wow cool lol

So the best items are going to be solely dependent on how good at parkour you are? I'm confused on that aspect of this whole change. People who don't have the best internet, prone to disconnecting, are going to be at a severe disadvantage, along with everyone who just isn't very skilled in parkour.

Shouldn't the events also be skill based? What events will occur in the 4 months?

Also about the Finale Key, what happens if they fail? I think they should get a small reward if they do, else the 3 days of grinding will be wasted

Creating all-new events is something we discussed, but for now, we'd like to keep it to our current pool. That said, with a much lower frequency of total events in a season, we can try to focus on more skill-based activities such as Surgery, Cooking, etc. - at least compared to Block Bashers

And as stated in the dev diary, there will be a consolation prize for players who fail to complete any of the parkour tracks in time.

Sounded fun.
Until the parkour part at least.

Sounds like the best prizes are going to be dependant on the players' parkour skills for each of the 4 events. This could possibly mean if someone is not good at parkour, it might not even be worth participating in the clashes for him/her at all, if the parkour aspect will be the rewarding part of all the events.

Since Exquisite Anomalizers are going to be removed, will Exquisite Potions be removed too? If so, will the Chef Role get an item to cook/make in replacement of it or will it just be removed?

Same goes to Delicate/Reliable Anomalizers.

Finale Keys are, as of this writing, tradeable. If you're not good at parkour, I'm certain you could find someone who is, and trade the key to them so they can attempt it. Considering that there will be a wide range of prizes in the parkour (some definitely better than others), this could be a very profitable/stable approach to Clashes, as you wouldn't have to risk getting a low-value prize.

btw i like this idea. can i give you a golden buzzer?

oh wait this is not growtopia got talent!

Concept sounds very interesting. But im very concerned that it will only occur once a month and for 3 days. At first this might look cool, but what if some people will go on vacation for a few days and they match the exact 3 days of that montly clash event? In this case it seems that your hopes to get L branch will be buried,because you missed whole month! Or there will be no L branch?
What do you think

[xKaizoku]

yes finally something that doesnt require wls

i agree with you,but that idea is like amazing
i still can't believe they read our mind.

maybe starkos is doctor strange or something.

[Starkos]

No plans for a legendary branch at this time, in part for exactly that reason. Also because we want this to be a more chill and fun event, not a mandated grind, y'know?

I have a few questions and ideas that I have in mind:

1. Event Schedules - Are the monthly events gonna happen on random days? Just like for carnival, they occur for a random 3 days in a month, will the events be announced and have a specific date or would it just be random? My suggestion: I think the best time for the events would be on a Friday so players who are either busy in school or work, has the chance to grind it out on weekends.

2. Parkour Event - Are the levels (Easy, Medium, Hard) gonna be in separate worlds? For example FINALEWORLD_1, FINALEWORLD_2, FINALEWORLD_3, consecutively. I'm also wondering if it acts like WOLFWORD, wherein, if you get dc'd, you can still use your FINALE KEY to enter again but the timer remains being counted as if you were there. Also, since you only have one chance to complete each path, if you dc, it's game over? For the rewards, is it a random loot or a fixed one per difficulty? I need some clarification on the whole "relocation" of rewards.

3. Reliable Anomalizers - First off, THANK YOU. For making it unbreakable with a twist of low points. Everyone can join summer clash now without worrying of spending so much in game. I'm just wondering on how this item would work differently across 4 events. If those 3 days are still random or it would have an announcement regarding what type of event would comeforth. Also, I hope you have counter measures against auto clickers regarding on the abuse of points since it's deemed unbreakable.

4. Legendary Branch - Any thoughts/updates regarding this? Since the whole point system might be changed, and there's only 4 events across 4 months of the duration of summer clash.

5. Suggestion - I feel like we need a more action packed event. More on the aspect of a PvP style gameplay wherein guilds will go head-to-head with each other and whoever wins gets seasonal token rewards. That would be a nice addition to the wait-time of how many days before a new event starts. Maybe some mini battles in between events? Like how the Game Pack works, 4 guilds will be scheduled to have a pvp game for 10 mins of Capture the Flag. Something like that.

6. Overall - Thanks for listening to your community. I'm glad that you've been listening to our feedbacks and comments regarding the issue with past clashes. It has been deemed unrewarding with the amount of wls spent and the time, and it's really too expensive for most part and with this new change, I'm looking forward to actively participating in summer clash events. Thank you! Hope other people will give out more of their opinions and extra suggestions that can be included in our future summer clash events.
