And I really enjoyed the re-appearance of the old special buildings from last year's Carnival: the other mansion and the Masquerade Ball, both of which I was able to get in my cities that did not already have them. They are all beautiful, elaborate and look great in my cities. I like the event buildings, the gondola Market, the new Mansion, and the Grand Bridge (although none of my Bridges will ever get beyond level 3). I enjoyed the beauty, imagination and romance of the theme. Well, I have already done my share of complaining here in earlier posts, so I wanted to take the opportunity to express some of the things that I liked about the Carnival event. It really does not take a lot to figure that out. Something that will make your customers happy. It's just a matter of good business: if you are doing something the customers don't like, you stop it and do something different. It is very frustrating to feel that the people in charge are just sitting around saying "oh well, that didn't work" rather than fixing the problem. Or make the upgrades part of the "multiple prize" chest, but make the percentage of getting it much higher than any of the other prizes. Make the bridge upgrade a "single" prize, that players can get with their florins. It would not be necessary to rewrite pages of coding or re-designing the event. There was plenty of time before the event ends to do something about the problem. Yet, the designers have taken no action regarding this. I think we can all agree that the chances of getting even one upgrade, much less five, for each bridge, is unlikely. so for each person you read about that is stating their dissatisfaction, there are a few thousand who are not bothering, but are just as dissatisfied. And consider, the vast majority of players do not bother to get on the forum and air their complaints. Before this event was even halfway through, it was more than obvious that players were very dissatisfied with the extreme difficulty of getting bridge upgrades. The designers claim that they always look at the feedback on the forum, but if so, they are not taking any action regarding that feedback.
