Here is the rewards list for the Watchdog Theone Raid Boss, which is scheduled from 4/24 @2PM Pacific Time through 4/27 @ 2PM Pacific Time.
Please note that the Raid Boss is scheduled to be a four day event, though the in-game calendar shows it as being five days.
The way I believe Gree counts days is:
Day 1 - 4/24
Day 2 - 4/25
Day 3 - 4/26
Day 4 - 4/27
After reading the post from the mods on Sunday I was nervous I would not finish the individual. My faction finished the raid boss in 24 hours then helped other factions get theirs. I was was going to use that last day to concentrate on the individual prize. The way I read the post and based on my experience with Gree (2.5 years), there wasn't going to be another day as per the in game calendar. so I used all my tapjoy gold (100 gold, well worth the prize) to get it. If I knew for a fact I had that extra day, I would not have needed to used all my gold.
Basic math does not equal Gree math and in this game, it's the Gree math that matters.

LOL why stop? valor is a perfecty good prize in fact better than the 25/27 prize buy yourself 300k in stats with that valor

There is a timer on the Raid Boss screen telling you how much time is left in the event. Did your whole faction miss this? You have nothing to complain about.
100% agree..even with the timer clicking down to 2pm pst yesterday mini faction was pushing harder and harder on 27/27 to get at least the extra loot even if the event did end..its just a mistake him and his faction will have to learn from
i understand that bud..u guys just made a huge mistake in not contiuneing to go forward..there was valor on each one as well..its alright we all have made mistakes and im sure i will make many more..just chalk this up as a learning experince and grow from it
Sad to say many similar situations have occurred in the past. I'm guessing you're new enough to make the mistake of listening to what Mods say. I make that mistake on occasion as well. Someone said it earlier.... Always go by the event clock. Not the globe... Not the mods. Event clock has always been the most accurate source.
Always go down swinging... A good rule in general... give up... Well that's on you. If the event ended early as you thought... And you went down fighting (well even if you didn't) ... You would have a good argument to get some sort of recompense. Either with gree or iTunes. If it didn't end early you would have still been in a position to complete. Not everyone reads these forums. For that reason they have a clock for each event telling you how long you have to complete the event. I know it's hard to trust anything which gree does... But in the future trust that. And as always.... Go down swinging.
It's a tough situation though. What if the mod was right about the date. What if the globe/event time was wrong. People would be upset either way. I don't know why people think they are almighty and know exactly when the event would have ended. Obviously Gree screws up again but that's commonplace now. We actually stopped farming early as well on 26/27. We thought just in case it would be the safer bet to get everyone the wrapper prize. Anyways we still finished and completed 27/27 so in the end it all worked out. At least for us.
I, myself, have always used the countdown clock for the event. There have been many many posts by mods that have stated "...always go by the event timer... never go by the date on the globe, the forums, or anyone's post. They may not be correct."
Doesn't mean the timer is 100% correct, but I have not witnessed one being wrong yet in 2+ years.
do you not count the day it starts as 1st day,so if starts 24th=1, 25th=2, 26th=3,27th=4,28th=5,....5 day event,not 4.

You do not count the first day.... A day = 24 hours. Thus 1 day would mean 24th + 1 = 25th at same time... Simple math. My 5 yr old can even count days.
I understand the outrage. It's not unreasonable due to confusion. We spent a lot of time Sunday determining the approach as it was we decided to trust the countdown clock and take the view that if we didn't finish we weren't going to spend a shed load of Gold.. Balanced out decision on likely cost to achieve the desired outcome.
Thief has many times commented that you have to pause for breath with these events and determine is the cost really worth the outcome. Our expectation was that the clock was right and even GREE would not put the boss health up by 50% and shorten the event to 60% of the previous time. But we had to plan based on assumptions and took the risk..
wasn't there a timer on the rb summon tab??? why weren't people reading that I wonder?
BNdawgs we certainly were watching the clock and as you have quoted used that to finalise our decision. However when a moderator posts something that's at odds it certainly has to be considered and assessed. In our case we assumed he was wrong, that proved correct. Clearly not everyone else made that call hence the outrage that's been noted.
That's true in real life but not always true in Gree's world. And congratulations on the smart 5 year old.
always have to go by the game clock. since not everyone that plays MW is a member here
