Feedback Awesomia Battle Initiative - Feedback

I believe the request could be feasible.
If you have any ideas, feel free to share them with us, and we will take them into consideration when selecting rewards in the future.
Thank you.

Some of my ideas are:

- Those things that we collect from job spam events that we open, and can drop random things (like the last event of 100 bags, or like the new year one where sets and buffs drop). On each Awesomia initiative, one of those from a past event can be chosen, which would mean everyone would get a random drop. Some people sets, some people buffs.

- There are many old items that are still VERY relevant. One of them is Summer poncho, but it's not the only one. I'm sure more people can reply and add, but a few I can think of are Referee Whistle and Soccer Shirt. Non-set items that give relatively good bonuses.

- You could pick an auctionable, upgradeable and relatively strong (but not the strongest ever so that it doesn't hurt event/nugget sales) FF weapon set, and repeatedly drop a different piece of it every Awesomia initiative. Uninterested players can auction their pieces while interested players can keep coming and collecting them for upgrades.

I'm sure many more ideas can be found. I'm really happy with what we have right now as well, but the Summer Poncho just lit up a light bulb in my head and I had to share it.

Thank you for the suggestions!
Previous rewards have included bonds, event currencies, and various buffs. Within our possibilities, we try to provide useful items, but our budget is predetermined. We will continue to do our best to provide the best possible rewards that are available, but unfortunately, major changes to them are not possible.
There are limited options available when it comes to selecting rewards, however, I’d be happy to forward your suggestion to expand the list if you’d like.

Oh I understand, I didn't know that. Yes I would really appreciate if the suggestion could be forwarded :)

Splitting the INNOBattles over two days and giving 30m between worlds makes for a lot less clutter. Even those of us with a low number of worlds are going to feel cramped on the 22nd.

Why are some of them at the exact same time? I see two scheduled to start at 2200 and two start at 2230. Its bad enough to have them only 15 min when people play multiple worlds, but squeezing them all in the same time frame is a killer.

In the future, there will definitely be more battles where we schedule different worlds on separate days. This time we had to squeeze the battle in, as the event ends at noon on the 23rd. (This way, we could still offer one last gift battle that provides 1500 fireworks.)

By scheduling all the battles on a single day, the time slots became more crowded. (The approaching end of the event also pushed us to call the battles sooner, so we added one more on the 22nd to give everyone a final chance at the 1500-firework reward.) Some players prefer battles as late as possible, others as early as possible. With the 22:00 and 22:30 times, I tried to find a middle ground when most players can actively participate. In previous occasions, the battles were spread over two days, and we’ll try to take your requests into account in the future as well.

A lot of fort battles actually reach 400+ sign ups in Colorado. It would be nice if something could be done about this. I know its not something that happens in other worlds but it happens in Colorado so maybe something could be put up for Colorado only (as opposed to something for every world as it wouldnt make sense)?

Previously, we made a concession regarding this for those who would be left out, you can view it here: https://forum.the-west.net/index.php?threads/left-out-of-awesomia.61311/
Of course, I’ll forward your request regardless.

currently less than 2 1/2 hours before the first of the battles for the 13th was supposed to happen, and no battles dug.
Will the battles for the 13th and 14th actually take place on some other date, or just be cancelled?

Point number 1, the first round of battles announced/scheduled for today aren't dug yet while they are supposed to be happening in less than 3 hours. You need to rework everything now and I expect compensation because I canceled a date with a tall blonde blue eyes tonight for the Awesomia.

Point number 2, the inner voice is still telling me that the budget could accommodate for more rewards.

Point number 3, we all know that in Colorado there will be 500+ sign ups which in my opinion is a good reason to do 2 battles per round

Due to a misunderstanding, the Fort battles originally scheduled for Arizona at 7:30 p.m. and Brisco at 8:00 p.m. today have been postponed and will instead take place tomorrow. We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Please note that all other matches will go ahead as planned, even though we are aware that the timeframe for some of them is quite limited. We thank you for your flexibility and cooperation as we work to ensure that the schedule runs as smoothly as possible.

So.....you postponed the battle in w13. What are you replacing it with? That was dug yesterday.
