  • Smurf's Village Limited Time Event - Excitement, Rewards and so on!!! (Pilot/Test Run)



    We need your help! Yes, the Limited Time Event is a brand new and exciting individual and community event, very different from everything else in The Smurfs' Village so far. This event is not a complete finished functionality, and you may encounter issues and questions while playing it. However, we would love your feedback, both positive and negative, with specifics as to what works and what doesn’t. If you do not want to participate in the event, no problem - just do not click the megaphone icon on the left side of your screen when it appears!

    PS: In order to participate in this LTE event, please update the game to the latest version - v2.22.2.

    QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS




    1. What is this LTE about?
    - The new Limited-Time-Event feature will provide a community ‘Leaderboard’ where players may climb by completing a series of in-game objectives. In-game resources and unique items will be rewarded to players who reach the milestone objectives.


    2. My friends are able to participate in the event, but I’m not seeing it in my game.
    - You need to be on v2.22.2 of the game to participate in the event. If you are in the older version, please visit App/Play Store to update the game.

    3. How do I access LTE? Does it cost to participate in the event?
    - The Event will become active when the timer is up, and a tutorial will play automatically once the event is online. This event can be accessed by tapping on the Megaphone Icon on the left of the screen.
    It does not cost anything to participate.


    4. Anyone can participate in this event?
    - Everyone above Level 5 can participate in this event


    5. Can I play with my friends as a group?
    - Players won't be able to play as a group but will be competing against each other for the placement on the Global Leaderboard and cooperating to increase the rewards everyone receives when the event ends.


    6. How often does the LTE event happen?
    The first pilot event will run for 6 hours and the subsequent events will run for a longer duration.


    7. What are the rewards for participating?
    - In-game resources and Prize items will be rewarded.

    8. Can I play the Event Offline?
    - Sorry but no, this event cannot be played offline. You must be connected to the internet to play the event and have your progress counted. If there are some connection issues you may see a warning box with ‘LOST INTERNET CONNECTION’ message.


    9. Do I need to be logged in to the Smurf ID to play the event?
    - You don’t need to be logged in to your Smurf ID to play the event.


    10. Do I have to complete all three Objectives which are shown at the start in Smurfy Goal to unlock the first rewards?
    - You can complete any three Objectives to unlock the next node. As soon as the objective is met, it will get replaced by a new Objective. If a user completes any 3 Objectives, then one node station is unlocked, and the rewards will be given for the unlocked node station.
    The number of tasks required to be completed for unlocking the next station is mentioned on the right side of the Track 'Complete To Unlock Next'


    11. How do I claim my rewards? I tapped on the chest, and a window popped up showing the rewards. But they have not been added to my account. I did not see any claim button, and I closed it. Where did my rewards go?
    - To claim the rewards, players have to tap on the individual rewards to collect them. Even if you have closed the reward with the ‘X’ icon, it will reappear when you reopen the Smurfy Goal Tab.


    12. Can I change an Objective that I find too hard to complete?
    - There is an option to Skip Objective by using Smurfberries next to the Objective in Smurfy Goal Tab. Players will receive rewards even if they complete objectives using Smurfberries but they do have to complete 3 objectives (skipping 3 objectives using Smurfberries or partially completing using normal gameplay and then completing remaining by Smurfberries) to unlock the next set rewards.

    13. What are the goals in LTE?
    - Players will be completing Objectives available in Smurfy Goal Tab for Individual rewards. Village Points earned during the process will be accumulated and if the Village Goal is reached before the event ends, then everyone will receive Crate rewards that are available in the Village Goal Tab


    14. What are the Trophy Shards and how do I get them?
    - Trophy Shards(Pieces) are needed to unlock the Trophy. Once enough Trophy shards(Pieces) for the Trophy are collected, players will be able to place the trophy in the Village. Each time the Village Goal is achieved, all participants will receive Trophy Shards (Pieces) of a Trophy. How many Shards (Pieces) you get depends on your placement on the Leaderboard. So those players that participate more (contribute more Village Points) will get more Shards (Pieces) and those that participate less will get less. Once a player has accumulated enough Shards (Pieces), they will unlock the Trophy and will be able to place it in their Village


    15. I completed an objective but my rank is not updated.
    - Since the data is saved on the server, it sometimes takes a while to update on your device.


    16. I won an item and I want to place it in a different location apart from the Main Village. Can I do that?
    - When collecting any placeable reward item, players will get an option to choose the area where the item can be placed.


    17. I planted a crop while the event was live and now the event has ended and I have collected the crop. Can my points still get added to the Leaderboard?
    - You will receive the Village Points only for the crops you have harvested while the event is running. But you will still receive the XP for the crop planted.


