Did you get help on the Easter egg hunt?

[Firesquids]

In light of the rule changes for the Easter egg hunt this year it got me wondering, how many people took the opportunity to seek help?
Did you like the new event format or do you prefer having only solo eggs?

Personally I think it took a lot of the pressure off of the Holiday for me and I was able to relax and have fun.
Plus it was fun to bounce ideas off of other members. I wonder what the staff will end up doing with future events.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

Oh yes. I wouldn't have this many eggs without the help of several awesome forum members. I did find a few eggs by myself though! I am so glad collaboration was allowed this year

 

[Midoriya]

I found some on my own and some with the help of others. It definitely took the pressure off of the event!

 

[Giddy]

I asked for help, only when I ws actually drained and really couldn't see any patterns in the riddle to things on the fourm. Most of the riddles never seem to click to me properly so I usually run off the deep end and look everywhere that isn't necessary.

I think it definitely felt comforting to start talking to different people and that they're nicer enough to help out. I took my time to look first and ask later which I think is a nice way, as long as you tried, because everyone has their own way of thinking or coming up with things.

I really wanted to attempt all of the clues myself first, but it got stressful! I would wake up, and there would be nine new clues.

It was definitely satisfying when I found the eggs myself. I am still missing a few eggs, but thankfully with help from @xara and @xSuperMario64x I managed to get the ones that were eluding me!

i did. i tried my best to find every egg and solve every puzzle on my own, but my brain’s pretty foggy whenever i have to, y’know, actually use it lmao, so i got help from a few friends in a discord server i’m in. we all worked together, and i tried to chip in and throw out suggestions and ideas when i could. i probably wouldn’t have found more than maybe a handful of eggs without them, so thank you guys ily. :’) you know who you are. <3

to kind of pass it forward in a way, i tried to help as many people as i could with finding eggs and solving clues as well. as of right now, i have 40+ egg hunt pms in my inbox (over 3 pages worth). i was done with all the batches that were out at the times i offered help, so it wasn’t me trading hints or locations or anything… it was just me helping lol. doing so made me feel really good and gave me a chance to talk with some old friends/acquaintances and users i hadn’t crossed paths with before, but it was also exhausting. receiving a large amount of pms all at once and throughout the past 2 days was pretty overwhelming, plus i’m pretty sure i’ve maxed out my socializing limits for the next month lmao.

i don’t regret it, though. i received help and in turn was able to offer help to others, and i feel pretty good about that.

yes, i had help from several people! i would guess that i found about half by myself and received answers for half from others which tracks because half was roughly my result during the last egg hunt too lol.

personally, i like the change! i was skeptical when it was announced because i lowkey assumed most people would split off with their friends and hoard answers which is fine but definitely would've left myself and other soloists at a disadvantage. i was glad to see that a lot of people have been perfectly happy and willing to help, even without receiving clues in response! i've been more than willing to help anyone who's DM'ed me just because i don't think the >100 thing is that worthwhile, and i'd rather see others get collectibles they want than maybe get a little extra egg currency for myself. it's definitely been a lot less stressful too.

genuinely my only critiques of this event would be the rule against even minor misspellings, the difficulty of the dreaded #6 clue and the difficulty of the math puzzle, especially compared to that of the other puzzles, since it's supposed to be a limited time one-chance only thing. otherwise, i've really enjoyed this event!

 

[Croconaw]

I only found one on my own so far, lol. I wouldn’t have gotten most of them without assistance.

This is an intersting point to bring up, I feel like having teams for the camp event and having the discord server helped spread out those seeking help instead of a bunch of people only going to a few people.

 

[mogyay]

yes! im working in a small group, its fun bc they try give hints for me to find the clues rather than the straight up answers so it's still a lot of fun. i really wish there was a separate help thread tho bc all the asking for help is ruining the chaos of the main thread lol

Agreed, maybe a team making thread and having set number of people who can be in a team.

 

[xSuperMario64x]

not only did I get help from others but I just spent the last hour or so helping so many people!! and I honestly have really enjoyed this time, it's allowed me to talk to lots of people I don't usually talk to and it's been a heck of a lot of fun!

edit: I want to give a SO to the members who helped me the most, @tiffanistarr, @LittleMissPanda, @Alienfish, @BetsySundrop, @~Kilza~, @hestu, and @oak! you guys are great and I really appreciate your help! especially since I was trying to balance spending time with my family for easter!

 

[Paperboy012305]

At first no, I wanted to prove everyone that you don't need help in to gain in advantage in the egg hunt. It obviously didn't go well.

Now that I swallowed my pride and asked for help, I found more eggs that I didn't. And I would like to help others with eggs they can't find on their own. Just PM me and maybe I'll help you find an egg you struggle with. (If it's #6, tough luck...)

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

Yeah, I got help. It was honestly a lot less stressful and I liked being able to help my friends. With the community clues, I think it really helps to hear other people's perspectives.

 

[amemome]

i did the first few myself and then worked as a team! i contributed my discoveries and got some eggs too, so i feel like i had a lot of fun with half the stress. it felt really good being able to help others.

Discord seems like it would help a lot, but I don’t use it for forums, lol. I just have a few friends on it — some in real life, some online.

 

[Snowesque]

Yep, I knew I'd probably struggle as I'm not really on the forum anymore, so I figured why not. I don't mind helping back either for those who wanted it. Definitely reminded me that the forums' community is always so helpful.

 

[oak]

I pretty much got help for every answer. I have no shame.

Same. An egg hunter I am not.

 

[Dwayne Johnson]

i reached out for a few, but mostly i just worked together with @Peach_Jam. i think we did a good job
