We designed the Summer Festival Baskets the same way as the Spring Festival Baskets. The only difference is that instead of a Regular Essence as the secondary reward, you have a chance at an Enhanced Lighira Essence (worth 750 Diamonds), or a bunch of various philters.

Sorry I didn't know that. I didn't get a spring basket because I had no money then. I thought the basket was different and that 1 legendary item was in them for sure. My bad.
I still think it's not fair if people end up with philters though. I agree that if you get an enhanced essence your really lucky and will have a discount . xp But to pay real money and get ..philters.. That is just no fair to people who worked hard to earn that real money.
So now there is a basket with gamble, you either get worth more or less then what you paid. But for people who can not afford to gamble maybe a basket that has certainty would be nice. You would get items and or stuff that has the same worth as the diamonds paid. Like in a shop.
Also in easter you could go egg hunting. Random eggs would appear on the screen and you could klick those. You could get legendary items trough those eggs as well.
It is only a sugestion though. I know If there is a basket withhoud gamble I would buy that one even if it is 200 diamonds extra or something.
Either way thanks for making the festival. I'm looking foreward to fighting the named. Hopefully I'll find legendary items with them.

@Amberanime,
I think you're confused on what's contained in the baskets.
There are a total of 28 Avatar Items in the basket: 22 Epics and 6 Legendaries. Of which, the vast majority aren't even in the game atm. You are guaranteed 1 of these 28 Avatar Items in each basket.
In addition to that, you also have a chance to find an Enhanced Lighira Essence, which would actually be a 'profit' for you since it costs 750 Diamonds and you only paid 500 Diamonds - plus got an Avatar Item to boot. However, if you do not get an essence, you then at least get some useful philters.
Does that make more sense?

Is the demo zone the same as the summer festival zone? Because that's where I get linked to.

@Taptothebeat,
You have to Exit Zone first. In the new system, you're locked into zones. If you want to change, you have to leave the one you're in first.

The first Named is now available.
All seems to be working correctly so I will now be adding in the remaining 6 Named over the course of the next few hours.
Since we ended up with about double the Named I anticipated, I will also be expanding the zone a bit. So if you see the zone changing as you're exploring, just think Matrix.

@Krinadon,
Thank you for trying to explain, but I understood that already.
I think you are not understanding me
I know 1 item is guarenteed, but not 1 legendary item. The chance you get one is there yes. But it is only 6 out of 28. Meaning the chance of getting that legendary item with only one basket is very small.
I also do not think of the philters as very usefull. Sorry I mean no offence with that but I never use them. Except maybe amnesia and gender swap. Are these 2 included in the philters?
Like I said earlyer, yes if you have the enhanced essence you are lucky and get a discount. Instead of 750 you paid 500. But that is the gamble part. That you can get philters is also a very real chance, if not a more likely chance. And then your 500 diamonds are a bit waisted. Unless you got a legendary item but again that is only a 6/28 chance. So you have more chance of getting stuf worth under 500 diamonds than you do getting stuff worth more then 500 diamonds. The chance is there yes, but it is smaller.
So I am not saying that those baskets are bad or anything, you can in fact get really really lucky with them. But thats just it. It depends on luck. And if you have little money (and bad luck) and you spend that little money and do not get something worthwhile in return that just stings. Especially because that same money could have baught you something real that you can hold with your very hands, help you pay bills or other things. So if there was an option of a basket that did not gamble that much, like a basket that has at least 1 legendary for sure, not an epic item, and ask a few more diamonds for them than that would be great. Because I'd rather spend more diamonds knowing I'll get a legendary item than less diamonds and hoping for the best which has a very slim chance of happening.
I will understand if you will not make a basket like that, but I thought requesting it could never hurt.
Thank you for doing your best and answering me as fast as you did.

Well I don't think you should view the epic avatar items as a waste. Especially at this point, almost all of them will be items you don't have yet.
If we had a 100% guarantee on the legendary items, it would kinda defeat the point of it being a legendary lol. It would become a relatively common item and deflate its value.
And for the philter question, those philters are not available from the basket.
