End of the World for Zues and Ares

[Kwisatz]

The other problem is all the server problems that Zeus has had. I know several high level players that quit after all the issues over the last few months. This event was not well thought through like several other things around here the past few months.

id have to agree with every point graywolf has said......
would like to add though this shows exactly the true nature of americans.... in everything we do if we are not getting some bit of personal gain its not worth it to us, there were plenty of you out there who sold your Eow for gc (when finally was tradeable)... you could have just as easily posted for a fish to allow others to do them and possibly cover for your slacking... my point is we as a country have lost our direction, teamwork and sense of a common direction. we think about the "I" when it should be the "we".... none of us knows even what any of the above even means, we never had a shot from the beginning just because of this...

Admittedly, this event has started to turn me off of this game a little bit. Primarily because we're losing all our resources despite the fact that we are all working together to win, and we're getting crap outta it. The rewards for the quest its self does come close to comparing to the level of the quest--or the losses.

I think it was a great idea (like to see more of this type of thing), but I think BB needed to give more consideration to what they're doing here. And how they have been disreguarding Ares for the most part. Zues got "compensation" prizes for a rollback, zues got contests that we didn't. The other countries all have been getting MASSIVE discounts on gems leading up to and throughout this event--WE DID NOT. We are a new server, with not only Zeus overflow, but also the noobs that join, play for a day and never come back. I've deleted no less than 15 such players from my 18 page friend's list in the past month. All those people, who are never coming back are expected to complete the advent (or to otherwise contribute to it) in order that we should be able to earn the 100% completion--or it's all a waste of time.

When you are in the position that Ares players are in, you are not playing the game that the developers intended you to play when they developed this event...You don't have the resources (individually, or as a server), you don't have veteran players who know what they are doing (you have a bunch of noobs like myself who are stumbling through the event costing MORE server resources to be wasted, you have players who GOUGE other players resources at the trade level (because, after all, you're not going to complete the event so why should they care?). You have a tedious messs, that while involking players to join together, also makes players despise and attack other players because of not only the STRESS levels, but the feeling of defeat that is looming over us all. You try to discuss these issues in chat, and the other players attack and accuse you of "whining". Players, I might add that are NOT participating--YET BENEFIT from our work and losses...
And we don't get diddly squat for it all...so, I suppose this game is turning out to be the mirror image of American life...boring and always a battleground...

You think it's a joke? Well, millions of people play games everyday, literally hundreds of companies are releasing games daily...Millions of people paying BILLIONS of dollars into the gaming industry every DAY...I think that those of us who pay, or plan to pay for a game have a right to expect that game to give us something back...not to be set up for defeat...

Wow - well thought out and straight to the point - and I agree 100% - make that 1000%

Being a lower lvl player it takes 1200R and 200B to do EotW adventure. I did 2 of them trying to get Aries server up there LOL. The Adventure is not worth the losses in troops. In EotW there are 2 spots where it says quest complete collect rewards and there are none WTF. After finishing rewards are a joke you get more from Bounty Hunter than EotW. I dont see any reason to do any more EotW adv. Personally I think Grinch stole Christmas!

i have now done over 10 myself, and we are still only at 57% as of 12/16/2012.. three days to get 40% (while everyone including myself is tired of this adventure)...

it was a good Run guys, the Devs and site managers did not do their jobs correct. Truth hurts.

TC is closing in on having completed 500 EotWs -- we should hit that goal tonight or early in the morning.
(which by the way puts TC at over 500% as a guild, so the German servers can bite *that*)

We honestly don't care if we and some of the other guilds have to drag Zeus to 100% we're not quitters...... and so what if the German servers were the 1st ones to get there? We can't change that, but we can refuse to just roll over and let Zeus die and not hit our own 100% or more!

TC views this as a dry run for PvP. If you or your guilds don't have the active members, materials, and resources to do this intermediate to easy adventure repeatedly, then it is a good assessment tool for where you will be standing when PvP arrives.

Try hosting an in-guild contest for who can complete the most in 2 days, or by Wednesday and give your own guild mates prizes, or find other ways to keep the Mayan Mayhem going!

Yours in striving for 100%

I hope BB blows up the islands of those who dont perticipate ( are able to and dont )

[Jantaliro]

I made two, tomorrow another one...but Im tired of this adventure, its too long Heads up and lets finish it!!!

[Galdrath]

[ELY] is reporting 118 adventures completed. Looks like we may reach 90% by the time limit on Zues but that will be about it.
