Might be good for lower to mid levels but not much here for the rest. I was hoping for a bit more improvement on this event tbh

Hurray, the [REDACTED] events starts :)

so I understood there's only 1 map that counts, and only that 1 map will have 3x xp and 3x loot, right?

Maybe wait to see what the revamped adv brings in the way of loot as its x3 might be worth it

Overall 5/10
+ event
+ serverside teamwork
+ bundles, +1 free bundle
+ more guild chat activity because event
+ more trade becuase event
- end reward weak, no motivation
- reward is worse than in 2012 (than that building was huge and gems)
- adventure is too weak
- adventure reward is nothing, no motivation
- 3x xp and loot still nothing

might be weak but as you have never played it nor has anyone else we dont know what the loot will be

There needs to be something inspiring for all levels otherwise the community goals are less likely to be reached. Maybe if map difficulty, XP & loot worked more like Misty Cake adventure for example.

04.03.21, 15:54
i the loot is still the same as i it is a lvl 26 adventure and not an epic version, then i fear it will be a no go for many players - will see tomorrow but wont be busting chops to get hardwood and marble rewards :P

Start of the event. Buy the bundle for the fish. End of event.

But maybe there are some hidden details which will make the event more interesting.

well seeing you gave us a map i went and did it and its rubbish what a complete waste of time this event will be you build up the suspense and excitement for a surprise event then drop this lol

reward from loot even x10 would still make it rubbish with the amount camps to kill

https://prnt.sc/10d1cnn


Can also fully understand why the event wasnt shown weeks in advance like normal events because you knew the roasting you would get also

where is the new adventure? this is the old one

Shame on you if you fool me, shame on me if i let you fool me again.....You fooled me in 2012, not gonna happen again this time, so count me out please....
Not gonna fall for this poop (seems to be the only pegi7 word that is aproperiate for this... event....) again......... For several reasons....

1) Comunity rewards, meaning there will be players who will bust of thier behind to get to the goals, and those who start selling them what they may need at high prices on trade, while laughing their behinds off cause of all those fools who are working so hard to get them rewards for wich they didnt do a thing except profit.....
Fix it so that only who really participated get the rewards they deserve and i might start to take these sort of events seriously

2) I still remember 2012 and what a disaster it was, not going there again, for no prize.....
Not going there again, not doing it...why even repeat this stupid event?

3) Even if i would forget the former 2 points and i would be willing to be bribed to compete in this event, then you'll gonna need a much and much better reward then the nonsense thats on offer now. What a rediculous reward scheme, not worth spending time on, sorry....

4) It starts on a Friday!!!! Are you guys nuts? So whatever bug gets discovered after 7 hrs of event, you guys will all be at home for the weekend, giving us hardly any chance to complain or contact support..... Sorry but thats asking for trouble....

So for al these reasons i will skip this event, totally ignore it , and wont take part, fine if that makes me a party pooper, but i wont be fooled this time around....

So i cant wait till Untiy arives, as that means this .....Darn what pegi word is availeble? Fear none except poop, event is far behind us.....

theres no xp in that loot, 3 x 0 = 0 xp!

i cant wait to farm this adv. i'm so bored of all the others available i'm sure a week of doing the same 1 over and over will be very exciting.

if ur struggling with stock bb, u dont have to send me the rewards at the end of the event. i have no use for them...

any1 wanna buy some steel swords?

Haven't seen the adv yet, but if its the one that's rumoured and means we are gonna get 3 x 8k then it hasn't got much going for it.

Who wants (or needs) a Grim Reaper, at least make it worthwhile, I would say at least a YGG but hopefully something even better.

Why not include some interesting buffs, Shotfirer for instance.

Wish you best of luck guys, but it is a... very brave move

* Was the adventure revamped? Back in 2012 it was very difficult for <36lvl players (quite a lot). Right now, with MMAs, Vargus and 250++ Generals I feel it may be trivial.
* EoW 2012 is in top3 worst events in TSO, and battles with Black Knights Monday for title of The Worst. I hope you know what you're doing.
* I do really hope that this is not a first sign of End of the World of TSO (Linux client, pls).

I think, I'll try to attend, but unlike the last time no waking up at 2 or 4 am to send the waves because the generals recover...

