20th Anniversary Event Feedback

[TinyJohn]

When a tailender whines and blames a contest, it shows a sore lack of sportsmanship and self-respect. The other servers got their act better than we did. Do we give up or try to do better?

It may seem unfair that others on the server are freeloading on the backs of those who donate their resources on the contest. It is not. The other servers also have their share of freeloaders and whiners. They were able to get more people to participate and contribute and perhaps they have their way of helping each other, which we have yet to discover.

It is obvious that we can do better, because the other servers including those matched up with the Greeks are doing better. One would think that a teamup with Ares is better than with the Greeks. If the Greeks are beating us, then the devs leveled the playing field and wiped out the advantage we had over the Greeks.

It is much more shameful to whine about losing than losing itself. Have some respect for yourself.

what people dont realize is ihave made every extra resourse i have into baloons i dont have the population for 200 wells and if u want alist of who gave what it is for slapping your own back or to pick on others grow up get over it and remember that gem sale screen shot could be photo shop if you havent gone to german server you dont know

my thoughts exactly. constructive critism is fine (and BB deserves plenty) but trolling/flaming isnt going to help.

[Edall]

well i typed out something quite nice and insulting for BB something along the lines of pool of inbred retard bs and what not but for some odd reason it didn't post. not worried about it. but i don't sell resources at inflated prices. nor do i buy them to encourage ashats who do. but anyway this even is pointless and stupid and deserves none of my attention and absolutely none of my resources. when BB can come up with a fair event and leave it a fair field then i will gladly give my resources to make whatever event item/s. but until then i will think of them as nothing more than idiotic inbred fools. yes yes people will insult and chastise me for what i've said but i don't care. those of you that care about this game, good for you. but you should know that the people who run this game "BB" don't give a **** about you. or what you want. all they want is your cash. if you think they want a good player base.. or even a good community of gamers. your sadly mistaken and should find another game. because they don't care. if they did they would atleast try.

and for those of you accusing people who prefer not to participate of "freeloading" shove it and suck it i'll post a screenshot of me destroying everything i get from this worthless event if it will make you happy because i don't care about rewards. it's just nice to have a worthwhile contest. which BB obviously can't do for it's players

[Shiftyone]

Very well said Perwyn. I agree with all of that, however i would still love to see some numbers... Even if they dont give us the numbers, i would love to see the equations or reasoning behind the groups. and not just "cause you are both US" or "they are all german". Did you weigh the numbers from phase 1 against phase 2 like we all thing? Did you take into account that we all blew our reserves in Phase 1 and now we can not compete?

Greetings Settlers,

I want you to know that I have been reading your posts very closely and have been reporting your concerns and your feedback to Blue Byte. I understand many of you have been disappointed with the anniversary event so far and, if you continue to provide your feedback in a constructive manner, I promise to continue championing your concerns. To facilitate the compilation of your remarks, suggestions, and concerns, I have merged any threads expressing such information into this newly created thread. Thank you for your patience while I do everything in my power to communicate your feedback to Blue Byte in hope that we can improve your play experience in both current and future events.

See you in-game,

Well, It would be nice to know the purpose of giving another country 3 times the amount of gems during a competitive event and giving the rest of the servers a 20% increase especially on AMERICAN independence day. I know the Settlers began in Germany but c'mon they get spoiled enough already why do it during a competition. No one has even come out with a statement to address that. Most of the people I know in both servers have stopped making balloons. For what, the deck is stacked against us from the beginning. I remember logging in the day phase 2 "started" and i found out because the donate button was back on. No announcement or anything. So i don't know in what realm,planet,dimension is this a fair and unbiased competition. Effiluna your doing great this message needs to come to them strong and clear. A lot of players are very angry and something needs to be done about it!

1. Instead of the %...give us real numbers so we know what the goals are
2. during the Phse 1...an announcement that we were close or how many we needed would be nice so we stopped making balloons that counted for nothing
3. an announcemt that told us when it was start6ing
4. Better prizes for the advs...such as more balloons
5. If other countries are given better prizes and better deals on gems..only fair all should receive this
6. Fairness across the board...not all servers are equal...that is pretty evident...so stop pitting us against each other....seeing the same ones on top is disapointing
7. More ways to earn balloons...and to know what they are and what you will get...so you can judge what to do
8. The event is too long and really taking a BIG toll on resources
9. More of the quick advs to earn balloons....gives the lower levels more of a chance to help

Thank you for listening to us!!!

I'm likely one of those freeloaders. Do I create balloons and donate? Sure, but it's my lowest priority. Why? It's not at all clear at what the benefits are. Yeah, I know what the prizes are, but it's less than clear what 4th or 5th place will get, much less 10th. I doubt the US server prizes could ever pay for the resources used.

Server pride? Ahem, what? This is a casual game that I enjoy because I can focus on real-life priorities. For my fellow US server-mates, I'm just going to say: Sorry, but I just can't get excited about beating other servers. And before the insults fly, please attempt to explain to me why any of this matters -- I'm still open-minded on the matter.

To Ubisoft and BlueByte, I have to say: could we have a contest other than tediously creating a fictitious resource? A 10 or 20 balloon "prize" should have meaning, not get washed out in a crazy million or more balloon threshold. (Say, what is the 100% level? Anyone know if 100% is the same number of balloons across servers?). But most importantly, how about a contest that can be explained in less than 3 sentences? Why should I dig through a a forum to find important details? And please, put the phase and end date on the rank list!


Does this event bit big time? No, but it isn't very exciting either.

With an event like this for 20 years, I have to wonder if 25 years will even be hit.
