Blitzex/Sr. Zeph -> Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 14:35:12)

Just got new DNs and i want to share the news to all other Ticket owners.

Good news:
quote:

1.The Golden Yeti Tournament will not start until a few days after Omega launches. This is to ensure that the battle engine is stable and bug free when we launch and also allow participants to try out all the new features. This delay will give everyone time to complete missions and optimize builts to find the ideal skill core / build combination to emerge victorious!


Yes, we can all enjoy the new features before going hardcore for the Yeti.
Also we can now help Wiki too get Rabble's sidearm and the Lore Master cheevo.

Bad news:
quote:

2.In the time between the launch of Omega and the start of the competition, we will be offering a limited number of Omega Tickets. We are doing this to accomodate those who either cannot afford / don't want a preorder but want to participate or were not informed about the event in advance for whatever reason. Also, Omega will be advertised heavily and many will be coming to EpicDuel for the first time ever , and many others will be returning after a long hiatus and it would be good to offer one last chance to get in.

Well, more competition for us guys.

First they say:
quote:

Some have mentioned that it's not fair to the non-Varium players to restrict this tournament, but the tournament is a special reward for the preorder offer and making it available to everyone would defeat the purpose.

And now this?

Why did they suddenly changed mind? and even worse:
Why did they took our special reward? :\
Now it is for everyone, and defeats it purpose...

What do you ticket owners think?
Im a bit pissed off, they first promise us something and then just take it away.
And i dont have a chance now, since more people will participate.



Mother1 -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 14:49:18)

Ok that really bites. While I don't mind more competition unless the tickets cost varium only it wouldn't be a reward for those who are paying to support the game. Plus like you would contridict the design notes posted yesterday if it turns out to be a credit based ticket.



ND Mallet -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 14:51:35)

1. They never said they were selling the tickets for credits only.
2. They're only selling them in-game because they listened to many of us asking for a chance to participate without having to buy the Promo.



Blitzex/Sr. Zeph -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 14:56:38)

@ ND

1. Did i say anything about buying it with credits? No i did not.
2. They first said it would be a special reward who pre-ordered, and now they changed that.
What if someone specially bought the ticket before these DNs so they can have a chance, and now they hear this?
I would be pissed off.

Also we can now help Wiki

Now? We all were or are able to help the wiki at the time we want, just create an acc and help.
----------------------

The ticket will only cost varium and it's just a small quantity.

Now it is for everyone, and defeats it purpose..

Who said players will be able to buy them for credits? The ticket will cost varium only, so it can't be for everyone and it's also limited quantity



Blitzex/Sr. Zeph -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 15:02:26)

@ Rayman, why do you only quote that part of the sentence? :s
I specifically said something behind it:
quote:

Rayman -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 15:06:50)

Zeph:
I edited my other post and:
You saying that we can help the wiki now to get the lore master cheevo
And you could get that cheevo before all of this.



Blitzex/Sr. Zeph -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 15:13:51)

@ Rayman
But now its raised with 1000 rating points, so in my opinion its more a new cheevo.

And they also did not said it would be only buyable with var, so how can you say it will cost varium only?



Rayman -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 15:20:43)

Zeph:
It have been 1k Rating Points since they released it.

quote:

making it available to everyone would defeat the purpose.

The staff said that it would defeat the purpose if they make it available to everyone and it won't be available to everyone because it will cost varium, so if you wanna participate you need to buy varium to get the ticket.

If it was buyable with creds, then it would be available to everyone, and it's not.



Yo son -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 15:24:04)

unless it cost 10000 varium... then it kind of wouldn't be fair, part of the main reason why people preorder was not only for the 2 for 1 deal, but for also the golden yeti ticket. As a matter of fact, this is the only reason why I preordered, because I only wanted the physical Omega promo. But seriously, I don't get the point of them doing this, since this will not be the last tourney the make, is kind of a slap to a majority of those who pre ordered.



Drianx -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 15:29:59)

I wouldn't mind if they cancelled the tournament and set up a lottery instead. AQW has lottery-type contests and so far I think it was the best compromise for keeping them as fair as possible.

