Meet Mandaçaia! (man-dah-SAH-yah)

She’s visiting from the rainforests of South America. She’s hopeful, co-operative, proactive, and pragmatic. Fragmentation and isolation has diminished her home, but she’s convinced the key to regrowth is through connections with others.

Hi Hatch Dragons players! We wanted to give a heads-up on some tuning tweaks that will be coming to future events.

After this coming event - Busy Wings - ends, you may notice some changes to the difficulty of the stretch goals. These are the ‘second go-around’s’ of the event once you complete it.

We have seen that some players have been burning themselves out trying to complete the events multiple times, thinking this is a necessary part of the game. But the second round of goals has always intended to simply be an extra challenge once the event is completed. A feature for the very dedicated players, as a way to continue playing if you really wanted to earn a few more rewards.

Due to this becoming an unsustainable practice, we are making some tuning changes to make these second goals more of a striving challenge as they are meant to be. More specifically, the difficulty of these goals will be increased by 50% from the base event and be called ‘Super-complete Rewards’.

For clarity, this will NOT affect the normal event at all! These changes are solely for the stretch goals once the event has been completed.

We understand that this may seem like a frustrating change at first, but we hope this will help encourage a kinder relationship with events at the end of the day.

For more information on Super-complete Rewards, please check out our FAQ here: https://runaway.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/58328435794585-Super-complete-Rewards
