Title: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 04, 2010, 11:37:25 am
Let's celebrate Easter together ! =)

Ten Easter eggs are hidden in California, on public maps (They are not in players tents/bases etc.).
You can search for them and get an amazing reward of 5000 caps and 5000 experience points !

Please note that only 3 were hidden in non-guarded towns.
There is no time limit for this event.

Once you found one (or more) of them, please post here with the name of the char that got the egg and will receive the reward and the place you found the egg, you'll soon meet a GM in-game that will deliver your reward.

With so few eggs, why not either increase the reward or increase the amount of eggs?
It seems that with 10 eggs over all the maps you'd gain more caps and exp using the time to find one any other way.

Except that it's not a hard work and does not require skills. Reward is as small as possible not to break game's economy.

Sometimes I think, that regardless what devs/GMs create there is still someone who complains about it.
Man, this is just a little funny event because of eastern, you find a egg - lucky one! If not, than it doesnt matter.

Post by: Aricvomit on April 04, 2010, 01:11:59 pm
so the eggs are in any common map and not just towns?
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 04, 2010, 01:13:47 pm
Yes, Aricvomit.

Post by: Aricvomit on April 04, 2010, 01:47:49 pm
i really hate to post again but i was wondering if the eggs were out on the map or hidden in say a shelf or a foot locker, at the moment im digging through everything i can, kinda worried ill miss something.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 04, 2010, 01:56:59 pm
They can be hidden everywhere on a map, except on critters.

Because the GMs created something it should be free from critique?

Of course not. But why not take it as it is - just a little event for fun and not another way of getting xp as fast as possible?

10 eggs vs 500 players online in rush hours. 2% will get lucky. Imho more easter eggs with lesser bonus. Like 100 eggs each with 2k exp+caps.

None has been found yet, and it's sunday. =)

Post by: Aricvomit on April 04, 2010, 03:03:12 pm
ive been searching hardcore, theres just a bazillion places they could be since they can be located on shelfs, i spent about an hour and a half searching *part* of san fran.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 04, 2010, 03:24:32 pm
Well, you're right, world is quite big and there's only ten eggs. I wouldn't say you should spend hours looking for them, though. And very few are in cities.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Aricvomit on April 04, 2010, 04:42:28 pm
any way we could get a picture of what it looks like as an item on the ground? i have no idea what im actually supposed to be looking for outside of an egg picture that im assuming is the item pic from the inventory.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 04, 2010, 05:04:11 pm
It looks like a box, exactly like special items or boxing gloves, spiked knuckles, condoms etc.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: West on April 04, 2010, 07:38:07 pm
did you put it behind the wall, so nobody will see it untill you come to that place?
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 04, 2010, 07:39:01 pm
I put some of them behind walls, but you can see them (No need to spam "G" key, if that's the question).
I can also say that most of them are not in main towns maps.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: West on April 04, 2010, 07:40:23 pm
thx for answer
There are ONE egg per location OR it can be two+ eggs on ONE location?
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Aricvomit on April 04, 2010, 08:12:18 pm
so lets see, 3 eggs in unguarded towns for sure, not very many eggs in towns so maybe 1 or 2 more in a town. common areas include train stations, mines, and various other locales.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: JohnyT on April 05, 2010, 02:25:13 am
So, no Easter eggs found yet?

Will you leave them till all eggs will be found, or will you close the event after Easter?

Yay, you deserve the reward then ! Congratulations. =)

Also, only 3 eggs are not found yet, the others are in tents or bases maps. Why the players do not report they have it, well, I don't really know =p But sooner or later, they will lose their egg and get no reward =(
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Surf on April 05, 2010, 09:40:57 am
Congratulations Tahvy! :)

Enjouy your reward, maybe one time I'll also find some of these hidden treasures (searched for them like 4 h or so :D ).

Maybe you should  make a global GM message, that there is the actual easter event? Some people seem to not like to visit the forum. :)
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 05, 2010, 09:51:48 am
I made one of those red message right before I posted my congrats to Tahvy. I guess I'll write some others too during the day.

I found an egg inside the junkyard shop, right bottom corner.

Anamalech has the egg.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 05, 2010, 11:44:34 am
Yup, rewarded !
As it was one of the found eggs, there are still 3 left out there.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Surf on April 05, 2010, 11:45:28 am
Spotty, hurry up and run to the GM! :)

Congratulation from me to you, I've searched some, but couldn't find any.

Also thanks to Izual, Jovanka, Skewjen Gatling(?) and the decs. It was fun. :)

When you say others, do you mean the players who have found them and where they are holding them? Or do you mean where the 3 last eggs are.

Can you give any hints? :D
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 05, 2010, 11:51:14 am
I mean that out of ten, two eggs were reported on this topic, and five are in tents/bases. Three remain where I hid them. And no, no hints =P

Why the others are in tents or bases ? Bugs or already found ?
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 05, 2010, 04:06:05 pm
Already found, not yet reported here, after a while I'll simply delete them.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: blahblah on April 05, 2010, 05:35:06 pm
Do those eggs have a description saying "This is worth 5k exp. Check on forum or we will delete it tomorrow?"

Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 10, 2010, 06:50:01 pm
Yes, I was just curious. I'll log in soon to see if that's the last egg I was talking about or anything.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: DeathCloud on April 10, 2010, 09:29:13 pm
So this was the last egg?

Event is over or not?
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 10, 2010, 09:34:01 pm
No, it's one of the stored eggs that has been moved to Reno, so I'll deliver reward to Tim Bob when I see him online.

The egg in the northern town is still hidden ! I will tell in which town tomorrow, for it will be one week after the event's start.
Title: Re: Easter eggs !
Post by: Izual on April 11, 2010, 11:17:15 am

Yes, that's right. I will officially close the event as soon as server is back in good conditions. Anyway it's like only 2 eggs are found but not reported, so I will delete them, since unfortunately their owner didn't tell me he had them. =(
