Overall the interaction between player and npc were pretty good, though some people were still unclear as to where to go. In the future, I hope that each npc will have a role in one shape or form in events like these.

Overall, a very enjoyable event, and I can't wait for it to come back!

1 & 2:
It was a fresh idea, mostly. Nice how it wasn't entirely a hoard-all-you-can and then exchange-everything-you-have sort of event. A lot of the previous quests/events were really just 'oh look backstory' to mask up the excessive item nom. Which those are great too, because excessive items are aksjdlaj, but they could've done with more development. I mean we've had Xespa Xoria doing this mad hoarding of ebilias/jaakus for a few years already and nothing happens. The first year it ended was a huge disappointed, subsequently it was just something I'd do to obtain the auras and books. I did like how the NPCs sent us rmails though, that was really cool. Still mad at myself for deleting Xespa's one. :I Anyway back to the comet festival, well, the art was definitely very nice. The animated telescope image was stunning, also all the event items were pretty great too, the style was in them and all. Except for the stardusts, art for those seemed a little off, but probably just due to how shiny they had to be. I don't know, they seemed too simplified and perfect and also quite a lack of black lines to me. The urns too. I'm not saying that the art sucks, I'm saying that it could have fitted res's art style better. :/ At the start of the event, there was a sense of time. Like you couldn't use the telescope until later in the day, that was fantastic. Then after that it was eternal night sky and we could see the comet anytime. Yea, I understand the time zones and all, so okay. One thing I really hated was the gold stardust. It's practically useless. Yes, I don't find selling it to Faheem at 50k a use. I'm not sure if it was your actual intention, but it felt like the gold stardust was to be used with the urns to create the gold stardust urns to use on CS pets and then suddenly there was a decision to make the already filled gold urns a CS item, rendering the dust itself utterly useless. Even the silver one has more use and value even when gold was said to be rarer at the start. Rare things are supposed to be useful. :/ 50k seems really cheap for something rare just saying.

It was a nice way to introduce the effect, but it lacked clarity. It takes a while for people to figure out what effects are. Are they a new colour? What happens if I dye it? How do I know if it has an effect? How do I use it? I think the two most largest problems for effects is that you don't know and you can't apply effects until they reach adult. Not being able to apply? That's okay still, more profit for those with rrays. Not even knowing if the effect is present? ...That's really troublesome and irritating. I'm not dedicated enough to make a list of which of my 600 pets obtained the effect. Yes, it's my loss and other people are doing that. Well, good for them, I'm here to enjoy the game, not make tables. :T Secondly is that allowing stardust effect on all creatu, even if there is no art yet. Noooo why would you do that. It's like explosion of rather useless pets. They've got the effect, but are totally useless until next year or something. I kind of thought it would've been better if the effect was available when the art was done. Scria stardust pets for this year, xx stardust pets for next and so on. It'll be a long wait, but it'll be fine. I'd rather do that than keep a stardusted meiko until 2015 for it to have art. I hope that's not your current plan and that you have a better plan than that please. It did feel slightly sudden though, the introduction of this effect. It was like BAM book BAM comet BAM quest and BAAAAM stardust. Which is nice, but remember the Kir quest when we had this series of random events that lasted a good deal of time with shadows and eerie sounds? The Narwi had that too. It was interesting and a great way to increase interest. I think there were random events for this one too, but it seemed rather short to me, or perhaps I just wasn't spending enough time on res to encounter. Also it was mildly irritating how staff were able to find the stardusts before everyone else. I assume that that was for testing and that the test dust has been deleted. My main concern with that was the that item databa[injection]se reflected those numbers and users like me look at that is freak out at how people are finding piles of dust when the event isn't here yet.

Interactive plot time. It was... interactive. :U Yes. Quite so. It was much better than the easter event for sure. That one really made little sense. It was horrible with all the rhymes, you have to understand not everyone's english is at that level and it's not because they don't try. What was the most silly about that event was that we handed in all these items to her for her, and at the end, we get a basket containing those very same item. That was like whaaaa? I like those items, yes, but it makes no sense guys, no sense. "Hello I am Phyllis, help me get some items." and then "Oh thank you, here you go, I have repackaged the items you gave me, enjoy!" Ehhhh. :I Also the sending item to NPC was a bit iffy, what if the item was misspent, does that mean that it's gone forever and no one can ever finish the quest? Well, I don't know if that's what happens since I didn't missend mine, but it's a worry. Also not everyone is aware that NPCs have accounts. Speaking of NPC accounts, I hope that if they ever come back, they'll be better maintained. Kir's been neglected, as with Phaeda. Of which I have stalked and collected her name from the graves. :b Okay but back to the comet event um. It was okay overall, not much complaining there. I like how Astra's image changed from normal indigo to stardust indigo. I didn't like Perry's static face. ( Okay, I went through the images, he does have a change of ex[injection]pression, but only one and during which Astra is as indifferent as ever ) The other quest NPCs had ex[injection]pressions. What's his name, the winter narwi dude that works for klaws and co. and owns a black uilus named Uma, he and Uma were awesome with all those ex[injection]pressions. :D My other problem was input of answer. It's just a mild one though. I thought it would've been nice if they provided options like A B C D instead of making us type. I sat there with 'The Apple Tree' for the longest time before realizing that I just had to deleted the 'The' part. :L That's just me being stupid though. :> Other than that it was fine, really. I liked how the speech bubbles sort of grew/moved. It was very sleek. The real discovery of stardust on Astra though, it lacked something. I feel like it could've been bigger. It was just kind of quiet instead of the huge excitement it should've been. Just felt a little off, I'm not sure what. :/

