Feedback: Summer Soccer Event Dev Diary

[Ornias]

you guys do know there is a whole thread dedicated to the ship and that this thread is about the soccer event?

Saw that and assumed the level 70 bit made the whole thing a joke.

I agree. I am burned out just from getting to lev 60 (freaking granite pits). I am done leveling for now just by the sheer number of xp needed to get to 70. 9 mln xp? you realize that is 100 VLT done on premium (roughly 100k per run)? Just to get a level? Pathfinder should start at 60. Most people will not get to see this thing until about year from now. Simply because most of us have lives and don't sit 24/7 doing adventures. Having a Pathfinder quest helping with leveling makes sense to me. Teasing me with it till I get to lev 70 is just dumb.

And once I am the case: who in the hell came up with a "90 min" buff idea from the soccer field? Really? I could understand 4hrs buff but 90 min? It's purely a distraction in my buffing cycle not worth even caring about with the result of the buffs being such marginal. Eye candy to have on your island nothing more.
Somebody please call the devs and get them off the moon back to earth? Thanks.

I swear you guys could use my grandma in your office. She used to whack my on the head every time i came up with something dumb to do when i was a kid. God she would be so busy at BB office...

Sigh. Lost 7 assassins, 8 Rain of Arrows after completing the practice soccer quest/adventure. Yeah, so I should be getting those back..... after the fix????? double sigh

Our Team is working to restore the buffs that were removed before the fix this morning.

As posted on the homepage:
Removed buffs will be restored in 1-2 weeks
Removed Recipes will be restored (the amount is always "1")
Football Event buffs were not removed at all

It will probably take one or two weeks to do so as we won’t roll back the whole backup. Extracting the information from the complete backup is very time consuming.

Thank you for your patience.

BB the dev diary has this in it

Resource and item exchange
•Soccer Balls will be removed from the game and exchanged for 1 Gold Coin each
•Tactical resources are removed from the star menu, all storage and mail attachments without compensation.
•Tactical buffs are removed from the star menu without compensation.
•Event adventures are removed from the star menu and mail attachments without compensation.

does this mean we get them back next soccer event or are we just SOL?

I'm sure going to miss those missing BUFFS. Trying to level up and, now, worried about creating more buffs. I don't even like soccer... LOL Thanks for the feedback. LJ

Nice to see some more explorers. Is it too early to resuggest a) a better sorting (i.e. alphabetical order or type) or b) being able to send multiple explorers on the same quest at the same time without clicking through each one (like generals) or c) lump multiple loots into a single e-mail?

I created a few of each tactical buff after I finished my first adventure so that I don't have to wait for hours after starting the adventure. I'm not sure how much fire I'm playing with.

I haven't bothered doing the math on the weaponsmiths and won't until I know how buffing impacts cultural buffs. However, the population one looks pretty good. Not that I need more population, but 200 sausages and 200 brew is a fair spend relative to the 5k or so bread it would cost me to get the equivalent impact.

Lol you removed buffs and stuff from people stars? You guys by any chance didn't get one of those famous StarWars Old Republic devs onto your stuff did you? You know those famous guys who wiped all servers clean after a patch by "accidentally" rolling untested stuff?

Things just get better and better... Not sure at this point if your coding interns suck so bad or it is their management that blows hard.

[TLC1]

Is it just me or is the ball drops in this event absolutely suck balls!
