we had a sucessful convention in Beverly Humps

why doesnt count for Christmas

cant believe

[RosyCheekz]

Well, the challenge does say a Christmas convention, and that one wasn't Xmas themed. It'd be tacky to have a qualifying convention in an area so many folks can't reach.

anyway the most other conventions fails so what ?

makes no sense

should be online 24 hours a day ? to catch a  sucess ?

this sh.. makes noone happy

3.1 million in one hour.

 

Is there any kind of logic applied to these goals?

[Kitekat]

take the possible and  double it

I think this is perhaps a likely part of the problem.  It is not logic, or even an algorithm designed to make the conventions reachable. It is simply a random number generator, with the same number ranges for all of their servers.  Servers with low populations are going to be faced with unattainable goals on a regular basis.

 

Impossible conventions in general do not bother me much. What cheeses me off is that until it is possible to actually HAVE a successful convention, it simply makes no sense to include convention requirements in Temples and special seasonal events.

I know what you mean. It's the last task I need completed for the Christmas event

well one thing i have concluded is the number of fans is a factor. each show bring a number of visitors. that number is dependent on the number of fans you have. meaning when i had 400k fans i was average about 40 visitors per show. no that i have 888k fans i am averaging about 85 k per show.

 

so in other words if the the online players with huge fan base are not participating in the convention it will fail. since the rewards for high end player suck. they have no reason to participate. hence convention will usually fail.

Last Christmas convention:  3.6M in an hour.  

 

Lots of people are motivated - EVERYONE has to get this or spend 289 diamonds for 10 skills and a very likely crappy piece of gear.

 

So the rate of increase is better than normal! We are going to hit 2.5M fans for this one.  Well, maybe less -- you can hear the giant sucking sound as players realize this convention will fail, and they stop playing.

 

I am telling you Nutaku.  2M or so per hour is all your server will support. And if you start impossibly high, no one will start, or they will leave halfway.  Just like I'm doing - my time is better spent farming.

 

And NO, I am not rewarding you for making a series of impossible conventions by blowing 289 diamonds to finish the holiday quest.

 

PS: The only people in my studio that finished this event got up at 4AM Eastern time to find a convention that had reasonable requirements. Or they were European, and that convention ran in the middle of their day.

The more shows you do, the fewer new visitors you get for each show.  Even for players with really large fan bases, it cuts down quickly to just a few new visitors per show.  

 

Although you are correct that players with big fan bases are needed, there is a limit to what they can do, too.  You need lots of people participating, and on a low population server, that is very difficult.

Failed by 900K.  Just as I predicted fifteen minutes in.

 

I may be just a player, but DEAR NUTAKU - sometimes even us players can tell you a few things about how your game works.

[Sadie2]

This is beyond ridiculous if you ask me.  Our most recent Christmas Convention on Nutaku, the number 1 person I noticed, only had around 39 shows if I remember right.  Clearly as the time goes by and everyone realizes that there is no way to reach the goal in the amount of time given, everyone drops off.  I'm refusing to spend diamonds for the Christmas requirement either.  The Successful Convention requirement is just unattainable and unreasonable with the way they do things on our server.

[Foxy_Redhead]

Well, that was it. No way to complete the last task for the Christmas event.
