No, that can't be good for your health! I'd advise against it

Just goes to show that GGE don't listen to us last beri invasion steve said we cannot alter anything from that event but they would for the next.  Lies as this event is exactly the same as the lasr one no coins not enough tools slots and too many men on the wall. 
They don't give a flying **** for any of us

I really don't understand their way of thinking. Why do they try to constantly see how far they can screw us. Do they not understand better game = more people spending on it?

Hey guys,

Apologies for the misinformation about the duration of the events, that one's on me. Regarding the durations though, we tend to have the events that are easier to get points in run for a shorter duration, and those that are harder to get points in be longer to give you the chance to get the points (from my understanding).

In terms of the coins, we're aware of the issues you have with it. I've forwarded all the feedback on, but it still needs to be analyzed alongside in-game data. It's also unlikely that changes could be made after an event has only run once, we need some proper data on how players take part in the event.

Regards,

Steve.

I do understand that you cant completely change an event that only ran once. What i dont understand is that gge launches a long term event and a big part of this event is the one that people have been complaining about nonstop.
Please tell me what is so difficult in listening to feedback you getting from teh communitity who are paying for your jobs??? If you keep ignoring this feedback, you will all loose your job, coz remember, we are paying your boss, and if he doesnt gedt paid your all sacked.

well we won't if we don't get anything out of it if it costs more to attack then get back we won't play it ruby whales will because they egos need boosting so stop thinking about them and maybe the players with more then 2 working brain cells

The bit in bold goes against all logic... (Facepalm)

[4339427] Graylen (AU1) [None] :: March 11, 2016, 12:55 p.m.
So "apparently" because it is harder to get points in Beri GE towards Spring Festival - this is why it is longer. 

Has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact its the ONLY event which is most likely to cost rubies to compete in. 

Gimme a break....

[4339443] 3sT (NL1) [None] :: March 11, 2016, 1:09 p.m.
I'm not doing it.
Just ignoring it
Why? Read the comments above and you will understand

How's that for feedback to gge?

[4339451] BFC (GB1) [None] :: March 11, 2016, 1:17 p.m.

Thanks Steve for telling us what we know, the what you call 'easy events' we call fun entertaining and a fair exchange of our money and time the 'Hard events' which in our eyes are wallet sucking demoralising time wasting events.

Analysis you say well I can make a prediction on this one and Im willing to stake a huge bet on it.......You will change it or scrap it because players will not take part and those who spend on rubies really wont pay for this drivel.

If you want some analysis I pay more when im having fun.......so now the wife gets to have the fun and I have to suffer fresh air...shame on GGE for putting me through this torture!

6 days of clearing out my belly button now.....should be sparkling by the time Foreign Invaders comes round, thanks GGE for saving me money.



[4339459] CM Arcanine [None] :: March 11, 2016, 1:25 p.m.
And that's completely fine guys. If you don't want to take part in the event, you can refrain from doing so. That's why we have a variety of different events in the first place. We're aware that it's super hard to be successful in every single event without spending rubies, even for big ruby buyers, but that's completely expected. We offer different events so that players can save their resources for one that they want the rewards from, it's not intended for you to be able to get every single reward from every event that comes.

Regards,

Steve.

Hi Steve

Thanks for commenting, You miss the point I love to compete in every event as most do but this really wont be a popular event. Us old hands know what players like to see and we know why GGE have done it but the balance is all wrong plus with problems GGE have been suffering with events and updates this could be a quick win instead of repeating the same mistakes.

If I am going to be sitting here clicking the button to recruit and taking part make it value for money let us have some fun!

GGE does not equal customer service its a bit like dealing with N Power (owned by a customer service focused German parent company) ...come on break the bonds and see us as human beings and Customers who you listen to and make us feel valued :)....... Yeah I know im wasting my time but I did say I was bored!

Seems to be a pattern here, every event causes a forum debate and uproar, yet sams was because it was short? listen to you players mate, we like the fun ones and actually pay money to play the game yet from what you have said are "making it harder" to get prizes, why? yes have master levels that are harder if people want to do it but leave the tried and trusted ones alone and put them on for the same period of time.

Hi steve,

seemings being ignored by you steve on other threads, when do i get my beri first place reward from the original beri that ended on the sunday, as lost my place in the glitched and finished second cos i refused to spend more rubies on a glitch, as being ignored on forum and by email support now. i screen shotted the position and nothing has been said.

also in regards to this new beri addition every 1 is right, sumfin needs to be done and increase in coin not saying to extreme of making it a coingenerating event but the amount it is is far too low. The biggest issue is the tool slots and this is major, because unless you are a rubie player and can constantly use rubies, how can one get everything down on the walls and iff you don't u lose big and that was using imperial knights and marksman.

regards

andy

I call bullshit. 

I have laid out the data previously and given you the reasons for making the changes you have done with coins etc steve.  I can tell you how the changes will effect the game and the coin economy.  It isnt hard to predict flow on effects to small and big changes in any economy. 

Shopping centre puts in paid parking, people go elsewhere to shop have lunch etc if the first 2 hours isnt free for their lunch break grocery shopping. 

GGE reduces coins / duration of events.  People cant participate without spending cash to do so.  People either spend cash to keep up or move on. 

The duration is the deciding factor on people continuing to keep shopping with paid parking at a shopping centre, they have to feel like they have a chance at getting their shopping done, having lunch for free.  The duration of these events your going by the same principle, trying to find out what you can sqeeze out of us to get more cash input before the cash input dries up.  What is the point where your base decides it isnt good value and shops elsewhere ?

Its economics.  I dont blame you, your a buisness.  However I wont take being fed BULLSHIT. 

srsly over providing feedback that goes no where.
