At least make it Character Pack+. That I find reasonable. Some players can't even wear the hat and it's frustrating for the staff and the players.

Yeah but it encourages players without the character pack to buy it, which is good I guess

This has been implemented for a while, and other factors are in place when picking players for the queue.

Maybe when an admin makes a queue make it do there are 3 queues to pick from " queue 1 " queue 2 " and "queue 3 " only one of these queue will actually be the one where people are picked from ! if you pick the right queue 1/3 probability Then ou get more chane to actually get Into the event ?

That does nothing. What if not enough people choose that queue? Then they'd have to do it again. Make Events warpers around the map and have them Character Pack only. The coin system is the way to go

I never see less than 1k players online , I ding think there would be any queue with less than 60

1000 people. 30 player event.

30 / 1000 = 3%

1/3 * (30 / 333.3) = 3%

This doesnt change anything lol, same statistical probabilities.

They could do 5 events in a row(of the same event) and the 5 winners get to compete for the hat in a winners only event.

Natso 05-19-2014 05:40 AM

Maybe have 3 queues then , the first queue is random so anyone can join, second one is like 1.5k hours + and the seconds ones 3k + and a equal amount of olayest is picked from each one

Ya! That way we discourage all players who just joined! There are more players that have less than 1k than there are with more. Return events to the way they were: knowing the map/locations, not knowings how to click a button.

If lag is such an issue, DONT LET ADMINS GIVE EASY HINTS!
A hint is: water, or a large bed; these arent exact, abd theyre are multiple around the map. This spreads players out to search for it.
A hint isnt: Snowtown, or Zols Pub; obvious abd makes HUGE lag spikes, and PK fights.

This is why they ended the good system: BAD HINTS

Im sure there is a lot of factors you coukd use to determine who is able to join an event que. The thing is you have to be carefull with that so there is no way players can claim that there was favortisim involved by the admins choosing who gets in to the event. Theres all ready enough complaints/drama by players about getting cheated out of a hat by admins. Just leave it be its fine as is.

I agree with Honeybadger they used a lot of the same hints and most where to easy. They needed to be more inventive and vague with thier clues

Natso 05-19-2014 03:26 PM

Try still do warp events at early euro time which I fantastic , why not just set up 3 warpers in 3 different places ?! That way there would not be 7338273 people heading one way ... They would all separate and try to go through other warpers

PennyShine 05-19-2014 11:46 PM

Honestly, I see no problem with the current system. Even though I've never gotten into an event using the queue before, I think it's the fairest way to do it, and it eliminates lag spikes. I bet if they went back to warpers only, everyone would be whining again about ET and people playing events when they already have the hat.

I think we need an automatic events system like Era has. Make it free to enter with a moderate gralat reward depending on how many players there are. The staff hosted events could be the ones for special hats and stuff.

No becouse when the player counts at 3000 then a least 300 people are probably going to be rushing to it

I think it should require some sort of skill to enter a event, and make it do you any enter warp if you already have the hat ...

On Era it sends a message every so often for a random event, and you just click join if you want to join, and the fastest get in. So nobody would be rushing to one spot like they used to for warpers.
