Notified the team already!
can we get a progress bar please
does this game even have that many players?
I think there are. @Kafka how long will this event be running? And how much do we need for the following tiers? Where can we see the progress, or how will you inform us on how we are progressing?
The whole month. There will be no way to check progress. If you exceed the tier, you will automatically receive the reward in your in-game box.
The tier thresholds are too high and I doubt it would be possible to exceed higher than 2.
Pretty sure the reason they aren’t giving the numbers for future tiers yet is that they’re waiting to see how many players achieve goals, so they can set numbers they think will be achieved. If they set the numbers now and we don’t get close, they look bad and it shows how little people are playing their game. Whereas if they wait and set the numbers as they go, they can give the prizes out and make themselves look good.
Either way, as long as we get prizes, that’s good.
Exactly. Not defining the size of the community (global playerbase or server specific?) keeping future tier goals unknown along with no active indicator of group progress is the Standard Operating Procedure for the “let’s give them something that’s really nothing and pretend it’s a big deal” play.
No shame in the game tho I respect it.
Why do you guys think Orbs of Wisdom are so valuable?
Nope, don’t go there. Just smile that some resources the community considers valuable are easy to reach, while others the community considers trash have possibly been placed way out of reach. Then move on, there’s nothing to be gained here.
It can reward for bots only. Normal people has limited time for games.
Are you sure you aren’t talking about the TIERS in each WEEKLY GOAL? The patch notes say this:
Going by what you wrote, we need to complete the entire weekly goal, possible once each week per player for the next 4 weeks, a total of 600k times.
This just shows many of the veterans have abandoned this game. So sad.
I know this shouldn’t bother me, but, as a guild leader, I kick a lot of leeches out. Now, we have a global event that rewards everyone regardless of participation. Seems wrong to me. I hoped there would be an individual minimum participation req to receive the rewards. I’m just tired of people reaping the rewards of other people’s work.
I still fail to see why there can’t be a progress tracker in game for this as the original picture effectively implied one. Plenty of games do this for similar things. It doesn’t even need to be a live tracker. Why can’t it just update at daily refresh or when you log in?
Interesting to see what happens at weekly refresh as if we don’t get the rewards for the first week then it would appear they have over estimated players/ ‘event score’ .
600,000? That’s 4,200,000 days from now
It’s been a week since this started; how are we doing?
Congrats everyone! You have completed 600,000 Tier Goals.
Tier 1 rewards will be mailed out globally, shortly.
Tier 2 unlocks at the next 600,000 tier goals completed.
so 5 tiers in 4 weeks and we only just finished tier 1 on the 2nd week.
4 weekly goals but the “challenge is 20 days” long according to your post. There are 5 tiers. But each challenge/goal is unknown. Instead we just know the rewards.
Because we don’t know the actual challenge I’m going to assume Tier 5 is unobtainable and being used as a way to sell the Platform owners that burning marks aren’t just pay to win. There’s “ways” to obtain them for free.
First was a giveaway contest where the winners weren’t disclosed until public pressure was made. Now this. Free stuff is always great. And any incentive for more players to play Gems of War is great with me. But I value ethics above all else. Perhaps the lack of support in terms of bugs and baselines things like notifications are skewing my opinion here. But right now I feel like Gems of War is not actually trying to build for the future. Instead you guys are trying to cash out while you can. What we have here is what feels like the practice of saying here, look at this shiny coin, not at the house that is on fire.
More people see it like this. Waiting for Sirrian their video about the past and future of Gems of War to decide if i’ll continue playing or not.
