Hey guys, getting sick of us yet? I'm all hyped up on Easter chocolates today. dramallama
I gathered up a few questions, concerns and just thoughts in general from the both the guild and forums for you guys, so here we go.
-A few of our members brought up some concerns about the event balancing after they tested out the rate that both sides got eggs. They claim that Diedrich's eggs seemed to appear much more often and consistently than EB's eggs. Is it possible that the event was tipped in Diedrich's favor for some reason?
We also noticed that the egg count in general for when we got to 200 eggs was incredibly unstable, with numbers jumping around wildly. Sometimes both sides were being told they were losing at the same time. How come?
-I recently won 4th place in the avi arenas and ended up getting a fair bit of lashback about it. It seems a lot of people are very frustrated with some people using guilds to boost their rates. Would it be possible to make that sort of thing against the rules to make things fair for those that do not have guilds to back them up? Also, would it be possible to raise the entry pricing to encourage more high quality entries?
-I noticed many Gaians discussing an idea for a Summer event so I told them I'd bring it to an AtA on their behalf. Diedrich's eggs look like they're undergoing mitosis and that they may develop into more grabbits, which would then attack the Gaian populace, breeding a new type of grombie. The Easter Bunny's eggs look like either bombs or small components for larger machines, which could be used as weapons of some sort to counter the grunny invasion. I'm sure this could be spun into something interesting.
-We'd really like to know, who's the artist responsible for this sexy piece of a** art? link
-Couple other things some members wanted to say, which I'll just quote directly:
"You know what would be sweet justice? If the Easter Bunny has to save the demigods from the vampires. He would be the most awesome anti-hero. Time for some R-E-S-P-E-C-T. "
"I would love it if his seemingly impromptu return is the beginning of a conflicted EB who still desires the recognition and fame of his fellow holiday figures but realizes, albeit dimly, just how petty he's being."
On the balancing end, both sides share the same rate for getting eggs, no funny business.
smile Meanwhile, eggs do get harder to catch as you accumulate more, so maybe that's why many experienced an inconsistency.
The discussion towards fairness in the arena had been a hot topic for a long time. Even though there are some algorithm to deal with cheating, authors getting more votes because of popularity had always been a downside to a system that is judged by the users as opposed to a panel of judges. We're leaning towards opening up an arena that are special for previous winners to raise the quality of entries, though that's still under planning.
And thanks for sharing the event ideas :3
