after playing it for first time i have to say i am moderately positive.
Have to agree, this event has some merit. Of course part of this reaction is because it is new, and it is difficult to unpick this aspecct from whether the event itself would be fun on its nth iteration. I suspect not.

I disagree with the idea that you need to be active all the way through - in fact far more so than Outers, you can just roll up on the last day and do OK.  Being in from the start just means you are most likely to be stripped of points.

As ever all of the above  depends on your level of ambition and how much you play/day. There is an interesting team play balance between attack and defense, if you have the time.

On the minus side is the stripping of points. It is too easy for the strong to prey on the weak. One tactic to avoid the problem of course is to build for 8 days and hit like mad on the last day. 

One solution would be the rank swap so that the top 10 would fight amongst themelves, etc. I would tend to make this fairly fine grained and it would ensure that players remain active.

I am jailed so I cannot enter, not that have been intending to join a broken event.

when is GGE going to fix the bugs ?? last event you could purchase the SALE package--now we can not open and it is in german--also last event we could cap city states--mine now say I can only control one--I have none--please help and fix--

What I don't get everyone knows the event has so many glitches from the first round . We all know GGE takes months to fix an event . So why does anyone join the event again and then complain that it is broke. They never gave anyone a refund , their compensation package was a joke but players still jump in an event that they know is broken . If everyone would not join the event and make GGE do what is right from the first round maybe they would see that their players mean business. But as long as players join the broken event GGE will do nothing to fix or compensate anyone for the first round. 

[5084983] Marty Maurder (GB1) [GB1] :: Nov. 14, 2019, 6:37 p.m.
The glitches and bugs might as well be features

because the rewards are not that hard to get? and the rewards are good so you can survive the bugs for the rewards and hope gge fixes it

Still teams with no capital...
I have named my castle "train wreck", in honor of this event

[5085008] Nikki. (US1) [US1] :: Nov. 14, 2019, 8:21 p.m.
some will jump in and just sit back and watch for the most part, collect any awards for doing nothing.  meh..ok, no problem with that...just keep your wallet in the pocket in all lands/servers, that is only thing gge will pay attention to, certainly isn't us as players, as their refusal to reimburse our lost monies for the last broken event indicates. 
which btw gge...it is still broken, lol. 

hmmm, interesting timing on that 200% ruby bonus, trying get peeps to buy today?  thx but no thanks  :wink:

[5085015] sarah1 (INT2) [INT2] :: Nov. 14, 2019, 9:14 p.m.

Beyond the Horizon - Round 1  
Event Timeline : Beyond the Horizon - 10 Day event from October 25 to November 3

Friday, October 25 - Beyond the Horizon event started. The event failed to run as intended.  


Crom Cruach post Saturday, October 26 :

This is due to the popularity of the event. When the event started there was such a rush to enter that the map was populated too quickly to provide space for Capitals. We have made two efforts yesterday to force spawn Capitals at a range beyond the standard parameters and for the majority of players this was effective. However for Alliances still affected we have decided to not spawn Capitals at an even broader range as it would leave them at quiet a distance from the Alliance members. We will look into a more elegant solution on Monday, Influence is still being acquired and stored so your progress is not being lost. Our apologies for the inconvenience. 


[ We, the customers in good faith believed GGE for the elegant fix. We spent money and competed from Friday, October 25 to Sunday, October 27. ]


Monday, October 28 ---  We heard NOTHING. Elegant FIX promise failed to arrive. 


Crom Cruach post Tuesday, October 29: 

We are working on a solution for the problems and Alliance Capitals are the number one priority. If the solution was simple we would have already implemented it. However it is not and we are working away to get a fix in place.

[ in good faith, players continue to spend. GGE continue to profit. ]


Crom Cruach post Tuesday, October 29:

Capitals are present for a very large majority of alliances. The main ones affected by this are one man alliances. We are hoping to have a fix but I can't predict as to when. The event is being left to run.


[ in good faith, players continue to spend. GGE continue to profit. ]


Crom Cruach post Tuesday, October 29:

At this point I don't have enough information to really provide an answer. I don't want to say something and have it turned out to be wrong. QA and our developers are working hard to fix the issues and we will do our best for you.

[ in good faith, players continue to spend. GGE continue to profit. ]


Wednesday, Otober 30 : MacDrizzleer and myself from ElitGuards posted to END the event. Refund our money etc..

Crom Cruach post Friday, November 1:

We will allow the event to finish as it is. We were unable to fix some of the problems with the event but when it returns these will be fixed and the event will run as intended.


GGE intentionally kept the event running to profit from a broken event. This act is FRAUDULENT. GGE had the option to terminate the event sooner instead taking advantage of their customers. 

We get email confirmation from every purchase we make from GGE. The true good will GGE should have done was terminate the event. Had their customer support look into the purchases email confirmation and, sent Vouchers to those customers who spent money as way of Refund to be used when the BTH is fixed and good to run again. Plus, the Gift Package to all players who jumped in as token of apologies for the inconvenience. This move may have generated GGE more sales.

I am declining the joke gift package and will not jump in the BTH event scheduled tomorrow, November 14. Am I hopeful that GGE will do the right thing? ………

Glad to post my alliance did not join the BTH Round 2 awaiting for GGE to do the right thing.


[5085033] macdrizzleer (US1) [US1] :: Nov. 15, 2019, 1:41 a.m.
@Crom Cruach SOOOOOO Round 2 is here and STILL glitches! I am 100% glad I took the pledge of going #FREE2PLAY and not participate in the Beyond the Horizon .... i mean Beyond Annoyed! Event..... But tell me this will history repeat itself? Will GGS let their customers ride out this s**t storm or will you do the right thing and TERMINATE the event!!! Give PROPER COMPENSATION!

#FREE2PLAY

i got this from tech support...

Thanks for taking the time to write in to us, I was really sorry to hear of the problem you'd been having. My name is Joey and I'll be helping you out today.

The error message you're receiving is incorrect, there is a limit of 5 City States which can be held by an alliance at any one time. As such everything is working as intended, but the error message you are getting is very misleading!

We're aware of the issue and hope to have it resolved soon!

************
this info is not correct.. my alliance currently holds 7 or 8 city states.. why would tech support lie to me?

[5085035] DarkBob4 (US1) [US1] :: Nov. 15, 2019, 3:01 a.m.
I thought the Beyond the Horizon event would be a good idea.  Everyone would start at the same level so the battles would be fair.  I should have known better.  I went to the event almost as soon as it started and worked at developing my castle. By the time my protection was over there are ruby buyers who already almost to level 50, have relic commanders,  and thousands of ruby attackers. One player near me had three outposts. In the course of two hours our capital was attacked nine times. It's the first day and everyone in our alliance is ready to quit. This is not a fair competition.

[5085038] DeeJayKay (US1) [US1] :: Nov. 15, 2019, 4:37 a.m.
end of day 1 and 7 of the top 8 teams have no capital.... 

[5085040] Fordy (AU1) [AU1] :: Nov. 15, 2019, 5:21 a.m.
Yes its still buggy as hell, hmmm think crom promised it was fixed...lol

Ruby buyers will always win here and if they are spending the amount they are so be it, you dont need to spend to still get something out of it.

The top teams do have capitals, they have just changed leaders and spent rubies to rename the capital so its harder to find.

[5085043] Zenzer (GB1) [GB1] :: Nov. 15, 2019, 5:50 a.m.
end of day 1 and 7 of the top 8 teams have no capital.... 
Who doesn't have a capital?
When i double check this i see that all the teams do have capitals, just that the alliance leader isn't the one holding it.
