The Year of the Dragonfly Event is Now Available!


Recommended Posts

I don't want to be mean, but this update is horrible. You were given many suggestions, even before the year started. They weren't perfect, but they gave at least an idea of what the players wanted or expected, changes for the mobs the year is about. Even the smallest change would have sufficed to say "hey, it's not what I expected, but I guess it's enough for a YoT update. Next update will bring the real stuff", but no. For an update named "Year of the Dragon", this feels like a waste. I don't want to assume anything, but for once I feel the only thing you paid attention to in this forums lately are bug reports (some) and arguments to say "keep it polite".

Sa many maddies :D I didn't know it would be an update so I am happy despite I cought a bug trying to boat-race. I think boat racing is good because everyone was complaining on no ocean content, and now you can build something on the water for joy.

boating activities is fine. but why no interaction from player to the respective animal of the year? 

even the dragonfly in winter feast got cute skin.

why event about dragonfly have nothing to do with in-game dragonfly.

usually, i stayed positive with klei decision of the game but this just so underwhelming.

Look. I'm not going to say anything nasty. I'll instead make a suggestion. 

Can we please place dock tiles overlapping the start pole radius? I'd like to build more bridges and I'd actually drop Black Desert Online for a little to do some bridge making, but I'm not particularly motivated to play if I can't build. I've played the event, beaten the monkey 3 times and received 6 gold nuggets. 

Thanks for making the event klei, but I value building more. Please let us have the ability to make docks in the ring of the "Start line" and have the race simply 'not start' if there are dock obstructions. You are able to hammer the start pole so it's not a big deal if you misplace anything.

 

Or rather, let us place the start line in areas smaller than where you are able to race. 

 

Also, can we get 1x1 sized boat kits which are worth like, 1 gold or even if you made it worth 40 gold, I don't care. Please klei. would it be an excessive amount of development??

When I saw the update I was hoping they'd be a 1 person, fireproof boat for rowing only that has half the health

You know what? Boat racing using shipwrecked boats would’ve been pretty neat.. and would’ve finally gave Klei an excuse to add the smaller 1 person boats into the game, but nope!

Fail on Dragon event, fail on Dragonfly changes, fail on fun new boats.

Im upset, but… I’m hoping the remaining updates coming this year make up for that.

I mean.. did they really though?

How hard would it have been for Klei to reskin the color of a Tallbird egg into a Dragons Egg, make that an Item you can purchase from the Dragonfly Shrine.. Then you can take said Dragon Egg & give it to Dragonfly to do simple things such as-

She can become passive to the player unless she’s attacked, allowing even casual noobs to travel through her biome without getting smacked to their deaths.

She can blow fire on the Egg and hatch it into a Broodling pet den critter for you.

Both of which would’ve felt far more like an event based on Dragonfly then well… uh, Boat Racing?

I personally wouldn’t have minded an optional behavior change so Dragonfly could be toggled as a Seasonal Boss like she was in Solo DS…

Idk- Anything seems better than boat racing.

I love these ideas. I feel like maybe Klei could add some of this stuff in like a part 2 update for the year of the Dragonfly.  Especially since playstation and Xbox have to wait.

Merely a few days ago people were writing that they would be understanding and preferred waiting for more impactful infrequent updates even if it meant toning down on smaller updates, because in the long run this means more content. Great job whining already, guys. xd The sailing idea is super neat and I have actually been hoping for something like this for a long while. It can always be expanded upon later. Thanks for the update, Klei! <3 <3

You say this… but then I see a limited time holiday event having Water Bouys, and I think to myself.. these could’ve naturally spawned in the water somewhere to help guide the player to find what is currently a needle in a Haystack- Such as Moon Quay Island or Shark Boys Iceberg.

Yeah, or buoys which players can craft. Personally I would love that. I think I have written that on more than one occasion, lol. In previous events parts of the content got carried over to the main branch, like the pigmen wrestlers. Perhaps they will stay? Buoys and silly things at sea would be neat to have, if only for decoration and marking the map.

Guys, thank you very much for this update!!! I am very glad that finally there is an event related to sailing. This is very inspiring to me) I haven’t tried this update yet and I don’t present all the content to the end, but I will definitely have a sail race with my friends in the coming days)) Otherwise, I support you in developing ocean content though would be with the help of such events. What I especially like is that I recently bought a set of Outlaw skins and this set is perfect for an event like this. I have nothing to say about masquerade skins, because I don't really like their style. But the new Twitch drop in the form of a tent skin is a really cool gift. Thank you, we are waiting for the next news)
