Feedback 2024 Awesomia Battle Initiative - Feedback

[Dr Roth]

Splitting the rewards have nothing to do with us giving a bit extra rewards for one battle, we are generous like that. Splitting the reward for Colorado is based on that many people got left out and we decided to have 2 battles instead of 1 to make sure that everyone could get at least one reward. Also Colorado battles always fill so the reward from just participating is higher than most other servers. Many people get in on both battles and their reward greatly outnumber what players on other servers get.

Awesomia battles do fall a bit outside normal digging schedules but they are normally announced on the calender or on this forum. Since Colorado has battles 2 days in a row it's impossible to dig the second battle long beforehand and situations arise when some battles are too close together. At those times we try to find the best solution possible.

I don't understand the reschedule of battles when there are less than 3h between them and NPC awesomia. I mean : isn't it supposed to be 3h with normal battles but 2h with awesomia ? (cf. case "1-" in the spam policies : "Declaring any battles with 2 hours before or after an Awesomia battle organized by The West Team.").

 

[Dr Roth]

Situations may arise when a battle is dug before the Awesomia, therefore the digger may not be aware that there is an Awesomia dig coming later. This is mainly a concern for Colorado as it has had 2 battles instead of 1 during this last period. When that happens we sometimes have to overstep the rules a little, but doing so in a way to accomodate for the player base in the best way possible.

 

[Harriet Oleson]

Just to know because seems like there won't be events with event currencies before long : when will there be new awesomia battles approximately ? I mean : without giving a schedule, should we expect it to be more in days, weeks or months ? lol

 

[Dr Roth]

for the first one you will just have to wait a few days =)

 

[Harriet Oleson]

Glad to know that, thanks

instead of Rewards for 19-20th will be 1x Most Wanted "by nobody" Bag [item=53608000] cant be Union Pacific`s Supply Kit [item=53600000} ???

 

[Dr Roth]

We have received a lot of good feedback regarding the Most Wanted Bag. It would be unfair to those players to change it.

 

[Dr Roth]

However we will take your suggestion about that item for possible future rewards into account.

Your "fort battle balance strategists team" is U-S-E-L-E-S-S. Tonight the battle in Montana was 9 attackers against TWENTY FIVE defenders. Do you need me to teach you how to apply join restrictions? Cause for real if you need me to teach you I can do it no problem.

Unfortunately every world has voted against join restrictions which means we are not allowed to use such restrictions. Have a great day!

 

[BigNoob]

I apologize to you. I was not aware of a newer vote about join restrictions as no results were posted yet, the last vote there is any record of is this one. And if every world voted against join restrictions then they dont deserve balanced, enjoyable and fun Awesomias because thats just the opposite of intelligent.

 

[Annie-Bell]

just to add on, some players did ask inno to EXPLAIN the pop up survey about join restrictions prior to doing the survey when players logged into each world. Unfortunately, inno only communicated in this forum about what it meant to have join restrictions in awesomia and what goal was. So many players verbally stated what is this and asked how to vote. There was about 3 worlds at time that did have join restrictions where inno local "fort "balance" specialists" did alter sides and restrictions but was about 95% time even worse then had been before, so know those that experienced that were communicating to others vote no inno fort "balance" speacilists in worlds.

Not saying right or wrong, but do know that few of us was asking inno to be more clear of what the vote was for prior to actual vote. Never happened.

No offense to inno fort battle specialists, i also voted no to join restrictions based on memory of what was done in colo year ago, changes every day, was so difficult on that world. Happy to see it come back a bit.

 

[Annie-Bell]

(again no offense to inno ofc,. just my personal experience with anything to do with that topic, and very little support to groups that did keep battle balance goal and daily battles - those good people now exhuasted watching worlds die out or things like issues going to new worlds to end worlds in first few months - then wait until O World to do again). Have no idea if true, but it felt like other groups wanting to end battles were sometimes more able to get inno's ear then rest of us.

Unfortunately that means players have to sign up more responsibly to have better ffs

 

[Ethereal]

I'm all for that, gives us more reason to b itch at each other

 

[Annie-Bell]

for sure is outcome, back to beginning of game didnt support maintaining ff's in worlds, focus on only event worlds that had 25% of the .en community participation. Small bursts of trying to keep ff's going in worlds where feels like those that want to end ff's have more support, or side games of lets go get players banned to diminish competition, or spamming boycott battles ..... all that stuff.

Gets people feeling lack of empathy, seeing new worlds end before they start, seeing worlds where one side dominate forts for 2-4 years straight (ie vegas, el dor), seeing groups with event world rewards bring prizes to worlds that may still have ff's (ie colo) stacking one side lowering quality of ff's in regular ff's .. by time occassional awesomia ff's come round when there is none in world after world after world - the echo of lack of caring from inno is indeed copied onto the player base and fighting among players end result. Two outcomes, half are not happy at inno land, half are not happy at each other and put blame there. For sure that will happen, we have all seen it go this way, esp last few years.

Think the restrictions that were tried out in those few worlds was very poorly executed and so people were quick to vote no to join restrictions.

To make better .. who knows, not sure if even possible anymore. Have people that have decreased the quality and skill of all parts of game openly brag in saloons and places how amazing they are at game at this point, so all can really do is remember how game used to be and try to work towards that.

Plz preserve your posts for future generations in order to help better understand passive aggressiveness and lack of introspection.

 

[Annie-Bell]

Had to look up to see how connected to comment about awesomia battles, and regular battles, and no battles in game that historically relied on fort battles to keep worlds populated as not all are working in the field of social /human behaviours.

What is passive aggressive behavior?

• For instance, passive-aggressive behavior can appear in the form of resistance to another person's requests by procrastinating, expressing sullenness, or acting stubbornly. Someone who is passive-aggressive often lets others take control while someone who is aggressive is more confrontational or directly forceful.

Introspection is the examination of one's own conscious thoughts and feelings. In psychology, the process of introspection relies on the observation of one's mental state, while in a spiritual context it may refer to the examination of one's soul. Introspection is closely related to human self-reflection and self-discovery and is contrasted with external observation.

After some reflection, agree with above comment: Two outcomes, half are not happy at inno land, half are not happy at each other and put blame there. For sure that will happen, we have all seen it go this way, esp last few years.

well said.