I see BB added the "may change" on the final rewards so not all lost yet but you need to have a system where anyone who does not take part "DO NOT GET ANY REWARD", that's currently over 90% of the 3 servers here that wont take part except to buy a bundle for some fish.

Stop the scroungers & act now BB.

- reward is worse than in 2012 (than that building was huge and gems)
- adventure is too weak
- adventure reward is nothing, no motivation
- 3x xp and loot still nothing

Here is how i look at it with same criteria: 1/10

i tries to stay positive and i was very excited about event but
- bad event (i am not giving + just coz it is event , it is event it self that gets graded)
- teamwork will not exist coz of very bad reward (10 days of doing same adventure with bad reward - if you do ANY OTHER ADVENTURE you will get MUCH better stuff)
+bundles, free bundle
- everyone in guild agreed event is bad, no chat about that
- no trades , event just does not provide anything useful
- end reward weak, no motivation
- reward is worse than in 2012 (than that building was huge and gems)
- adventure is too weak
- adventure reward is nothing, no motivation
- 3x xp and loot still nothing

and one more minus - Red color in adventure is really aggresive for eyes

Max_turtle
04.03.21, 23:32
grim reaper as a reward is realy weak, if the general would be much higher/ valuable the motivation would be much higher to take part even a mma would be much better

with 3x loot and xp it is still only 24k xp what can be done way faster and with so much better loot

the only upside is the bundle for fish - very much apprechiated ;)

Fuseboy
04.03.21, 23:32
The best things about this event are the farm, the fish bundle, and the story describing the event in the in-game mail.

No desire to own another Grim Reaper.

Big negative for me is the red map. It is painful on the eyes to look at it. Can't imagine wanting to do it more than once, it hurts. Wish you had an option to turn that off, or a color buff, or something.

The map is a zero loss map for me. ~20 recs if I wanted to be super efficient. For players without crossbows losses seem high.

I guess success will depend on how many times we have to do the map to get the rewards.. if I can churn out a few dozen and get an improved farm, I'm up for it. If we're talking hundreds... no thank you.

sanadar
05.03.21, 02:48
Okay have not posted for a long time but you asked for feedback and here it is.

1) the exp/resource/rewards for this event are extremely uninteresting except if you are a new player.
2) for FREAK sake, grout is the new golden commodity. add grout to the drops from the adventure and EVERY player on the game would spam this adventure. PERIOD.
3) i just don't understand why you do not understand point #2. worth repeating. The folks that are here want to play the game and see rewards for their efforts. 100 FREAKIN fish is not a loot i care about nor more grim reaper gens that I have not used in YEARS.
4) deco? thanks do not care.
5) your package deals, thanks but other than the fish the entire guild is convinced you are stuck in 2012

Seriously. this is not hard ... events should reward players with what they are seeking.

You made grout the most sought after scarce resource out there. Not a bad idea. I am doing a lot of Ali Babas and learning to love them. But really waste time on an event to get ... let me repeat ... 100 fish sorry 3x 300 fish as a reward?!?!?!

ROFLAMO

Please look at updating the addy to drop relevant resources and make it an incentive to do the adventure.

Lmao I think almost anyone saying they will just grab the fish package wont care on the global rewards if they was decent then spamming a rubbish adventure would at least serve a purpose but the worldwide rewards suck as much as the adv ones so doubt anyone is bothered.. i will do 10 or so to see a better picture of the loot table after that if its still the same I will wait till easter

05.03.21, 11:33
well.....just wow!!! All that effort for terrible loot & terrible xp! Lazy BB. I don't often vocalise disappointment about BB because it's not easy sorting it all out i imagine but.....honestly, you couldn't even change the loot to give some adventure scrolls, or sunflowers like most addies?

The red screen is horrendous also. Lazy lazy BB, am sorry to say I will not be helping out to do this. I don't even care for the rewards at the end of it all.

The only good thing about this 'event' is the stuff for 89k fish in the merchant.

Rant over....roll on Easter

lordloocan
05.03.21, 12:24
Only ''good'' feature is all the forums are equally disappointed by the event.

The thing is that 9 years ago we had a small range of adventures to play and any xp was welcome. I think 2012 was the year they launched Tropical Sun adventure to put that into perspective. Back then the loot was good, even 100 fish was a great result. All of the servers have now matured and this adventure is simply a repetitious process - there are only SIX types of camp within each adventure. Add to that the idea of doing these non stop for 10 days and you should be able to see why the majority will walk away from it.

