CURRENT EVENT Rager Against the Dean! A Campus Takeover Party

Who changes difficulty lv from 0

Hi!
Just jumping in to say the following.
I have spent at least 200 dns on the 7pm est event on 12/20. During this time the hit cap changed twice from the mentioned 5000 to 2,500 roughly 24 minutes into this party.
This announcement did not come in the form of a push notification or any notification so I was under the impression the originally 5,000 hits required for max was still valid. This isn’t okay.
To add, there is not a feature to see how much you’ve hit so far in order for max so unless you are actively counting you’re blowing doctor notes, because the game does not actively stop you from hitting in the form of failing hits once you have hit your cap. This is also not okay.
Due to this delayed communication I am requesting reimbursement for the dns I wasted in order to get to a “cap”.

YA THIS. How did yall think is a good idea to implement and announce change in the middle of the party?
 
As someone who was setting alarms and asking for longer parties, I'm happy to see it was changed. Even though I was able to hit every party so far, they went by way too quickly before for the community as a whole to get their hits in. Since it is a community event, I'd much rather the community be able to benefit rather than some with the attitude of seemingly just wanting themselves to benefit from the super quick parties. I've actually been able to use DN this time unlike before where lag made it really difficult to get a full unload and partial DN used before the party was over.

This one does seem to be a bit too difficult with how slowly the money bar is moving. Also agree that if you reach cap you should no longer be allowed to hit. I'm hesitant to keep using DN because I don't know what my hit count is.

So uhm why did they decide to go ahead and make these changes to accomodate the minority, aka people who also don't spend their dns to actually help in this COMMUNITY event.

I’m assuming it’s because people weren’t even able to hit the party. When the party is 2 bars done in 5 mins and there’s still almost 4 hours left is it really helping to spam dns? Not saying that you can’t use them to your hearts desire for lb and all that but how are others supposed to help and hit? Blaming “minority” for wanting a chance at a community event is confusing me.

I am happy with the pace of the party after the adjustment. I'm not a fan of the cap being reduced, but I'm not aiming for cap thankfully.

I'm glad you are willing to listen to your player base regarding these events. It's very difficult trying to test out a new event like this and find the sweet spot where most everyone can be happy.

I just hate that the chat has become a class war between "DN broke" and "DN rich." I have DNs, and I have ECs, but I'm getting called broke because I don't want to drop all my currency into an event I don't like. 🥴

Are they really helping tho with that one unload? Cause as far as i'm seeing rn. It's us, big dns spenders who are about to have wasted a big amount of dns because these people want to do their unload.

Issue here is that , what's gonna happen when most dns spenders are off or sleeping? The parties will fail. Sucks for the ones that are gonna have waste huge amount of dns on these failed parties because ya'll wanted your unloads in.

If it fails, it fails. Objecting to an adjustment so people can actively participate in an event is wild to me. If you don't wanna "waste" dns, then don't use em.
 
I’m not opposed to extending party duration, but I genuinely believe this change is excessive and that a reasonable middle ground needs to be found.

I’m also unclear on why the decision to cap drops at 2.5k was made in the first place, especially since it was implemented mid party. That is super problematic. It directly affected players who had already wasted significant amounts of dns (I would be pissed if it was me), and it effectively discouraged the rest of us from using dns.

I hope we’re able to finish this party, but if it fails… I hope you guys find a way to compensate us.

Thats my point. Why are they announcing it middle of the party? Hence I ask if that will affect currently or after the current one since they announce it in the middle when the people who could already got those in

I honestly have no idea. Also, who tf calcuates parties and hits in ATA? If we stick to campus/college/school roleplay and voc, it feels like solving your final exams in the last class... but you're a mere first grader. Disgusting.

Compensate us and for real this time. Not 2 Lite Boxes. Not 3 DNS. DO BETTER.
