a good majority are US players and with us not available then the whole faction is not gonna do much during war time or maybe just sit back at a low rank and go for wins/streaks

Our team will not be going all out if wd is on 4th weekend. We spend a good amount of gold but why bother if not going all out. Oh well more money for fireworks :D

Also, its the first time in years that the 4th is on a weekend, can't wait!

4th of July is USA's biggest Holiday during the summer, specially for those states that have cold winters. Majority of people will have plans over the weekend. It would be very foolish for WD event to take place at the same time.

According to the countdown clock next WD is in 27 days, which means it will start on July 11th. So it all depends on which is right. The schedule or the clock?

Gree will not provide any support due to the 4th of July holiday so why the hell are they having WD that weekend? Either have it week earlier or better yet a week LATER I am sure no one will mind a month off from WD...

I know not everybody that plays this game is from the US, but a large portion of players are.

Will Americans seriously want to be glued their device, or will they want to go out and enjoy the weekend?

For a company that is all about maximizing profits, this is sure not the way to do it. This is hilarious.

Peril in Peru starts the 4th, event timer says 27 days, if that's the case they would have an event listed for the 11th, or more events leading to the 11th, gree isn't going to give a week + of no events, and they at least have listed the wd event since its their main event.

Same thing happened last year. Every weekend is busy in my life and that one will be no different. I'll hit when I can and my faction will still finish top 400-500. There is never a weekend where everyone in our international faction is completely free to sit around and play a game. Some members are more free than others and pick up the slack of those who cannot play much. It's teamwork and what makes this game fun.

I agree...Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays. Though I have to put Thanksgiving above it. Football, food, family, food and fall weather....can't beat that combination.


And if anyone wants to join a team with this mentality...pm me :cool:

06-17-2014, 11:02 AM
yes it does suck that the war starts on 4th of July. But no one is saying you have to play. I plan on being with family that weekend, and my plans wont change. I simply will opt out of playing. My team can either accept that (which they will) or ask me to sit out. I promise all the players that are pissed about the schedule, that the game will still be here when you get back. And if your on an honorable team that values you, you wont have anything to worry about.
Put the game down for the weekend and enjoy your families. It wont hurt or kill you.

If gree will not provide support during the next wd due to Fourth of July, they do not have the right to hold it. A regular wd is enough hell to begin with. A wd with out gree support will be out of control. I find this sad to begin with ;Gree is using the Fourth of July, a important and historic day, to maximize their profits. That is completely defacing to the state of America

why would u all even schedule a war on a historic USA holiday? i know this is a worldwide game but i bet if all the USA players sit this one out that u all would feel the pinch of it..sometimes i think u all just see what u can get away with and try to make players quit playing..i didnt stop playing but i stopped spending gold now thanks to u all..i wasnt a huge spender but if everone like me stops buying gold i gurantee gree HQ will feel it..u all have no respect for ur customers and players and now useing a USA holiday to maximize your profits is pathetic and like hayeszeus said they will not be any support other then someone hitting the generic message response that dont even anwser anything what we even ask for..

Nobody is taking anything out on him. I'm simply pointing out the facts. He said there would be support. There has never been support. Support isn't in the GREE vocabulary. They always run weekend events and wait until Monday to fake apologize for their suckiness. And you idiots keep giving them your money. It is what it is, but don't come on here and tell the community that there will be support. History has set the precedent. It has never happened, and never will happen

Thats well said man, but as you know actions are louder than words. We've heard a lot of words in the past. Nobody expects you to sit around here monitoring everything 24x7 but when the forum implodes because of stuff like what happened with the last 24 hour WD where peoples frustrations were at an all time high, there wasn't a mod in sight. Thats what we've come to expect. And handing out 75 gold as compensation for the plethora of mistakes instead of refunding real money is inexcusable. Just as one example - You release a unit for 1 gold, people buy gold to get the unit, then you take away the unit and give people back their gold instead of their money - that's unethical.

Until you stop that sort of crap from happening, all I see here are more words. If you had the power to make the decisions, I think you would do the ethical thing. It's your bosses that should be ashamed of themselves. They're crooks. I couldn't sleep at night knowing that I treated people that way. Refunding real money because of your mistakes is not "Great change". Thats normal business operating procedure. Thats being an ethical organization. Perhaps GREE needs to revisit it's mission statement.

