after playing it for first time i have to say i am moderately positive. It is definetely more interesting than outer realms which most people only play active on day 1. Only problem with this event is all the work you did till last day is useless since you get **** by buyers and germans. also the event promotes being lazy till the last day by only counting last moment points for rewards. Removing the armorer etc a few hours before event end was a *** move gge. Probably done on purpose to make your buyers happy. A good change for the event would be enlarged reward pools, a fairer gap between the ranks and rewards. like people alreayd mentioned over and over the gap between top 10 and the rest is enormous. The relic buildings could be given out to more than 100 people I think. top 1-5 lvl 5 of backery and storage. top 6-10 lvl 4 of both lvl 11-20 lvl 3 21-50 lvl 2 50-100 a lvl 1 of both. Means you give it out to max 2000 players on your total playerbase what will attract a lot more people to play the event active instead of knowing they got no change at any good rewards and they quit.
fixing the horn bug and the slow login to the event and especialy the missing capital is really needed as well. when the devs atleast fix ALL the bugs before the event it will be a nice addition to the game and worth playing for. if not the motivation to even join the event will decrease drasticly after 1 or 2 runs.
and really need is 1 day ahead notification that this event will come because the first player becomes the leader and the capital owner. if we dont even know when the event will come we can never prepare for and for most guys it will be f word
hope we can get some news about all the feedback people gave and if there will be any change before the event starts again

Like everything it was clear as mud how the final standings were to be done
"The winning Alliance will be the Alliance with the most Influence at the end of the event. Player Influence not yet transported on the final day of the event will be converted into Alliance Influence as the event ends."
The main issue is the event ending time was unclear, was it the event countdown or was it at last points changeover. Outers finishes but the event continues for a few hours after and some players might have thought that was how this was going to end.
The way it ended also meant nobody can see where they finished, will GGE at least post the end result somewhere?
Which leads to the problem they need to fix if they run it again (hopefully bugfree) why would any alliance bother building up influence until the last day as the big guns just strip it anyway.

Actually for me this raises another issue..in ALL events we rely on the GGE payments to tell us roughly where we finished.. maybe event leader boards could be available up to 7 days post event..Fordy (AU1) said:Like everything it was clear as mud how the final standings were to be done

why are we even strengthening the main id, if in every event we have to start from scratch irrelevant of our main ids.
They should atleast give a replica of our main ids in these kind of events otherwise there is no use of developing the main id

Gameplay answer: This lets the playfield be equal. Everyone has to start from scratch, so everyone has a fair chance.
Cynical answer: This let's GGS Sell More RUBIES!!!! If those big spenders start at level 11, but can BUY their way up to higher levels fast, they will do so.
I think we all know what answer GGS will SAY, and what one they actually mean...….

Moving on is what GGE wants people to do, as moving on means leaving the situation as it is which in this instance means getting the shaft.

"compensation" is here - a load of horrors and a two hour LTPE point doubler booster.
@Crom Cruach the notice on the front of the forum is in Italian by the way!
That's a fairly standard compo package really; GGS, you could have put a bit more thought into the content of the blue box!
Now what would have been a clever thing would be some of the materials for Premium Relic items as were given out as rewards for the Event Horizon. That, combined with fixing of some bugs would have been far more likely to draw people back into the next iteration of the event, and entice those who didn't do it to do it next time realising the build materials were worth having.
It's quite easy to please the players at little or no cost to the Company you know; a lot lot easier than it is to hack everyone off, I might add. And the benefit would be felt in GGS's bank accounts.
And yet.....
(I wonder how long it will be before the real moaning begins about the content of the package)
Still, it will be interesting to see if all the bugs are removed for the next iteration. Except that I think many will stay away next time round. If you can install a fix and list all the bugs that have been fixed for all to see in one of your startup messages or something, that might help. But hopefully several days before the event next time so that people have time to digest

I really wish GGE would do something about the shells and the multis, as every time they give blanket compo in the form of troops away all the dead farms / the trouble making shells all of a sudden come back to life to throw them at whoever they are parked next to. The problem with blanket compo is just the sheer numbers of these accounts, I would imagine on almost every server they out number the number of real accounts.
So whilst i cannot critisise GGE for giveing something back to its players as im sorry we had a problem. I really wish they would find a better way of doing it. Or better still get rid of the shells!!!

Edited out my rant, as Crom stated the Comp for BtH was still pending. SO, that means we will be getting the info on a Friday, just before everyone goes home for the weekend.
BTW - Having an English Version of the announcement would have been VERY Helpful.
I will even do it for you:
We will provide a small compensation package for players due to today's downtime. This is a small compensation package for players due to today's downtime
See how hard that was? Ok, different rant...…...

Beyond belief, GGE show utter contempt for customers yet again. Its bad enough that as an organization you are completely useless and couldn't run a bath, let alone an online game, but to then effectively rob your customers is just wrong. Get your act together gge and do the right thing, return all monies from last event, it was YOUR mistake, we shouldn't have to pay for your ineptitude. What you are doing is borderline corrupt

And to think, at first I thought they gave everyone the 600-1000 prize (They didn't), then I thought they gave everyone that Blue Box yesterday for THIS reason (They didn't). Shame on us, for thinking any different outcome was possible.
Hate to say it, but maybe it IS time for the people to pick up their wallets, devices, phones, and what ever other items are needed to follow through on their monetary options.
Real revolutions mean making sacrifices. While I don't spend, and therefore have no monetary options, I will stand with those who do.....

Sad but expected and only acceptable if all players who spent money on the event are refunded. I take my hat off to you Crom for posting this as I couldn't I would have been too embarrassed.
Moving forward is there going to be any changes to the event from the feedback?? mainly review of rewards and the number of alliances receiving them?
I doubt there will be any changes seeing its being rushed back.
