You seem to be under the impression that beta is there for players to give feedback and be listened to. Unfortunately unlike every other company that makes online games and does use beta for that, Innogames does not. Beta is there to check if the devs coding will play ( I mean play as in run not actually work the way it is supposed to) nothing more.I have been playing Forge for some 10 months and have enjoyed the various Events particularly the Winter and Easter events - well designed, good fun, and good prizes. Expeditions good too, by the way.
BUT ... I would have to say this soccer event is poorly designed by comparison. In particular the prizes are grossly over priced in terms of the cups you can earn and the cost of the prizes. I play in 3 worlds and it appears not many are shooting for goals, either not participating at all or waiting for the prizes to increase before shooting, which means prizes sit on 100 (for 5%) more many hours at a time. In each world I have earned little more than 1000 cups so far - barely enough for a watchfire and a couple of random blueprints. From what I have heard from Beta participants this same feedback was provided at the time, and apparently ignored.
Quite often, not even that.' . . . . Beta is there to check if the devs coding will play ( I mean play as in run not actually work the way it is supposed to) nothing more.'
Let's call that a feature, as a mitigation of the fact that some of the flying units have the ability that they should not get hit by artillery...You're too kind... I STILL face scenarios where my Rail Gun is not able to hit cloaked or flying units on his first turn... I brought this up LAST year
Yeh it's expensive...dude has spent over $1k on 40 SoK in my guild, what do you expect 99cent 'Sale'Sick of getting sniped for cups especially when I've used diamonds pissed off, rubbish event. Don't usually plunder people, plundering everyone that snipes me now. Would of spent a lot more diamonds if it was the normal summer event buying SOK's. Stupidly priced 4000 diamonds gets you 10,000 cups and they cost 6250 are you serious thats like $30.00 a SOK where i am from what a joke.
In the first world I played I raced ahead on the map and got stuck at Event time. In later worlds I was wiser and anticipated the 'scout a province', 'take a sector without fighting', research a technology' etc quests.not fair, I can no longer move forward with soccer event due to "scout a province" I cannot scout a province at this time and the near future , why can't they say scout a province or do something else??? unfair!!
There is no need to be smart about it BEAST500 99 cent sale pffft... As Test Ament pointed out in previous events they have been much more resonably pricedYeh it's expensive...dude has spent over $1k on 40 SoK in my guild, what do you expect 99cent 'Sale'
its simple... dont click on the event (and thats less time spent than coming here complaining about it)How about offering an "opt-out" option for those of us who dont want to be bothered?
People still didn't figure out that all they need is patience and to use their heads instead of money.In the first world I played I raced ahead on the map and got stuck at Event time. In later worlds I was wiser and anticipated the 'scout a province', 'take a sector without fighting', research a technology' etc quests.
This is a strategic skill of the game, I hope you will be better prepared at the next Event.
Something thats bugging me as well?Do we know if there's a schedule for the rotating prizes or any way to know what's coming next? Or is it all random?
