I guess this is due in a few minutes if schedule holds…

[Steve9999]

Thanks @zephyr1. Pleas help me understand why its acceptable to have these images of the new costume event published before the event starts? When usually we have to wait till the events actually start. Thanks

We asked for permission from the Small Giant Staff to use some small bits from Beta for this, so it could be published in advance.

It’s actually only the Costume Keys screenshots from the Quest and the stage background that @cap really ended up needing from Beta anyway. Everything else has been in the live game already.

[Pilcho]

I won’t mind if delayed a short while… might get another mail with 5 free keys again!

(By “short while” I of course mean no more than 5 mins hehe)

[zephyr1]

@Pilcho

The Small Giant Staff already confirmed they plan to send some more Costume Keys:

@Petri

Hi, I just wanted to follow up on this announcement that we are indeed looking into donating some Costume Keys for all players who are eligible for this feature (level 18+). You should find some keys in your Inbox once the next Costume Event begins.

[bobiscool]

1 key per minute delayed… I’ll wait for a couple of hours at least

[Pilcho]

Confirmed, 5 keys in mail… ty SGG!

[LogBomb]

The gate is available but not the quest, weird

[zephyr1]

@LogBomb If you force quit and reopen the app, you’ll see the Costume Quest.

[RockEmSockEm]

The graphic is wrong already. The 1st boss was costume Tyrum - not Bane. The second was costume Li Xiu and Tibs.

[Guvnor]

so cute!!!

[zephyr1]

Sounds like it changed from Beta, I’ll let @cap know, thanks!

[Obsidian]

I have the costume portal but no quest. I got the three keys but the quest isn’t anywhere. I’m 2 yeas in so I know where to look.

Its 7 am ET in NOrtheast US. Never had issue before.

[Aquaginera_7DD]

It should be there now. Try shutting down the app and reopening it.

[Obsidian]

Its there. Jumped the gun i guess.

@zephyr1 looking forward to your analysis on the cost of the costume key offer

[AngelOfDark666]

Holy s***, the 3rd stage sucked up my auto farm team with 3,5k TP, had to switch to manual on the boss stage, lol.

@bobiscool

@zephyr1 looking forward to your analysis on the cost of the costume key offer

I look at it as (in USD):

300 gems = $1.50, based on the cost of gems during the first Challenge Event offer, which is about the cheapest price on gems normally offered, other than Atlantis or VIP

5 Costume Keys = 300 gems = $1.50, based on the cost of a 10 pull (I don’t give the more generous valuation of 350 gems for a single pull)

---

So I value the offer at $3, i.e. I see it as having the same value as the offers in the game that have about the lowest price on gems.

---

My suggestion would be that players who want Costumes, and also want to spend more per month than the total cost of VIP ($5), Atlantis gems/coins ($8 for 1600 gems and 100 Atlantis Coins), Challenge Event Offer 1 ($5 for 1000 gems), and Challenge Event Offer 3 ($5 for 500 gems and 5 WE Flasks) may want to consider this offer.
