| − | ====Fireworks Wrapping Paper==== | + | ====Recent Maintenance and Downtime==== |
| − | | + | Today shortly after the Lunar New Year event came to an end the game began to experience issues including trap setups and hunt results changing. Upon the issue coming to our attention we confirmed there was an issue and decided to put the game into unscheduled maintenance due to the severity of the problem. |
| − | Ring in the new year with some celebratory wrapping paper! The Great Giftnapper has gotten his hands on some sparkly, shiny, explosion...y wrapping paper! Capture the Great Giftnapper Mouse to find a roll of this colourful wrapping paper and unlock a new decoration for your heads-up display.

| | | | |
| | + | The dev team got to work investigating what the cause of problem was. After some time we identified a network configuration issue isolated to a group of servers that were brought online shortly after the Lunar New Year event came to an end. This network issue caused connectivity problems between the web server and a data server causing the problem with trap setups not saving or changing. |
| | | | |
| − | When the New Year's decorations are active you'll attract a few New Year's event mice that drop Firework Sugar Cookies. These tasty cookies can be exchanged at the Festive Comet shops for new rewards!
| + | '''We have now removed these faulty servers which appears to have corrected the issue''' |
| | + | Thanks for your patience and understanding while the team investigated the network issue at our hosting provider. Unfortunately during the period of instability hunters may have experienced strange events or side effects such as their trap setup or hunt results changing. If you experienced a major issue please contact us via support with a screenshot of the issue and description of what you experienced. We appreciate your patience as our response times may be slower due to an increased quantity of support requests. |

| − | ====Gifts Missing Throughout the Kingdom!==== | + | ====All Good Things...==== |
| | + | The Lunar New Year event has come to an end but the Year of the Ox rages on! |
| | | | |
| − | 'Twas the night before the Hunt, when all through the house,
| + | You are no longer able to light your lunar lantern candles or make any more progress on the reward track. |
| − | One creature was stirring, the Great Giftnapper Mouse.
| |
| − | He was spiteful and mean and as greedy as can be,
| |
| − | With an insatiable craving for more than just brie!
| |
| | | | |
| − | It was gifts that he wanted and certainly not to share,
| + | However, '''for one more week''', you will still be able to claim any unclaimed track rewards and spend any unused candles on the Lunar New Year specific items in the shops of stockpile locations. |
| − | He wanted them all for himself, not a one would he spare!
| |
| − | So he climbed down the chimneys of each house on the street,
| |
| − | Stealing all of their gifts, very sneaky and discrete.
| |
| | | | |
| − | He made off like a bandit, into the cold winter night,
| + | Any candles that you have not lit and choose not to spend '''will remain in your inventory''' along with any unused Dumpling Cheese and Nian Gao'da Cheese. |
| − | So the residents would awake to an unfestive sight.
| |
| − | He left those poor houses all empty and bare,
| |
| − | Then hid himself away, no one quite knows where.
| |
| | | | |
| − | He travelled the kingdom, hiding every stolen gift,
| + | ====Still Working on an Event Map?==== |
| − | From Queso Geyser all the way to Furoma Rift.
| + | You still have the rest of this week to find those last few event mice to complete your map and earn its full rewards. Just head to any of the stockpile locations and arm your Dumpling Cheese or Nian Gao'da Cheese to attract the regular pool of Lunar New Year event mice. |
| − | Without gifts, Gnawnia was turning dreary and glum,
| |
| − | Until lo and behold, the Festive Comet had come!
| |
| | | | |
| − | The Magical Snow Golems had returned just in time,
| + | Stockpile Locations |
| − | To recover the gifts and put a stop to this crime.
| + | Town of Gnawnia |
| − | These creatures are more than just friendly and cute,

| − | So send your golems on the journey of the year,
| + | As of March 2, all of the Lunar New Year mice, rewards, and shop items will be gone until next year. |

| + | -- {{MHP|2818486648263450|Norm Hussey}} |
| | | | |
| − | Visit the Festive Comet where the snow is not only the perfect packing consistency to create snow golems, but also magically enchanted to bring those golems to life! Start by gathering some Pecan Pecorino or Glazed Pecan Pecorino Cheese and then arm it to attract a variety of mice that drop snow golem parts. Once you find a Snow Golem Head, Snow Golem Torso, and four Snow Golem Limbs you'll be able to construct a golem to send out on a gift and loot recovery mission!
| + | ---- |
| | | | |
| − | | + | </blockquote> |
| − | Once sent out, your golems will return in '''25 hunts time''' not only with a bundle of loot from the areas you sent them to, but also with a stash of Recovered Gifts. Return these gifts to their rightful owners via the heads-up display and you'll find that they have left out a tray of M.I.L.K. and Cookies as a show of thanks for your part in playing Santa.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | That cool glass of Mechanically Invigorating Liquid Krypton is just what your golems crave! You can use the M.I.L.K. and Cookies to upgrade your golem generators to create stronger golems capable of bringing back more Recovered Gifts along with a greater quantity and quality of loot items!

| − | Keep returning Recovered Gifts to the houses along your route and you'll eventually catch the Great Giftnapper red-handed! Each time you apprehend this stealthy swindler you'll recover a piece of Plain Wrapping Paper. Although unremarkable at first, this Plain Wrapping Paper can be crafted into more festive varieties via the heads-up display.

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | There are four varieties of festive wrapping paper to create and decorate your camp with, each attracting different mice that drop Festive Sugar Cookies!

Using Rare Map Dust will result in a rare chest which '''always''' contains at least one Advent Chocolate!
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Nice Lists''' are not as difficult and less rewarding. You and your map mates will have to track down a variety of event mice, but none that require HUD decorations. These are great when first getting started.

This festive enchantment adds +5 Luck to your trap and gives mice a chance to drop a variety of festive loot items, including Winter Hunt Gift Boxes depending on your Hunter Title.

Recent Maintenance and Downtime
Today shortly after the Lunar New Year event came to an end the game began to experience issues including trap setups and hunt results changing. Upon the issue coming to our attention we confirmed there was an issue and decided to put the game into unscheduled maintenance due to the severity of the problem.
The dev team got to work investigating what the cause of problem was. After some time we identified a network configuration issue isolated to a group of servers that were brought online shortly after the Lunar New Year event came to an end. This network issue caused connectivity problems between the web server and a data server causing the problem with trap setups not saving or changing.
We have now removed these faulty servers which appears to have corrected the issue