If BB had really wanted to make it interesting they could have made the loot gradually improve the more of it we did. So, for example, every 10 goes the next loot is better. But no, just a re-run of a 9year old event.

Very lazy BB.

Dragavon
05.03.21, 12:31
I am sorry to say this event has nothing in it that interests me.

At lvl 70 then the adventure rewards and XP is nothing compared to what I get from woodcutter and other high level adventures. The event rewards are not at all useful to me, and I honestly hope my server does not achieve silver or gold reward, for me that would mean I get another general I will never use wasting space on my star menu.

It would have been nice if there was something for high level players too.

Pretty much same comments as above. Adventure rewards - meh - nothing to make me play. Red and pink colour scheme - ouch not good.
Community rewards - even new players in guild not interested in the tavern general.
Now if Bronze was Reaper, Silver was MMA/Boris equivalent, and Gold Cloaked/Loner/Ygg that would be very different.
Only thing I really want to know is what adventure search brings back the map - all of them??
I can probably benefit best from the event by selling maps I find.

Well after reading all this, I'm not even sure I want to log in.... I will as collecting all the collectibles seems a step up from the event LMAO.
I did say a while back that if the surprise event was to be an EoTW it needed some work .... removing the red was a minimum, updating rewards completely logical seeing the servers have matured over 9 more years. How on earth could you have missed that????
I was one of those that worked hard on the first EoTW, played for hours, made many friends who were equally if not more nuts than myself, some are still playing today. But seriously you can not expect even those nutters to do this, no work has gone in on BB's side, No effort and apparently little thought, you should once again be ashamed of yourselves for expecting us to except this level of performance....this is utter [ Redacted]

Rosejane
05.03.21, 14:56
Awful. I've still not finished my first attempt. Too hard on my poor eyes. I've done a PFB exchange so I'll go back to my usual adventures so I get the benefit from that. Sorry World - I can't contribute. The fish bundle was good though.

If BB had really wanted to make it interesting they could have made the loot gradually improve the more of it we did. So, for example, every 10 goes the next loot is better.

The adventure is very very boring. It is hard to see anything on the map when it is all red. Your eyes starts to hurt pretty fast. Besides that - the loot is not even worth mention. There is no quests - no achievements - no motivation to do any more than 1 - the first and the last of this very badly designed - very very boring adventure.
I had been looking forward to do something that gave me a goal. Like last years cultist season - but this is a big disappointment.

Feedback;
A very poor event, loot and xp are not worth the effort of the number of camps to kill.
The map is awful, I did one but I'm not doing any more.
Got my fish bundle and that's it, my mapfrags are for decent addys, not this nonsense.
Very disappointing.

Pendakor
06.03.21, 03:39
Decided to start the adventure yesterday and was looking forward to trying sth different.

Complete waste of time. Got 750 granite, 750 hwp,1200 is,150 settlers and 30k xp. Thats it!

Certainly no incentives to carry on. Bought fish bundle and I'm out. If no thought can be put into these events than rather not bother and just concentrate on the main events throughout the year.

That's my two cents anyway.

to prove if your are getting the correct loot and xp you would need to say what you got or better still a screenprint of the mail but even at x3 its still very rubbish loot as for the totals that is meant to be updated daily so we will see at somepoint today

I think you are all missing the point of this event... "The End of the World"
I reckon its BB's way of telling us that it really is the end of our settlers world, and in a few more days we will all be teleported to the new world of Unity. :)

So, its not really obligatory for you to thrash yourselves to death over the adventure, don't do it if you don't want to. On the final day of this world your volcano will erupt, blowing your world to smithereens, and then you will magically arrive in the new world.

Happy landings, :)

Nice to see that someone still has fate, and believes- I would not be surprised if they have not even started making the new server. It is much more likely that they got the dates wrong and this event is a really bad Aprils fools joke. It is nearly as bad as the past "shades of grey event" - only things that are better is that it is only the adventure that is red, and then the nice explorer package for fish.

OK, so spend 1fish on adventure, start it,( make 1 kill,) let expire, get 1 improved silo as reward.

Trade has 3 pages of active sales. Pepperige farm remembers when there were 26 pages outside event.

