Let's discuss "Mine Maze"

[DarthvaderjonGTR 615]

Have something to say, when shaft is looking at you, you are able to see laser, WHY THEY DID NOT USE DRUGGS ? 

 

It's not all on ruiners )) En_event account users could save the event too, but they made mistake  ))

One of the organisers had fatal error during the event so he couldn't move. And the others were trying their best to salvage the situation. It was hard enough to organise, even harder to accept the fact that thick headed people were trying their utmost to ruin it. You think after all that work putting into organising it, they would make such a "careless" mistake? Don't just view the situation from a high pedestal and criticize. Try putting yourself in our shoes. As I mentioned before, the sheer numbers of mines used caused some of our computer performances to drop to single digit fps. Not to mention, I find it funny you are blaming the organisers for the fault of a uncooperative ruiner whose intentions were exactly the opposite of ours.

You can use as many as possible ... it was parkour map, you could save event, but fail ... :X

Yes, i used it every second. I did my best to save event. 

[poly_the_cool 50]

ok Happy now i see they are doing event again tommorow

[Yele 3,982]

guys, this is a new event and as much as we have tried to be perfect, unfortunately several problems happened, we apologize to the players who have waited and had to leave without completing it. We will organize another one very soon and try to solve all problems in advance
 

[r_Mia1 8,513]

*** "Event starts somewhere in between 17:00 and 19:00 utc+0". MEANING OF THIS: 

- Event will be posted ANY TIME between 17:00 and 19:00. Means you will either way have to wait or not (up to you). We might post it at 17:00, or even at 19:00. This event was posted on time we mentioned in post. If you had to wait for 1,5 hour, it's not our problem since we already said this is a new system that you alone asked for. If you want, we can return it to old one and all same players gonna join again. 

 

*** "Links didn't work!". REASON:

- First of all, we apologize for posting bad links. It was our mistake and we do accept all blame you put on us for this. Person posting these links mixed something up, and you all got errors. Some people were smart enough and they fixed links alone and joined battles, while others were just shouting. We still apologize for this huge mistake and hopefully it won't happen next time. 

*** "Why he had another equipment and didnt get kicked?". ANSWER:

- Why? Because kicking takes a lot of time. You gotta copy name of a player, put it in separate program, click "go" and repeat several times until this action is done. Until admin do this, player with another equipment will have enough time to destroy the event. 

 

*** "Why I got kicked as soon as I joined battle? Rules says I can change after I join?". ANSWER:

- Yes, you can change right after you join. But you probably joined event later which made admin think you are going to destroy event. That's why he went to kick you out of it before anything happens. That's why we recommend taking requested equipment before joining events, to avoid these situations. We had many players coming with different equipment which lead to fail event. We again apologize.

 

*** "I waited way too long, bought pro pass and in the end couldn't join!". WHY:

- You were not the only one waiting. Many of people were waiting together with you. Even moderators (en_events) were waiting but they are not complaining. 

- You again are not the only one who bought pro pass. And why making drama out of spending 5k crystals? It didn't go for a waste. They gonna be more events every few days, where you again will be able to win 15k crystals. Maybe in between this you will have to go to some private battle where your friend is ranking up, so pro pass is always useful to have. 

- Already explained why you couldn't join, and I apologized for that. Won't happen again. 

 

*** "Organizers are giving us some rules, and they themselves don't know what rules are!". EXCUSE ME:

- As a moderator said this, it made me so surprised. But still, will give you an answer and explanation. Organizers know rules very well. Problem is you were in battle for more than 10 seconds, probably around 4 minutes and that is why you got kicked. Faking story around is never a good thing.

 

*** "Organizers could save events if they knew how to use drugs! It's not all about ruiners!". WRONG:

- Drugs sometimes don't help. Especially not in battle where you posted 5000 mines, where you have terrible lags. Even with Double Armor EN_Event can get killed because it's really hard to control your tank on a map full of mines that you posted.

FINAL:

 

Why it took us so long to post links? We started posting mines on time. But EN_Events started getting "Fatal Error" and they had to post mines all over again. If you are smart enough, you will understand that 5000 (or more) mines doesn't take 5 minutes only. After posting 100 mines, you start lagging so bad. After 1000 mines, you no more can control your tank. You are going like this ~~~, instead of this -----. That's why it took us a lot of time. We had 4 fatal errors and many other delays, BUT we will managed to post links on time we mentioned in post. 

