The FS community is getting smaller and smaller.

Incorrect. Our Community numbers are holding steady.

On topic, May look at tweaking this event in the future. The feedback on the potions is fairly contradictory as some people say that the global potions are too powerful but then say these ones need buffing. At the very least, I'm glad players like the new sets.

I think that the contradiction regarding potions is that THESE ones are very under-powered compared to the potions gained from OTHER GE's.

 

THESE are under-powered - but is the solution lowering the others, raising these, or just replacing these with something else ?

 

That's your call :)


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

congrats everyone for Bronze.
it was an easy top 100 for those who participated.


as feedback i could say that when there is such a high target to reach,   25.000.000
the prize should be more attractive..   perhaps the usual GE pots lvl 500 could do the trick.
on a second note,  when there is such a high target,   creatures that usually give 2x or 5x kills each
would be nice to be spawned.


in the end, the reason that this event didnt have the appeal others do,
is the combination of low-leveled GE pots  with the very high target regarding the prize given.




i hope HCS will read this on the ride side,  and not try to brake the other GE events as well by lower the other GE pots.
it would be nice if they just make this one equal by pushing this one upwards,  and not by pulling all the other downwards

Perhaps it is not just under-powered, the buff levels are not that bad. I think the buffs that were chosen for these chests aren't just that interesting or do not match.

 

AL400 - Great buff, but would be nice if there would be another GE chest with some complementing buffs for a hunt.

Sacrifice 350 - In level good, but I am not sure if many players want to use Sacrifice 350. Personally I prefer not to hunt with it.

SSI 350 - Again nice, but I can get SSI very cheap at the buff market, so I do not really need this buff.

Force Shield 300 - Good buff, but I can do without, plus I do not think SSI/Force Shield match, as Force Shield will not save me an imp.

Epic Forge 250 - Nice one, not a lot wrong with that.

Coordinated Def 300 - Also good, but not really needed for levelling.

Fortitude 300 - May be useful in PvP, can't say, but most levellers won't need it, which I believe still are a majority in this game.

I am happy to hear players say they were making sets too :)

I was wondering, Grim. If we could get some numbers maybe?

Thanks for the chest:)

I was curious as to what the final total was for kills completed for the global. It's all good though, not a big deal.

Well, I believe this GE is over based on the fact that I can no longer see it on the world screen.

Constructive criticism to HCS:

Please be a bit more vigilant about announcing IN GAME (though nothing was said here either) about the end of the events. I'm not even talking about dealing with the prize distribution...

I for one was patiently waiting for the announcement myself. I just figured it was close to the end of business hours for you guys, and maybe you wanted to pop out for a brew. LOL

I appreciate everything that's been done. It's been almost 10 years. I Don't expect you to work overtime, to inform me about stuff. :P

Awesome events, all Three!

I believe there are members of the community that did not take part in the event other than to qualify, if they took part at all.

 

Everyone has their favorite things to do.

Wish I had built my stam up faster, I too could have been on the top 100 list for the first time.  That would have been awesome. lol

I don't even need any of the legendary items. I have my one hunting setup that can get me 100 levels. My guild already has all the legendary items from past events.  It's also cheaper to buy them than invent them. Only good thing are the fragments, but even then they only have importance if you're composing or not. Adept learner 400 is only 60 levels from the max level of adept learner 340 in composing. In fact the composing potions that my guild can create is better than 90 percent of these global potions just received. There's like barely any significance to the composing potion and the global event potions here. I don't even use sacrifice. Everyone knows it's a grind to upgrade your character. It's slow paced game. I understand HCS can't work that fast compared to the players. But nobody wants to wait. You spend your stamina and then you wait....wait... and wait even longer depending on your stamina. This global event is not worth the risk and reward if you compare what you can get on a daily basis.

And that is why more players went with the LE and the recipes than did the soldiers and the frags. lol  A little here, a little there.  This is one of those two part events that go hand in hand. :)

 

I, personally,  still use these potions if I have them because they are useful to me while I'm building my composing up. :)  Yes, yes, Chewy and other guild mates have reached level 60 or are near it.  But they are not me.  :)

 

We all do our best with what we have to get us to where we want to go.  That's the art of gaming. lol

 

edit: Well, I can't say for sure that is what happened, but it does seem logical to me.  Ne?

I think that the contradiction regarding potions is that THESE ones are very under-powered compared to the potions gained from OTHER GE's.

 Or perhaps because *some* players think the others are overpowered while *some* players (at least in part, a different "some" think these are underpowered.

 

Where ever else it may also lie, the contradiction does lie in the diversity of opinion evident across the FS community.

For anyone curious, I think the total was about 7,600,000 (halfway between bronze and silver). I find it weird though that the Top 100 get a silver chest even though we only made bronze. Right now with bronze, we got 200% more potions (1+2) than anyone else who qualified, but if we hit Ruby we would have only gotten 20% more potions (10+2). I do say that as one of the people who did get the extra two potions. Getting a silver off the bat, regardless of the community total can only hurt participation, making it scale with the community would be a lot more inviting for players on the top 100 list to spend more, since they do already make up 40-50% of the event total. We see that in a lot of the events where extra Ruby chests are guaranteed, which is why this event was a lot easier to place in the Top 100.

 

Making something like AL 500, SAC 350  into a AM 500 potion would have way more usability to everyone (we can all use AM 500, but not all of us need AL 500). Most of us have tons of Darksun laying around with AL 500 so we probably wont need to use this to level for a long time or ever in most cases. Something like AM 500 can at least be used on globals, farming frags, LE, levelling, ect. AM does mesh well with some of the stuff we have stocked down, like the Darksun chests so we could use them both together instead of one or the other. I doubt anyone will be using the other two potions in the chest as well due to their cheaper substitutes and weird buff combinations (SSI and FS is odd to me, maybe swap SSI with LD). I dont see a reason to lower the other chests to this one's level since wed just end up with a lot more bronze/silvers until we all ran out of our current stockpiles, but a small tweak to either the buff levels or the buffs themselves on this one would make a huge difference!

Yeah, me either and HCS does do it on occasion, but this baby? 

 

The Global Event shall be live until 12:00 (Server Time) on the 14th of September 2016.

 

Well within HCS business hours. No excuse. 

 

 

Post #115

 

For the umpteenth time... don't do it if it isn't worth it to you. 

 

I have to applaud the level achieved because my assumption is that people actually thought about whether it was worth it to them or not.

 

What is definitely clear is that there was no community effort involved. By that, I'm not referring AT ALL to the level achieved. 

 

Zero Guild Chat messages urging the FS Community to participate or offering buffs to help. Zero changes to Buff Market prices with that end in mind. Zero more costly urgings via FSBox or Shout Box. 

 

In a nutshell, I hear a lot of players saying this "failed" because "we didn't reach ruby". 

 

First, I full-on disagree that it failed. Second, if you really want to insist... that's on the FS community and yourself. 

 

For info purposes, I got top 100 and gained my silver medal and am more than happy. Of course, that wasn't really based on FS Community effort. Ho-hum. And yet I cheer (o0

 

Congrats out to the FS Community for getting what they worked for. Prosperous smacking everybody! (o0
