First of all: there are already several other threads here in the forum that dealt with the topic of the duration of Atlantis Rising. However, I think that the topic is just now becoming relevant again or is more relevant than before. After SG had focused on other things for a while, now more and more costumes are coming to Atlantis and I even heard rumors of brand new heroes arriving. So there is hope that SG might also be interested in restoring the original length of Atlantis Rises again, making their hero offerings visible for a longer period of time.
I don’t think I need to elaborate on how much an extension of the event is wanted and, more importantly, needed by the players. Atlantis Rising consists of two parts:
- The world energy cost is reduced by 3 and you get + 50% more loot. This is the most important part, the part we desperately need.
- There is a small chance to earn Atlantis coins in Atlantis Rising as well. This is also a very nice thing. If this is a problem in the renewal, I can recommend simply setting a limit, as is already the case with Season 3’s gnomes.
More than 400 players from the community here on the forum have voted to increase the time of Atlantis Rising again. You can read about it here: “Shorten Tavern of Legends in favor of restoring Atlantis Rises farming time”.
Also, since this event is important to many, if not all, players and you are relying on playing as many stages as possible here, it would be extremely helpful to put it back on a weekend. This could be realized without any problems.
The following events don’t actually require a reserved spot on the calendar, but can run in parallel with other events:
- Mystic Titan
- Soul Exchange (it would be incredibly nice if this event could appear monthly, if only to increase the hero selection)
- Tavern of Legends
- The Masquerade
No particularly elaborate, time-consuming gameplay required here, just a few consecutive quests to complete the event. A summoning portal that is open for a few more days in parallel does not disturb any further and can run parallel to other actions without any problems.
If one now bases the recurring cycle on a duration of 28 days, it results in 6 spots of 4 days each for the remaining events with 4 further break days, on which one could put even partly the tavern of the legends or the masquerade. Based on this current information on Event Cadence, only 6 spots a month are also currently needed to accommodate everything:
- Atlantis Rising (Season 2)
- Valhalla Forever (Season 3)
- Underwild (Season 4)
- Three Kingdoms War → Ninja Tower → Alliance Quest → Tower of Magic → ⟲
- Season 5
- Challenge Event
You see: I made a small change in combining the events, which I think makes more sense than the current one. Tower Events and the Alliance Event are very time and item intensive. Of course, you could cut one day off each event and add them all to Atlantis - you can dream - but a realization of the extension of the duration of Atlantis to 4 days as described above would already be an action that would make many players very happy.
- Long story short: Please extend Atlantis Rising again! Even if it should run parallel to other events, that would be better than the current, super-short version, which is not even on a weekend. Your players and your community will thank you! @Staff_SGG
Note: The calendar ideas presented above are merely drafts of mine, which can certainly be much better thought out and elaborated by others. @Zartanis I only wanted to show that there would be ways to realize the wish mentioned in the headline and thus to undo a change in the game that met with great incomprehension in large parts of the community and still leads to anger and resentment again and again. @Petri
