A new event and two new items have been added to celebrate the World Cup.
The new event is soccer, and the first team to score three goals wins. For your first win, you will receive the normal three tickets and this golden hat:

For your second win, in addition to the normal three tickets, you will receive the golden kick-up item:


Here's a link to the facebook post.  

Awesome! Good to see some new stuff been added to carnival events that motivates players to join the carnival queues and play more!  

Nexus soccer ball item >_>  

it's honestly fun

edit: except when you get the invisible ball glitch. was 10-0 and just lost to this...  

**** is lit  

Getting the 'Players have been chosen and you aren't one of them' message repeatedly for the last 2 days. Frustrating... I've gotten into one match out of like... 20 times I tried?  

I got it first try and won LOL  

Each of the three times I have managed to get into this event... I have had players on my team disconnect or 'get kicked out for removing their tag' or 'get removed because they paused'.... Every time I've been on the right hand side of the field... and every time we've lost due to insurmountable odds. This last time it was 5 vs 2... after we had even scored a couple goals. This mini game is broken.  

Should be some type of automated punishments for people who AFK throughout team-based events, it's usually a sure loss and if it isn't it feels just as bad because you just won some scumbag free tickets  

There was one match where the opposing team’s members scored on their own goal haha  

I feel like the amount of ppl that afk should result in the same amount of ppl kicked from the other team and the team full of afkers. Example: 3 ppl afk in Team Red --> Kick 3 ppl from both Team red and Team blue.  

I don’t really see this as a big deal, but maybe just give the team with at least 2 members gone 2 tickets if they lose, or another win on their stats for having to deal with that

I guess if someone has idled repeatedly, they could place em in a low priority queue, but still seems kinda harsh, since the event doesn’t take 20 - 60 mins

Auto-goaling on purpose, after the other team scores one point, that’s something else  

or like... make it replace them with other folks from the queue who actually were present and wanted to play?  

Just make it so that if a player was AFK for 30 seconds–1 minute in a team-based event, it doesn't include them in the next 1–3 events that they would have been selected in but sends them an appropriate message instead of saying they weren't selected (for example, "You were selected for the event, but not summoned due to being AFK in a previous event")

they can just idle for an hour, and skip their punishment either way with this...
imagine if they weren’t gonna get picked either way

LPQ would lessen the amount of event messages sent to them, and in order to get out of LPQ they have to complete 3 events without idling

still, any punishment for idling just seems too strict for graal
