Mugsy_: Hey Elven!
Thanks for these well constructed suggestions and ideas. I am gonna grab this info and pick your brain about it in greater detail soon.
I would also like to see what others think.

Mugsy_: Very good suggestions, Elite. Input noted!

Mugsy_:
No this idea is not off the table.

Mugsy_: Hello everyone,
I am here gathering up everyone's great suggestions and feedback. Thank you so much for your creativity and insights presented in these ideas. I know the turn around time on implementing some of these changes or improvements can be frustrating but it is genuinely appreciated and will result in a more enjoyable game for everyone.

Mugsy_: That's a fair suggestion, do you think players would mind if there were a slightly longer wait for T1 tanks to enter battle?

Gaea: I happened, sorry, I tend to do that.

Yoott:

Mugsy_: That's a neat idea, maybe for an event or something. Suggestion noted.

Captain_Judo: An update is imminent! With that said, our team is working hard on finalizing details. Please be patient if our presence is missed as a result.

Mugsy_: I never got to see the idea. :(

Gaea: I don't want to see you. Naked. Outside of our building.

Captain_Judo: The only purpose of scrimmages is to provide teams with the opportunity to practice the standard, pro format. To that end, we have significantly modified the gold reward for group winners and extended awards to 2nd, 3rd and 4th place finishers of each group.
For further testing purposes, we are increasing this weekend's tier point total to 44.
This weekend's maps:Malinovka
Ruinberg
Himmelsdorf

Yoott: it cant go much longer ... Lz's are timed events starting every 30 min so capped at 64 teams it will have to end right around that time

Yoott: Do you want a cookie? do you feel special right now? You seem to think your the only one waiting for the info... I have hit refresh so many times it may not work much longer to see when the info post goes back up......

Yoott: They locked the old post because it had become a useless troll battleground and non constructive anymore..... the current new set of times, rules and changes have been getting hashed out all day with alot of player involvement and we have discussed and had them go back and change even more so please lose the soapbox. As far as I have been told it still should be out today but understand players have been involved in the decisions.

Yoott: http://forum.worldof...91#entry3562591

Yoott: You can play real CW faster.... Europe map will be open for anyone wanting to skip the event and play tier X battles... you want to play the 10 day event.... you c an but at tier 3...... TY WG for listening to the suggestions and comments and re opening up the option to play tier X battles still while the event takes place.

Yoott: I think your tinfoil hat is loose..... noone is not answering because its your son.
Understand that from the second the WGNA team walked in this am they have been on this back and forth collecting the input from players in one fashion whether on the forums, polls, direct Pms.  putting forth change ideas and having them taken apart piece by piece.  So at some points they were ready to post and someone would suggest a different change based on a poll, or other input.
Believe me I will say it you should be glad Baroom was part of some of these discussions as it helped change this event for everyone.
I also dont think Baroom is here defending anyone.. as noone needs defending.... WGNA is working to have the event reprogrammed to whatever changes it can in the time frame it has based on ALL of teh feedback given over the past few days after the announcement came out good or bad.
Baroom is here to put forth a poll to get input that can be directly used in that change.

Yoott: wow what?

Yoott: http://forum.worldof...27#entry3562927
see Gds comment that I quoted above

Yoott: 7am is when you can start placing chips... the LZ tourneys will be prime time and thats the details we are discussiing right now... there is a poll please add to it...
http://forum.worldof...39#entry3562939

Yoott: I edited mine I got dced before......
the info shoudl be out still today.. it may be late as we just finished a discussion on times with them but hopefully it will make it.

Yoott: FYI so there is no confusion... the event is moved until Friday so make your poll selections based on that

Yoott: Tourney will be around 3 hours +/- a few minutes.... the Lzs are limited to 64 teams so it really cant go much past that. so if it starts at 9pm est it would wrap up right around midnight EST approx.

Yoott: no the details should be out today at some point
Edited I got dced

GeneralDirection: The event was moved to the 25th.

Gaea: We welcome our players taking initiative and sharing this kind of information with us - I've already sent this poll to our HQ, and, seeing a player decided to put this poll up, it has much more weight, in my pov, than if I decided to post it. Just the fact that a player posted this issue means that it concerns a lot of you. And that's the message we see.

Gaea: We'll be posting news this afternoon with all the information you need.
