will staff please consider putting their answers to questions in the/a new news post? why hasn't this been done already? come on, guys, you're really dropping the ball here. this event is already frustrating enough without having to dig for information that really should have been clear from the start. :/
Okay, so I got to the third event randomly! 3/5 done, hopefully the last two are done before I have to retire for the night.

@ShortAxel “For those afraid they won’t be online for every single obstacle/etc, we have plans for how you can help after setting up camp!”
I guess I'm gonna add to the complaining here.
Got the event to get some fruit for some lasirus blocking the path, but I've already visited Ikumoradeekanox today (before the plot started). So, I don't get the point for activity completion? That's not really fair...

@honiidew You're kidding... So I bought all that stuff for nothing now? I wish the instructions were more clear then...
This event is bullshit already. I've been playing on the site for the past hour now, to finally get to participate in an obstacle, only to find I actually can't feed a damn lasirus because I've already picked a fruit from the ikumoreadeekanox today... Please don't use daily things people do early on in the day for this, or at least give the option to manually feed them fruit from your inventory!!!
@Amber Can you please consolidate all your (and other staff members') answers to other members' questions into a FAQ or updated blue box or something or another? (updated in real time even) I'm sure many of us are having the same questions and having to hunt down answers in multiple locations is counterproductive and leads to redundant questions to you guys from people who didn't look in the right (non-obvious) place.
Why on earth did staff think it was a good idea to do a "stay glued to Subeta ALL DAY or no points plot"? Even better question, why did they decide to do it /right after/ schools started back up? This entire plot is incredibly poorly planned and managed so far. Extremely disappointing.
Well, since I can't be on the computer most of the day I guess this event isn't for me? :/ Thanks. The concept seems fun but I have no idea how I'm ever going to be able to actually get any team points.
I just bought a bunch of medical supplies too...and eventually the event disappeared..I thought the supplies would disappear, and they didnt...so we can sell them now.?
@nelmyda click on the items you purchase it's like handing the items over then it'll count as a task completed!
((I'm not sure if this has been asked yet....I'm a little daunted by the 200+ -laughs-
((Will there be an option to switch teams at some point? I'm really not morally okay with what Sag is trying to do and I love Matlal.
Sorry if that's stupid...))

i mean it would at least help if questions were getting directly answered. we don't know how the points/activities system really works, what our actual objective even is, a basic timeframe of daily events, a real explanation of how people are supposed to participate if they're not refreshing 24/7...we can't even get confirmation on whether the "forward" button does anything. and when an event does happen there's no explanation on how it works until it ends and you either get the point or don't. i'm trying to be patient about all this but it's pretty goddamn offputting when it immediately looks like nothing was fully planned out beforehand
So I bought like, 5 or 6 medical supplies during the obstacle that just happened and I'm still at 1/5? Isn't it supposed to go to 2?? This is so confusing...
@Amber Thank goodness! I thought I missed something. Also, I'm glad we'll be able to do something else at a later time if we miss some activities. Here's to a smoother day tomorrow for this event!
Different obstacles....
Now that makes more sense.
Doesn't seem like a third obstacle has come for Team Blake yet

I hope some of the time factors get removed :/ I find it baffling about how when planning an event you guys decided 'YOU KNOW WHAT WILL MAKE IT FUN? EXCLUSION. BASED ON OBSTACLES ACTIVE FOR LIKE 15 MINUTES. THEY'LL LOVE THAT.'
<3 for this plot in general though, I am super excited to have some Omen Action as I wasn't on site for the last one.
Also the sentient pineapples are freaking cute.

