The first round is now ready on all worlds, feel free to join the Awesomia battles!

I would like to ask for your feedback regarding the clarity of the announcement and the battle schedules.
Please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts in the discussion thread.
We’re offering the best possible rewards, although our options are somewhat limited in this regard.

Any feedback is warmly welcome, and I will forward it if necessary.

Please remember: if you missed the previous battle we announced due to the participant limit being reached, we will make sure to provide you with a rank.
To receive it, please submit a ticket to us, you can find the details here: https://forum.the-west.net/index.php?threads/left-out-of-awesomia.61311/#post-811382

Wishing everyone great battles and lots of fun!
 
The colors in the announcement are painfull and that orange on the tan background is horrible to try and read. It is too close in value to the background. The lettering needs to be darker to make it stand out from the background.
 
Thank you for your feedback. You may be right, I will pay closer attention to the colors in the future. They can indeed cause issues, although I believe this may vary across different devices.

Shouldn't it be 100 Bonds for losing and 50 for winning? Toss a bone to the people who pick the unpopular side just to try to get some kind of interesting fight going!

It is well known that in Colorado Awesomias get 200 sign ups on each side no matter what. Although outside of Colorado the situation is extremely different. The average Awesomia outside of Colorado is 10 attackers vs 20 defenders (in worlds like BDEFGHIJKLMN). Giving more rewards to the winning team is just encouraging this unbalanced situation. Whereas some people would try to fight this unbalance they will now go for the side that already has more people to get greater chances to win. Specially when we consider the following 3 points: the reward in question is 100 bonds, players in those worlds tend to have very little bonds due to the fact that those worlds are way less active, and christmas event with the christmas bags that can be bought with bonds comes in 3 weeks.

Exactly.
 
This is just a test that we haven't done before. Perhaps we will give more bonds to the losing teams in the future or both sides will get the same. Nothing is written in stone.
 
I wish I had read the forum before signing up, cause as often, I joined the side with the shorter list of towns (to try to balance a bit), but here I see I've just sillyly "lost" 50 bonds lol. If I had known, of course I would have joined defense.

"This is just a test that we haven't done before" -> it was done before though and I told at that moment too it was a bad thing cause incentive to join the stronger side (so it was deterent to balance) :

It is just a test we haven't done for a few years. Obviously if we get a lot of negative feedback, we won't do it again. We are here to please.
 
Would it be possible to promote your Awesomia fights and rewards also with ingame announcements? Forum posts are easy to miss for most of the players.
 
Only few things you will achiev with split rewards in Awesomia (only my opinion) :

1. Everyone will sign up for attack for a possibly 50 extra bonds. (Since sundance are OP attack has always more players lately not only Awesomia battles, especially damagers.. So we end up 70 damagers on attack vs 30 on defense. Tell me how defenders would have a chance against that..)
2. Lots of the players will recieve less bonds, cause a lot of players do not care about Awesomia battles, just coming for extra rewards on NPC digs and close the FF window since who cares about Awesomia we will get our rewards anyways..
3. If you give more bonds or better rewards for a loosing team that makes even worse. Everyone will run to death, wearing non FF gear, not filling HP etc. just to make sure they will loose for a possible more reward..
4. We already have so much hate and drama between players, and now you give another reason for players to beef with eachother and blame others for loosing.. (Due the mentioned reasons before.)

We appreciate to try new things, but playing with awesomia rewards its kinda unfair, and I didn't say that cause those 50 extra bonds would save my life... It just feel like unfair towards all the players who playing FFs on regular basis.
 
Maybe choose 5-6 random players from each side and give them higher reward? Otherwise most of the time you get what mentioned above...

Awesomia Battles are a pain to play - with 75% joining the defence.

Here are 2 options :
1. Balance it automatically on each signup - with Attack having Max 2 extra players at any time.
2. Otherwise balance it via HP - less favourable - as some change after signing up.

I don't bother going as I know to always be on the losing attacking side & die - by choice - only in Events.