Wait, did I say i wouldn't mind? I'd be very happy actually.



Blitzex/Sr. Zeph -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 15:32:35)

@ Rayman

Where does it say it will cost varium, tell me?
It is not mentioned anywhere so you are only speculating about it.
Pls stop with that, unless you have very accurate information about it said by a staff member.

And no, it will now be 2000 rating points, they are adding 1000.
quote:

To encourage more participation on the Wiki, we will be increasing the value of the coveted Lore Master Achievement by 1000 Rating Points, as well as offering the extremely rare Rabble's Attack Tome sidearm for contributors deemed worthy by the current staff.

Read more carefully next time since you have wrong info here or info that doesnt exist.

Im saying that it's 1k ratings, Ik that they will be raising it by 1k to encourage the othe players to help more the wiki, So don't really need to pay attention to this cheevo stuff anyway.

quote:

It will cost varium, the staff said that it won't be available for everyone, if it cost credit's, then it will be available to everyone.
They haven't said anything, but let's just wait and see, No need to keep this.



Mother1 -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 15:40:51)

@ rayman

they also said the tickets were limited which could mean furst come first serve be it credits or varium just like limited rare items.



Rayman -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 15:47:42)

Mother: This is why Im sure the ticket will be varium but im just 90% sure. Theres a 10% that it can be sold for credits, just because it's limited and only a few will get it, so it's the same thing.

The staff said that making it available to everyone would defeat the purpose of the golden ticket, and they won't defeat the purpose because they are selling them for the varium players only to not defeat the purpose. If they sell them for varium only it won't be available to everyone.



The Incredible Hulk -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 15:52:45)

True, If Non-variums had it, I would be super annoyed that they could join in and get one.






ReinXI -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 15:58:01)

that bites... I was looking forward to standing a chance but now? nope I'm probably out of the running thanks..

All that will remain are the last few tickets offered for a limited time.



It said, there will be a few tickets (Maybe 10-25), thats a good thing that they are putting a few in rather selling it in bulk

Thats a good thing I guess



Blitzex/Sr. Zeph -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 16:08:34)

^ That all depends on how much tickets they wanted to sell.

Lets just hope there wont be more then 250 tickets in total (yes the remaining are counted in that number).



ReinXI -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 16:23:14)

why should there be any remainder any ways? I bought the promo ( mostly for the yeti's / weapons ) but the added perk of being able to get a golden yeti ( if int he top 100 ) was amazing now there telling me someone who didn't pay for the promo can get the yeti? how's that fair :/



Blitzex/Sr. Zeph -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 16:27:50)

^ It isnt, thats why im so upset.
I brought the promo mainly for the Golden Yeti (i already have enough weps) and the other yetis.

And now it will be available in-game?
Then i wouldnt have brought var in the first place since the other 2 yetis are also for credits.

Why? Do they even have a chance against varium players? Maybe in Omega ,but you don't know anything about that yet(i).

What are you talking about ,250 tickets is a lot ,since there will be only 100 winners.

Edit : If it's a limited quantity why would it not be available to non-variums too ?You are so selfish.



Because it's a new feature and that's one of the varium perks, early access. Just like the original juggernaught card.



Mother1 -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 16:55:41)

@ blade

It was originally a way to thank the paying players for supporting the game. Remember the paying player is already losing the power of stats, and the enhancements advantage so non variums can compete.

Also as stated it was originally stated that this would be a reward for those who preordered the promo. Many people brought the promo just for this. So now those people who did buy it for that purpose would feel ripped off especially if they make it a credit ticket.



the final hour -> RE: Good and Bad news for Ticket Owners (1/9/2013 16:56:50)

@blade98

I'm not complaining but from the sounds of omega non vars are going to be brought up to even footing or as close as with variums . i think thats quite good enough considering my point is i dont think the ticket for non vars is a good idea i mean come omega varium is going to be pretty much worhtless anyway . so their has to be something or no one would buy it . then EDs in trouble .

so really it isnt selfish