 

You really have no respect nor appreciation most of time. All you can do is complain, shout, again complain. Seriously, how about you put yourself on our place? We are here for you, organizing these events for you, using our time for you. We get NOTHING out of this, while you get a chance of winning 5k-15k crystals + some fun + being on video. If you really can't understand some simple things, we can stop hosting events and you go to battle and play hard to win these crystals. We will be very happy because we won't have to stress ourselves for trying to making everything perfect while someone join and destroy it in a second. 2 en_events got killed, including event that was posting mines together with me on middle ranks. But no matter how  upset I was, I tried to stay alive, to focus and I let the event continue with mines that I posted on my half of map.

 

We here are trying to get some help from you because we aren't doing anything for us. We are doing a favor to you. If you will keep destroying every event in the future, we will stop hosting them for sure. It's easy to be a bad person. I challenge you to be a good one.

 

I put blame on both sides. I apologized in names of my co-workers and my name also. Will you apologize too? It's up to you.

High Ranks - - 15000 crystals

Dear event participants,

 

I want to apologize on behalf of Tanki and the team of event organizers for the technical difficulties experienced today.

 

Trying to manage multiple aspects of the event, I failed to double-check the integrity of the links, and so dozens of players were unable to join the battle, and consequently, participate in the event. I take full blame for that error.

 

Although we have moderators to kick violators from the events, there is literally not enough manpower to keep up with all the violators in all the battles, especially at lower ranks. That, combined with technical limitations of the kicking system results in some violators not being spotted, while some innocent players, who have not changed, being kicked.

 

On the other hand, it would be nice to receive a little support from you from time to time. Nine people, including administrators and helpers of various positions, had to spend over three hours actively participating in the organization of today's event. That's a total of 27 man-hours - over a full day of preparation! We get absolutely nothing out of this, and we do it all for you, and that applies to every event held till now. I understand that it's not easy to miss an exciting event, or even spend 5000 crystals and get nothing in return, but some appreciation wouldn't hurt.

 

I can say with certainty that similar mistakes will not occur in the future, and I apologize once again for the trouble it has caused you.

 

I will close this topic for a few hours to insure that everyone has gotten a chance to read this explanation, while I clean the topic from repeated complaints. You may continue discussing the event tomorrow or the day after.

 

Sincerely,

 

Archy

At least the one with high rankers went well. :)

[danilo8667 234]

Why links weren't on official facebook announcement page ?

[Ilia.ArchangeI 6,785]

Why links weren't on official facebook announcement page ?

[toanuparu_GT 7]

[chiddychiddy 6]

Can you post the notice on the home page of tanki?

[Guest Maserati]

[r_Mia1 8,513]

It was the best because you won, huh? :P 

 

We have few more events (new ones), but we will test them first. You might get old events these days until we are sure new events are good to be hosted. :)

Kinda, 2 reasons:

• I won with an M0 Combo/1st win ever
• Funny event + it is new, I don't like old events except the Mine Hunt

I agree it's funny, but in my opinion the hardest event to organize + this event can be destroyed in a second. 

 

I'm going to talk to admins and ask them to give us prodigy paint, fully mued, on every en_event account. Only this way we can be sure we won't get killed.

The event did not run as smoothly as planned, and there were some hiccups on the way - some preventable and some not. But rest assured we all tried our very best! It's a little harder than some perceive laying thousands of mines all across a map! I myself had to restart more than a couple times due to fatal error and other mistakes ( ;) )

 

Hope you all enjoyed this event at least, maybe we can do it again in future.

 

Maybe a paint that gives us complete protection from all turrets except isi :p

[r_PC-JACK0 91]

I want to commend and congratulate the staff that worked very hard and diligently on this project. Yes I said project.  I watched them plan and work for hours upon hours for these events to take place. None of the staff got paid anything for their time and efforts. They only did and do these events because of their love for Tanki and the desire for the players to have some fun in a different way. Again thanks staff for all your

work and efforts. :):)

I still have a doubt :P

How did many of the players knew it was going to be in EN 11?

I saw so many of my friends there and ended up being in the correct server

Exactly... A paint like godmode_on for EN_Events will solve 90% of problems.

Skilled on test server,i'm hero in this way B) ,but won't be able to take apart.

I wonder the same if you believe me. I'm working on it. I'm watching over each moderator who is participating in these events. Telling anything to friends is not allowed. I think the problem is that some people have spectator on main account and they usually have all those people in their friend list. Next time none of us gonna be online from main accounts. Guess it will be fine then.

i think en_event can hide in the "under hole" area in stadium map with Jade/picaso/prodigi with double armor, and 2 mamthon freeze guarding in front of the gate, also with mine spreading the entry.

 

or is it because you can't change hull into mamthon after mining with hornet?

It is not a good idea to hide in that hole because it won't be fair to all. And what's use of putting mines all over the stadium then? Most of them will spawn on the other side and later they gonna complain.
