I feel bad for Kam having to code all of this by himself.

A round of Kam's favourite drinks to him.
And all-he-can-eat sandwiches, because sandwiches should be better in nutrition compared to other cram food.

EDIT: May I ask what is the confirmed time for the start of the donation event?

 Gonna be blunt, and I hate to be pessimistic, but this is and will be a mess.

Last year's sets are barely functional right now. Ironhoof is incomplete and Rubicon is basically only half usable because it still has a million bugs that remain unfixed. And now we have another donation contest yet again, this time with only one coder. Not to mention the situation earlier this year with the inconsistent application of rules and guidelines with regard to Golden Dev Ticket rewards. I don't look forward to the likely disaster that will happen in a few months.

On the other side of this newsletter, players (including myself) have also pointed out in the past how many Light armors/items we've gotten in the past year or so. We literally just got a Light set last week (albeit tokens), and now we're getting another collection of Light items this week. A similar issue is present with regard to certain status effects filling up majority of recent releases, notably Burn, Panic, and Bleed. Relevant to this point is the fact that last week, we got an FD Light armor (for some reason we've gotten like six FD Light armors within the past year and a half, in addition to other Light armors we got within that period) that deals with Burn and Panic, and now this week we're getting yet another FD Light armor that also deals with Burn and Panic. Multiple people have pointed out the continued release of items with overlapping effects/mechanics/stats but they still keep being made within short intervals. At this point, I'm not surprised anymore, just frustrated because it feels like we've been talking to a brick wall.

On a more... personal note, I see that we're getting yet another premium set made by Tyronius while the more accessible set is presumably made by Rev. Unfortunately this also means that the premium set has a higher chance of having more interesting mechanics and way more impressive art and animations. Obviously that comes hand in hand with being a premium set, but it feels like we're back in like 2010 or 2011 where all the items with interesting or unique mechanics, art, and animations are exclusive to premium items.

I hope we see a reset of the overall vibe behind the event. What began as good fun turned into toxic bickering thanks to many incompatible thoughts. It's unfortunate ironhoof was placed in a state of incompletion but let's focus on the next one.

The revealed art is decent for both sets. I especially like the pet for giftmaster. It's a fun looking mix of fierce and adorable.

Yeah I can't find it in me to get excited for Light items. We could probably ban Fire, Dark and Light armors for all of 2027.

We've had a preview for Ironhoof (Summer 2025) and for Order of the Last Rose (Winter 2025) in different ways -- former was up for some level of input, and latter was... something. Info subs were suddenly posted 24 hours or so before the event's conclusion, and the misc got adjusted post-conclusion, with planned changes to the Silencer's Deathcraft / Elani Silencer set not yet done for somewhat understandable reasons.

Curious if a preview can be expected for Primordial Chorus and Gatta Champion (Summer 2026). Preferably with lessons actually learnt.

Other feedback, I suppose: (1) It was mentioned to me that Veywild is still missing from Ballyhoo's shop, and (2) It comes across to me somewhat odd that the daily raffle items are named as if they're part of a set when they're ostensibly and fundamentally disparate, lacking any synergy whatsoever but I suppose the latter's a personal nitpick rather than actually productively actionable. Like, are we ruling out Wind / Energy as clone-able for the rest because GaleFang and Hodokoshi are already those elements respectively?

^I can see them eventually swapping out one or both item clones for something else if they ever run a wind/energy/water/dark theme. Remember, Galefang is a clone of the Pride event's Typhon shards, which cover water and darkness, so unless they forget that they cloned the Typhon shards, we have 3 elements left to cover for Galefang after this one.

IIRC Thunderbird jouster is also missing from Ballyhoo's selection.

I'm gonna have to agree with all the concerns that have been voiced here.

 Speaking of the Typhon Shards (and the other raffle items for that matter), I can't say I'm a fan of the fact that elemental clones of always-available/seasonal items are basically perma rare.

Hmm. Solely based on the art, the Gatta Champion Set looks FO while the Primordial Chorus Set looks very much like a caster. It kind of screams SC. And it seems very suitable for Ice / Earth / Dark, so it’s kind of a perfect opportunity to make it SC / Dire or perhaps FD / FO / SC or something.

I know some among the community are a tad . . . hesitant . . . about putting SC on a limited, premium armor, but I think y’all should totally just do it. Can do it via lean-switching maybe. We desperately need more SC options, and even in a gift master armor, I will just be happy to see SC lol. The mechanics of it can be tweaked & copy-pasted to a more permanent armor afterwards. Anything to get the ball rolling.

^Nobody is hesitant about that. A permanently rare armour that costs several hundred dollars in tokens just won't do anything for the poor state of SC lean accessibility.

The most tragic thing about this event is we'll have art and animation that likely have plenty of effort put into for only just 50 people to experience fully. At least there's the guaranteed items and the community set.
