    I think then every server should be given the same presents for winning. Otherwise a lot of players will lose hope of winning next time there is an event.And then there will be no more competition. It's great fun and we are all doing out very best to win, but it has to be fair!

    It is pretty obvious that some servers (german mainly) had an advantage due to the fact that they have a lot more higher level players (older server).

    The lack of precision in numbers and the lack of infomation on the calculation process have been an issue indeed, I think this has caused confusion on your objectives for the adventure, this would also explain the conspiracy theories, the cheat rumours, trust issues...

    We will provide more details next time.

    So yes, the stat calculation is flawed, It's actually far from being perfect. However, NO, cheats do not exist for this contest.
    I will try and provide more details on the calculation process and how cancelling a quest was DETRIMENTAL to the Contest more than anything else.
    Remember, this is BB's first attempt in organising a little competition between servers. Your feedback is crucial and things will be different next time round.

    I actually think this has been a positive event, (beyond the obvious faults) it has brought people together and united them. This has also giving you an idea/hint on how your server might react facing future PVP events.

    I will forward any information I have as soon as I have any.

    Best

    As soon as it became obvious, that other servers had an advantage, then the event should have been scrapped; I have no wish to spend hours of my time striving for something that will never happen.

    Everybody can make mistakes, but that doesn't mean it's OK to let things go this way. BB, admit there where errors, don't try to hide it! It is really too bad this has happened and you guys are making it even worse!

    I feel bad for all those who bought gems to participate in this event and for those who sacrificed their troops to give others a great reward.
    Why 'others?' Because the reward of the adventure was garbage and the troop loss (especially for lower leveled players) was extremely high.

    Not to mention that the rewards in general where bad as well. Only those who where the first to achieve the 100% and those who ended highest (very likely to be the same server) would have something off this event.

    This was an good idea, but not sufficiently worked out and developed.

    if its flawed, reward all servers who have taken part with the same prizes. At least those of us who have "wasted" time doing the adventures many times, and those who have donated lots of resources get something out of it.

    The effort involved has been immense and it would be a shame not to get something for it, if not satisfaction.

    This is just horrible and I feel scammed. What a waste of resources and time when we never actually had a change to get anything.

    There is no official news post about this, only forums post which you are lucky to find if you browse around or get direct link. Many people still don't know about this and waste their time for nothing. In-game chat is filled with conspiracy theories and cheat accusations when its obvious and seen from the charts that stuff don't match up.

    Some servers have their percentages manually set up between days and no official word about the 2 day trade advantage anywhere except German forums. They admitted it was an advantage and seems Polish server got the 100% first reward too due that.

    Horrible, just horrible. Thanks for Dantesama posting some info for us. Now it all depends how will BB event management in Germany react to this as I don't wish to see any more of these events when it's not fair from the beginning.

    I've stopped doing the adventure, as have most of my guild. Seems pointless now looking at the score tables. I've only just got the level to complete this adventure without ridiculous losses. I have done 4 of them. How is my server only 20% of the progression those top servers have? We're nowhere near 100%, likely because there are more inactive players or players who don't do adventures or aren't high enough level to do it without crazy losses. At the very least the number for what makes "100%" is not calculated fairly to be balanced between the servers. The older servers with more high level players clearly have a huge advantage

    Apart of all what everyone it is posting here it seems that "maybe?" BB it is thinking of pvp between servers...No,this can't be true,it is ridiculous of any one in good mind think that the majority of the servers can come to a pvp with the germans and if you BB really do this I will have no doubt at,if I have any...,that you are giving great rewards to the germans and only them.
    There is no chances at all that most of the servers can stand on a pvp against them.
    By the way BB are you giving to the germans the rewards of this event??? If so then it is too bad for you and again you show that we can't trust you.In that case obviously you did this for them!!!
    And yes,no matter what excuses you come with,they did exploit it!!!
    Just look at near 40% in few hours over night,are you trying to say that the whole server was doing adventures all night long??? No one can believe on that!!!

That could go either way: cancel the event and compensate (their was a poor reward/loss ratio in the adventure) or reward everybody.

    We have hardly the means to check what's happening in the background. Can we trust you to take this step?



    PS Our strength as players lies in our numbers. Make BB aware that you care about the outcome of their investigation.
    I fully agree with the above

    lets be rational - it was the first attempt...

    lets see what transpires and what action BB now take....

    Talking about unfair -- just before the event started, we had an influx of new players who just popped up - some were silly enough to admit, they also play on other servers......and were they playing eotw??? nope

    quite simply , they registered to mess with the ratios - (taking advantage of active rule)

    And look at the handicaps we got.
    Guild chats kept breaking down, generals and buildings disappeared without trace, and we had to wait for the scheduled maintenance to fix the trading mayan advs bug, whereas there was a hotfix elsewhere a day and a half before to fix it, and to top it all, the end time got brought forward 20 hours earlier than we had been told it would end, but that was only announced at the last minute.
    I ended up chained to the keyboard trying to rush through the last 3, so I could keep the promise I made.
