Summer Event -2014

[DeletedUser1264]

The greyed out avatars (which you already have) are skipped when spinning, you can't win them again.

Er ... I won the black & white Betty Grable on one of my spins, so that wants some looking into.
Do you need me to write a formal report of that?
(Doesn't it throw the odds off to have old avatars in there that some of us can win and others can't?)

One of the rewards is removed from the avatar if you would land on it but the spinning continues in the same turn and you will get another reward.

Yeah, but also the portraits I dont have turn grey. I have inserted a picture in my post showing it - that portrait I dont have.

That's not what happened to me. The pointer stopped on the grey avatar and if I got another prize in place of it I don't know where it went. I don't imagine I now have two Betty avatars - I think my spin was simply wasted.

Checked your available avatars and you already have that one.

You didn't got Betty before, so you got it once and it turned grey because you now own it.

Sorry, but I'm as sure that that's not what happened as you are that it is.
Wouldn't it be simpler if you just didn't rerun old avatars in this event?

 

[DeletedUser4282]

Got those avatars as well! My suggestion to the devs, if you don't want players
to win anything leave it blank!! LOL

When you see it in the wheel, mouse over it - you'll see what its qualities are.
That's how I know that in PME it gives 5% defense.

I've figured out why we win black & white avatars, but the good QA moved my revelation to the Mission thread (thank you dear QA!).

The explanation goes like this: The game knows what prize you're getting as soon as you spin. When you choose "refresh & spin" (which I usually do), if the prize is an avatar, it appears black & white immediately, as it's "already won" in the game's mind. Then it's announced to the player that we've won it, making it seem like we've won a black & white avatar.

My next question is: If we have to have old avatars (which I still think is a bad idea, since it creates too much opportunity for unnecessary confusion and upset) can you at least include Nefertiti? That's one of the only ones I actually wanted, and didn't get it either here or on en last summer.

the summer event is really 'only' ~12 days long ?
or does it go until 27th August, as the questline says ?
anyone know the exact date please ?
in 12 days i wont make it into next age, but to end of the month it would be possible

Summary of the issue : Quest states end of summer Event 27th August but countdown says 12 d 16 h
Overview of the bug: The runtime of the Event is different for Quest and countdown
Steps to reproduce: tool tip of question mark in Quest versus countdown
Reproduction rate : static
Browser and Version: Internet explorer 10
Visual Reference if available:
I have performed a quick search of the forums using a select few keywords relating to my bug to see if it has already been reported: no need because of only 3 former post.
Player name and server (language version) for rewards: undertakerJo en1 zz1

This is the same for almost every event on Beta as the times differ in the beginning and are set in a configuration and will be adjusted later.

Hope that helps!

 

[podkap1970]

nope not really, i will juist wait few more days and see what will change,
the countdown or the date of the quest

 

[DeletedUser4785]

im very disappointed in the casino event this year it took just under an hour todo....I just cant believe there were only 15 quests

 

[DeletedUser4856]

I am not to sure about this event, good idea but not enough meat and too much bone.
If it has been designed as a diamond sink i would think it is successful, the addition of more quests or the ability to earn earn tokens in another manner would be nice. The quests can be finished in two days and even faster if the posts that have already been made are anything to go by.

 

[DeletedUser]

How frustrating and disappointing. 11+ days remaining and I've finished it. Of my last 8 spins, 7 coin packages and 1 supply package. Would have been nice if someone gave me a hug!

I think I saw in the "Did you know" that diamonds were awarded at the end of the questline. I guessing that's suppose to make up for it?

Are you suggesting that a compensation for all flaws is built into the game by rewarding something good for the final quest ? Alle events have a final reward - if the diamonds are a compensation then it would be better to fix the errors and give the final reward as usual.