    18. Can I play any mini-game in the objective ‘Play any mini-game X10’ or do I have to play the same one 10 times?
    - Players can play any 10 mini-games or they can also play the same mini-game 10 times to finish objectives. Mini-games can be played in any area of the map. (Baker is also considered as a mini-game and can be used to complete this quest)


    19. What are Village Points and why do I need to collect them?
    - Village Points decide the player's position on the Leaderboard. The more Village Points you collect, the higher you get placed in the Global Leaderboard. Once the Village Goal has been accomplished, everyone will receive the crate rewards. But you will get more Trophy Shards, a UNIQUE ITEM that is only for this event. The higher you stand on the Leaderboard, the more Trophy Shards you can receive, which is a Unique Item.

      SandeeCheeks It’s like Tracker, something you only see in your village during the time span, in this case later on today for a few hours.

      It hasn’t started yet, Skyblack. Please note that the date and time are stated in UTC. So, in many places, it starts later today, the 25th!

    Sounds fun! BUT…... 11 o’clock at night until 5 in the morning?!!! I doubt if many players this side of the pond will be able to play for the leaderboard! I know someone has to be unlucky here - and it’s us in the UK and Europe! I hope PopReach will consider varying the timing in future runs (if there are any) so that more of us can join in the fun. Enjoy, those who can!

      Chat noir Unfortunately time zones are an issue this time. I believe that Popreach only wants to run a short term event so there’s no way to run it for everyone. To do that it’d need to last 1-2 days and in case there’s an issue that’s a very long time for players games to possibly be effected. It’s my understanding that the real event will be similar to Tracker or MIAB in that it will span several days.

    You need to be on the new version 2.22.2 and the megaphone icon will appear when the LTE is available i.e 11:00 UTC on 25th of January.

        Due to time difference there might be a delay of a few hours in getting replies to your queries. But most queries will be replied within 10-12 hours.
        Thank you for showing interest in the Event and we look forward to your participation.

          Thanks you for showing interest in the Pilot run of the event. We are aware that most of our players are in different time zones and some will miss out when the event is for a shorter duration. For the future events, the duration will be longer so that everyone can participate. However, for the first run, there is a server requirement to keep the event running for 6 hours and the servers are set accordingly. Thank you for your understanding and we will soon be updating you on when the next event will be with the longer duration

        That's 6PM to midnight ET, which is better than my friends in Europe, however, that's dinner through 9:30 PM bedtime for me.

        Are these permanent hours or is it just for the test?

        If PopReach wants global participation, maybe rolling test periods would net more inclusive feedback.

          Just for the test Schtroumpfette It’s my understanding that the actual event will be similar to Tracker or MIAB in that it’ll run for several days. For this test they’re keeping it a short duration in case there are issues. Of course it’s not a perfect time for everyone, but there’s no way to make it a perfect time for everyone given time zones.

          This kind of test involving many, many players is very unusual, Schtroumpfette, in fact, I can never remember anything like it in the history of the game. So it had to be run at a time when it could be closely monitored by PopReach.

          skydiver118 that sounds interesting. I hope the implementation does not extend the period on Android where the safe close/exit buttons don't work.

          Cupcake that makes sense.

          I wasn't thinking of the number of players as much as a few players from each regional area to catch any issues in the regional implementations of the game.

        Thank you PopReach for releasing a Beta/Pilot test for TLE. Smurf Village is a decade old game - and content like these are needed to make the game more enjoyable. Of course when the event arrive,I will participate.

              Es triste que no todos los jugadores tengamos las mismas posibilidades, este sistema beneficia principalmente al continente americano y creo que somos muchos los jugadores de otras partes del mundo. Debería empezar a la misma hora en cada país y terminar a la misma hora según zona horaria. Por ejemplo, a las 17:00 tanto en madrid como Los Angeles, Tokio, pekin o Sydney. Las recompensas y clasificación no se darían hasta que acabasen de jugar los del último país o zona horaria para tener todos las mismas posibilidades. Creo que en Europa, África y parte de Asía sólo van a poder participar las personas que no tengan que madrugar al día siguiente. Es una buena idea pero mal organizada. Deberían mirar el sistema de otros juegos que dan las mismas oportunidades seas del país que seas. Suerte a los que puedan jugar a esas horas!!!!!!!


              It is sad that not all players have the same possibilities, this system mainly benefits the American continent and I think there are many players from other parts of the world. It should start at the same time in each country and end at the same time according to the time zone. For example, at 17:00 both in Madrid and Los Angeles, Tokyo, Beijing or Sydney. The rewards and classification would not be given until those of the last country or time zone had just played to have all the same possibilities. I believe that in Europe, Africa and part of Asia only people who do not have to get up early the next day will be able to participate. It's a good idea but poorly organized. They should look at the system of other games that give the same opportunities whatever country you are. Good luck to those who can play at those times!!!!!!!

                O.RUS I know it’s frustrating to not be able to take part. Unfortunately there was no way to set it up so that everyone could try. The support team wanted to keep the first ‘in the wild’ test short in case there are issues so to minimize the player effect of those issues. I do not know if there will be further tests or if this is the last one before it goes live, but I have been told that the event itself will span several days.

                Ultimately the support team had to choose the time zone that worked for them so they could be on hand to monitor it, and since they do not have a full staff 24/7 they had to pick a time zone. It just happens to fit well for the US, it could very well have been Europe.