That won't count as a completed adventure, BB became aware that some players were doing this in the last Eotw event and issued a statement only completed advs counted not cancelled or expired advs.

this is good if they don't allow this type of behaviour to count as a completed adventure, ever......but for this event, you don't have to have completed, nor even have started one EOTW adv to receive the community reward?

Sadly yes this is the case.

Its one of my main objections against this event. Its a comunity reward for a comunitygoal, if it is reached (wich in this case i doubt) then everyone gets the comunal reward, if they participated or not.
Wich i think is unfair, better was it if they said if you, do 10 of this adv you get bronze, do 20 and get silver, do 30 and you get gold, and if you dont do an adv or less then 10 you get nothing........ sadly this aint the case....

where can i see my world's progress and target? during the anniversary event the meter motivated to keep grinding.

On German forum BB_Kamukan has said that they wont give updates in the weekends, tomorow (Monday) we will get the first results.

Original: Ich bin zwar nicht MOD_Tamaree, kann euch aber eine Antwort liefern.
Die Entwickler sind am Wochenende aktuell nicht zuegegen und eine Übersicht kann ich somit heute noch nicht ermöglichen. Wir werden ab morgen Übersichten mit euch teilen, sodass ihr seht wie ihr steht. Erwartet da aber bitte keine direkten Zahlen a la es fehlen 20.000 Abenteuer oder sowas, sondern prozentuale Angaben oder Aussagen über den "Stand". Ab Montag also bitte und verzeiht, dass wir am Wochenende keine automatische Übersicht ermöglichen konnten.

BB_Kamukan

Translated (Google-translate)
I'm not MOD_Tamaree, but I can give you an answer.
The developers are currently not present at the weekend and so I cannot provide an overview today. We will share overviews with you from tomorrow so that you can see how you stand. Don't expect any direct numbers like 20,000 adventures or something like that, but percentage information or statements about the "status". From Monday onwards, please and excuse us that we were unable to provide an automatic overview over the weekend.

*facepalm*

Because none at BB knew they aren't working weekends and couldn't tell us this from the onset?

Not that I give a damn. I did the one map, and if they aren't going to let my explorers find any more like they said in dev diary then screw em. I do not reward idiots and liars.

Dear Adventurers,

due to unforeseen technical issues, the specialists do not bring back the needed adventures. This is indeed making the whole fight a bit harder, but we are sure you still manage to get the trophies for your fellow settlers and yourself. If you're level 26 and active you will find an in-game mail with 5 of the needed adventures attached to it. Please use them freely to help your friends, guildmates, and the Settlers worldwide. Do not forget this is a worldwide community event to offer a special trophy for those who were not with us in the year 2012 or just want the item!

Furthermore, we will also share some adventure insights with you all soon. This was noted as a "daily" update and for the same technical issues not possible to hold up until now.

So basically :

- they cant provide information as to whos leading the race because they dont work over the weekend, but didnt bother to produce any kind of ranking when the event was introduced (which was during working days)
- noone bothered to test whatever they meant to deploy to live, so they didnt know the fundamental part of the event doesnt work, hence people cant get adventures to grind

and if this isnt funny enough for you, wait until the release of Unity client.

Do you want us to believe that anyone is counting ?? - Honestly - you did not bother make a way for us to see it how far we got. You did not bother to make quests or ach for the event. So I dont know who actually believe someone is counting,- maybe some does- some also believe in Santa and in the tooth fairy.

Shame on you if you fool me, shame on me if i let you fool me again.....You fooled me in 2012, not gonna happen again this time, so count me out please....
Not gonna fall for this poop (seems to be the only pegi7 word that is aproperiate for this... event....) again......... For several reasons....

1) Comunity rewards, meaning there will be players who will bust of thier behind to get to the goals, and those who start selling them what they may need at high prices on trade, while laughing their behinds off cause of all those fools who are working so hard to get them rewards for wich they didnt do a thing except profit.....
Fix it so that only who really participated get the rewards they deserve and i might start to take these sort of events seriously

2) I still remember 2012 and what a disaster it was, not going there again, for no prize.....
Not going there again, not doing it...why even repeat this stupid event?

3) Even if i would forget the former 2 points and i would be willing to be bribed to compete in this event, then you'll gonna need a much and much better reward then the nonsense thats on offer now. What a rediculous reward scheme, not worth spending time on, sorry....

