Dev Diary Feedback: Spring Festival

[Clover]

“This Spring Festival will feature all of the games and good cheer that have been present in the past, but this year brings a sizeable new landmark to the festival grounds in the Horsefields, courtesy of a very talented gardener on the World Team.”

To learn more about this exciting new addition be sure to check out Lauren "Budgeford" Salk’s very first Developer Diary and join the discussion!

Oh sure make it a hunter that can't do the fence walk! Really excited for the maze!

[Solien]

Are there more ways to get Inn League rep during this festival? The pub runs are fun but at this rate I won't make Kindred until some time in 2015.

Looking forward to the new events at the spring fest! The hedge maze sounds awesome - great idea!

Yes, there are other ways to get it. There was a guide posted last week.

A maze sounds like a fun idea.

[maxmckay]

Looks very very Nice but doesn't say when the fest is running lol

[Linnysse]

The Maze looks like a really fun addition to the festival. So glad to see the developers working on improving the festivals. I look forward to them.

[Narthalion]

The Festival starts today, and they usually run for about two weeks.

The Hedge Maze is intended to bring players together for a new challenge that will take place in a more close-quartered public instance than we’ve seen previously in the game. There are chickens to be caught, Elves to be scolded, signs to be posted, records to be beat, and a very sinister surprise at the center of it all. I highly recommend joining the Inn League this year if you have not done so already.

A maze! Except, I noticed that the developer diary seemed to indicate it was tied to the Inn League by having included the Inn League in a paragraph entirely about the maze. Is it Inn League only?

That'd be too bad. I cannot advocate alcohol use anywhere, so I feel I may miss out.

Sorry, I wasn't specific enough in my post. What I meant was, are there new ways of getting Inn League rep if you've done all of the quests (which are detailed nicely in the guide posted above)? During the last fest, my only way of increasing rep was the pub crawls.

[Erlijus]

Is spring festival starting today ? It is not mentioned in patch notes so I was wondering.

[FWH-Praetor]

I believe it is. It was noted a week or two ago that's when it would start. I really hope it lasts a few weeks as I'll be without a PC for most of next week

[O'Buachalla]

GO GO Budgeford Salk!

Inn League Keg available this Festival? Had ours stolen from kinhouse

[TheOneRinger]

Inn League Keg available this Festival? Had ours stolen from kinhouse

In that diary it was mentioned that the Bullroarer stuff was back from the last spring fest. I believe the Keg was the primary reward that everyone wanted so I would think so. This time, get a back-up keg for your kinhall too

Hobnanigans?

[EnemyAbove]

Allow me to be the first ... err ... make that second... to extend a welcome to our latest Dev!

May the hair on your toes never fall out ... or be singed by the forum flamers!

[Pumpkinhead6]

I am at work can someone post the new festival horse?

[HeyDoMerryDew]

muwahahahahahahahah

The keg in the center of that maze is evil!!!

Run away!!! Run AWAY!!!!!

[HeyDoMerryDew]

I would post a picture of the horse but at the Bree festival grounds the starting ribbon was up and the saddles were there but no NPC and no horse in the stable... /bug

[Galahadur]

Any cook recipes like the ones last Spring?

I would like to get my hands on some tart recipes....

[Redbeaver]

that hobbit in the 2nd page looks evil....................

[Tolliver]

No festival quests at Duillond or Thorin's Hall?

[Manriki]

Actually there are three farming recipes for small furniture items as a result from quest turn ins at the maze, looks like its going to be another great festival!

[Shibi]

Mmmm, what a cool maze, with tasty chickens too (oops, did I say that out loud?)

The flower quest in Bree though was... interesting... so many high levels on mounts running around outside Celondim picking posies. I doubt I have ever seen so many people running to pluck the same bunch of flowers before. Nice tart reward for my efforts.

Well done Dev team. A festival I will remember (my first!)

[ararax2]

In all honesty Turbine really took player suggestions from the winter festival and made this one a blast!

1. In the winter festival the only way to get items were random luck from 1-2 per day per character boxes, doing pick up and return quests with little thought.
2. In the spring fest has a whole hedge maze with different quest tons of drinking and the ability to barter for items you want. As well as getting a bunch of boxes at once if you "feel lucky"

Great job!
