Larry, I'm a bit confused, where do you get the thing that you give to the day 1 person???To clarify the daily gifts are found in chests around the town. Each day a new one will unlock.
...If I didn't get help from someone, I might've spend well over half an hour looking for the right spot. Not a fan of this Noobmas event at all. I am a working man, I have a busy life. I don't have time to search every day. Some days I just need to quickly hop on and collect my gift before I have to go to bed. Please consider changing the advent chests.
I love noobmas but I really dislike the chests, like the person above me. I nearly missed the first chest yesterday, and I spent nearly an hour looking for it. The chests can be there all day, but they are in such random and not easy spots to find. They should be interesting to find, but they shouldn't take so long. Last years took a long time, but was totally easier to find than this years.
Had to be shown to today's gift again cause I couldn't find it on my own. Didn't have the time to get online yesterday and run around the town for half an hour, hoping to find it. What's supposed to be a fun, light-hearted Christmas event (my favourite time of the year) is turning more and more into a major annoyance. Really not happy with the advent chests, and I'm not the only one that's struggling with them.I appreciate your honest feedback, I'm sorry you're not enjoying it as much as previous years. I've tried to mix things up a little each year more recently; making changes and giving things a try.

This year I do agree there is a little more work involved in finding the chests, but it's not too much effort; all you need to do is go around the shops and other buildings in the town and look for the chests. All of them are in clear spots in/near the buildings and should stand out with the floating text above them, plus the one for the current day is clearly labelled as such with "TODAY" which should make it even simpler. I don't think putting in a few minutes of looking around is too much to ask, it's a reward for those who are willing to take part and spend time doing so, you can choose to take part in the activities by looking for them and accept the free items if you want to.
Completely forgot about Noobmas yesterday cause of a busy real life. Just got on today to get my box.

If you turn sound on, you can listen for the fireworks. I get that some people have lives, but you aren't owed a gift.. It's a remarkably small build, if you consider that you COULD be running around Noobstown main town, looking for gifts THERE. It's literally like 5 main streets. Even my lost self finds it, and pretty quickly.
It helps if you have done the quest, and you get more acquainted with the town. I do have a few tokens from every day since I missed the first day, so I'll list those on the AH if people need them.
I'm finding this pretty fun, and the gifts are cute.
(Apologies if this is a double post, having issues right now.)
Ah, right, I just had that happen, with the fireworks. It does help to know where in the building they are though. I maintain that it's REALLY not that difficult. If you're playing on Noobstown, and you've done the quest, it's really really not that difficult. I know everyone can't put in hours every day, but I know some of you who are complaining have spent a lot of hours on sometimes, so it's weird to hear how hard this is all of a sudden. :P
...If you consider the whole town the calendar then having to search for the chests is just on a bigger scale :P.
Often the doors are distributed across the calendar in no particular order.

I'm sorry that some of you haven't enjoyed things as much as in previous years. I agree it has taken more effort this year than in the majority of the previous ones, based on the way that current quests work my expectation was that a small amount of time spent looking (essentially a new small quest/event each day) might be something enjoyable or fun to do; I'm sorry you've not seen it that way.
I agree with the way Wikipedia describes the common advent calendars; I'll highlight:If you consider the whole town the calendar then having to search for the chests is just on a bigger scale :P.
However to make it quicker and less of a search for those of you who don't want to do that I've added some additional warps for each of the future days (including today). You can now use /warp gift12, /warp gift13, etc (/warp giftN). all the way to /warp gift25 to jump right to that day's chest. If you don't want to cheat it and still want to search that's also fine; the warps are just a way to skip the search.
I'll definitely take your feedback on board and reconsider how we do it next year. Plus if you want to provide feedback on any of the other events we've offered please PM me (https://www.noobscraft.com/pm/?sa=send;u=8) or if you have suggestions you are welcome to post them in the Suggestions Board (https://www.noobscraft.com/idea/).
