#871365 What date is the Double EXP event going to be on this month?

Posted by murabane on 02 June 2014 - 15:36

For the average non-donating player these event are the best thing to happen in the game for them. If they don't take up being a merchant, titan hunting, farming, potion making. They don't and most won't make a ton just off of PVP or Basic Leveling, and then it will take years to reach anywhere near EOC. You really want to tell new players with no intention of donating that they won't reach the end of the game, the best buffs, etc.. Or you want to give them a bit of a brighter outlook and tell them there are 2 double xp events a year where if they participate in globals keep beneficial chests, save their fsp they can make up that ground easy. Everyone knows the more content you have unlocked the better the game is just on a gaming standpoint not a social one.

 

As for the "Double XP" event happening randomly, that really makes no sense at all to have such an event randomly happen when you have so many players in the game with such high max stamina. You really want players who take weeks to stam gain, burn stamina. Then a day or so later the event comes out. They get penalized for playing the game? "Thanks for being active and playing our game, sorry you burnt your stamina maybe you can partake in the next one 6 months from now". Our Double XP event are more delicate compared to several other games that offer it because of the fact other games you don't necessarily have to build something similar to "stamina" in order to partake in the event. If we didnt have to have stamina to participate i would be for random XP events, but since its the lifeline of this game there's no changing that as there should be no changing the spontaneity of these events.

 

And ok maybe EOC may be boring, but that's your evaluation. One person can't speak for everyone, every facet in the game is there at your feet and a ton of stamina not being burnt due to leveling at your disposal. I don't see how you could be bored, other than the boredom you yourself create by not doing anything. But thats your choice to do or not do. Everyone plays the game differently you have a variety or players and playing styles, its diverse. So where one person doesn't do something another will. And saying there shouldn't be XP events so as to almost keep people out of EOC "cause it puts more pressure on the cows", i think thats their call. Why you would want to prevent players from enjoying the game is beyond me. You figure these events raises activity, they help potion makers and merchants as there is a rise in Auction House/Player to Player trading. Every guild looks forward to this to continue and build on there current progress, from top to bottom in any guild find me one player not intrigued by the event who isn't near EOC where it might be close to pointless to participate in their eyes. Guilds and their players prep for this, this is where you make your jump in the top 250 guilds and break into it. The list does really go on..

I disagree Pardoux.  It's not like a Global event, where they happen with regularity, as people get really bummed out and sometimes angry when they miss out.  There's a factor of customer satisfaction and since you're well ensconced at EOC and they do not affect you really, then is it fair to say to others that they should be surprised and if they lose out, oh well?  In my opinion, that's not fair.  Even if it's just a week's notice, it's not enough for many people to get to max stam, but at least it's something.

To not give notice is enough to make people get frustrated and quit the game and I think we all agree player retention is good for us all.  Even if you don't agree, reality is the more players that quit and few viable players start eventually leads to the end of the game as a whole and for whatever our reasons we seem to enjoy it, so let's encourage things that retain players like a little fore-warning.

HCS only has more to gain financially with advance notice, as then people who do live paycheck to paycheck, which it is said the majority do these days, can plan accordingly.  Not saying that's the right way for individuals to go financially, but it's the reality of the majority of today's people according to many respected business and financial journalist reports.

#869302 Guild vs. Guild 24hr Smack Down!!!! "A Storm is Coming...

Posted by lapdragon on 18 May 2014 - 23:04

ok id LOVE TO SAY this was FUN..yes it was short notice but we had to try soon before excitement died down.  The use of deflect is a vital part of GVG....IMHO.  our guild is not 100% gvg so we protected those that could not be on...and global pots are to be used by whom ever has them and chooses to use them.  BUT the postings in the FS box were not offensive at all...there actually was a lack of smack talk...and i for one find it much more entertaining than reading OVER and OVER of checking AH for deals...so i will post in fs box and home page of how much fun this was....and they can iggy me if noone likes it....I want to thank all the guilds that joined in.  It was fun and i want to thank many of those who were up all nite to battle...i dont know if i could have done it if i had to pull an all niter.....but BRICE lived this nite and day..he gets a HUGE HUG for putting this all together...we had hoped there would be counter attacks but like most if we lose one hit to a guild that won all of theirs..no sense in going on...EXCEPT to get it resolved to possible hit back...this is the one problem...and we are all hoping this could end up as a global event....there is nothing for the GVG/PVPers as far as globals go...but THANK YOU ALL!!  xoxoxo




#869255 Development Roadmap (Updated 7th Mar 2014)

Posted by Gutie on 18 May 2014 - 14:25

Would HCS be willing to increase the amount of Medal Achievments listed each news update to say, 24? It's like 1 month behind. I finally had a medal I got in March listed last week, a lot of players have jokingly commented on it when they get congradualtions for a medal aside from the 4 new ones, and had it for almost 2 months at that point, XD.

#865618 Global Chat - Knowledge, suggest improvements and ask questions.

Posted by Pardoux on 28 April 2014 - 02:00

Global Chat has degenerated into what I feared it would ...

 

1. Idiots try to take it over

2. Mods aren't covering the chat 24/7

3. Some mods show, shall we say, preferential treatment to certain players.

 

I don't use the chat - I look in on it now and then - and this is WHY i don't - it's disorganised chaos, unfortunately ...

 

It would be good if the cows were to look at the whole process and perhaps refine it / adjust it a bit..

I think we need to take a vote on kicking out some of these global chat mods.




#865528 My suggestion on reviving the Arena

Posted by Brice on 27 April 2014 - 16:40

I would like to get back on the topic of the Guild Tag Team Arena possibility .... I think that this is one new avenue the Arena could go...if it was set up just the same as the current Arena but all items and gold went to guild you were in...is another way to contribute to your guild....but still needs more input...still hoping the COWS read this Forum too!!! ;)
