I really do love the xmas event and it have been my favorite event since i started on my first account (Duerenkran) - but i almost lost patience and hope, i used about 2-3 days (not full days, but alot of hours) just to get through those npc's and then getting smacked by the boss Charizard-X up to several really wanted me to quit the game again, cause from my point of view and since i didnt have any boss pokes or anything, i had my story mons and i tried using them without success, but imo it's not fair to the new players that the team made the bosses so hard, not everyone have the mindset or skills to beat bosses that literally smack you in the face, they was even harder (imo) than the normal bosses we have around the regions.
But i got some help and borrowed some pokes, so i could get done with the quest.
I was expecting more NPC's and events on the island, so u could use the advantage of that big map, instead it just felt empty when u went outside of wastelands and into the dungeon where sableye spawns.
I totally love that u gave us access to evergreen, still the best xmas map for me, mostly cause of u dont need to break your fingers while hunting.
Overall, it was a nice xmas event besides the quest and i hope it will change till next year, so every player who doesnt have a team and that just finished story to attend the event have a chance.
Add: Next time, if u didnt had Corsica planned to be added during xmas event, then u shouldnt "hint" it (dont know the correct word of it) cause u will just be met with dissapointment from some players.
