Fantage Blackout Event 2014 + Other Updates

Other Updates are on the way bottom, including: I ❤ School Wordz – New Comet Game, Cody’s Crazy Combos – New Sky Surfers Set, and Bonus Level Medal – Get Free Items

This is the third Lights Out/Black Out event, there was one in 2013 and 2012 too! And by the looks of it, it’s EXACTLY the same as the 2012 event. Here we go…

Limited Items

Of course, they’re selling it for Gold instead of ecoins/stars 😦

No, this isn’t deja vu, or a hallucination. Here’s the Limited Item cart from 2012, exactly the same!!

Light Up Candles

Ok I’m seeing a pattern here. It’s exactly the same as the 2012 event, without the Mini Games and Stamp Book. Even the prizes are the same. So I’m going to copy and paste directly from the 2012 post, to save time -_-

Nonmembers are able to buy a costume from the Costume Cart (located Downtown, Uptown, Beach)

   

There are 5 different candles (yellow, red, blue, green, purple). Nonmembers can only get the yellow ones. To light them up, buy the costume, wear it, then click on the candles. You get 1 star for each candle. If you find 10, you get a prize. (Light up all 50 candles and win a medal. Level it up by finding them again the next day)

Prizes:

 

 

And yes, believe it or not, the candles are in the exact same position. Today, 7/10, is the same as the candle locations on June 27, 2012. Again, click here for the post from 2012 about the candle locations. For tomorrow and the rest of the event, use the June 28, 2012 list (on the same post).

Since some locations are gone, they were moved to the location closest, I think. Like, candles that used to be at the Oasis are at the Carnival now.

Reflection

First, the most obvious, the thing that everyone’s complaining about: STOP REUSING EVENTS!!!

I would be OK with them repeating the idea but using a different storyline, like the generators breaking down in the 2013 event vs the candles in the 2012 event. But being this lazy, not even bothering to change the Limited Items, completely reusing the event?? The only difference is Gold, which makes it even worse.

And this is becoming a pattern now too, the Summer Camp event was completely reused as well, prizes, Limited Items, everything.

If Fantage keeps on reusing old events simply because they want us to spend gold (but they’re too lazy to create a new event), more people are going to quit. People are not happy with the way things have been going, especially on Facebook.

Sorry for being so negative, but it’s really hard to say anything good about this event…!! And I have never given such a low rating before, but seriously, this event deserves it ; n ;

Be prepared for some memes, because I definitely feel like making some right now…

OTHER UPDATES

There have been a bunch of small updates lately, and I don’t think we made a post on them yet. Since this one is so short (due to the boring event), I’ll put them all here.

I ❤ School Wordz – New Comet Game

They’ve added a new game on Fantage Comet, the iPad app.

Cody’s Crazy Combos – New Sky Surfers Set

Um, not to burst your bubble Fantage, but we’ve known how to fly since like 2010. You don’t hafta waste real money to do it either -_-

Bonus Level Medal – Get Free Items

There’s been a “coming soon” bubble over this a while now, since Bonus Level Medals were released

I don’t think we ever made a post for the Bonus Level Medal (probably because I hated the idea so much), so I’ll explain from the beginning.

The Bonus Level Medal sign is at Uptown, next to the Hall of Fame.

You can pay an outrageous amount of ecoins to get to the next title (you get a new title every 100 levels). If you, like myself, don’t intend to foolishly waste ecoins on this scam in an attempt to become “famous”  Ok sorry I’ll try to be more neutral and leave my opinion for later 😐

Even if you don’t have enough ecoins to buy any levels, there are some other things you can do with this feature!

One of them is that you can see what percentage of Fantagians are at the same level range as you are! Looks like less than 1% of the people on Fantage have the title Sensei.

And of course, because of the new update today, you get FREE PRIZES! I just realized this too, you don’t have to buy a medal to get these! They are just motivation for you to buy medals in order to get the prizes. These are pretty much exactly the same as the Level Locked Items, except nonmembers can get them too, awesome!

Just click on the orange Get Item button, and you can get it for free!

Here are the prizes in order: Catfish Headwear, Bow and Arrow, Purple Hat, Sack Board, and Gator Board.
