Cool, I'll just work with the official HP announcement and roll with it. 

 

Thanks BG and have a good weekend!

opinion: Maybe have 2 delivery dates for the xmas dot offer ... in other words just run the same offer twice =) :)

Instead pushing it back to run during Christmas why don't you push it back to after the first of the new year? Everybody gets their boxes in plenty of time and the event doesn't interfere with the holidays. Problem solved.

Having already seen a good number of players (myself included) change their game play plans to adjust for the officially announced date on the home page, I'd be against changing the date of launch.

I actually liked the fact that it was happening before Xmas while all cow hooves will be on deck to deal with tech issues.

The only actual problem I've seen was the Xmas boxes and can get how that may screw up some planning.



Otherwise, just leave as is. For each player that has complained about the launch date, there is likely one that will complain about a change to an official HP communication which a much larger portion of the player has seen and already reacted to.

My two cents.

EDIT: ps, hope the option to purchase remains as is. Ie, until the current deadline. Just in case it didn't go without saying.

Agree 100%. Do not change the event dates.

Date of delivery for the Christmas offer is what has been changed(in a way), it is only appropriate to revert the change or make adjustments to the offer delivery to fix the issues players are having.

Grim why not just deliver the Xmas offer on the 15th instead that gives a win on all fronts. and then let the offer run as normal till later on the 22nd? people who want fsp to level get them and people who want fsp to garner their annual supply can also do so.

I'm currently logging the real responses to this thread. Info to be posted soon. 

 

No, I don't work for HCS and, yes, I'm not 100% sure why they don't pay me. 

 

I'm only to post #53... but looking at the info provides a really interesting story. 

 

#nospoilers <=== actually there are spoilers, so skip if you want.

Ok... organizational nightmare and despite NOT being a paid employee and not knowing why (FS application may be coming soon), here's my results.

 

Please note that I read every single post up to here and made notes. Please further note that there are currently a grand total of 85 responses. Yes, 85 responses and tons of FS players, like myself that have multiple posts. 

 

Also please note that the average (roughly) amount of players online are 300. From just that, ignoring whatever reference you want to use is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT!!!!!. 

 

HCS, please do not use the FS Forum to judge player opinion. You announced the 2XP to be on Dec 15. This is "only" my opinion here, but don't change it. 85 persons (excluding the fact that many of us have multi-posted is only 3.5%) does NOT in any way, shape or form, represent the FS population. 

 

It's way too late for a poll... Please just "think". If you really need help, I'm here for hire. 

 

So, moving on:

 

The overall analysis of responses from #84 up is that no change is necessary. Continue with no issues. 

 

There is a large (less than half), though minority opinion, that a change to delivery date on Xmas deliveries may be preferable. Please note that a high number of the requests for any change are directly related to this.

 

And yes, I wrote down all the requests.... if you would like the specific data, let's talk about payment. 

 

The point is that there should ABSOLUTELY BE NO CHANGE. The data is kind of surprising to me. I wouldn't really be against an optional bring forward date. I've said that before.

 

But, rough calc, 85 posts in this thread do YOU know how many are talking about a 2XP change date? 

 

You might also be surprised about how many of those posts are against any change whatsoever. 

 

All that considering that 85 posts (and ignoring that many of us, BG included, have posted more than once represents under 4% of the "online" population, not to mention whatever the real population is) definitely does not approve all of this drama.

 

PLEASE... do not change the launch date.

 

I speculated myself that it would be Dec 21 or 22. So? Screw everybody that thinks their speculation will provide profit. They were WRONG. And that's it. 

 

None of this issue is your fault... yet. 

 

If absolutely anyone complaining here, and there are actually very few (please NOTE that), can say "it was promised", then I will attack them personally in thread. 

 

BG, you have, in my opinion, "misstated" (in screen shot GC) that a home page announcement is not a "promise". 

 

I'd ask... then is anything? 

 

HCS is on the line here. A backstep from a publicly declared event, not carried out because of less than 4% of the game population that actually speaks in the FS Forum. Seriously? 

 

I do not sympathize with HCS at all anymore. I've been threatened with the fact that I should ignore game issues or there will be consequences. 

 

So be it. I care about the game and the people. I'd hope that HCS would do the same.

FWIW, (and this from a freeloader who appreciates ALL the donors), I think it would make sense to offer the option of having the payout before the event. If I was in a position to buy, I would be more inclined to donate if I can use it for big events. If I were HCS, it would make most sense to do that as I think it would result in more donations. Just my 0 cents.

Thanks for putting the time in to go the extra mile, that being said, I dont see how pushing the delivery date of the dots up would effect anyone?

The sale could still be in effect until the 22nd, and there could be options for instant delivery or delivery on the 22nd.

This.

 

This would appease both sides of the players. Those who planned to level with their boxes would have them, and those who just buy the FSP on Christmas because it's the best deal all year will be fine with them coming out later as well. Hell - those who use the boxes on the other 2XP event in the summer could save their boxes for then.

 

I feel like it's fairly straight-forward as to what the best option is.

 

 

 

 

I also want to say thanks to HCS, though, in even letting this be up for discussion. After seeing some gaming communities absolutely die because of lack of dev involvement, seeing the moo-moo's active is a breath of fresh air for the game. Well done. I think I speak for all (most?) by saying thanks for the involvement you all do have with your players.

Giving people the option to take the FSP now or of your own free will just wait until the 22nd? LOL

You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day

 

Guess I'll just have to post my agreement this way

 

I myself have both purchased the gift for myself as well as purchased as gifts for others.  While we all want more dots during every event, the date of delivery was clearly stated.  Assuming that it would coincide with the event is just a mistake on the part of those that purchased.

 

I think that if we are going to hold them to other posts throughout the year, there must be some continuity. If it's posted we should honor it. (*We'd expect this during globals, LE events, SE events etc.)

 

I know that I haven't been around since the start of time, and take it or leave it, this is just my humble opinion.
