Lol, so it looks like we're not getting that open folks.

Staff has definitely tampered with numbers this event, like they do every event because they can't leave well enough alone. One minute we were at 99% about to open Tier 2, next minute we dropped to 50% and it took as an entire 7-9 more days to get that Tier open. Considering the event has 4 tiers it should be completely fine that we open two tiers within 10 days. We're in the 20s of the month now-- this is generally where you see the third tier open already if not close to it, but again.

Unless Tier 3s progress bar is fairly small, Diabolic, Hellraiser and the rumored ~new~ craftable aren't going to available to us lol

This event has too much going on. We never had problems opening the Tiers before, even the 4th Tier, before angels and demons were added. Staff is asking for the same, if not more, amount of rabid animals being killed while also making users choose between using their limited time and energy on angel and demon stuff if they want certain items. I've been on the demon side (huge mistake btw), and you don't get many rabid animal encounters when you choose a side. Unless you're doing a quest, MOST encounters are angel/demon related (and they give you absolutely abysmal amounts of event currency. I easily lost out on 100s of BB since Oblivion isn't available for 10 days and since I DIDNT know you had to get reputation to even use Oblivion (as it was stated nowhere and I did not choose a side in previous events), I was forced to stay an extra 5 more days. Staff shrugged at me when I pointed out their oversight, how it negatively affected me, and that it was unfair. Thanks staff). So a few things need to happen.

* The amount of rabid animals required to be killed needs to be lowered.
* The amount on the Tier bar needed needs to be revealed at all times.
* Stop messing with the Tier numbers, especially if you know it's just going to make users angry and it's progressing along at a reasonable rate.

I would, again, like to remind everyone of date based unlocking. If Staff is just going to force us along at the same progress every month, often refusing to help if we lag behind unless we kick up a fuss or make ridiculous demands next tier to keep us generally around a 7/14/21 schedule, then what is even the point of this "group effort" crap? Why put in the hard work, if it means nothing in the end? We get nothing no sooner because of number tampering or if we do, we pretty much get punished next Tier with the number being raised TOO high in response.

You make some good points and I'm on the edge of supporting and not. The problem is a lot of players don't participate in specific events or freeze their accounts for them. While my personal account-freezing is typically July, I imagine quite a few people freeze over for October, and a lot of people periodically freeze to preserve kings and lions.

However I really do like the data based unlocking of tiers, *or* encourage active accounts to earn a set amount each day. I would also like more insight on how staff works out the tiers? A little more transparency on their part would be super appreciated. Supporting but on the windowsill

Support. My biggest issue is easily the too much going on. Personally I've had just fine rabid animal encounters on the angelic side, but it's very frustrating to need to choose between getting BB for the Shack or Nirah, or getting the demonic scales to get Heaven items. And not just "Well, I'll get x fewer of y" but, like Jax said, adding up to large discrepancies. This is my first October, and I really love the storyline (wish there was more to it) but it's really frustrating trying to balance the BB heavy encounters (Wraith lion, for example) with demon and rabid.
There's just Too Much going on. The angels and demons give such pitiful BB, but only 1 scale/feather. I've gotten more scales from blessing than from fighting, I'm sure.

Add in the hidden amount and the changing progress, and it just made me feel increasingly drained. I spend hours online each day, and that's not possible for many; but I watched the bar shift around wildly, and every time it went backward I felt increasingly sad and angry. It's not very rewarding to get to a new tier when the bar drops from 99% to 80% with no warning, and crawls the next few days to get back.

I thought the bar shifted but wasn't sure if I was crazy or not. 'cause I know that I looked at one time for Tier 2 and it at like 99% and then when I saw it again, it was like at 88% or something like that and I could have swore that it wasn't like that before. Guess I'm not crazy. XD

Support.

I personally think it should be date based. It's fair and not subject to being messed with too hard.
