I have to say i totally agree with Fishslice on this one! A 500 meter race is exactly that ..500 meters. a 25 mile marathon is 25 miles. 100% to BB is what? whenever they feel like saying yes you have done it or nope you are short of our invisible deadline so no prizes for you.Originally Posted by fishslice
If i knew what the target was I would probably be a bit more excited/ invested in the event
Perhaps if more people actively participated, Slicey, instead of "taking a stand" on the forums because of the lack of personal motivation and self-gratification, we would be a little further ahead than we are right now.
Although I agree with your points about the race distance being unknown and therefore unfair, the lack of support for the community shown by a level 50 player is only going to encourage others to write-off the event and therefore we will suffer further. But perhaps it's your intention that we don't compete. Hmmm?
I remember you completing Four Winds even though it took a lot of resources for you to do, and the rewards were an utter waste of time for someone of your standing. And yet you're passing up the chance to get a few cool things that will possibly never be available again, and will mark you out as a long-standing player to new players. I'm not sure I understand what kind of motivation you need to be offered to get behind a community event.
I'm not saying that BB haven't monumentally FUBARed an event yet again, but we the community have to make the best of a bad job, or what's the point in getting up and logging on every day?

It's not my fault that I never learned to take responsibility.
I don't know what you are talking about the goal is clear 100%.<-- Bad joke.
I wish BB could put down real numbers. But i guess they wont since they think we could figure out how many are playing this game based on results.
And that might be a SECRET for some reason.
At the end BB says that they have learned from previous events and is still doing same mistakes.
I do not know what do they think of our intelligence level?
Go Newfoundlanders go... Resistance is futile. You'll participate anyways. (insert any kind of smiley here)
and still no clarity on the questions asked in here - is there a chance we will get a response before the 4 days is up?
im still using all my resources i can and trading to get more to make balloons. done all the quests in chain so far an know im doing more than some to try get the server rewards its just a shame it feels that again like with the eow event its the same people doing most the work for the server all we need is more people to make balloons/donate them and hope for the best
and i agree we do need clarity on what it takes to qualify % wise
but more importantly get making and donating them balloons "your server needs you"
its been a day since the event started. Top server has 12 %. Three more days and the top server would have 50 %. Not much hope of any server getting 100 %.

just no sense in this event.

I know many want to promote server unity, but there is no achievable goal. Probably never was for my server. We are at 5%.

I try and help players with information on my server, and try and make it truthful. Telling people to spend time and resources to get balloons for a goal that will not be reached, spending time and effort for a goal that probably cannot be reached, seems like lying to me. So I suggest people be very careful in trying to get to 100%.

Nice game, impossible event.
It looks as if BB have fixed some kind of bug or adjusted their expectations as every server is now doing a lot better. Some are already at 100%.
It's not my fault that I never learned to take responsibility.
yep - the older ones lol
Yup, the inevitable happened, they had set the bar too high even for the original German and Polish servers. They had to revise it or no one would have qualified for phase two.
