20th Anniversary Event Feedback

[Nathan_Luo]

The pairing of servers was completely mishandled as well. Next time, 1st place needs paired with 30th, 2nd place with 29th, 3rd place with 28th. That's the only way to be fair about it - servers that are years older and have all level 50 players with super super upgraded economies and provision houses need handicaps with the slowest, smallest, newest servers. You can't take USA1 which took 4 days to reach 100% and give them USA2 which never even made it to 60% and expect them to compete with a German server that hit 100% overnight.
Fair chance for all is a ridiculous way to describe the current event.

how about we just get the same 3x gem spree as the germans for the 4th of july??? that's a start. I am still trying to figure that one out....

[WhiteKite]

BB does owe American players an answer why German servers are given a better deal than Americans on the 4th of July.... doesn't compute. Or wait, i got it, just ignore us! that'll work too

You guys will get some kind of answer this week.
I don't have it. I'm not in marketing. I don't make these choices.

I wanted to respond so you guys know that support in the US is watching and listening.

I WANT THE DIFFERENCE.

I'm the one that is here in the office! Of course I'll answer first.

BB_Effiluna will more than likely respond to this thread on Monday or Tuesday.

I'm sorry that so many of you are upset. Hopefully this situation can be resolved shortly.

why BB, why?

And then to pair us with Ares.....who came *nowhere near* our phase 1 completion rate. I'm all for USA, but I thought phase 1 was a "qualifier" to place us with a similarly progressive server. Ares wet the bed in phase 1...and you put us with them?!
.

I share your frustration on how the event was structured but you need to phrase things a bit better. This forum is also read by players on both servers you know. Your faulting a newer less populated server for not doing as well as the older established server in phase one at the very same time you need them to help in phase 2.

When players on Ares are just as angry,frustrated,and discouraged as those on Zeus the last thing they need to read is more trash talk about them coming from own countrymen.

BB Ted answered some of those concerns in Global, on Ares.

This is a copy/paste from what he said..

[20:03] [UBI] BB_DXTed2: Ubisoft owns Blue Byte. Each region (USA, UK, Germany, and Russia) have their own policies and marketing. Remember when we had those gems sales with 100% bonus a few months ago? Germany didn't. It varies by region and by month. Don't feel to upset, the shoe has been on the other foot with the other regions.

[20:05] [UBI] BB_DXTed2: There will be. We currently have 20% bonus on our servers. We aren't getting a raw deal.

[20:11] [UBI] BB_DXTed2: The Germans are winning because they are using teamwork. The American servers are doing the same thing the happened during the ETOW event. If they feel they aren't going to win, they just give up and stop participating.

[20:15] [UBI] BB_DXTed2: As for the Gem sale. That's up to each region to have sales. The 300% gem bonus is not going to give any kind of edge for making of the balloons. We are losing that since we aren't working with any kind of cooperation. We are currently talking to those above us about the Gem Bonsus. Again, don't forget we have done sales that other regions did not get.

[RogerRabbit93]

These are all pretty valid arguments especially during a competition like this where the amount of balloons=total rewards. We had no chance from the beginning. We were talking about it in our guild i logged in around midnight our time 6am German time and they were already like at 5% in the first phase. Also, people already spent everything on the first phase and we(Ares) didn't even qualify so imagine now for phase two people are wiped out of resources.