Honestly this response is what I expect from a politician. But hey, you're communicating that effort is being made. Just know that all it takes is ONE more time for GREE to screw the community and all your words fall apart. Good effort so far on your part, just be mindful that if you're setting the tone that things are getting better you lose all credibility the minute GREE screws us again.

Your words seem sincere.
Time will reveal if things are as you say.
That said, change did occur swiftly.
The change all but destroyed your game and drove away much of your player base.
Change, positive and negative can INDEED be accomplished overnight.

Here's a very simple change.
It won't cost anyone an additional dollar.

How about adjusting the next WD date by moving it seven days or more?

As an aside, most of the holidays in the US (a few world wide) have been over HOLIDAY weekends for this game.
That alone demonstrates far more than any words could say either an act of commission or omission.
Either way, it isn't coincidence.

Your company could use that seven days to fix many things.
That would illustrate action, not just promises.

For those who wish NOT to FREELANCE during the seven day downtime, you could offer a crate event, a couple of FLTQS or LTQS or maybe a surprise event.

One more thought: Its been said by many people. Why don't you cut the prices of everything in this game by 66% for 30 days?
That's another simple change.
It'll positively impact your bottom line, T.
Show us something, and win your player base back.
People spend money, if they derive value.
Some people believe they are deriving value.
Most folks I talk to believe the opposite.
Talk is cheap.
Actions speak volumes.

There you go, those are very easy things to do.

As for myself, I'll return to the shadows to look and learn.

I will offer one last comment, T.
You are a very even tempered person.
You lean towards being fair and somewhat balanced.
That's a pretty big improvement from what many of us have observed over the last 12-18 months.

Why is it so hard to disagree and not be disagreeable?
By forcing your view on another person or discounting their view, your attempt to calm the storm only you perceive is coming, discounts and disrespects a person.
If you disagree, why dismiss their opinion?
To most people, its not about holidays. It's about being with REAL people they love, enjoy, and care about.
Some people have REAL lives consisting of real family and friends. It's not only about holidays, it's about everyday and being with people you love.

Who cares? How about 7+ billion people, whether they realize it or not. I would suspect he is just a bitter Brit and maybe a distant relative to King George III but I choose to read the "whoopie!" as an exuberant call to celebration. He is bashing the whiners but must still be excited about what the day represents. I like this game and love this holiday so get to have my cake and eat it too. WHOOPIE!

The point is that some people have lives and will not be sitting in their parents basement stuffing their fat faces with their orange Cheetos stained fingers playing MW all weekend. A lot of people will be out of town for the weekend with family or friends doing real things with real people so they will not have time for WD. A loss for Gree on gold players that will be busy doing real things. I will not be purchasing gold for a war on the 4th weekend. I will be at the lake sitting on the dock having some adult beverages with friends and having a great time.

Putting more time in between events and wars is so hard to implement. I can't imagine the effort involved to program this. I'm sure not having an event is easy to program versus having us play a glitch filled event that you get lots of negative feedback on. Please think about it.

Good luck and good fortune to everyone.
Frankly, I made my decision months ago.
I disagree with attacking another person's opinion.
I know that no one cares what I say or think.
I'm cool with that, even if my thoughts are attacked.
I understand that I'm not personally attacked or harmed in any way.
I'm thick skinned, too.

There are many others among us that aren't.
I humbly think that we should be aware when we post so that we don't offend people or hurt feelings.
If that's your choice, so be it.
Again, nothing I can do about the actions of others.
Its easy to post my silly ramblings without attacking the thoughts, ideas, and beliefs of others.
With that said, I wish everyone good health, good finances, and happiness - and that even includes the ALL of the fine folks at Gree.

I don't know any of you.
I'll never know any of you.
Whatever any of you do will never impact me.
I can say that many people take this far more seriously that I do (or ever did).

So, have yoruself a great summer in the northern hemisphere and a great winter in the southern hemisphere, too.

Just to clarify, the date of the event, Peril in Peru, is correct that it will start on 4th of July and the campaign clock is wrong.