4) It starts on a Friday!!!! Are you guys nuts? So whatever bug gets discovered after 7 hrs of event, you guys will all be at home for the weekend, giving us hardly any chance to complain or contact support..... Sorry but thats asking for trouble....

So for al these reasons i will skip this event, totally ignore it , and wont take part, fine if that makes me a party pooper, but i wont be fooled this time around....

So i cant wait till Untiy arives, as that means this .....Darn what pegi word is availeble? Fear none except poop, event is far behind us.....

Above i wrote thursday before event started, now we are some days into this mess called an event, i have to add some things.

"Dear Settlers,

What a dire turn of events! The dreaded cultists from 2012 are back with renewed strength"

This phrase from frontpage gave me the illusion that the adv would have been updated, with stronger troops and without that horrid red color, as that color was what made most people turn off in 2012 (including me.)
However to my and i think most players who where here in 2012 suprise there was nothing done at all to the adv, the loot even included the weapons loot in 2012 had , but since 2014 no longer do.

It seems learning from past mistakes is not a skill BB has. No removing that horrid red, no updated adventure with troops with renewed strenght as promised.....The players who did like the 2012 event and asked for a repeat did this mainly cause it was a hard adv, a difficult task to succeed and they wanted something just as challeging, so no suprise that the people most dissapointed with this event are the people who asked to repeat it....

First of all that headache causing color, you cant be suprised we hate that, we allready told you so in 2012, was for most players reason to stop doing them during that event. But no its still there, seems you guys like to create eyesight problems and headaches for your players.
9 Years those shamans had to renew their strenght so they would have better weapons this time around, doing it with the same weapons would be loonatic afterall, if they lost with them in 2012 when we hardly had any good generals or troops (most didnt even have xbows then)then for sure they dont stand a chance now. reason why they needed to restrenght, wich they did according to frontpage, sadly that was a lie, as they didnt restrenght at all, no hard troops in them, nah just the same rubbish as in 2012. (and while they where hard troops in 2012 they are easy ones now)

Simply copy/pasting an event from the past isnt just lazy, its darn insulting if you ask me. And i indeed do feel insulted with this poop...cant put it any other way.....
How much work would it have been to rework them camps, add some chupabra-like troops to it, maybe even make 3 versions, 1 for level 26 to 45, 1 from 45 to 60 and 1 for players above level 60, with according troops. Improved the loot so every player wants to play that adv not even for the end reward but cause its such great loot, just add some grout or obsidian ore and most players would have been grinding eotw adventures.

But nah, why even put in some effort, if you can just as wel lazy copy/past and outdated adv?

Bundles:
First lets praise the only positive thing from this event, the fishbundle, as i told people over and over, get the fishbundle and call event for ended......

Gembundles..... If it was meaned to create some gembundles really no one wants then congratulations, you outdid yourself this time, really none of them gembundles is even worth to look at, let it be buying them... Not only do i have gems for bundles, i would love to spend gems on some usefull bundles, and i am not alone, many like me are willing to spend gems on bundles, as long as they are worth it, sadly this event none of them excist.
If you cant even convince the players willing to spend gems they get a good deal buying that bundle then how will you even convince the majority who sits on their gems like they are golden eggs to buy them?

And then finally the fact you promise that explorers will find the adv. and that you would publish daily updates what the situation was , and how far people where from bronze or silver or whatever... 2 failed promisses, wich only add to the mess this event is.

Sadly seeing BB's reaction today they still dont get it, and are still going to press on with this nonsense, even got the nerve to encourage people to help others do the adv....LOL All I do is tell people get the fishbundle and run..... Dont do the adv if you care for your eyesight. I can only cincearly wish we will fail to even reach bronze tier, simply cause i dont want the rubbish we get as comunity reward, wich only consist out of starpoluters.

I can only hope that at least they will give an oportunity to deny, refuse the rewards, so I dont get punished with this "reward".


Last edition:
I want to congratulate BB on the fact that they managed to get allmost all players to unite against 1 common enemy, too sad it aint the shamans that BB hoped for, but against the people who decided this event in this form was a good idea..... :)

BTW Allmost end of the afternoon and still no update on the numbers....i start to suspect they are afraid to tell us how few adv really have been done

It would appear that this is aimed at low- to mid level players and I have absolutely no problem with that - they 'come up short' during most other events. I am happy to play my part.

