SMH 1 stupid yellow fairy short to get the steed. Wasted so much energy just to get a beast to spawn for the last chest and only got one lousy fairy!
I love the look of the characters and their animations are great. Fern is so delicate dusting her dress, and Favio’s wink cracks me up. Great job, S8! What seems odd to me is the event storyline. Thurston from the beginning has been a scaredy cat and there is nothing I can recall in the main storyline about Thurston and Ivy knowing each other previous to their time in the Glimmerwood. Sometimes event characters can become part of the larger story (e.g., Agnes) but this completely contradicts the main story. I’m considering it non-canon, lol. But at least the characters look like they belong in a medieval kingdom. They shall stay out.
Another day in Team Lava Land, another collection of coins, another trip to that change machine at the grocery store...
I agree with RonjaR82 and many others who are not satisfied with this event.
Yes, I was able to finish it by paying 20 gems for the missing part, so I could upgrade the statue to the level 6, and I have set timer in the evening and part of night to get enough collections. So I got both Favio and Fern, but there are too many annoying and frustrating things in this event. The things that annoyed me the most: 1. Necessity to baby-sit the game and come back after every 2 hours - and that during New year related celebrations, why you do it, S8? 2. The fact that sometimes Troll Camp didn't drop the item even after 3 collections. 3. Adventure wanted Golden Nugget which is most rare from all 3 gold items. 4. I sent out more than 10 adventures and didn't get the sheep. 5. Useless prizes from Faerie trades and this time very greedy faerie drops in the Faerie chests. There are some more frustrating things but these ones are the most annoying ones.
The prizes from past events are not good, for example, Tiny reindeer is not giving any good drop despite 7 days collection time. Drops of Fern is not useful for me as well.
Now let's see how often will Favio give gold items, and whether he will drop nuggets as well (I am always maxed on golden eggs and golden apples as they drop most often). If Favio drops will also be useless, I must seriously consider whether to take part in the next event. IMHO, an event should be either easy or give a good prize. But baby-sitting the game again and again, taking the time for that from the precious holiday events with family, from work, from sleeping time - it is not the way I want to play CastleStory.
Sorry for my sad song - normally I always try to bring positive points as well, but not this time - but my only aim posting this long complaining text is to convince the S8 team to make changes. We know they read our forums, so I hope if many of us will tell the same, S8 team might listen to us and offer compromise.
This was,a,waste time event. Rinse and repeat stuff. If u want the rewards to show u are a completer. Then go for it.. did not see a reason to effort for something i and many have already. If your gonna have an event like this have more then freaking Gold Drops..

I agree this event wasn't a good match for the holidays, mainly because of the known (S8 knows we hate it) frustrating element of random Troll Camp drops with such a long waiting time.
It feels like the real 'happy holidays' time in Castle Story is Halloween.
The past 2 years have been amazing and generous in prizes/ deco's and extra event overlapping challenges.
Christmas/ New Year doesn't emit the same festive spirit and that's a shame, because some people like me are more into Christmas than Halloween.
Don't be sorry, you're just being honest. (and that's what this forum is for)
I think a lot of people feel the same way.
I always try to be positive too, but I'm not gonna fake it if I'm not feeling it.
