Wow, that was popcorn delicious! I love watching people argue a losing position and making a complete fool of themselves.
Oh, man. If I had a nickel for every fly by night gamer who said something like this in the last 6 years. LOLWow, another country heard from. Appearing foolish to a cartel of self-proclaimed experts is okay by me. I promise you that I will sleep just fine tonight. Going forward I will get a great deal of satisfaction watching my city outperform theirs and resist the temptation to circle back and rub their collective noses in it.
Most cognizant thing you've said in this thread.Blah, blah, blah.
I am afraid we will not elaborate any further on the mechanics however (though players are of course free to explore this for themselves!)
Happy gaming folks!
I'm reading it as "here's our answer, we're not getting into any further arguments"I kind of feel like it is a challenge to discover something, though I have no idea what that might be. Or I could merely be sleep deprived.
Well I got my Arc to 80 in 57 days and ended up with 3.6 million points, while it took you at least 127 days to get to 3.6 million points (not sure when you got your Arc to level 80). We both play on the same world, so it’s not like you’re not getting drastically different opportunities as I am having, since we’re both seeing the same top guilds, players, etc. GBG was only a small portion of my strategy (I literally only played less than 1 good swap season before I got kicked from the guild) and I used other methods to grow quickly. If I didn’t make some really dumb mistakes I could have optimized my strategy and reach the same point as where I am now in one less weeks.Blah, blah, blah. I accept the challenge and I hope you speak for the "others". Start your new city and let's see how you do big guy. I'll circle back with you soon to follow up.
Congrats! Impressive performance. Being in the right Guild is a critical success factor. I hope that you've found a good home.Well I got my Arc to 80 in 57 days and ended up with 3.6 million points, while it took you at least 127 days to get to 3.6 million points (not sure when you got your Arc to level 80).

What exactly are the mechanics of the Spin the Wheel in the Summer Event?
- Equal probability for each circle to land? If so, what happens when you land on an empty circle (i.e. whose prizes have already been won)? Do you just return empty-handed?
- Equal probability for each available prize, so that a green circle would initially have four times the chance of landing than a gold circle?
You never return empty handed from a spin. I don't know if the system eliminates it from the pool of places to land or if it rerolls without showing a reroll, but the player always gets a prize.Do you just return empty-handed?
I don't know of any official statement on that at this point of time, so unless someone has either seen a official source of info or proven the mechanics then the best we have are educated guesses based on what other events do and what makes logical senseEqual probability for each available prize, so that a green circle would initially have four times the chance of landing than a gold circle?
Than we as the users should inquire about giving us the option of disabling the spin and compass graphics. They can show the items on the wheel but eliminate the spin effect. Kinda like they give us an option to disable the parallax.Sounds like you've never been to Vegas. Without the spinning wheels and sparkling lights everyone would stay away. (And the slots in Vegas use exactly the same mechanic. Fake spinning to mesmerize the masses.)

Whenever I read a suggestion like this, I feel like the person is asking to be returned to the days of text-only computer games.Than we as the users should inquire about giving us the option of disabling the spin and compass graphics.

That is why I suggested the disable button. So you young whipper snippers can act like you have control over everything...Whenever I read a suggestion like this, I feel like the person is asking to be returned to the days of text-only computer games.
ZORK!!! loved it.Whenever I read a suggestion like this, I feel like the person is asking to be returned to the days of text-only computer games.
I suggested the disable button. If you want to feel like you have control over the wheel than don't disable it. I'm sure you probably still have the parallax enabled.And miss the fun every year of players being able to stop the wheel exactly where they want?
Never played Zork. And I'm pushing 50. I feel that the need of the spin and compass are unnecessary and adds to the potential of creating bugs. I'm not saying remove the effects, just give us the option to disable it like you did with the parallax effect.ZORK!!! loved it.
