Are these the floaters or additional rare quests?

The cynical (rational?) part of me is 99% sure they’re the floaters - repackaged as if they’re doing us a favour. Whereas it’s really a lot of extra work for us (well, more autoplaying) and means that they can say “you got the 4 extra!”.

My poor english does not understand the word “floaters” 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 :yum:)

In this context, it means events that are not a part of the regular schedule, but rather can be moved (“floated”) 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 “floater”.

Those four quests are not attached to the usual rare quest time on the calendar (each Wednesday). Instead, they are allowed to “float” 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 it’s something special for the birthday week.

Today’s 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 :wink:

and today extra is apology for sneek peak is late they said

While others have answered your direct question, I’ll also clarify that I’ve been insistently using the word “floater” because SG, even from the time they announced the new, reduced Rare quest schedule, used the word “extra” — which would seem to imply “bonus” or “we are doing you all a favor.”

In fact, the point of the floaters is to bring the number of Rare quests only up to the newly reduced level. “Extra” or “bonus” 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 “haha whoops we just didn’t” was starting to look like an increasingly likely and (extra-chintzy) outcome.

But trying to brand “we previously gave you our word about some anti-favor floater quests” as “this is our big birthday gift to you :wink: “ says plenty about SG’s brand these days.

Probably back for the next 8th birthday. The counting continues.

Thanks @GraevD and @Noble_Weasel to help me translate :smiley: .
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 :wink:

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 ‘happy spleunking…all your money away on our cash-grab goblins’.

Is there a portal coming with this goblin village? (My guess is yes, but it isn’t stated)

If so, who is going to be featured? For that we need an oracle :wink:

Happy gaming! :cupcake:

“The Oracle is currently unavailable. Please leave a voicemail after the beep.”

I will check later as nearly everyday.

But Atlantis AR will no longer be every 4 weeks? This time, in fact, it’s after 5 weeks…

It will still be every 4 weeks/28 days… It’s just the transition phase from the previous event cadence rotation to the new one that makes it 5 weeks apart only this ONE time.