What role? Well I don't know really, they're NPCs. As cool as it sounds to chat with shopkeepers and do miniquests with the quest NPCs and etc etc. Don't overdo it. NPCs are NPCs, it's nice for them to be developed, great if they're event NPCs, but things like quest and shopkeepers, it's best to just leave them alone for now, unless there's nothing else to do. It'll take effort to develop all their characters and have them say things that reflect them and who they are. Otherwise, if it's going to turn out as useless blabber, it's really a huge waste of time and few will care because it really doesn't help us achieve anything. It'll be like, oh look NPCs talk now, oh that's funny/nice/cute/interesting and that's it. We'll just walk away from it because it serves no purpose. Speakig of NPCs and plot, I think that Malcolm would be utterly amazing should he appear in any event. It's like underground mafia boss and illegal goods and then wow it'll be really cool if the police came after him or something. I remember there were police or something like that sometime ago, was it on atquati or scria? That would be nice. Also emphasizes on how illegal all his dye kits and everything really are. Right now we're all just lolololo buying dye kits like it's an okay thing when actually it's like this underground item that's probably smuggled here and there and all. xD

Last thing to add that doesn't have much to do with much. I've noticed that for images in the updates, there's this tendency in using images from xee's photobucket. Nothing particularly wrong with that, but it'd probably be more professional to use images saved under rescreatu.com yea. :B Really minor since no one really bothers checking that except me.

Welp. That's 1500+ words up there.
Hope you're still fine and alive after reading it.
Sorry. xD

EDIT: Okay wait. I realise how unhappy I sound with everything. Ouch. I'd like to clarify that I am actually quite happy with this event overall, compared with the previous ones and keeping in mind all the things you were trying to achieve in carrying out the event, it was very well managed. Also even though I use 'you' a lot, I'm referring to the entire staff body so no one feel personally insulted or anything kay. D:

EDIT EDIT: I missed out something im[injection]portant. Um, remember how the recipes got out before the cards? I feel like there was this huge alksjdwuoa going on and then when I wake up I don't know if it's okay to continue making the items or not and sell them or not because no one said anything about that ever again. It's rather worrying when the day before we had a staff say it was okay to rmail recipes, then hours later another one appears and everyone freaked out because it dawns on us that it's against the rules to do that and something about staffs agreeing that it's a deed to go punished. And then the next day everyone is happy and nothing happened to anyone. :? Eh. Welp. Ok. I'd like to suggest that if sharing recipes is still against the rules may we please have that in the rules. Along with 'no spamming' because no, those two are not common sense. Please don't assume that they are. Okay, I'm done. :B

Overall I loved the event, and the art was amazing, but I have a few suggestions. First, I agree with the above post that it was very confusing whether or not we could share the stardust recipes in any way. Also, before the recipe cards came out it was very frustrating because there seemed to be no way to figure out how to make the clothing. Second, I wish that we could see whether a pet had the stardust effect before they became an adult, even if it couldn't be turned on. Its difficult to keep track of what pets have been stardusted by the comet if they aren't adults. Finally I agree that gold stardust lacked a good use. I kept collecting it and couldn't do much with it.

I loved the whole silver, stardust theme, so sparkly and pretty! :D The artwork was awesome. I think perry and his little buddy were so awesome and I liked how you got to figure out the whole thing! It was awesome! I LOVE the new clothes, and I am so excited for another festival thing! It's my first on the site, and it has just made me love rescreatu SO much more!

Well... It's probably how it was over so soon and there wasn't that much to do in the quest stuff.

I love it! I love it SO much! I do understand how it works. I'm just so happy that this happened it's awesome! Thank you Res!

Um... I can't think of really anything bad! Just that there wasn't much to the quest, I think there should be more steps. It was overall awesome!
