Major Concerns Over The Silver #4 Announcement

[Tin Man]

Shanina You were clear. I was just elaborating.

[mahara]

I just don't understand their reasoning behind all this. No announcements whatsoever. Communication on the scale from 1-10 is around -7.
By now they should know already it's better to give bad news than no news at all.

Sigh. I will just wait till the beginning and see if they'll come up with something but i am afraid that's just a wishful thinking. Atleast i'll try where i can get with minimum gems spent

[Shanina]

Maybe I wasn’t clear lol. I totally agree with you both. I don’t understand the developer’s purpose, I don’t think the rewards are enough to bother playing competitively and I won’t spend or buy gems for these rewards. Pity though because I was looking forward to it. Why change something that was good I wonder.

Tin Man: I will never disagree with you haha

Shanina As it stands right now? Looks like the only thing that you can keep after the event is whatever jewelry you pay to craft and two Level 70 Celestial boxes. Dropping 10k or 20k gems to get medals and two Level 70 Celestials? Not really making me want to play.

I totally agree with you in all but a small, tiny bit: I did not make any "threat" to not spend any more money on the game. I just stated a fact.

Honestly, after nearly two years of playing Eternium, I just can't think of a more neglected portion of this forum than the bugs section... almost seems to me as if Dream Primer has a special "Ad Blocker" to block out this section in it's entirety.

[Shanina]

I’m not sure I understand the purpose here. If the awards are not worthy why playing? Yes the medals and the pride but...I can understand that they may want to make it tougher but they need to give something better to take home otherwise why spending and buying tons of gems?

I’ll sit a day or two and see what happens.

[Tin Man]

LOL

No reason to apologize. Sometimes I wait hours after players are talking about things to see the announcement in-game.

[Shanina]

I just saw it, sorry. Well at least I kept your post up :-)

[Tin Man]

Honestly, there is only one solution that I can think of that they can take in the limited amount of time left before they have an ANB event that will tick off many players. Though, the solution itself may not be popular.

Delay the start of Silver #4 until you are able to fix the glaring problems that players are already complaining about. I doubt you can fix the concerns before the currently scheduled start time and fixing the issues during the event would be problematic. In the best interest of the game? Do not start a really screwed up ANB event.

Starting a messed up ANB event is the last thing either Dream Primer or the players need.

Bronze #4 went over well right up until the End Event issue. This event? This event will start out of the gates being hated.

Do not do this to us or yourselves. Give events we want and enjoy and not events that breed disgust for the game and threats, my bad as those are actually commitments, of never giving another dime to the developers.

[Tin Man]

The countdown timer started in-game. The timer is now down to 6:41.

There was also no announcement about the medals dropping.

[Shanina]

But...where did you see the announcement? It’s not in ‘announcements’...

[mahara]

Probably should have posted this under technical issues or bugs since this whole thread seems to be a bit neglected

[Tin Man]

So, the announcement dropped that Silver #4 starts in less than 8 hours. There are two major issues that, I am sure, players will want to be addressed BEFORE the event begins.

1) The event is starting on a Saturday again. Does this mean we will only have 8 days to play the event like with Bronze #4? Please consider ending the event after a full nine days even though that would mean the event ends on a Monday. Yes, Silver #4 has three fewer hours on the Event Timer. That ninth day though is especially important to people that want to not spend gems through the nose to upgrade things. I believe running the event a full nine days would be appreciated.

2) You have switched back from two Celestial Transforms to two Custom Celestial Items which also appear to only be Level 70. Further, gear crafting is still to be Ephemeral and will disappear at the event's end unless you transform the Ephemeral into a Celestial during the event. You can not convert the Ephemerals into a Celestial when you are only given TWO Custom Celestial Boxes which will only convert to two of the three Celestial Essences required for ONE Celestial Transform. Saving an Ephemeral item for after the event is not compatible with only two Custom Celestial Boxes. Either you need to reward at least THREE Custom Celestial Items or we need Celestial Transforms if you are going to leave the gear crafting as Ephemeral.

Please. Please. Please, address these two very important issues BEFORE the event begins.
