The waterbomb throwing event is a, compared to out other event types, rather new event type, one I came up with, because some people were complaining about the previous types of events, like posting events or collecting popup events. So this was already my attempt to try something different for people who said they would not enjoy the previous events. I am sorry it is not working out for everyone.

It would help me more if, instead of telling me that you do not enjoy this kind of event, people would give me specific suggestions about what kind of event they would enjoy instead, because I am afraid I am out of ideas that are within our possibilities.

I honestly don't mind this event. I just wish the timer were shorter, but that's only because I am an impatient little chaos gremlin and the mental image of my avatar running around the kingdom throwing water bombs at people amuses me a lot. Also I feel like the hit rates could be increased slightly (like, 5-10% more? idk) especially for higher tier players targeting lower tier ones.

Shorter timer and greater hit-rates are good ideas.

I mean think about it, even with NO timer and 100% hit-rate, you still have to click a button FIFTEEN HUNDRED times to reach level 10. Even that is not what I'd call a "game" but at least you could complete it in a reasonable amount of time.

I think this type of event is fitting for this site. Gets people to spend time hanging around more, and you're able to earn limited items. And it's a nice and reusable concept.

I'm good with it too.

It's a straightforward reward-for-time-invested.
Seems fair.

And the flavoring of tossing water balloons at people is hilarious!

I'm glad there is another way to get the knuffel. I'm more likely to hit that than the 10th lvl

Seconded!

And I'm SO VERY HAPPY that you let us get as many knuffel as we have points for!

Thank you, Firn!

Part of me does agree with a shorter timer.

Or a 100% hit rate if they're enough levels lower than you (like I'm rank 7 and I still miss rank 1, but I don't know what the hit rate is with being a higher level so it could just be bad luck on my part....RNG is fun)

I hit rank 10 a while back and still miss when tossing water balloons at Grog (who is rank 1; I think all the NPCs are).

So yeah, there's never a 100% hit rate.

But it's still fun.

This might be unpopular, but my suggestion would be to increase the price of the items and possibly lower the price of purchasing the knuffel.
I've had the most fun with this event when I had to get the currency for the items, but I feel I don't have the same excitement once I have them all and have to throw only for the knuffel. And if I'm not mistaken we can get the entire set by lvl 6 (330 points).

The greedy side of me wants the downtime to be reduced too, but I find waiting for the entire minute to go by more annoying when I miss. If it is possible and not hard to code, my suggestion would be making the odds a little harder, but getting rid of the downtime for hitting again when we miss and only keeping it when we land a hit. Not sure if it's possible, but I'd enjoy clicking to my hearts content until I hit and then have downtime to enjoy the hit (hope this makes sense )

awh i am so so sad i missed most of this event for the knuffle. I can try my hardest in the few days left. She's adorable!

I recommend leaving a tab up open to an NPC or other convenient target, and cannibalizing a game timer so you're alerted. It's amazing how quickly the hits pile up when your timing is optimized!