Because according to the campaign clock, it will start around the 11th of July and not the 4th of July.

The campaign clock looks like it is 10 days off.

Another oversight?

They probably have no idea what you are talking about. It was asked when the last war just ended and the question was ignored. It's obvious that gree people don't play the game and most of the time don't understand what we are saying. That's why they ask for clarifications 20 times over and most of the time don't provide any answers. Mods are hired to do crowd control and when thinks heat up, they just hide and let things blow over. Then they show up with one liners and never provide real answers. Tadaaah started out strong but at this point he is no different than any other mods.

The Internet (or more accurately the world wide web) was invented by Tim Berners-Lee, a (shock horror) Brit. More than that, he gifted it free to the world. Somehow I couldn't see any American doing that.

Go ahead with the war. It's just a game, play for fun when you can... There will be another one...

Our faction are simply recognising the holiday and asking the team to enjoy themselves and contribute if when they can. Normal rules relaxed and we finish where we finish and have a strategy to handle the absences... It's not a big deal...

Enjoy the holiday my colonial cousins.

And yes before anyone adds the comment we aren't a top 75 faction, but have been closing on top 100 in recent wars.

Haven't been on a while and have tried to stay away but figured some variant of this thread would be here. All other differences aside, this is something that I suspect even both OSWs can agree on:

Push the wd back a week and show some respect for the Fourth of July holiday.

Not sure if irony or just stupid!

The Internet (or more accurately the world wide web) was invented by Tim Berners-Lee, a (shock horror) Brit. More than that, he gifted it free to the world. Somehow I couldn't see any American doing that.

Ah, I think you need to brush up on your history. The World Wide Web was created in 1989. The Internet started in the 1960s with funding from the US Department of Defense. So, each time you use the Internet, thank a US soldier. It was a wonderful gift ;)

So Americans are cheap and greedy... Thanks for insulting us all because you disagree with one person. I don't know about the rest of the world but every time a disaster strikes on the globe - a hurricane, tsunami, earthquake, mudslide or you name it, we are there. I see and hear ways to donate across our television and radios and see hundreds of thousand normal citizens texting in codes to donate money. I hear of the millions we regular citizens independently raise each disaster. And that isn't even considering the aid the American government dishes out in money, food, supplies, troops, and more. We are constantly at the top of the list of donating nations and have a very strong culture of helping others in need. Again, I'm not saying you or your government doesn't do its part, as I simply do not pay attention. But you need not throw out the implication that America is cheap. That's insulting.

USA is also at the top of the list for creating disasters all over the world. One country comes to mind - Iraq. Another - Ukraine and on and on.

As far as the internet, I'll stick to my version of the story. Al Gore created it.

He invented the World Wide Web in 1989. The US department of defense facilitated arpanet before that with the first successful message sent from UCLA to Stanford research institute. I believe the US department of defense, UCLA, and Stanford are all in America. You are also forgetting about CSNET and TCP/IP all around before the World Wide Web.

Nope, US military advisers have been on the ground in Ukraine for several months. US micinaries have been killing noncombatants there. Obama met with the new so called president elect and promised financial and military support. That's just a few facts.

Depends on the kind of freedom. Freedome from UK and the kingdom, yes. Not sure if we really have other freedoms.

4th of July is just a normal day for anyone outside US,other country's and cultures have specific Holidays and these are never taken into account so why so many threads about 4th July?
I have nothing against US,from my experience they are good faction mates and good fun,simple play or don't Choice is always yours.
On a side note about inventions,how would the "US SOLDIER" use the Internet without the UK invented Computer?
Charles Babbage and Alan Turing were the pioneers there both British ;)

Stop to think you are the only nation in the world. Every day is anywhere else a holiday. How you use to say? **** happens! Nobody forces you to play, decide what is more important to you. Tip: This game is not your life, at least I hope so.:)

Isn't it odd how many threads ends up with dissent among us peasants? We aren't really each others enemy. We do have an enemy in common. It's not about any specific country or religious holiday. We're all the same, just people. What's so sacrosanct or sacred about a date picked by an organization? Why can't the feelings expressed by us peasants ever be taken seriously? If it ain't one feud, it's another.
