Why is the Midtown event so damn long?

[Hawaiian11]

I feel that the midtown event is way to long, I like the fact that it incorporates the weekends and it should stay that way. Gree is making huge cash off of gold right now. Think bout it, If your faction is in the top 25, your faction has spent hundreds of real dollars to stay there just like my syndicate has. I think it should start on Fridays and end on Sundays.

It always a 5 day event because prizes are so good they can't exactly make it easy to get prize otherwise it would be pointless. Only the best can last 5 day.

To be honest war are normally longer take world war one 1914-1918. That's 4 years

[EDIT 1]
History of crime city event
Box event - 5 days
Boss events - 5 days
Leader board events - 5 days
invasion event - 5Days
Syndicate war - 5 days

You just analogized an unrealistic computer game simulating gang violence with world war I in an attempt to justify the developer's decision as to how long an in-game event should last. Before I tell you how stupid that is, what was your point anyway? That because WWI was 4 years long a crime city event should last 4 years? Please clarify.

[Bala82]

I am saying that it's reasonable for midtown event to be 5 days because of the prizes on offer :).

World war was the bait i used for you to reply :).

it's boring sunday and i got couple of hours kill and you usually a good sport about bantering with me.

[Crime Time]

If it was shorter, would the prizes decrease?

[Bala82]

I would imagine so but i think the stats on prizes would decrease

[gunny22]

because prizes are so good


The 1000 and 4000 prizes are not really that good. They are allright if you are below level 25.

We had better for 700 PVP victories.

[Bala82]

You do understand prizes are cumulative ?

Synicate with top 1000 will also prize top 4000

[Master Stormzs]

The prizes in CC are on par with, in terms of stats, as those in the MW event. Except the MW event is three days. I'm guessing Gree will see how the CC 5 day event pans out. If it's a huge success, they'll probably keep it that way, or they may change it to three days, you can only hope.

[AshKetchumAge10]

I'm just hoping that they reduce it to 3-4 days. Five days is too long. Seems like only a few of my syndicate members are actually doing the real work.

Wasn't the first MW war 5 days than members complain so it got reduced?

Yes, you're right! Hopefully enough will voice their opinions, and if Gree listen....then it should hopefully be a three event.

Synicate with top 1000 will also prize top 4000

The previous event, St. Patty's Keg had the following prizes (also cumulative):
3 beers: 65/78 saintly sawn off
5 beers: 121/96 blazing molotov
7 beers: 160/160 celtic rune blade
9 beers: 159/230 st. patty's chopper

Not even necessary to mention the final prize.

Only could start on saturday and got no. 9 prize with 2 fingers in my nose.

This synd war
4000: 250/300 Experimental C4

Currently in position 2000, after hard work (attack every 3 hours).
Maybe we get the C4 if we keep this up 5 days long.

I don't think that is a fair deal.

[Bala82]

I am going to wait for the winners list to see how it all turns out

[The_Don]

Five days is too long, interest wanes

[Trebor]

More days more gold more money

[nytelock]

it's indeed too long, they need to shorten it... more gold for them, but it's draining the blood from our very souls...

[honeybadger]

Depends when the next syndicate war is. I'll need two months to recover from these 5 days.

[Bala82]

Next war will be following week

Having it only on weekends makes it hard for a lot of people who actually do things. It's much easier to check my phone for CC when at my desk at work or home during the week, then when spending time with my family and friends on the weekend. Many of us aren't the people who are home all weekend to play CC or to tap, tap, tap away while at a restaurant, a bar, or even playing with our kids in the backyard.

Maybe that's just me.

[murf]

um top 4000 is only 8,600 influence points.... that's about 29 wins, what type of prize do you think they deserve?

top 1000 is only 88,000 points, or ~290 wins. And that's for the whole syndicate. Not really too hard to get to the amount.

[murf]

I would imagine so but i think the stats on prizes would decrease

Really, you think the amount of gold FC spent to gain 45,000,000 points in the 1st 3 days wasn't enough for the prizes on offer?

It's not necessarily because the items are great because they aren't awesome omg woot items. They are subpar just like the #1 item (33% energy increase...come on wtf that should be a top 4k haha). The reason the event is 5 days is because they just went on vacation and have to justify that expenditure by making us pay more

They really aren't going to make that much more money the next 2 days...1st and 2nd, which are probably 50%-80% of total gold spending are locked in and won't be spending that much more gold...and except for maybe a few teams right at a level increase, no teams further down will spend much either...you will probably have the last minute fury, but that would have happened whether it was 3 days or 5 days.

[Hawaiian11]

If your syndicate is in the top 25 you are spending hell of real money on gold to stay at that position. Other syndicates in the top 40 are spending gold to get to the top 25. It crazy right now. If your syndicate I in that position, you would understand.

However, on reflection one must ask what the _future_ value of that might be? Currently in CC the only use of energy is for maps and we all know those rewards are worthless.However, anyone who plays KA will testify that you cannot have enough energy to snaffle some of the great stat items on offer in the LTQ events - which btw are great fun IMO. That is your hint as to what we _might_ see in CC...I have no inside track on it, just all IMHO.

[Bala82]

What are LTQ Event ?
