idk if I am just glitched,
but that community bar has not moved more than 29% in the past couple days for me

do we get a reward from it? or is it just showing progress overall?

The team did say that they'll be keeping an eye on the progress bar and adjusting it based on how far (or not far) players go.

So far, I agree that I don't really see them making any effort regarding that, or, for that matter, making it any easier to find the fragments on the site like they said they would.

Hi there, a question--how come the Stolen Voice outfit can only be bought using Paypal, but for gold and manaas we can use Visa/Mastercard? Why isn't the same option given to the Stolen Voice outfit? Is there a way that I can still buy the Stolen Voice outfit without using Paypal? Because I don't have Paypal

Live life and have fun

Maybe you can report that in assistance or even file a ticket to Beemov for it. I noticed that too but I didn’t think much of it at the time.

The event is really nice, but the fragments are still little bit hard to find even after the update.

I bought 600 gold but didn't get given the bank outfit, what is going on?

Is this yet another event that doesn't work properly?

Did you purchase the Musical Pack from the bank or just the coins?

I am seriously lost looking for fragments!
i've looked all around the site, both origins and new era!

I wish they were actually easier to find. larger? yes. easier to click? yes. actually easier to find? no.

Also finished the event. I was a bit nervous of getting duplicates, but it seems I had good luck in this event. I didn't suffer from any of the reported bugs. The illustration is okay, the colors of the items weren't too weird (except for some of Huang Chu's), I was able to get the map companion, and Blobby is finding a lot of stuff on the map. I don't know if we'll be able to get the meter companion unless they boost it up. It's going up a bit faster than before, but not enough to get to 100% before the event ends, specially if the people who have finished it won't be finding more fragments to add to the meter. I didn't have any problem finding the fragments on the site, there were only six? places they appeared, all of them shared here in the forums. I just checked those and I didn't have any trouble finding them, no more than 10 mins the day my conection went worse and the pages didn't load properly. It was a nice event, and I hope they keep this format with the minigame/adventure and the event map for all the events.

In this event, the bank outfit comes in a specific pack, not after at least 1500 points of purchase as before.
You can see the pack in the middle of the bank page, and there's the price on the bottom of the image. If you click on it, you can buy the whole pack, you get the outfit in the color you want, some maanas and some gold coins.

Today's voice fragment in the attic

Since I already finished the event, the fragments I find are rainbow fragments that help advance the community meter. No outfit piece comes with it.

---

My companion completely failed to bring back a voice fragment today. I sent in help request because honestly that's ridiculous and should not be happening

Finished the event today and I've gotta say, I actually really like it. The outfits are really pretty, and the companion was actually easy to find for me. I love the exploration map, and I hope they keep bringing us maps for every future event because it gives everyone a chance to get clothing items from past years. I also like the way we didn't have any annoying minigame for this event and we didn't have a timer in between objectives. We could easily log on once a day, get the daily voice fragments, and be done. And of course the illustration was beautiful, just wish it included the LI's too.

The only complaints I have is that finding the hidden voice fragments is sometimes weird. I never had any real trouble, but it was odd that sometimes they only seemed to appear on the app version of the game for some reason. On the app, I would see a voice fragment on the minigame page, then I'd check it on the web version, and it was nowhere to be found. Also, the community meter seems to be difficult to increase. I assume there are players participating every day, but the meter is barely moving. I really hope Beemoov gives us a hand like they said they would if it doesn't reach the goal because the companion is way cuter than the exploration one in my opinion.

Overall, I think this was a really good event just with a few wonky mechanics.

so..just found the voice fragment on the site...my second one earned today. guess who did not get the reward for it. the thing shows that i found the voice fragment on the site but i did not get a reward for doing so. odd huh? a friend of mine said the same happened to them earlier today. anyone else have this issue?

Guess I'll give my quick review. I still have Karenn's outfit to complete but I only really cared about Koori's and I just finished hers today so, may as well.

Event:

Very inconsistent. What could have been very simple was made unfun because Beemoov just always has to make simple Events unfun. The Voice Fragments are too damn hard to find. Yesterday, I didn't find one at all. That was my third day of this Event being unable to find the Fragment. At what point is Beemoov going to narrow down the locations to a set handful and not literally every possible page on the whole site? The other aspects are fairly doable which makes missing that last 1/3 that much more irritating.

And Beemoov has also once again screwed us with this server meter because at this rate, we're not going to finish in time without them boosting it. IDK why this happens every time; they should have a better grasp of the active playerbase by now and set the goal accordingly.

