CURRENT EVENT Rager Against the Dean! A Campus Takeover Party

[Lady_Kay]

The parties are going WAY to fast for it being 4 hrs in between each one. :/

 

[CapedClown]

This last party was crazy. And we still don’t know how drops work. The people in LB are burning crazy dns.

Hey Folks,

We are looking at making some changes to the party difficulty over the next few instances.

that would be great. I hit one party haven’t been able to hit once since. Lmao kinda sad

 

[Oasis]

This party is going much better (i.e. slower), I think. Thank you, devs!

 

[Brattitude]

Thanks for the patch devs, funny seeing ppl get mad that its taking too long now its only been 24 mins. Cant please everyone.

Hey Folks,

Will this affect drop rate ?

 

[-_-MIKA-_-]

Thanks for actually listening to your players for once

 

[Toksik]

So less drops for a linger party now? Make that make sense lol. How do you make the party harder and reduce the drops from 5k to2.5?

 

[Sab]

Ah yes, please listen to the majority of cry babies that only unload and don't actually contribute like some of us with their dns. Literally. Only a few of us waste tons of dns on these. Making this more difficult was NOT needed. If you can't hit within a 10 minutes timeframe.. get better. I swear.

It's a community event. Y'all are complaining that not everyone is glued to their phone to unload. It's dumb. Let the community participate and not just the top spenders. Goddamn.

 

[JustGoose]

I'm not a fan of the DN to win content in general, but I will say, reducing the hit/ drop cap per party mid event with a leaderboard is objectively a gross decision.

You've made the decision to disadvantage anyone who was unable to "make the most of" the initial cap of 5k.

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 hit cap is 2,500 per party you shouldn’t let us hit past that. A bunch of us didn’t know hit count changed so overhit and were able to meaning we wasted dns (( I know not that many people will be affected by this but it’s very frustrating. Not everyone checks forums at the start of every campus party and didn’t seem like anyone in the campus party chat was aware of it til 30 mins into the party either.

 

[LeeJarrett]

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.

I'm currently DNing like crazy on this party and was previously inable to hit parties because I wasn't able to be on right away when party started, and therefore missed it. So some of us that are benefitting from slower parties are still able to put in effort to complete them, tyvm.

What kind of incentives is it an event only if those award 10 years playing award can access ? An event that would be f2p based on that criteria.

genuinely curious because I am aware, I have different taste & perspectives. I’m always happy to see that it answers to other preferences even if it’s not unanimous

I just mean like a non-tradeable stat or dorm item or set of avis, not so much an exclusive event. A lot of stuff is already unattainable to the majority of the player base whether it's behind LB restrictions or a paywall, which is more upsetting than saying "Hey players who have been here a decade or more, thank you for sticking with us!", so I don't see why thanking players who have been here a long time would be frowned upon. It's the same as the Single City/Kingdoms At War concept; if you play the game and do the time, you're rewarded with exclusive furnis/stats/avis that are non-tradeable, as a thank you for playing ATA's other games. A business showing appreciation for long standing "customers'" loyalty is nothing new, except maybe to ATA. I hope this makes sense haha. But I know a lot of OG players would definitely appreciate this.

Why make the change to bring back the worst part of the necro event??? Parties every 4 hours, when are people supposed to sleep if they last a long time??? Why change after 24 hours when it was working well??? I placed 11 th in the Necromancer Event and almost didn’t play this one because if how insane the expectation to hit all these parties is. It was shaping up to be so much better this time around

Okay and you're one out of how many ? Exactly my point. Come on now. 99% of people that wanted slower parties are not putting dns in.

CHANGE THE EVENT BACK!!!!

 

[Satoru]

I'm not aiming for cap, but why did you JUST announce the changes for cap in the middle of the party? Does it take effect in the current party? Or is it after this one?
