my guess is BB will do something like change event
if so..why say that?
MOD_Daz please point me to where this information is that you keep posting? as it is not in the event window in game and the official post (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/t...er-Anniversary) does not tally up with what you are saying either. The official post makes it sound as if we are in phase 1 and mentions nothing about a qualifying round before the phases and the in game event window mentions nothing about the balloons collected will count. Instead of keep replying saying something that sounds totally wrong please back it up with a link to where it says this.

not your fault Daz..you did not make event. : )
The event will be split into two phases that are not connected.
The first phase will last approx. 4 days, the second phase will start after that.
THE FIRST PHASE OF THE EVENTKey facts related to the first phase of the event:
The first phase will last approx. 4 days.
This period can be used not only to learn how to get balloons, but also to win rewards.
Each game world has the same task: reach 100% as soon as possible.
The faster your game world reaches 100%, the more rewards you get.
It will be possible to track the current progress through a button below the avatar interface.
During the first phase of the event, each game world fights alone for its rewards.
Rewards for the first phase: Gems and Hired Troops. The amount of these rewards will depend on the performance of your game world (how fast it reaches 100%).
The first phase is needed to make sure the script responsible for calculating results is working properly and to make sure the competition is well balanced.
This sounds like what we are in at the moment which is named phase 1
Learning how to get balloons surely is what we are doing now?
To make sure the script responsible for calculating results is working again surely that is what is happening now?

Grabs haddock *slap*
I think it's purposefully vague because it's impossible (also for the devs) to predict how many balloons there will be. And so we're given percentages so that the exact requirements can be quietly changed if it looks like too many or too few balloons are being made.
"Okay, make 500 balloonthingies to get a reward! *hey psst, sir, they've already made 5000 of them* err, uh, I meant, make 50000 balloonthingies!"
Same with the "a certain number" qualification requirement for second phase. They'll set the bar once they see what'll be a nice limit to include a nice number of servers (but not those who did nothing).
But yes, it does feel like starting a race of "start running and later we'll let you know when you can stop". So meh. But, I was pretty bored with the game at this point, couldn't be [removed] to do more adventures etc, so new content does seem kinda fresh so I do appreciate it.

I guess, in theory, if you could mobilize entire servers or groups of servers, you could stick it to the man by making a crapton of ballons, but donating only a few of them. Then maybe donating gazillions at once. Or something. :P

Eh? I'm often surprised at what counts as magic words over here. That was unintentional, sorry.

Mod_Daz do you care to reply please after you have said many times that the information is clear and you seem to be getting information from somewhere else? To repeat what I last said

Well just over 24 hours in and a little over 4% of 100% target achieved - shame its only 4 days and not 25. As per the below there may be prizes depending upon game world performance - I wonder what it will be for achieving less than 20% of the target......
Rewards for the first phase of the event
The first phase will take approx. 4 days. During this time frame, each game world can win Gems and Hired Troops. The actual amount of these rewards will depend on game world performance during the first phase of the event.
Still cant see how BB expect anyone to reach 100% during the second phase (per the below) unless we know what 100% means so unfortunately 25% of the way through the duration of the first phase and I still haven't changed my mind - not worth doing!
The summary of 3 main rewards (second phase)
- Rewards for reaching 100%
Settlers 2 headquarters, 100x Gems, 10x Change Skin Buff
