16 hour Activity Revision(Replied)

Last edited by BTO-CS217 at 7-Mar-2010 01:41

USA is a Big country, which goes over 2 or 3 time-zones. Of those timezone, there are people living on different Schedules.
Some of those people are playing this game. Since they might have a busy schedule they might miss some of the more valuable 16-hour activites like Breakfast and Jogging. Those 2 activities are CRUCIAL to players getting Gratis gold for their VIP passes every month. However, since non playing customers who cant partake in Morning Activities cant get their Gratis gold. They feel it is unfair. Some of them are Quitting because their VIP passes ran out. (Go see my post about VIP passes addiction for Novices).

I recomend Removing some of the more useless 16 hour activities until there are only 12 of them. and Doubling the ones that are left. so that after first 12 activities are all done with (00:00 AM - 12:00 PM) there will be a second set of same activities (12:00 PM - 00:00 AM).
Problem with players taking advantage and doing activities multiple times? Nope. Just make it so a Player can only do 1 activity of same type per day. This way if a person does not have enough time to attend some activities they can also catch them laters on and still get their daily fix.

This WILL help the player Base, and this WILL help those players who complain the game is too hard without paying money.

Which ones do you count as "the more useless ones", though? Because there is a use for all of them, even if people don't always USE them.

You know, it's a human race. And you just lost.

I think they should create different timezones in different servers.

I don't see why Times Square isn't based on an Eastern Time zone server time, while you made a Hollywood server based in the pacific time zone. Not sure of a major Business center based in Mountain time, but you could give us our own too.

Synergy and Grand awards just need to go. Even if I'm on I don't do them since Synergy gives you nothing if you are in a guild and Grand Awards is broken. That brings it down to 10 different ones. So really you need to add 2 more if you want each one to go for an hour.

I'll make another post with a couple ideas for new activities. But I love this idea.

I like this idea very much. Synergy and Guess Who could be eliminated completely and Grand Awards too (if it really is broken). Dreams Come True could be improved with better rewards. Taking a Break doesn't work if you are doing any routines, so that should be fixed or eliminated too. I am in the Eastern Time Zone, so I've never been able to do the last 4 activities, as they are past my bedtime.

I've had the same problem, now as a suggestion and some pro-active thinking.

I would make it a 24 hour activity and shuffle all those events...
This would equalize the chances for everybody all over the world!

I fully agree with the making it a more of a 24 hour type of thing. I know lots of people who stay up for the new day and I believe it would make things more interesting to have some activities going throughout the day.

And have them shuffled every day, or make them move +1 hour every day, so you get like a 24 day cycle!
Now there's an inequality which needs to be resolved.

Or make it so users can do each activity once / day, BUT at ANY time during the day. The activity takes 1 hour or 1 1/2 hours as usual, but users can do them at their leisure. Kind of like how we would do routines. This way nobody misses their favorite activities or "waste" time with useless ones.

And for bidding, could just remove it from 16-hour activities and put it in funfair, where it's a day long activity. Or keep it in 16hr activity but make results posted at midnight.

Or possibly make 16-hr activities queued, so we can do them when we aren't online (?). We preselect which books, breakfast, bid we want, and system executes the activity at the correct time.

Or not lol.

I like kelly's idea most tbh. Jesus brings up only American Timezones. Well there are Europeans playing this game too and Australians. So nice you think only of a third of the timezones. Kelly's idea would be best for EVERY imaginable timezone. Que everything, then at 23:59 hand out all rewards. Superior idea really.

Love this idea. I work nights and sleep during the day, this would allow me the same chance as those on my opposite schedule without giving anyone a reall advantage but equaling the playing field. Great suggestion. Would love to see this implemented.

I'm also for moving things about.  I don't see a problem with the activities as-is, but some of those rewards aren't worth the cost.

Also, since the stores are all open 24-7, it makes sense that the activities would be 24-7.  Doing things in a specific order makes sense as well.

Most people also have jobs, jobs which won't let them get online to do the 16-hour activities.  Being able to do them in one's free time would certainly make it easier for people who work or (goddess forbid) sleep during that time.

Perhaps making the queue able to handle more than 10 at a time would be good as well, since you shouldn't be able to go jogging while you're negotiating, for example.

I have voted yes for a change but please keep 'Guess who' activity.

When I got awful luck, the only reward I can get for free
from the 16 hours is actually from the Guess who activity,
because with all the others activities,
I 'randomly get nothing' or cash loss (News express, Taking a break).
Guess who is the only non luck based activity,
it makes the activities more varied.

There could be some way to improve the rewards and allow more people to get rewards from all activities (example with Synergy, not just for people outside guilds).

I made a suggestion to improve the rewards,
and several people made some suggestions,
to make the activities more available for everyone of any time zone.

Some ideas there (please consider the workaround solutions,
the rewards are just examples you can suggest other rewards) :

The USA has a massive advantage over the rest of the world in this game and you are whining about a few hours?
