At the beginning I admit, I didn't read all of this thread, but from the pieces I did have read it seems that it's a lot of fun, but for players with combat leves under 10 or over 19. I don't know the statistics, but it stands to reason, that there's less competition there, as probably there's much less characters within these ranges.
However, at middle levels there's just way, way to many people participating, so pretty much most of the hunts are pushed beyond playable.
For me this event was basically over on day 2. I did manage to win some battles on day 3 and 4, but right now all I do is pass by available hunts, because they are way too hard. And for me knowing that an attempt to beat a record is futile discourages me from trying. Right now I've played 29 battles, and I can't find anything that seems to be doable.
I'm not saying the event is a bad idea though. It is a good one, it just seems to be executed without careful consideration.
The way I see it, the hunt choice pool is insufficient, so only those who were first got to gain the rewards (fsp, armaments, scores, items, etc.). Anyone who can't play right at the beginning of each of the two first days, is in significant disadvantage. The other thing draining fun away for me was that all the most fun hunts with regularny unavailable creatures from one-time events were already played to a point, where there's almost no chance of winning.
I don't mean to complain about difficulty of the current hunts, because I like challenges, but I think everyone deserve the same chances for easy and hard hunts. Right now, it's quite opposite of that. Those who hunted first gained the most. Those who couldn't play right away were left with very little or facing defeats only. | Yeap, the pool of possible fights should be larger.
And next opponents to win should not differ so much in numbers. Quite often existing records are not that difficult, while next step seem unconquerable (unless you are a Russian chess-master, of course).
I wish I had started playing the day one... | @101, I do agree with your comment.
Yes this is not a easy event indeed, but it should have a specific level design based on amount of players on currently CL. I do not think change add extra hunts for popular factions would be a good idea, since this event aims to people experience different factions. Overall to make a specific level design, would increas the currently work to about 171 times extra work put into the event, and if alternatives factions were included then goes up to 278 more work than original project. To not mention the time spent on searching to use as reference for planning.
So, it's necessary, but it's not exactly something practical nor easy to do.
Also I do not think there's such huge gap between players, actually the higher level, the odds are to have less players to compete with.
I mean, look how easy and fast is to reach level 5, also if you open any CG battle, most of GBs come from low levels, of course we've a middle mass which is overpopulated due, limited time to keep playing and reach next level and overall amount of time spent on the game to reach this level, which makes the middle level feelts fully, but exactly same rule applies to low levels, because it's too easy to reach there. | As for day 1, I've lost about 90% of my hunts from day 1, and about 70% from day 2.
The ones I'm keeping are from day 3 and 4.
If the player spent 5 tries or so, on same hunt he'll end with a very limited amount of active records.
If this player try to garther as many as possible, he'll end losing them all. First days, are simply too easy, and would be a matter of seconds until lose the hunt, even if was made on hardest difficult. | | I'm curious how russian players feel abot this event and what they have to say on their forum. | I may be saying something very wrong here, but since I don't know speak russian and use translator, I'll try to sume verything up.
Their averange score is 12 - 13 activated record.
For 'high level players' on cl 10 - 19.
I saw one complaining about Noldor not have any competidor.
And a few are complaining about how hard this event is.
Basically the same here, just into a different language.
They're focusing into different thread at the moment, I'm not sure what it's about, since traslater sucks.
Oh yes, and some of them are loving this event, like myself included and some from here as well. Basically the fact there's no one to mess up your game, and the fact you've to rely on yourself by 100% is just perfect in my opinion.
Mixed opinions overall, as it seems, just like here. | @104
Oh, you've got the point, thanks. Though only I wish I could play more, it is weekend but now after a little more than my 20 fights it seems pointless.
The idea of these fights is however to my liking, and I'm sure they'll keep on perfecting the event. | | Today was the toughest day I have faced. Now I think the records are getting difficult to break. Managed to go from 14 to 17 - Not sure whether I will hold all of those still, or whether I will manage to beat anymore with tomorrow's last attempts. | I think don't hurt to take a look on charmed elf, holy knight, barbarian, tribal, dark demon and dark elven, if you have their buildings.
Basically you choose one of those factions and keep looking and skiping for 1 hour to 2 hours, if nothing comes up, select another faction and start the searching again.
I would be doing this, if I had more than 1 castle built, which sadly I have not. | yeah, I stopped spending 2500-3000 gold per combat, considering it gives what? +1 attack, def or init armaments? hunter arts? (so cheaply availble in market otherwise) etc.
not really worth after a while, for the benefit it gives. no certainty that your records will stay the next day or thereafter. The hunts get insanely tough after some time,anyway.
I am not bashing at all, This event IS fun, but for all those richie rich, holding 2M gold on hand :D | The hunts get insanely tough after some time,anyway.
Not really. I missed the action for 2 days (3rd and 4th day) and had 4 records left on the 2nd day. But when I came back today, I had 3 records which now are 7.

I am having a lot of fun in this event but I don't have even 100k gold and 2M is a jackpot for me:P | The deal with this event is, you'll get some HG points without increasing your hunt difficult level, which is awesome.
Also the fps ratio is really good, and armaments is a kind of a plus.
Well... If you lost a battle from this event, isn't a good idea to keep repeating the exactly same battle, and losing again and again, just try another one. | | 6 back to back losses.. I see no chance for me now :/ | All events will have some balance issues. Deal with it.
Tribals and Barbarians are weak in free for all battles as in free for all, often you want to delay, and delay burns spirit.
The demon event where you had 3 battles in a row, anyone with raise dead was at an advantage.
This event you can try to get HG points by doing early hunts, or go for records. | | and now again 3:( | event over for me, 11 active records, hope they hold up :)
overall, interesting event. in some aspects, it didn't make much sense (you're not allowed to wear hunter arts to hunt?), but i really enjoyed it. thanks, admins!
curious about the rewards ^^ | Lower your level better will be the records...
I am holding 16 atm with 50 combats... Dwarf statistics was 6% before event but it increased to 8.8%! | What is the reward btw?
i got 20 records atm out of 24 combats, just hope to complete the event :s | *out of 28 combats (won 24)
Sry for double post | Yeah, waiting the rewards, really hope it pays off.
The description says, we'll be rewarded with extra HG based on amount of active records, hope it's a fat amount.
And perhaps some new artefact as well. |
