I think you missed the memo:
Yea, I missed it, thank you
Are these the floaters or additional rare quests?
The cynical (rational?) part of me is 99% sure theyâre the floaters - repackaged as if theyâre doing us a favour. Whereas itâs really a lot of extra work for us (well, more autoplaying) and means that they can say âyou got the 4 extra!â.
My poor english does not understand the word âfloatersâ and asking google did not help. Could you please explain more?
(BTW, it almost 12pm in my time, so apologize if i will see your answer later )
In this context, it means events that are not a part of the regular schedule, but rather can be moved (âfloatedâ) to appear anywhere on the event calendar.
We have a regular Rare quest each Wednesday, excepting the week of Omega. Any Rare quest that would appear outside that fixed Wednesday schedule is a âfloaterâ.
Those four quests are not attached to the usual rare quest time on the calendar (each Wednesday). Instead, they are allowed to âfloatâ to someplace in the calendar, yet to be determined. Except - for this year, at least - it seems that SGG has decided to float them to today and three days at the end of February and first of March. Gotta agree with @Ripobin_The_First 's cynical observation. It allows SGG to not give anything beyond what we were getting anyway, but package it as though itâs something special for the birthday week.
Todayâs additional Rare and the incoming extra 3 make up the +4 Rare Quests that Zynga promised when change was made to Rare Quests and Mirages.
Not extra/additional goodies from Zynga.
they is extra for bday they need to know we will not count it as extra we need to get by new schedule
and today extra is apology for sneek peak is late they said
While others have answered your direct question, Iâll also clarify that Iâve been insistently using the word âfloaterâ because SG, even from the time they announced the new, reduced Rare quest schedule, used the word âextraâ â which would seem to imply âbonusâ or âwe are doing you all a favor.â
In fact, the point of the floaters is to bring the number of Rare quests only up to the newly reduced level. âExtraâ or âbonusâ would, presumably, actually mean that SG was giving us more than they said they would when in fact
Yeeeep.
At least we are getting the floaters, which I was beginning to wonder about, given that none had happened, been scheduled, nor had we had any communication about them so âhaha whoops we just didnâtâ was starting to look like an increasingly likely and (extra-chintzy) outcome.
But trying to brand âwe previously gave you our word about some anti-favor floater questsâ as âthis is our big birthday gift to you â says plenty about SGâs brand these days.
and thereâs also no guarantee we will get them next year, is thereâŚ
Probably back for the next 8th birthday. The counting continues.
Thanks @GraevD and @Noble_Weasel to help me translate .
I dont mind 5 or 10 extra quests and whether it was promised before. It is not a big deal. At least i am glad to still have some WE flasks in store
OH, i havenât even start the CoE
They realised that they would have to wait 6 weeks for their next payday, when they get to milk the whales on the goblin portal.
Think they meant to say âhappy spleunkingâŚall your money away on our cash-grab goblinsâ.
Is there a portal coming with this goblin village? (My guess is yes, but it isnât stated)
If so, who is going to be featured? For that we need an oracle
Happy gaming!
âThe Oracle is currently unavailable. Please leave a voicemail after the beep.â
I will check later as nearly everyday.
But Atlantis AR will no longer be every 4 weeks? This time, in fact, itâs after 5 weeksâŚ
It will still be every 4 weeks/28 days⌠Itâs just the transition phase from the previous event cadence rotation to the new one that makes it 5 weeks apart only this ONE time.
Ok just this once thanks
