make you lose points feels counterintuitive to the idea of cooperation. It never said in the wiki someone can toss your delivered ingredient out of the cooking station, so I was suprised when I consecutively lost points because people kept chucking out my deliveries. I think I lost around 4 points the first time I joined this event, so if I was really unlucky and couldn't make up for those losses I wouldn't have been able to qualify for the Helping Paw Egg at all despite my efforts to add to the stations. Losing points alone already felt like a bummer, so idk I would've been really annoyed if I did participate but lost all my points without my control. Sure I could replace someone else's ingredient with mine but now knowing it causes a lost point I kinda feel bad if I do and I don't really want to hinder other people's chances of getting the reward. Personally I'd like the point loss mechanic to be gone as it just encourages selfish play atm, it's fine if people take out your stuff but the fact remains that you already tried to particpate by doing your deliveries properly, so you SHOULD be able to keep that point.
There's also no consolation prize for failing to hit the 80% requirement. Considering the amount of effort it takes for everyone, it would be nice if at least we get some pity coins or something.
Overall, aside from the Kitchen which doesn't really feel enjoyable to me atm, the Thanksgiving event feels quite chill and okay! Thank you GMs for your hard work putting these together, especially since they're all new types we never had before. ^^ I hope you can consider some adjustments to make it ever friendlier to everyone! (if anyone else had feedback, feel free to share too)
