For what its worth I understand whatever you do at GGE for better or worse, someone decides it is a bad decision and doesnt align with their game play or style of play, however I am perplexed at the 2 day nomads and then 8 days of FI or WOR....
A two day event is bloody hard to get a good crack at it with work and everything else. An 8 day event, well we already have all the rewards as another thread has been posted about this.
Is their any chance of having a look at making 4-5 day events the normal.
Maybe increasing or spacing out the rewards a little bit more based on the length of the event (dont know how you would go about coding this but a shorte event = less glory required and prizes or alliance rewards aere more closesly based and longer events its more spaced out).
I think rewards are enough, always nice to have more however.... It would be nice to have some more in terms of some events are overloaded with a certain type of reward (nomads and skips for example) however this is also what makes this event such fun in my opinion, you can really get into it and keep hitting the nomad camps due to these rewards.
LASTLY...
Would anyone else be interested in changes or modifications to the events, if so what would they be...
For myself I woud like these changes considered or given thought....
* minimum event length.
* Alliance rewards increased or spaced out a bit more.
* Balance in some of the prizes, more skips for the Sammy, some troops thrown into te nomad event...
Something that I have seen in the Sammy event, their has been a casta hero however no casta equip on offer the last 2 times it has run. If the sammy event could have casta equip (along with more skips) that we could win instead of another commander it would really improve this event, differentiate it a bit from the others.
Thanks for your thoughts and input everyone.

(Dont go all GGE suck here and throw out examples of the old days when you were an ankle bitter and this was so much better blah blah, please look at positive changes, what you think could help or improve these evens)
I'm assuming there is a reason for 8 days FL and it will be some xmas event like the nailbiter.
I dont think the Pumpkin Eater event was dependant on the nomads event for it to end. In other words, we could have had a few more days of nomads and pumpkin eater could have wrapped up anyways, finish ties were 15 minutes apart so they were not linked finish times.
Thankyou for the input Lord Roj however the last few nomads have been like this that is the concern. I would like to know what changes, if any you would like implemented Roj. Essentially no ideas are bad ideas however the more w have the more GGE have to choose from, the better the feedback they have when making changes to events.
TY,
JJ.
I think it's good that they mix up event times a bit, Nomads for example, a short event makes it much more competitive for the top players for individual rewards, however some events should be longer to give smaller alliances a chance to get more rewards.
Understandably it's hard for some players to get a fair go at it, I was personally away for over 24 hours of the event, but still managed a top 5 position.
Spreading out the rewards is also tough, as there isn’t a one size fits all for each alliance on the server, JJ, you’re in one of the top alliances on the server, if it's too fast, come live with me ![]()
As for modifications for current events, like your idea of balance in prizes… but if we make nomads and samurai closer, what's the point in having 2 events lol.
I think you should show the leaderboards for these events, i've come top 5 in nomads a few times, it doesn’t make me chase them harder to try and win, mostly because 9/10 times the person in first is going to spend enough to win it. But if I was second and could see I was only 10k points behind, maybe I would consider it.
I’m not a fan of the individual reward system for the samurai, without trying to sound up myself, there wouldn't be many people on our server that have looted more samurai tokens than myself but it gets old quick when you don’t get rewards you want. Once I get the equipment, I’ll probably never do the event again.
The FL event should be made harder, give them more waves of tools and increase the chances of them getting support, or maybe just scrap the event all together and bring back PVPive now got 4 90.90's form these events all with at least 48% CY on them.
Im looting my castas up as best I can however give us a 90.90 casta that is the equivelant to the comms on offer.
Getting ot the point now where you see an incomming and its not even worth it in mass's as you cant put enough defense their to defend them all with a shot of winning. Lets say 30-40 attacks incomming, you need 4-5k at each to defend, its doable but the CY stats are just silly when it comes to this.
I understand you need 10k worth of rubie tools to attack and only 1k worth of rubie tools to defend, financially their is a reason it is set up this way. However Ive got gems in storage to put 68% CY on a comm with the nomads hero 27% flank as well it is pretty hard to stop that from doign serious damage. The equivelant casta gems are only 36%. that is pretty cray cray.....
Not a single casta hero or set that can match up to the stats that are available on comms...
