EVENT The Monstrous Megasnuggon Attacks: A Campus Takeover Party!

I like the idea of this, I really like community events like this.
This one is fairly simply laid out and the rewards seem realisticly achievable.

I am however concerned about:
1. The difference in timezones across players. If an community tier is reached while half the playerbase is sleeping do they not get those rewards despite participating while they're awake??
2. This uses a players regular regen. People checking in around their daily schedules opposed to those with a day off to play the game have to choose between hitting this party or their clubs party. It really doesnt help anyone unless this xc party is on the last bar.
2a. This is especially a struggle for small stat players. Larger stat players dont need a full regen worth of hits for max drops from a club party but smaller stats absoloutly do or more even.

Smells like a grab to make players have to spend their dns and alter their schedules just for rewards. I guess we'll see how it plays out.
 
I was able to get the rewards on my alt even though I missed the first party. This answers concerns regarding DNS use. I personally used the ads to hit the party so it wasn't too much of an issue.

Since everybody gets the same rewards, players don't need to use DNS unnecessarily. I see in the future an opportunity for teamwork wherein bigger players hit the energy bars while smaller players hit the the last bar. Something similar to the mansion mayhem.


Overall a great community activity so far and mainly because ATA is monitoring feedback live.

Again I just want to say I highly appreciate the way the devs are around when new things are happening. This is what the community needs. This is the first time in a loooong time that we actuality feel heard.

Yes! I saw both Simplex and Jean in the event chat at different times, and it was really great to see them interacting with the community. Jean was giving updates about how the devs adjusted things to make the event easier, but even just Simplex hanging out I feel really makes the community feel seen by the devs.
 
I got some tz conversions for the remaining parties for those who check the forum and are not sure what time the remaining parties start in their time zone. (wall me @ign ponoc if you notice errors will try fix on my wall if awake)

For the party @7am est:
4am pst, 5am mst, 6am cst, 12:00pm bst, 1pm cat/cet, 4:30pm ist, 7pm sgt, 9pm aest

For the party @11am est:
8am pst, 9am mst, 10am cst, 4pm bst, 5pm cat/cet, 8:30pm ist, 11pm sgt, 1am aest

Have fun 🫶🏽

I participated in the first two parties only the first goal was reached before I slept, woke up and got all of the tier rewards because the goals were met

I think in terms of hitting for max drops there’s enough players actively hitting for this event so those who are smaller in stats or don’t have dns are able to hit a couple of times for their participation and get the rewards since you only have to have been active for one party to receive them.
The last bar which requires the balls to be used also doesn’t take any regen so they could in theory just hit this bar and not have to worry about energy, though this may not give them max drops I don’t think it’s that much of a big deal with the amount of people taking part in the event

I'm starting to sound like a broken record... ATA is just throwing cash grab after cash grab at us, hoping to milk us dry. I've sworn off spending any money on this game. I've pretty much already quit, as have many others. We're tired of being treated like cash cows. And we're tired of these new events being damn near fucking impossible.

Duh, cause like idiots that's the first players opt in to defend "The spenders"

Okay nice
 
I’m wondering why y’all keep mentioning cash grab? 🧐
Have any of you had to spend a single cent? Yes, probably some people spent dns for the first party, but why do you blame devs for that? Most likely we would have finished without spending dns, devs were following the process and helping, making adjustments quickly, which is actually very nice to see. The items for the last bar were almost free. And the fact that you only need to hit a couple of times to get the rewards, I don't mention at all. Yes, stats can't be traded/gifted, but in this situation I support this decision, sick of seeing mobs of greedy resellers ruining the market.

Thanks for this party, it would be great to have more events like this, maybe on a regular basis.

I just woke up and definitely missed a few parties and also recieved all the rewards minus the avi. Im a little confused on how that happened but I guess as long as you hit one you're considered having participated and are eligible for them all?

Not at all mad about that, if thats the case this definitely seems like something most players can participate in, although my concern would be that this didnt have enough gap to run over a 24h period for people in all timezones to hit.

As for the award of the avi Im still a little confused on how that rolls out. Ive read through the main post twice and dont seem to have clarification.

Theres been a lot of talk of having to hit the very last party ran for it to be awared which is again a conflict of timezones.

If we're simply waiting for the xc event to end for it to be awarded and thus given the full 24h for everyone to have a good chance to hit then this seems rather cute and fun.
 
Jk it looks like the avi has been rewarded after collecting the last tier, its just further down than expected.

I hope those who havent yet had a chance to participate are still able to collect the rewards retroactively.

How exactly is it a cash grab when all you had to do to complete all tiers and get the avi is at least contribute to hitting the party? No ec or dn's needed .... so where is ata grabbing the cash from???? 🤔

Cat Cafe, Pizza Pop, and two other parties which we all know that's dog and potd 🤦🏾‍♂️.... 3/4 of these are premium parties.... odds are you're not competing this unless you're taking part in a premium party... CASH TF GRAB.... DON'T BE STUPID, YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT
 
Update on my last post - provided you managed to hit a later party, the rewards for the tiers already passed will be rewarded retroactively once you’ve participated and collected the drops, so super pleased with that as means it’s accessible for dif time zones. Overall pleasing community event, love to see the team work of those who already completed the tiers contributing/encouraging others to hit the later parties to help complete for those who are just logging on for the first time during this 24hr cycle.
A nice f2p event from what I can see, my one major constructive critique would be for future events like this: if we could get notifications when the community party initiates/starts like with regular parties? So if you’re not sure on time zone conversions you have the notif to go off to know when to jump on as the parties went quickly when a lot of ppl were online :)

There was 4 minutes left in the party when the devs decided to roll out additional balls for us. We would not have completed the party without the major help from those who used dns and the amount of us that hopped on just in time and got the 210 balls. I jumped onto my alt ASAP to help finish the party as we were rounding the last 6 minutes.
