New pvp stuff released lately meant BB had no time to prepare an event this year and to be fair its a non football summer to boot.
I agree with some stuff written here about no event for 6 months is too long a time to wait, seems they abandoned the crisis quests mainly because of all the criticism they received about it being too hard and luck based.

Yes, more's the pity. There are of course female characters in the game, but.. Probably best not to derail this thread!
I see that maybe there is a hint in there about a post I made:
so pehaps I need to decipher it a little. If not, kudos to you."Bought everything on first day - boring event."
The slogan between "" was used by some people as main reason to justify the new event resource system. Part of a very limited amount of people would feel that way and to prevent this the only option was to redesign the entire system.
The one event I could do this I never thought of saying something like that. There has always been something to do during events even if you have bought everything. Now this event comes because of this redesign and I could buy everything on the first day. This time though there really is nothing else to do. I found that funny - thats why there is a smilie at the end.
Oh and the reason why I have been reduced to silly one-liners: it seems those are acceptable in this forum and more to the point stuff isnt.
Seriously? have you actually read this thread? it's an all time classic. Unintentionally hilarious pedantry about when summer is. Brilliant. More please.
HOTFIX!
the thing i am upset about is that this non event - special etc etc - whatever spin BB wants to give to it- actually replaced the summer events that always took place around this time- be it football or something else
So basically a 3 week exchange and shopping spree for the select few replaces an event that would bring something new and challenging for all
no matter how it is wrapped, it makes TSO less for many a player as the gap between the special events will be better
a new ranking system for PVP is no replacement for event activity really
an exchange special is all good and well- but having the shop open for a week or 2 is even for the people wanting to exchange stuff a bit of overkill- most will have finished buying what they wanted in the first 2 or 3 days after which it is a dead dodo for them as well. only reason for 3 weeks is to avoid whines about not being able to use shop due to holidays - which is fine
but don't try to sell it as something special for all players- it isn;t - it just hides the nerf bat on event investments (probably no off the shelf event where some minor reward tweaks will have it up and running so too much of an investment from BB to make)
Have this so called event on my mind alot. And the biggest question is " Why didnt BB fixed so new players could buy items for less price of tokens?" What I mean is we can´t get any tokens on our own if we don´t buy with gems or pay overprice on TO. So us who dont have several thousands of old event items to exchange we are out from this event.
What you could do was give a chance to earn some tokens (new players) and second is if you locked the chance to buy items you already bought when a event was you could not buy it again like MMA if you bought one from last easter event you are not able to buy 1 more from it. Then maybe more players would love to help new players to get items too. Iknow some are helping but this isnt a event for all. And why didnt you make event for us all?
For example new players could have get chance to choose 1 event to do during this 3 weeks and get items from that event. Then all had something to do and could get some items and not spend thousands of gold coins /real money.
Sorry for sounding like a whiner. But really think this is a bit of killing the fun of the game.
event is fun
shopping game is boring
cater to boring= lose players= end of game :P
1. The only summer event we have ever have is the football related events. Yes, we have had crisis quests/anniversary events but none that gave event resources to buy things from a shop for 'free'. We will continue to have full events in summer when a football event occurs i.e. World Cup/ Euro Cup. This is every two years and the next one is Euro 2016.
2. Older players have earned the resources they have by many days/months/years of dedicated gaming and/or buying gems. Why do new players think they should be given for free/cheap things that others have either worked hard for or paid for? Would you expect to play a game for a year and then find someone starting in week one gets everything that you worked for, for free?
3. This was never advertised to be anything other than an opportunity to use up old event resources which they made redundant with no notice.
4. If you want something in the game that you cannot afford with game resources then put your hand in your pocket like many others have. BB operates the game as a business, if nobody contributed to BB's funds the game would fold rapidly.
