I thought it was cool. :mrgreen:

 

I liked the managing part. Beta for a new minigame, anyone?

[MerchantInTheDark]

Personally, I thought it was fun and fairly unique among the other events they've done.

[AirWales]

Very mediocre. Nothing more than a smaller copy of last year.

 

Beta for a new minigame, anyone?

 

O please no! :o

[Mdeoxys]

I liked it, nothing special though.

Just a nice distraction from the normal things I do.

[Krampell]

I got kind of disappointed to see that they just used the same area once again.

But the new stuff was pretty fun.

[Serenes]

My expectations aren't high for holiday events, it was okay.

[Racheya]

I've not bothered with it yet, Easter isn't a particularly... festive holiday for me. And the reward for the event doesn't look worth it.

[applyapple]

It was very cool.

Most parts were boring, but then we got to the management part and that was genuinely fun. I agree, it should be a new minigame.

I also liked the elf (he looked one heckuva lot like Ariannwyn).

I feel absolutely stupid, but I just can't figure out how to do anything in the managing part. Normally I love puzzle type things but I don't even know where to start with this one. Help please.

RS Wiki has a good guide on the Factory Management section.

 

Factory management was hard for me; I had to reset it 5 times before I completed it after 12 tries. :mad: Frustrating, to say the least. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the two squirrels that follow you only last for a few seconds? I'll summon them, start walking because they can't freaking catch up, and then they'll disappear...

 

-.-

[Mischlings]

I loved it -- the minigame part (seriously, they should make some sort of minigame out of the management) was fun, even though I've only played it once, and I loved being able to summon squirrel minions. Squirrels are some of my favorite animals, so I really enjoyed that part.

[RussetAlpha]

I liked it a lot. I actually liked how they use the same spot again. Feels like a storyline when then do that, and I love those :D but all we got was some squirrel ears <_< Don't get me wrong, I like them, but thats all we got ..

[anonymouse_]

I didn't bother doing it, seems stupid.

[Neohero1972]

Hi

 

I also did the Easter Holiday Event - simply because it was there to do !

 

However, i did enjoy the factory management part (partly because i was successful the first time and i did it in 7 - 9 turns)

 

I'll agree with those of you who thinks it could be the basis for a minigame - i would sure give it another try even though i don't do minigames that much (except Vinesweeper for my gardening needs)

Okay, in my opinion, this event failed worse then the Thanksgiving event last year. I mean, they give us rewards of animals that don't fit the Easter holiday. Bunnies represent Easter but we get two pet squirrels which can already be obtained with 60 summoning. If they're going to give us a pet, even if the pets are just temporary. Why don't they give us a pet that we can't now? Jagex was on the right track when Eek! came out but for Easter do we get a pet bunny? I think not.

[Triquos]

I just did the holiday event to get the item, I don't find them fun at all really :(

 

I personally think Jagex could improve on the holiday events. Like this easter event for example, could have given any players that were in this years easter event, access to the machinery downstairs to create their own chocolate dust in mass quantities. Sort of like the 'manage thy kingdom' minigame. You could sort out the chocolate eggs from the junk, process them and crush them yourself, or, pay workers to do it all for you. You could collect your chocolate dust whenever it is ready. I think improivng holiday events that give long-term rewards like this would significantly increase the players fun AND involvement in them.

I didn't like how they reused the same area and practically the same content. Let's see, we had to retrain the squirrels again, give the Easter Bird a talking-to, search through over 9000 boxes for some @#$@ supplies.... the only part they didn't really duplicate was catching the imps. Oh, and they threw in some basic coloring junk and a bit of "management." And the reward? Squirrel ears, completely and totally irrelevant to anything associated with Easter anyplace other than the stupid rabbit's workshop. I can see the conversation 3 years from now, when I pull out the squirrel ears for luls:

 

Noob: AMG WTH ARE THOSE WHERE U GET?

 

Me: These are squirrel ears. Got 'em from an Easter event a while ago.

 

Noob: OMG LIAR SQWUIRRELS R NOT EASTER I REPOT U TO JAMFLEX FOR HACKING!!!!!!!!! HAHA NUB

[Reztral]

I still haven't done the event. Might do that tonight.

[Dirkmetal]

Wow, this event was bad. First you head to the bunny hole, and become a rabbit to enter, but once you're inside you're normal. Clearly Jagex is not even paying attention to what they recycle. Then you're greeted by the exact same resources that were used last year, and the years before that. All NPC's shared near identical speech patterns. Then you get this TL;DR description that was filled with typos on how to play a minigame.

 

In the end, I gave up trying to read the directions, and winged it. Beat the management game in 8 turns. Walked over, and saw that the reward was bunny ears, er I mean squirrel ears. Operate them, and see that I have a nice squirrel pet that I an talk to making a mockery out of my level 70 summoning.

 

All in all. After not having played in months, and coming on or this event. I can say this has confirmed to me Jagex has jumped the shark.

[Den]

It was a'ight, could have been better if they hadnt reused aspects they used last year or done something completely different.

[Laura]

Quite honestly, that was the worst event I have ever participated in.

[Gandorf61]

I thought it was a cool event. Wasn't anything spectacular but I did enjoy the management part. As others have said, if they didn't reuse so much from last year it would have been a lot more fun.

[Xezalb]

Yuck. I really didn't have too much fun during that. I agree with everyone else in that re-using the factory was kind of lame.

[BloodAngel]

I have to agree with Laura. Usually I find them fun and a good break from training skills, however I just got really bored really quickly and couldn't wait for it to finish :unsure: I'm glad I got the Easter emote though since I missed it last year :^_^:
