Gravedigger comes to mind - was promised Aug 2015, finally showed up Mar 2017. At the same time we were told Rowboat Race was supposed to come back and it never has. And I'm not going to get started on the things we were promised with respect to the wardrobe and all its revamps. Then there is the vault, which we were told wouldn't be a problem to stuff our things into when shops were nuked, and which now causes regular 502/504 errors. Cults, which we were told for years on end, would get a major overhaul "soon", finally getting totally axed. Then there are older, more minor things from many years ago - things we were told would get fixed, but instead quietly disappeared.

I understand that things change. That sometimes you want to do something and it turns out the technology just isn't ready for it, or whatever. But when it happens again and again, I just get to a point where I think "yeah, that would be nice - but I'll believe it when I see it."

I appreciate the extra information that these won't be limited to just Vesnali and there will be more ways to get flowers and stuff in the future.

I do understand that not everything is meant to be obtained right after it's released, but yeah a lot of people probably went into panic mode when they saw so many new items that needed specific (and now expensive) flowers to make and thought we only had a week to finish it all.

I know it can be tough not wanting to spoil all of the surprises, but I think it will help some knowing that these may not be as limited as they seemed at first.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm excited about the garden thing. There are a lot of possibilities open past the wedding.

Is the wedding going to affect the floating flowers or how they are used at all? There's still at least a day of Vesnali past that.

Yes, yes you are cruel enough to do tiers!

Charge 25 CSC for each bouquet-eligible flower, to sell these to the impatient. They're already going for that much in sP already so users do think they're worth that much. Might as well support the site, even though it's not all that necessary. A bouquet made from these pieces would cost about what a CSC boutique wearable would cost.

Ugh gravedigger. That was actually the worst. The issue with that wasn’t that we were forgetting about it, it was because when we moved servers we somehow lost all the coding for it. So grace had to do it from scratch when she had a lot of other projects. It was really a horrible situation, because Gemma and I were so pumped to have it back out for Morostide and then it ended up being way longer because of that. FUN FACT THO i know how to make levels now, so I can totally add some new maps in the future! I’m learning how to do games in JS and what not, so if grace doesn’t have the time for some of the other games we lost (or have but just need to do a bit more for), I might be able to knock those out this summer with some other stuff!

We’ll make it very obvious about it coming back around when we start the wedding post!

Flowers will still float during the Wedding! Esther’s shop will still be open and what not (I’m pretty sure we’ll have the honesty pot up as an NPC while they get married / go honeymoon).

And making use of gardens or something else to get flowers out outside of just floating. We went with quests for now, but that doesn&;t mean we won&;t donate some during the event. Again, just because you can&;t get them on the first day doesn&;t mean you won&;t be able to make them later.

GARDENS? i think yes!!

Were the chances of getting a bouquet flower increased? I've gotten like four different bouquet flowers in the past 15-20 minutes, but I can't tell if I'm just really lucky today or if there was some tweaking. ;)

I increased all floating flowers last night! We always planned to have them float more when the bouquets came out :)

I see, thanks for explaining! I'm still not sold on the idea of gardens being late, but you've made me curious about what you're planning with 'em.

Thank you for increasing the flower ratios too!

Question - will we be able to still make bouquets after Vesnali is over? I have yet to make a bouquet because I am collecting flowers first and want to wait until after Vesnali to make one...

I suggest you make them during Vesnali. Like I've said here, the feature will come back but I still suggest you make them now if you have the flowers :p

As nice and easy as that would be, I think it defeats the purpose. Its like baking. Sure its hard to get some items, but thats the fun of it.

What would be cool is being able to trade 5-10 flowers with esther for a single you need. So those who have many flowers they dont intend to give will have a use for them. Or to be able to pay for a flower needed, with a set limit of how many each user can just up and buy (so not to abuse the system)

It still needs to be tough I think. Ive had luck trading 1-5 flowers for ones I need. It just takes some work. But right now it is a bit nuts with people buying them all up to resell at high markups.

But again, I dont agree with these being put as a set price in a shop. It sort of takes the incentive away to even try.

^ Except it's not like baking. Or alchemy or genetech. Cause it lasts a week. And other solutions Amber mentioned may or may not become reality and Shinwa knows when to top that.

Plus I agree it kinda kills the social aspect of the event. At this point is better to keep all flowers/trade flower for flower and just buy coins instead of normal giving flowers.

Well, two more days of putting every flower I get from quests and random events in my vault and still not enough of the right varieties to make bouquets.

For the last day of Vesnali, PLEASE arrange for the quests to drop bouquet flowers rather than the ones which aren't used.

For anyone still struggling to make bouquets for the last couple of days, I would really recommend checking out the flower exchange thread in the Vesnali forum.

[topic not found]

Even if you don't have time to make all of the bouquets right now, you could still probably manage to exchange your extra flowers to make at least a few of the bouquets that you really want.

I managed to make one bouquet but that was because I semi-panicked and paid some stupid prices for the flowers I needed.

On the bight side, I also got swamped with a bunch of ineligible flowers for which I've shoved into my vault for the time being.

I never got enough flowers to make one bouquet as I just didn't get the right ones matched up with the recipe needed in time. Now I don't mind this as I always have more fun giving them to my friends and spreading the joy. I would still like certain bouquets though and your solution is ideal. The flowers are always expensive because of the currency that comes with them and as fun as this event is, it has made the issue worse. Being able to buy them from the shops is a wonderful idea. Maybe Esther could make more for her shop for next year for the other flowers (I'd love at least one made with one of the Flame Roses) but again, I'd rather spend coins on them than try and get the flower combo right again.