Companions:

No real comment. Neither of them interested me in particular so I didn't go out of my way to find the Exploration Companion. I only ran into it once but was AFK and missed it, but I'm not losing sleep over it. The Legendary one looks cool but...looks like we probably won't get it unless Beemoov pities us.

Outfits:

Overall just...meh. The last few Events have all had extremely underwhelming outfits. My expectations for them are non-existent at this point and I just hope for a handful of pieces that I like, such as Koori's ears and hair.

Illustration:

Haven't seen it yet, so no comment.

Overall:

It's just really disappointing how little effort Beemoov is putting into Events these days. I understand things got thrown out of whack because of the fire, but even before that the Events were still either unfun, had underwhelming outfits, were too hard to 100%, had some aspect locked behind a paywall, were bugged, or some combination of all those things. I have more than enough clothes that I really like at this point, same for Companions. So I'm not clamoring for anything specific. I'd just like a really fun Event again, something with effort and doesn't just fall flat in some way or feel like a chore to finish.

I got the last fragment today and finished the event. (I should have finished yesterday but my companion didn't bring back the exploration one)

Have you ever tried programming a game? It's not as simple as you might think.

I guess they created this searching aspect to make the event more challenging, so that we actually do something and not just get everything for free (and I'm not talking about money here, when I say free). Apart form not receiving my recharge for a day, and the problem with the price of the bank outfit, I haven't experienced any other bugs during the event. I found all fragments on the site every day, my companion always found one, and I didn't have to give her potions to find it. I'm sorry for those who experienced bugs, and I hope they can still finish the event. Until the end of the event, I will share the location of my daily fragments (maybe add an image as well). Today, I found it in my inventory, bottom right corner.

Regarding the community meter, they said they would keep an eye on it, and adjust it if needed. We still have about three days of the event, I assume if they change anything, it will be around the end. I think they thought everyone would find all fragments almost every day, and calibrated the meter accordingly. But since not everyone could get the three fragments all the time, it goes slower than they expected it would go. They know how many people play, and there was no problem with this kind of community meter on the Valentine's Day event. I guess it was the first and they kind of underestimated how fast we would finish it, and that's why we were done around the middle of the event. The Easter event meter was buggy at first, and that's why it did not move for a long time, but when they fixed it, it advanced nicely, and we finished about a day or two before the end. This time, I assume it would have happened like that as well if the players completed the missions as they had thought we would. So there's no problem with setting the goal. Naturally, they don't want us to fill it in a day or two, rather by the end, so that there's actually a point to have it in the event.

...Or why not remove this stupid rule in the first place and reward the companion to everyone who participated in the event no matter if they are online or offline at the moment it reaches 100%?!...

... Pulling off the excuse that "programming" in hard is just whiny and invalid in their case, since they have a whole damn team and also get real life money for the so called "quality of the game"...

Two things.

First: there's no such rule you wrote. In the previous events like this one with the meter, I got the companions even though I was offline the moment the event ended. I got the message the day after both on this and my Hungarian account. And I haven't seen people complaining. Everyone was happy they got a legendary companion.

Second: they are not trying to excuse themselves by saying programming is hard. I have no idea where you got that idea from. I mentioned it, because I replied to a post that was saying making the events is simple.


I don't play MCL, so I can't say anything to that part without knowing exactly what happened there. I have not seen the description/rules of that event, so from where I stand, it could have been a misunderstanding from the players regarding the rules, and it could have been a "d move" from the team, as you said.

No one insinuated that programming was easy.

Beemoov's problem is that they do this every time. I think there was only one Event with a meter that actually functioned properly, the rest have needed Beemoov to step in and fix it after the fact. That shouldn't be the case. If they can't figure out how to properly program the meter to reflect the playerbase, they should just leave it out of the Event.

As I said, Beemoov calibrated the meter right this time, they just didn't assume players would have a really hard time finding the fragments.

If everyone completed all three missions every day, there wouldn't have been a problem at all, and the meter would have advanced a lot faster. They set the goal correctly, and it was up to us to find all three pieces, which again, was not hard. Yes, there was a bug with the position of some fragments (in the bank when players couldn't click it because it was behind the little tab), and that's why some people couldn't get it, but it was fixed fast, and they gave us extra time because of the early hardships. And I guess the team assumed after fixing that bug, players would finally be able to get everything, but they still couldn't find the fragments, which I don't think was Beemoov's fault.

And I still find it hard to believe that so many people had issues with finding the fragments, especially after all those posts saying where others had found them from the first day, and gave advice on where to look. So I'm starting to think that those, who always complained, did not read those posts, and that's why they had a hard time finding the fragments. I read all of them, and I followed the tips, and I had no issues with the event neither here nor on the Hungarian server. Was that luck? I don't think so.