In real life, throughout history, the End of the World have been predicted many times, but when it misses the deadline, the Doomsayers are rarely called upon for an explanation. This time at least, a transposition error divisible by 9 is proffered.

first set silver step @150% now it is 170% -- got it the event will finish on 170 %

they havent set silver at 170% what there saying is if we carry on we will have got 170% so that will be the silver level of rewards ..that in itself is a miracle as no one i know is doing it they did a couple to start off with then gave up

They can give us any number. We have no way of knowing if it is real or made up - so who cares. They might have counted - they might not,- just adding to the general view of this - a very bad joke.

wait, oh no, never mind, i can´t play the game because BB f*c*e* up the transition to unity and me and a lot of other players were left out, since december, and this is what? the third event i've been left out of because of incompetence???
but i'm not worried, the 3rd event will not be the last :D

They also don't grasp the idea that people used to play on multiple servers at the same time. I sometimes had between 3 and 5 worlds open playing adventures on them all in events. Now I login and do the basics on 4 worlds and then hop to here, Northisle, to play properly. However, that means I then count as active on the other 4 worlds for when they work out the event percentages. I know many others who used to run two worlds in parallel and I am sure they are doing the same as me and concentrating on their main world. Basically the percentages are totally messed up because of this.

If your going to delete my posts, at least do me the courtesy of notifying me the reason and which rule it was in breach of. If my humored criticism hit a nerve, then I'm sorry, but in the current situation of producing a `non event', and making it out that all is well despite the negative feedback your getting across all servers, it was in my mind justified. Stick your head in the sand as much as you like at BB HQ, but I won't be joining you. This has been a total disaster, and that is taken amongst all the other disasters you have pushed on to your players over the years, by simply ignoring what you have been told about those previous disasters.
You have never learnt from your mistakes , and like many other players, I can not conceive how you continue to operate with such arrogance and contempt for those in the player community. We participate in test and post feedback in the forum only to try and make a good game better, and are then ignored or now are edited out, because it rocks your delusions.
You want me to say nice things and massage your ego's then EARN IT!! Fix the [ redacted] game, stop misleading your players and producing second rate `events', show us you can develop the game. Not copy/paste the efforts of your predecessors, and then to compound your incompetence, by including the bugs and failings that they made back then!

I complained about this before. And i understand that most people don't see it as a problem. Reward for event is Grim Reaper General. That general is OK and i liked it, 5 years ago (random number). And no, I don't want You to invent another general. ATM i have 59 generals, 5 of them are Grim Reapers. I tried to limit my generals to 5 of a kind, but there are always offers I can't refuse (like this one). There are generals and geos that i never used, and don't see myself using in future. Explorers can always be used, even if it doesn't make any sense. I rarely play adventures, because finding general is time consuming and sorting doesn't help at all. This game was fun, and now is more of a chore. I was thinking of abandoning this account and start a new one, but then I'd need to transfer all my friends and probably would have the same problem again after a while. I would like to see a way to delete unwanted stuff and and/or a way to refuse unwanted items.

I want to let you know that our team is working very hard to get the Unity version available as soon as possible so that everyone can play again in their web browser.

If you want to share your opinion about this event, please be constructive. There is absolutely no issue with leaving negative or positive feedback, but please focus on the event.

Many players cant play atm and i presume this is why last event the loot wasn't awesome and this event aint nuthin to write home about either. It really would be unfair if we were getting gr8 rewards while others are locked out of the game. At least bb are giving us something to do.

After playing for 6 yrs I took time out throughout 2020 and came back at xmas to discover i'd missed what appears to be the best rewards since the MMA! never mind i thought, i can pick up another cpl of gr8 gens especially sylvana and another ygg this year along with a blacktree, lazaret, the little building with the balloons and all the other gr8 new stuff. imagine how i feel now!

Done a fair few EOTW advs on Northisle but as I cannot have several worlds open at once I don't plan to do others on my other worlds unless I have to.

Can BB confirm/deny the comments on most world chats that players have to do at least one EOTW adventure to gain any even rewards?

12.03.21, 11:07
Changing the rewards 3 days before the event ends is too late to add interest for it.


