CURRENT EVENT Rager Against the Dean! A Campus Takeover Party

Thanks for stepping in ATA. Now, either find a middle ground for the previous difficulty and this one OR go back and increase the frequency of parties. Because there will be no community rewards for all if this keeps up.

I agree with this. If parties are going to be fast then they should definitely have an increased frequency on when they will start; that way more people can jump in and participate when they can. Parties definitely shouldn’t have been that difficult as well…
 
Is there perhaps a "hit max" implemented already? Maybe im not seeing it but I was hitting last bar and I have 1 item left and it kept saying failed attack. Does this mean I end up hitting max?
 
~1st, I want to say thank you for fixing the party for us. Was very nerve-racking that it didn't happen til last minute though😅 But I understand that it takes time to implement the fix🥹🫶
However, when implementing fixes like this, start small & add as needed. This went from easy to impossible mode without a notice or warning. Also, I feel that the party cap wasn't a necessary move if you planned to make the party harder like that.
~2nd, I enjoy that this is an event that can caters to both f2p & p2w players. I love the avis especially, the hypnocat was an avi i didnt know i needed til now. Also, giving us a free chance to get throwback avis/furni without throwing a pricetag on it is great. I opened my 1st time capsule box and pulled an avi i actually liked.
This type of integration shows us that you truly are starting to listen to the community more and I'm so thankful for that.
Suggestion: Please make a survey for us to vote on possible event changes next time.
A lot of people complained about the "fast party" but many of us made sure to set timers to party on time. If we missed, we said "oh well" and kept going on with our day. With this suggestion, it will make more players aware of potential changes that could take place, no one left out of the loop🖤🫶

i really do enjoy this event and being able to interact with a large amount of the player base i don’t normally see.

something that has really frustrated me is the changes in the current party. many players weren’t aware of the reduction in max hits (from 5k to 2.5k) until 30-40min into the party. i understand the change in difficulty to assist w party speed & to allow more players to hit. however reducing the cap to hit ESPECIALLY when you can’t see how many times you’ve hit is frustrating.

i really hope to see changes in the next campus event to allow players to see their hits and maybe more communication in the chat from ATA. maybe adding a “campus announcement” like we do in clubs or campus chat.

People were getting 5k hits within them flashes? The fuck kinda bot shit they using to do that many hits so fast

I'd love some communication so we know what to expect on the upcoming party. Will difficulty and hit caps be similar to this last party, will they be reverted back, or will there hopefully be a version somewhere in the middle implemented?

I'm not sure if there's enough time for devs to redo it to a "Goldilocks" version before next party (in about 45 minutes), and if this is the case, I think it would be more beneficial for the community to go back to the 'fast' party until a "Goldilocks" version is prepared to be implemented. Hopefully, this would be expected by the following party.

I do appreciate the devs continuing to listen to feedback and helping the community out. We all clearly want this campus takeover to go well. I do think once we find a "Goldilocks" version that these types of community events can do more to bring us all together than to tear us apart, even if that does seem like an incredible feat right now.
 
Please tell me how someone got a 4k drop with a 2.5k cap. I understand there is extra additional drops that can be received as I have made sure I have all of the extra boost drops and they still got more then the cap?

Also agree with all the ones saying they used dns as no one was informed there was a cap after the party started. Me and my rs would also like a reimbursement for the waste of dns that we used.

If you want to make it a campus event for everyone, please avoid having a leaderboard.
 
If everyone would read what the moderators had said, Devs are following the party - they will adjust as needed. And they come through last minute.
I don’t agree that they made these changes in the middle of the party, for sure. But honestly, some people here complain just to complain. Not saying I don’t do it too, but…wow.

And ATA, community events shouldn’t be like this. It should be no stress, no need to set timers, no need to not sleep, no need to build your RL around a game. Just unload and go. Everyone gets the same rewards. No Leaderboards. No fighting. And importantly, all free.

Seeing that many people set timers, calling those out that don’t spend that much/can’t afford to spend, have work/multiple jobs (because god forbid unemployment is at an all time high and god forbid if you want to keep your job, sometimes you need to go in for overtime), people who are not on their phones 24/7…that was annoying me and honestly had to say something. Like sorry…? I need to survive? And also, we don’t know people’s personal and financial circumstances. Happy for you if you have a stable career, you worked hard for it. But some people, who also worked hard, sometimes don’t get that and that’s okay, we surviving (speaking from experience :)
 
Making the Rager parties longer also skews it in favor of people playing with multiple accounts. They now have time for all their alts to hit, making it easier for people to cheat their way onto the leaderboard now and in the future, so thanks for that. I only have one account, not several. So thanks for supporting the bots and multi alts and not your real players 😩

I can't stress this enough. I think, at the end of the day, this is unfortunately at the root of the problem.

This 110%. A community event should be for the community. Meaning everyone should have the same hit damage, a hit cap, same rewards across the board etc. That’s what a community event truly means. It means everyone benefits and receives the same for contributing. All you created was another LB for the community to disrespect each other over. If these are the events you want to have, please don’t advertise it is a community event, because it’s truly not.

The way some of you behave, I wouldn't blame ATA if they never bother with a community event again. It's not like this is the first time they've done these campus wide parties. It's not the first time difficulty has been adjusted. It's not the first time a party nearly fails and ATA steps in so that it doesn't.

What this particular instance is showing with a leaderboard is how entitled people are in a community event with their "me, me, me" attitudes. Just because they're on in the 10 minute time frame when parties are super quick and able to use their DN they don't care about the rest of the community in....again....a community event.

Would the players spamming lots of DN do so to help the community complete the party if there wasn't a leaderboard?

I would also like to thank ATA (since I myself have been very vocal and pessimistic about recent things on the game) for actively monitoring things and making changes on a weekend, that isn't just a normal weekend but a weekend where lots are starting their holiday gatherings.
 
Hey Folks,

We have tweaked the difficulty some more. The party's difficulty should be half as what it was previously. Thank you all for sharing your feedback with each party. Please continue to share your thoughts on the party's pacing/difficulty. We will be monitoring closely throughout today and tomorrow.
