but the list is still broken It still shows that I got no points, when it should show that I got 5...

Just fixed that 8-)

[fatalomega]

An hour well spent thank you HCS.

[Vorest]

Hmm... 4th place... Good score I was expecting 50th place or something.

I like the concept a lot, but in the name of fairness, consider an 'energy fee' instead of real energy usage. A player with a max of 1000 energy will never be able to win - or even getting close - because he doesn´t have energy enough to get more kills than the player with 10000 max energy. Charge an 'energy fee' of 400-500 and give all players free movement and attacking for the duration of the Fest.

I think this point is really important to make this event fair!

i'm a little sad that successful defends don't get a point

HaHA! This bears relation to the future!

how about you spawn at different safe spots around the map-ammo/repair/hospital-when you get killed..it would spread out the fighting around the map

Been thinking about this though our expieriances this time.

2. it's so fast you can barely move off the pyramid and click a random name before you are dead.

Already taken that into account!

You have just been awarded a Bronze Mutant Hunter medal!
You have just been awarded a Bronze Cyborg Hunter medal!
You have just been awarded a Bronze Soldier Hunter medal!
You have just been awarded a Bronze Purist Hunter medal!

I will freely admit, I didn't see that coming!

I lost almost 2 million credits! I thought this was going to be like the Arena in FS where you don't lose money or experience. I realized I was wrong as soon as it started, but at that point I had no way out. I had to just sit there and watch as I lost money. I'm not happy. There should be an "I give up" option where a player can quit if they decide they don't want to be in there anymore. Of course, that person would no longer be in the running for prizes, even if they have the most points.

You don't lose XP. There will not be an "I give up" Option as that would be easy to abuse. This is not FS.

A_W_E_S_O_M_E!!!

great fun, but many caching failures- that was quite annoying. I think it's ok to give only first 5 players tokens but the award is much to difficult to get, maybe just participating will bring points for that?!

Nice work, really nice work

Caching failures were annoying but we are working on that. All in all, I enjoyed this!

21:30 29/Apr/2010 You came 36th in the Slaughterfest.

I'm only lvl 81.

There is no way I was gonna win at my lvl but perhaps if they shrink the lvl ranges.
Then again, it will be hard to find ppl to kill then.

All in all, it was kind of fun. I just wish as well that you would get credit for sucessful defends as well
cause I had a few of those.

As did I but we decided it was for the best, while we are considering future additions!

awesome... but i think doing it this way left a bad taste in many players mouths though

How so? We told them this was over many levelks and was for all players. Everything from here out will be more level specific. Everyone was warned.

[Phyrexia]

not sure you are reading the same forum's i am.... LOL but i think players are just tired of the buggy let the big boys win everything attitude around here

why not start out letting the smaller players win?... that would be a change

Imagine you are one of the big boys after playing this game actively for some month- would you like that idea?

Edit: they promised to make different arenas with different lvl-ranges, so wait what will come

[acidic]

It was fun, but a bit long for my A.D.D.

Would be nice to see variations in length going forward....

MY gut it 15 minutes would be popular, maybe the prizes for shorter ones could be less than those for longer ones to encourage the epic ones...

Thanks!

[BigGrim]

A few item bugs: (From top)
2: Is not craftable
7: Is common
9: Is not craftable

Dealt with.

[centurion]

well, glad it is online.

if it i 1 hour long, I do think it is too long. 15-20min probably is best (or put energy cost of 450 to join, which will allow players to buff a bit as well) as is, it cost 1800 energy (30x60) to last an hour. if it is 15 min, you will spend 450 energy, which would be perfect. or at least once you are out of energy, you get taken out of the arena. (or at least when you are down to 20)



I've suggested lvl with evolve removed to make it more fair. (and make equipment more important)

beyond that, looks good.

Really? How could it not happen? And, wonderfully, it is even possible to do with ONLY low level kills....

Also, ...

Me and the 4th place (I came 5th) did have same score. But for some reason he was placed one place over me. Wouldn`t it be more fair if both got 10 points, and not one 10 and one 5.


Edit: and in the top 100 list, only the top 4 has rewards. I got the reward, but the list doesn`t say so.

Psst: I had 236 kills when there was 17 minutes left, but went out of energy

If the scores are equal, it goes by who initiated the most combats.

WHY? So, we reward the player that has the LOWER win percentage because they were somehow better at the slaughterfest? This needs some thought guys....

Make sure I am not at work next time...here in the USA

all in all was a lot of fun, nice to see so many lost and forgotten players log in to give this a try

is there a way to get better logs, sure the who had the most kills is nice to see, how about most deaths, or the most hunted player by player, ie player abc killed player def 17 times. best in a row, etc etc would be fun to see some more numbers in there.

and yes agree 100% on random respawns, the traffic jam at the health center was a little much.

was a fair amount of lag, seems more players in the map, the more the lag is, would be interested to see if we lagged out FS for a change

cache errors are a pain in the... hope they can be fixed soon, so i can use my IE again..

was kind of dissapointed to see the medals count here, i was 85% to purist, 80 to cyborg and mutant silvers, was a lot of work to get there, now those medals have been cheapened, got 3/4 silvers now...

is a very energy consuming side game, wich unfortunatly will play a very negative role on who attends future ones, i think we would be better off with no energy movement and energy to take a swing

would have been nice to get points for sucessfull defends, but as mentioned, maybe these will come out in future events.

also while i am rambling, if future spawns are for say max level 80 - 100 will it be for only those players who are from level 80 - 100, or equipment level 80 - 100

i kind of liked the no limits all out kill or be killed theme, gives all players a chance to participate, and gives them incentive to level up to be more sucessfull in future games.

all in all fairly impressed, seemed to go pretty well, besides the cache and lag issues.

can't wait for more of these, and some new games thrown in. maybe some areas that can be rented out for a faction verse faction challenge??

[RD1542]

ohh and 1 other thing i forgot, will make sure i have more repair kits in the future, the use repair bot is dangerously close to the move left button, accidently ate all mine up : (
