So ? This year we get to farm cake slices for cake helm or prize boxes that doesn't give rare stuff like aura, prismatic stuff, Shadow stuff and Etc...
All we ever get is equal chances of Toppers, Field caps and Feather caps.....I like the other event better, including 2013 anniversary...

Awww waaaaah, no more trillions of the same three accessories every year filling the Auction House with duplicate rubbish.

I hope they remove the Frosty and Hallow boxes as well and replace them with something else, that'd be great.

P.S. if you want the Shadow/Divine/Prismatic/Volcanic Party Hat/Party Blowout/Candle from last year, there is no end to them on the Auction House, spend to your heart's content.

P.P.S I'm sorry that you're the only one who wants the same event items year in, year out.

Ugh, yeah. I just hate how OOO for once actually didn't make an event stuffed with high end prismatic, divine, volcanic, and shadow items only available to end game players. And it's just disgusting that they made a mission that's for once not a SoL sink and silly hard!

The final part of A Gremlin in Knead --- the part with the mixer --- seems to be popular with players (including me).

I can't believe they'd do

I can't believe they'd do something new instead of recycling old content like everybody complained about!!

A Gremlin in Knead is very fun. I hope we see more new things like that.

Pretty sure everyone has one already

The longer you wait, the more expensive they're going to get.

The new bosses are just reskins with more hp. Sure, the mixing part is kind of clever but you can completely escape it by going onto the platform where the party button is

Since the first anniversary, i never expect something good for April 4th. since they never do a good or epic anniversary event, so every year i just expect a bad anniversary event, same with the prizes of the anniversary. i dont going to lie i also expected a new mission with the anniversary event, after all they add a new event or mix it with another event (for example: winterfest with grinlinch assault, or dark harvest festival mixed with the apocrean event).

When i saw the pan in the files i was so happy that they at least would add another event like we know those "spark sink" event to get the mats for teh new stuff, but then when i realized there wasnt an inventory icon for it... again i was dissapointed to the fact that wouldnt be a new weapon, so my illusions to have a pan to hit stuff and make funny noise pan... destroyed.

However when i saw the mixer arena and the creepbots was kinda "happY" with a small "hope", why? well i liked the mechanic of the arena, every end round, the mixer activates, every creepbot destroyed drops the creepcake so i liked the idea of an enemy to continue the fight after i destroyed the first form (no boss), so with the stuff i saw in the new mission of anniversary i have really a hope they will add new mechanics for the game and those 2 new mechanics of the anniversary event are just a small peek of the things that will come in the bigger update (i mean new fun mechanics) so with that anniversary event just give me a small light of hope and faith in OOO.

But then again... every anniversary it just a dissapointment for me.

Last year A Gremlin in Knead didn't exist.

Neither did Shroud of the Apocrea.

Be happy you all have something new.

Well excuse me

These new top hats are what I didn't know I needed.

They are just perfect in every way.

Oh, boo hoo, the event doesn't have anything that will allow me to get rich quick.

Deal with it. New and different content is always an added benefit to the game especially as it's completely optional here.

I agree that it would be nice to have the sprinkle aura inside of boxes rather than meh looking feather caps. I fought my way to the end and won... all of 3 prize boxes before becoming content with my prize box situation? Which sucks because if I want a sprinkle aura I'll have to pay the whole 200k to get one, but is kind of nice because I don't feel any pressure to grind the event. None at all. Honestly, the event itself isn't that huge of a deal anyway.

I opened three boxes and got three toppers, which is exactly what I wanted, so I'm satisfied.

I'm sort of bummed that you can't attach anything to the Cupcake hats though... I wanted to be a Fancy Cupcake!

Meh..

Since the event started I have sold 8 Topper Hats, 10 Field Caps, 4 Plumed Caps, and 1 Stately Cap. I'm still waiting to get a Regal Stately Cap, but that's going to take some luck. Yes, this event isn't an easy way to make money like the Hallow event, so what? Yes, you actually have to do a little grinding and work if you want some profit, but no one is forcing you to. I know plenty of people who got their caps and hats, and said they were completely done with the event.

Now I do wish there was a chance, even a small one, for a Sprinkle Aura from the boxes. I feel ridiculous having to pay an obscene amount of cr or 4.5k ce just so some sprinkles fall off of me, but the look just wouldn't look right without it. I'm just glad this event has some new content that doesn't take away 1-3 SoLs every time you do it. And new costumes that are available to all players, not just repeated accessories and costumes that only mid-level and end game players could afford, like the Hallow and Christmas events.

/e applauds for Three Rings :D

Yes I totally agree. Tier one cake rooms and Tier 3 cake rooms have the same cake slice payout chance which means tier 1 players have access to the costumes. While it does take alot of grinding, its nice seeig OOO at least being nice on the SK Anniversity event.

I love seeing people complain

I love seeing people complain about sprinkle aura prices. How quickly we forget about the days people were paying 40-70k E for a sprinkle aura...

Love the event and the fact that it's different (and so are the rewards so I actually WANT to play it!) :) :)
