A date was given, June 2nd. Not a time. GGS is based in Germany and it will still be June 2nd in Germany for another 17 hours and 40 minutes. FHWE can start at any point within that time frame.
One could only hope.
I think the GMLs will only stay/come back if we ask to remove them
Well at least it did start. Another win for all the folks in Europe and another slap in the face for the rest of us.
In any case it would be great if, as artful says, the events start at a decent time (00:00 CEST is not a decent time for people living in that time zone) and ideally this time is known in each of the respective servers, since most players (I presume) play in servers close to their time zone. Of course, that it would require slightly more overhead for events such as the WWC (for the weekly point count, they should record the score on each server not at the same time but exactly x h after the WWC started in that server), but it should not be too complicated.
Edit: rewards need to be improved. Why on earth are the lobster cages still there? What about useless crew and boats? However they are still better than the current ones for the CHWE (which I assume are sill the same than in previous run since, if I understood correctly, an update is needed to change the rewards; otherwise the rewards are the same. The dynamic boot is to be able to select new rewards randomly when told so during an update, otherwise the previous run rewards are the ones in the next one).
I have not had shellfish since this event began. Although I fished out my shellfish previously, I did not have enough oysters to get to 10. My boats were sparkled. After the oysters, I twice I got clams (which I had none), and now shrimp. What part of YOU DID NOT MAKE THE SHELLFISH AVAILABLE does GGS not understand? So, I try to skip it for gold, hoping it will get better, and suddenly the cost to skip is over 2000 gold for the next skip. Is this a game or is it a torture chamber? I know my opinion today!
GGS, my response to this is anger! I hate being cheated. The very unfairness of this particular event is rank and it stinks. Now, my silo is still. I refuse to spend so much gold - you have not pleased me enough to get me to spend gold on you and you have already cheated me out of a lot when I was trying to get ahead on this event.
Therefore, I feel I have already spent too much gold on this event, which I now know is a thief. I did not have fun. I am angry and I refuse to play the FHWE anymore today. Way to go, GGS - another happy customer (NOT).
Don't mind the crew, either. Even if they are for boats I no longer have, they do work on the ones I do, although not as well. A lot of players refuse to buy equipment, and the event is a good way to get those items.
But, please, for the love of all things holy, get rid of the fish pellets. Not only are they worthless, we have to spend time dumping them if we are to make more for missions.
And, yes, dismantling boats can become problematic. They need to give us choices in some cases, just like the cat charms.
One man's trash, eh?
I think the hIgher levels of the FHWE has become a gold sink. The only way to do it and be top 1- 50, would be to either get enough fish to reach #1-50, or to skip them with gold. Skipping becomes really expensive the more times you do it. (In fact, it is so expensive after you do it a few times it actually shocked me today and I only skipped a few fish.)
Here is what I think is now happening for higher level players to be competitive: Players put in the fish and it reaches the +1, but they can't let it run long or run out since it takes too much time (except for cod, salmon, and swordfish), so it must be skipped (for ever increasing gold amounts) and then, the new fish can be added until it reaches +1.
But the crazed gold spending must continue, because the harried player must get boats back quickly filled with the next fish (again using gold since they are in a hurry). Not only that, but those other pools must be fished out and the boats brought back quickly so the right pools appear.
This is crazy! The gold expenditure must be horrific! Shame on you, GGS to prey so blatantly on a player's need to be first. They will never make any prize equal to what they are spending.
Furthermore, I happen to like many of the top players who seem to be stuck on this treadmill from H-LL. I hope they can put this into perspective! No game is worth going through this. Players, you are valued and worthy of good things. No one should ever horribly use you!
Wayyyyy back when, it was possible to finish each and every event without using gold. Difficult, maybe. Challenging, maybe, but possible.
This event simply isn't possible to finish without using gold -- even if it's just a little bit. It really needs to be rebalanced so that non-gold users have a chance.
The beauty of the event in its original form was that even the lower players had a decent chance of finishing. Prizes were better, too. One or two events should be kept as they were to allow all players, regardless of level and gold usage, to have a sense of accomplishment. It's what keeps people playing, and it's what can turn non-gold users into gold buyers.
Edited after several have posted that they have finished it without using gold. Still,, I wonder what the overall percentage of people who use no gold is.
