I don't get it. This is getting absurd.
First Inno has been making events without breaks in-between. Valentine's, Carnival, and now FA.
This is what many players want and more importantly, it's what makes inno money- It's crazy to expect them to give us
less game.
Then, FA is announced on Beta, we have an info from Sunday, week later, and after that - nothing.
Now its Wednesday, and lots of us have already started 2 days productions in order to get statues. I still don't wanna believe it could be for nothing at all.
Beta is primarily a testing server, we are here to give feedback on new features and updates while catching bugs hopefully before they go to Live servers. In exchange, we get a sneak preview of
some things free diamonds for catching bugs, and our feedback helps shape the games new features.
Beta is
not a crystal ball so that players can see the future and greatly reduce the challenges of an event on Live servers.
Think about your complaint. You are attempting to get a 2-day advantage over the FA by starting productions early. That's effectively changing the FA from 6 to 8 days, a 33% increase!
How can we accurately test and give feedback about the degree of difficulty in a 6-day event and then launch an 8-day event on live?
Don't get me wrong, we all do it- I even send out a message for everyone to start statues and spells etc.
There was a recent announcement regarding the new challenges feature that said
"In the future challenges will be more challenging and happen without warning", which makes sense because the last challenge took me literally 2 seconds to complete. So it seems like this loophole is not what the developers intended, and if they want to make the FA 6 days instead of 8 then I completely accept it and even embrace it.
That all being said, FA's without notice have my full support, but only once they implement the challenges system to replace the FA decline system. Until then I really don't care that much as the whole thing is just a giant dumpster fire.