Gold Tier: 200% Trophy (Doomsday Shrine - Gold), 4x The Mother Tree Ritual, 1x Improved Farm, 1x Grim Reaper General, (NEW) 1x Master of Martial Arts, 1x Pirate Residence, 6x Weak Point Potion, 3x Elixir.

This event is definitely growing on me. I know a couple people in my guild could really use an MMA (and truth be told you can never have too many) and the adventure is easy to do and relaxing -- nice not to have a spreadsheet or guide up all the time while playing. I'm rather enjoying it. Yes it would be more efficient for my game to do a different adventure, but that's fine with me. It's fun to have something different to do.

There are no numbers for today and probably wont be any for tomorrow as the numbers thing is probably a manual check or a fixed curve on an excel sheet by employee X who has left the "office" for the weekend. I guess we will see real or fabricated results on Monday but I'm not sure if BB can afford people to get any more angry as they already are for the no effort event and last minute reward changes on top of the client problems and missing Unity status. Maybe the Friday cliffhanger results are part of the plan... and on Monday the result will be something like +202-210% and BB will congratulate us all on a successful weekend push to the gold even if all just sat there watching (red) paint dry :rolleyes:

It's true. MMA is more interesting reward, but would hardly be incentive even if known from the beginning. Unfortunately the event was very poorly designed, but since nobody knows what is going on with the numbers we can still get MMA anyway. :) Nobody can check if we really made it, or BB just gave us grace gift to make us happy. :) Whichever way we get MMA, if we do get him, I won't send him away :)

Message on the German forum posted today by BB. So who knows we get gold with this ehm poor event.
Translated with google.


On Friday and Saturday, the Gold Trophy was still within the scope of the possible and thus also the added MDK. Many people simply forget that it is not just an achievement by "Germany", but worldwide and here in relation to active players. It should be clear that there will be more games on the weekend.

But as you may have seen at the last event of this kind (and no, I don't mean the end of the world event from 2012!), We won't talk nicely about that. If the settlers do not manage to achieve the specified values, we will not add any numbers.

But it corresponds to the fact that I have no one here on the weekend who can calculate the exact percentages for the "worldwide" activity. Yesterday I was able to record an increase based on the German numbers and write it down "roughly". Today I cannot and will not anticipate this, because in the end I cannot make a 100% statement here and "estimates" do not bring anything to anyone or are ultimately seen again as "promises", which I cannot vouch for this time. The text in the main topic will therefore not be updated today.

But what I can say in general is that all settlers were much more active "on" at the weekend and played just as many adventures. Whether it was enough or not

Cully
14.03.21, 21:35
The first time I did this I got around 22K xp, and again the next time. I put a premium on and did a few over the weekend because it was easy xp. I used exactly the same troops every time - and yet the last 3 I did I only got 13K xp and this included the additional xp for the premium buff. Surely this can't be right? If I'd known the XP was going to go down I'd have saved my premium. Feel I've just wasted it.

Nogbad
15.03.21, 05:36
That's weird Cully, with the 3x XP the standard adv should have given over 24k, as the original had around 8k xp (a bit more actually).
Looking at your figures, it looks like the last 3 advs didn't apply the 3X event xp bonus, as 8k plus 50% would give you around 13k as you saw.
Think this must have bugged out for you as I know you wouldn't have "skipped" half the sectors and not noticed.

For future reference, by going slowly and using Gen Tremblebeard and a skilled up Mary, I got it up to 44,405xp without using premium. Could have got that a bit higher but was too tempting to knock off an hour or so by nuking Sector 9 and splitting forces for a 2-pronged attack.

Unfortunately, even though this was my favourite event which I'd been longing to do again, it was badly messed up by poor information and lack of progress reporting. Also was held back by the limitations of the client, previously I could run the same adv on 3-5 servers simultaneously, doesn't need much extra concentration with the repetitive camps so could only do 1 at a time. With this horrible Covid/bronchitis combo making me fall asleep at the comp so often, was hideously slow progress. :(

Really hope BB keep it at 24k xp and loot as the old map was terribly undervalued at 8k and no loot at all.
That would make it about 75% as rewarding as SotV which is same difficulty level and similar size.

Maybe they are more active and do more, because someone bothers to tell them what is going on? - Maybe that was an idea for BB in the future? - same level of information on all servers - I would like that very much.

