Imagine doing a whole event to spend all your currency on the suitcase just for it to be nerfed .. the day after it ends. There was no info on the announcement channel of the discord so even if it was said in another channel, you can't expect people to go around every channel to find those things. if the new bonus was good at least, it would be okay but it's probably the worst one, which feels like you wasted a whole event, that you can only do once per year. Yes it was pinned in the event channel, but it's not really wide reaching ...
Absolutely the same thing here. I'm really disappointed that I wasted all my topaz to get a rod that would help me get to 155 tokens on the last day so I could get the suitcase...only for all of that to get completely wiped the moment the event is over. How hard would it have been to release an update to the game PRIOR to the event ending that removes the suitcase as an option so we could spend our tokens on things that still exist in game?
The dev didn't actually want to update the game yet, the only reason they did is to fix a game breaking bug that triggered when the event ended. But I agree, it should have been better advertised. The plan was to still wait a bit, which would've let people use suitcase for at least a little bit before it was nerfed.