Seeing other comments, I'm very sad that this is time-based. I'm very work-heavy at the moment and the idea to progress the team to do said-activity at a certain time isn't inclusive for those who would like to do the plot and work at the same time.
I think it's sad that I won't be helping out my team so much if I missed a time where an activity's on but can't be on it as well as achieving the daily points. u_u

So... If you don't manage to do 5 tasks that day then you have to come back at an undetermined time?For those afraid they won’t be online for every single obstacle/etc, we have plans for how you can help after setting up camp!
Does the forward button do anything? I have clicked it about 75 times now and still nothing....

so like, you’ll need to complete 5 daily activities if you want that day’s share of plot points
are ppl getting docked points because they can't sit here refreshing subeta all day hoping they catch one of these events????
I'm really confused, I'm on 2/5 tasks but I didn't play Matlal's Jewels? I found a floating map piece with no idea what it was. When I went back to the page there was no indication of what to do with it. How did I get on 2/5? Why is staff being so silent right now? :pensive:
screams in sheer frustration PLEASE GET RID OF THE TIMED CRAP AND JUST SET PROGRESSIVE TASKS, ONE AFTER THE OTHER. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!!!!!
Enjoying the event so far ^_^.
Play the food game over and over and check the map every few games to check progress.
When something exciting happens the map will tell you by showing you a new picture and have some sort of text with a link in it.
Click the link to go to the next task.
Return to the map when task is complete and play the food game again.
I've completed my second task just by doing these steps over and over ^_^.
I don't have a lot of online time anymore due to real life but I will do the best I can to help out with the event as best I can :heart:.
The food game is so cute and it's good hand eye coordination excellent :D.

Everybody, go the forum groups and join a ping group for your respective team! We'll be pinged by other team members when there's something to do on the event page. Besides that, there's not much else we can do besides shoot at sentient food.

The bar that’s been added at the top of the page will be helpful when it comes to obstacles, so you guys don’t have to stay on the page refreshing! The activities are tied to food/obstacles, so you can’t complete them all right away.

also what's with this pointless forward button that literally just links back to the same page with no changes
don't make buttons that don't do anything :weary::weary:

So if I'm understanding this right, I basically have to hope I'm online and paying attention for the handful of minutes that any given "activity" is ongoing, yeah? Because that sounds like trying to catch a token shop restock in the worst way possible. I do honestly want to participate in a plot, but you're making this unnecessarily obtuse. It's discouraging, honestly.
I really doubt a pop up on the bar is going to help any. The tasks so far have gone by so blindingly fast, I didn't even know there was anything to do. I didn't even know there was a frog thing until I caved and went to the forums to see if there was ANY clarification on anything. (spoiler alert, there isnt) The team effort thing is neat, but it's proving to be very counterproductive for those not fast enough to get what's going on. By the time someone sees a task or obstacle, it's gonna be over with before they can figure out HOW to go about completing the task. This is exactly how I missed the apparently floating map pieces (yeah thanks for that missing detail by the way), or the frogs in matlal's jewels. The people on this site are eager and want to participate before missing out. That's exactly what's causing people to miss out. As for those that-and this is rather redundant- have lives, timely activities was the worst direction to take, on top of having it a group effort. You can't have both.
So, because I happened to not be online for the exact moment we had to play Matlal's Jewels (thank you, cat, for vomiting down the hallway)... I can't get further than 1/5.
Fantastic. There goes my enthusiasm for this event. :/

How do we know when it's time to get to a new event or deal with an obstacle? Do we have to be lucky enough to have just hit the 'forward' button a few moments before? Tried pushing 'forward' numerous times and nothing seems to happen...
Since the entire game page refreshes when we replay the game, I don't suppose you guys would consider giving us the option to have more ammo? For if we wanna sit and have an extended hunt while waiting for the next steps? It's already infuriating me :P
I feel really stupid! Don't get what I'm supposed to do beyond the lame food gathering game - once?
@Amber
Please tell us how to get to the 3rd task! The 'forward' button does nothing, I've 'gone hunting 3 times (I think) and now I'm stuck and wondering what to do next. Help is definitely needed.

Unfortunately, I'm uncertain how much of an advantage we really have where energy/supplies go when you can go hunting an indefinite number of times.
Wait a minute, so I already missed the second task? Yeah, so much for participating in this event.
We need more resource-gathering activities and/or activities that can make the carriage go a little faster, either would work as long as they can be completed anytime during the day & it would still make sense plotwise (whereas I can see where perpetual obstacles would be bizarre). C'mon guys.
sorry team steele those in Europe have to sleep ... hope things make more sense in the morning
