No, it's not that we think we should have priority. You all are not seeing the problem.. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED
The Closed Beta Tournament was a best of 3 tourny. They at first scheduled it so that the America's Corps would have to forfeight 1 match because of work (was scheduled for Friday during work / school hours). We had to beg and plead for them to change the time so America Corps could have a fighting chance.
They ran events in closed beta. Had america scheduled at a decent time. it just so happened that when the event started, America kicked off 5 hours early. Only reason they knew was because I so happened to be logged in and several of us saw it, and someone from CCP just so happened to log into IRC and we mentioned it. Just so you know, it happened the entire event, and they did not reschedule the events.
Then we have these. Happening during the time America is at work / school AGAIN. This is the 3rd / 4th event now. I think we have reason to be a little angry. They keep screwing us over. And America is 2 / TWO / DOS CONTINENTS; NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA. I saw this about any worldwide MMO.. just because you are in 1 location does not mean you should screw the rest of your population base.
We understand events will take place were it's just happens that way. But to continually screw 2 continents out of events is outrageous.
I will say though I am glad they at least extended the hours to give some America players a chance to participate, but there has to be a better way. I hear automation works well  |

And I have to ask, even as you're complaining about this, you're sounding very reasonable and well-thought-out in your complaints. Have you backed people up who are getting shouted down by other Americans saying "deal with it" when another region is being screwed over? Because you sound like the kind of person who would actually be supportive of that kind of complaint even when it's not you making it.
And if you HAVE been one of the "deal with it" people in the past, has this situation made you feel guilty about that attitude?
I have backed others and in other games as well. I feel if you have a worldwide game, you need to make sure events are run at times when people in all time zones can play. Whether it be they are run for 24 hours (or longer) or separate events for different regions, you have to make sure to try and cater to those timezones. It's different than say I am in America, and I decided to play on an EU server instead of my own America server.
And I / we (at least most of us) understand that not all events can happen at times we in particularly agree with. It just happens that way sometimes. But when you start to see a pattern emerge, you begin to wonder. All we are asking is to have events that we can participate in at a decent time. And as mentioned, even with the extension, West Coast is still screwed.
Like I said, we appreciate someone from CCP is willing to stay so the event could be extended, but there has got to be a better way to manage these events. |