Wow shocked to see we achieved Silver but as for the World Rankings per server - Nope, I'm not shocked as they mean nothing. If you was to publish the World Rankings along with the number of active players per server (or even just a %) then that would mean something.

As it is, the top 14 servers are all German. Am I surprised by that? Of course not, they are the servers that always seem to be at an advantage with the information sharing they get and the benefits they get. Will I be surprised when the German servers continue to out perform ours on gem sales and other gifts? No, just disappointed.

Thank you for the MMA general, the event was bad but your decision to reward us anyway is a good thing. Thanks again :)

Yes, thank you BB for the generous gifts. But actually, too generous, please make sure any future "community events" have some kind of cut-off mechanism so that those who didnt really do anything (appropriate to their level), don't get anything at all, and then don't get to rub it in at the end. My first and last community event unless such reward system is announced at the beginning

Stop whining did it affect you in anyway if people got the rewards and didn't do anything? The answer is no you still did what you did knowing full well if you did one adv or none of a 100 you all got the same

Information can only get you so far in a competition that is, supposedly, about grinding content (although, as some wise man once said, doesnt matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes).

The problem with german servers is half of them is also over a year older than any other language version, which, years ago, meant that players were much better established and could afford more in an event like this, and now it just means they had much more time to get bored and quit (which shows if you actually play there, given the number of trade offers for example).

So whats surprising is that you dont find it surprising that servers, that all things considered, should be almost dead at this point, are winning the competition :)

but its already in place, its called 'bb rewards system' and if it wasnt for the fact they added MMA to the list of the rewards, 'nothing' would be precisely what everyone would get, because thats what other rewards are valued at ;)

As others said, thanks for MMA gift. I am sure especially newer players appreciate that very much, and imo it sort of saved the event which was otherwise not so well executed. To be fair I expected you to give us that MMA one way or the other, which is to say that I believe in good will of you guys from BB. So in the end I think you did quite well given the circumstances and pressure with Unity transit, and I think it boosted the hopes and the spirit of at least some others too. Thanks again.

I really dont care about the rewards. I would have liked something that gave more activity. Like more quests and ach - and something that makes people help each other.

Yes grinding a very poor adventure that makes your eyes hurt is activity. But we have no way of knowing if anyone was counting besides the reports that came during weekdays. When the report came on Monday it was way too late as the event started on Friday. We had no way of knowing if those numbers was just made up or what. And at Monday, many players had already resigned from the event. Most or at least many players stopped after doing one adv, they did not feel any motivation to do a bad adventure for what had no value for players who had played for years.
For me an mma dos not mean anything - number eleven to clutter the star. But the reward is the least of it, I need something to do. I had been hoping for something like the cultist event we had last year.

I wasnt the whiner mate. i got my head down and got on with the event, my message was actually about all the others who constantly whined during the event and yet now happily and loudly proclaim their rewards for nothing......and some still whine because they got the rewards, yet happily selling and/or using them

Actually, the 2nd placed server earned it honestly. Germany09 "Schneefeuer" is almost exactly the same age as Newfoundland and we had a point to prove from the 2012 event. We came 3rd that year, paired with the dreadful Germany04 who tried to bully us constantly. The arrogance and attitude of those older servers was unbelievable and being so far advanced really didn't need the extra "help" from BB.
So we set out to stick it to them this time round, and finished 6 places higher. A lot of the younger servers did better too as did Sandycove here.
Back in 2012 hardly anybody had unlocked crossbows on there, but they gamely supported Newf and the pair finished well up the field beating quite a few "stronger" pairings.
Sad to see Poland01 so far down this time, originally they went toe to toe with the overpowered German pairs until the unfair gifts eventually gave the latter a huge advantage, even then they kept at it with the support of many players from UK, Netherlands, France signing up and rushing through the levels to qualify to do a map or two. :)

Actually, a lot didn't even get time to get bored.
I saw the same comments in chat across multiple worlds, when it became obvious that explorers weren't going to find any maps and no feedback was forthcoming from BB, loads just gave it up as a bad job.
The quirks of the client didn't help matters either with problems switching between maps, the inability to have guides tabbed and easy to get to, and not being able to play multiple worlds simultaneously really slowed things down.
Surprisingly, and I think this was a first, not a sniff of a gem sale during an event with several tasty packages on offer.
This was my favourite event in the near 9 years I've been playing, but was a complete mess this time around. :(
