CURRENT EVENT Rager Against the Dean! A Campus Takeover Party

I think there are three main things that need to be changed regarding the parties.

1) The parties need to become easier. Maybe not as easy as the first couple of parties.

2) Hit cap should be decreased to let's say... 1k? (that's about 20dns on glam bar) to offset the ease of party so that players don't feel the need to continue dn-ing for drops. And for the love of my PIMD gods, communicate this change BEFORE a campus takeover party starts.

3) Lower the limit of volume dials that can be collected by at least 1/4. Half would probably be preferable so that those that are "late" (or aren't on every hour to collect dials) can get their item usage in.
 
lb players not wanting to go over max is fine, what’s not cool is pretending you’re boycotting and getting over players do to it to keep your lb

players having multiple accounts in the t2500 also ruins it and keeps others from having a chance on their main accounts

dns are to be expected to be used in events but the difficulty along with boycotting just ruins the event for everyone

It was nice having the party made harder/longer in the way its not over in 10mins. So people who literally have a life can also hit.

BUT making the cash bar be literally 10 times harder than any of the other bars, is not it.
Some people wasted hundreds of Dns to not even see the bar move for even 5mm.

I set an alarm to wake up and hit. I used DN. However I won't act like a toddler and throw a tantrum over my lost DN. It was my choice to use those DN.

I still stand by the parties do need to be longer, yet as I also mentioned before the stock bar is too difficult now and seems to be much harder than the others. Just as some say they don't have the time to sit and hit the party for several hours, some don't have the time to get on and hit in the 10 minute window parties were taking before. Thinking of others more than yourself is a pretty great quality to have sometimes.

Maybe at this point ATA should just put the parties back to easier and take the leaderboard away 🤷🏼‍♀️ Seems to be that's where all this hostility is stemming from.

I'm willing to wait for ATA to reply and see what happens from there. I'm pretty sure they won't just let a party fail and ignore it.

Should have ended the event when last tier was achieved. It's been two days. The number of parties and the length of the parties have been enough for a casual player to get 150 points. The LB players have spent more than enough to stay on the board.

Continuing the event after getting last tier made ZERO sense. That was not a good call for developers with 15 years on their belt.

ATA You are failing your comminuty.

1. Community events should not have a leaderboard. It doesnt favor the community.

2. You have ALL THE DATA in your hands. Why did I wake up to see a party failed?? You know when your player base is the most active, you know how many people are hitting for max drops vs. 1 unload.
2a) Why did you adjust the cap for max drops in the first place??
2b) Why was party difficulty not adjusted for this?

3. Why do you expect your playerbase to shell out their hard worked IRL money for DNs (with the carrot on a stick of exclusive rewards) to do beta testing for you? Refund these people for their wasted resources IN FULL. Its outrageous that you would release an unfinished event, design it to fail your community, and have it sap the resources THEY PAID YOU MONEY FOR.

Idgaf if you're hitting for community rewards or if you're shelling out DNs to chase the leaderboard. ATA should have set this up to allow for both halfs to contribute to the parties without having them complete in under 15mins or be so difficult they fail.

This is supposed to be a community event, for the community at large, and ITS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. This is not fun.

💯 ✅
 
Yeah I gave up too. No point in wasting any more DNs and try. The difference is, we tried so hard to finish the last party, people wasted all their DNs and now are broke and hopeless for following parties. I think atp, compensate the people accordingly and just finish the event early. Nobody is having fun anymore nevertheless, so what's even the point tbh...
 
This campus party should also be refunded, especially since some players are using DNS on an event that’s currently being boycotted. Also the boycott is only beneficial for the people already on the leaderboard not the ones trying to LB
 
I can't understand all this hate.
It's a community event. If the community failed, it's community fault.
Previous parties where a problem cause they were thought to last 3hrs and people almost soloed them to reach the LB in 15 mins.
So even with a schedule, if I know that the party lasts 3hrs, if I am working, I can think to join few minutes later the party starts.

The problem is only about the LB and the fact that people needed 150 clouts to receive ALL the rewards.

In this way, some people in the LB stopped to hit the parties, when they reached the places they wanted and the other people who missed parties, stopped to hit parties when they had the 150 clouts to receive the rewards.

We can't blame ATA to have tried to do something different in this event.
If you don't try, you can't know, right?
We can blame the people who stopped to hit.
So... Part of the community, not ATA.

And, as I said... Boycotting parties is not a way to spite ATA, but a way to spit the community.
So yes, we all should blame ourselves, even if I know it's easier to point the finger on someone else.

I also struggle to see how something can be called a campus event when there are those that use 500+ DNs and party still fails? There is no logic in an event where this is the amount of ULs needed, especially considering there is a lot of players who are low on DNs or have none at all and thus can’t contribute in that way.

I’d like to add that it’s mad to think the campus party can’t be beat without the LB whales. If that’s the case then there is something wrong with the party.

For those complaining that a lot of players are boycotting the current party to stay on LB: Nobody is stopping y to spend your own cash and DNs on the parties just like the LB players did - heck, you might even bump someone down from their spot on the board?💁🏼‍♂️

Bro people on lb aren’t hitting a party if the last party we failed and used over 100dns. It’s not about “keeping position” it’s about $ wasted
 
This is actually insane. I only found out because my friend told me after I had already put 100 DNS into the party, only to realize later that the cap is 2.5k. This information should have been clearly posted in the app where all the other flyers are and where people actually look, instead of relying on a campus post. It makes no sense how we can have a failed hit if we do not have an item to attack the last bar, yet we can continue to hit after the 2.5k cap with no indication or warning at all. Who is realistically counting to 2,500 just to know they hit the cap. It is frustrating for people who already spent their money and do not mind doing so because they genuinely enjoy the app, just to feel scammed by ATA itself, especially when scamming is already a major issue on the platform. Not promoting information properly is one thing, but failing the people who support your app is another. Great job ATA.

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 :)

I don’t think lb is the problem.
ATA gave out the Ava’s too fast as reward so many people can’t see a reason to hit parties anymore
Just my opinion ☺️

On top of that, the lack of communication around changes to parties is ridiculous. Expecting people to check forms before even opening the app makes no sense, especially when ATA could have easily made a small flyer in the app like they have done in the past. Better communication would have prevented a lot of this frustration.
 
This event has become more chaos than fun… honestly you should just end the event early so no more money is wasted and people can get their rewards.

maybe expanding the rewards for those who have used a crap ton of dns... Give all of t10 1st place reward, t25 2nd place reward, t50 3rd place reward, t100 4-10 reward, t500 11-50 reward and so on.

I’m not one of those people who used a lot of dns because I don’t have them but I know if I did I would’ve used them and been just as upset about the failed party
