Thor Game: Slow spin, electricity around the wheel, oooohh, the excitement, what is happening here ????

Fuck all Jon, still lands on lose.

I am on my knees that they do not use this for the Battle Weekend

 

[Chipkin9]

Now I remember when three dollar signs would land instead of two.

Pumped ?

 

[Krrk]

15 minutes and yet to get into first Pimped game of the hour.

 

[Chipkin9]

That tonight's gonna be a long night.

 

[Itaghai]

Just imagine...
Journey of Chaos and Thor Goes Wild.
You can't get better than that ?

Christ on a bike, Jono would be in jail for assaulting one of his neighbours, he'd end up descending into chaos

 

[Itaghai]

30 mins in the 2nd hour and I was able to have 2 Pimped battles...
Still waiting for the 3rd for over 5 mins...

At this point they should just remove the 10 man battles and pick some decent games for the 30 man

I'm certain that these bad slots won't have a single queue...

It's a shame that the best of the worst has picked on the prime time.

Think that would be the final nail in the coffin where I said bye, bye XP, bye bye online slotting.

Go back to having a £5'er on the footy at weekends that's it.

Dead or Alive and Wild West Duels would be much better

Oh FFS.

Lucky McGee's SuperShite?

Ok I think VS genuinely despise their players and want them to go insane.

 

[Damo]

well this is shocking.. 43 mins in and ive managed 2 goes on pimped

 

[Itaghai]

well this is shocking.. 43 mins in and ive managed 2 goes on pimped

I just registered for the 4th one... probably it will be the last one since it might start around the mark of 50 mins in so there won't be time for another one.

 

[Jono777]

Shockingly bad

I recall when I used to get excited at the mention of a Frenzy or a medlee, the words are meaningless now and it is more like pointless self torture.

Also "Employee of the month" award goes confidently to whoever chose these games tonight, beyond awful.

So sorrrrrrryy.

Four 10 mans in an hour (maybe), this is not normal.

 

[Jono777]

Four 10 mans in an hour (maybe), this is not normal.

Sadly looking like the "new normal"

Seriously even if the games are 50/50 selection wise and the queues are a couple of minutes, I would not make whiny posts but this "event" warrants all the moaning I can muster.

 

[Chipkin9]

I dunno, my wife seems to think it is.

 

[Damo]

The moaning only makes us all feel better about all being in the same boat.. nobody as VS is remotely interested otherwise something would have been done about it by now!

My last pimped battle just started, it just took a couple of minutes in the queue... times 4.5 times ?

 

[Krrk]

Waiting for third Pimped, so exciting.
Fucking disgusting.

 

[spoo42]

Ive noticed an odd thing tonight (well, i think lol), that i havent seen before with the queues. 10 mans always crazy big.. 30 mans big ish to start with but then speed up.. but tonight i keep joining a 30 man and getting a 600-700 queue position.. but then the battle starts a couple seconds later. Just found that a little odd.

 

[Jono777]

Wait was finally over and I score 45p position 10, lmao!

Honestly, this thread is waaaay more entertaining; which I don't really mind.

And yea, they obviously don't care and are more interested in penny pinching from freerolls.

 

[Krrk]

4th and 4 non spinners still sitting in.

 

[Jono777]

Bet they have some sort of "Tally Chart" in the VS office and take bets on who makes the most moaning posts.

Laughing their heads off as we sit being politely, totally ignored

They always have you as 1/10 favourite

 

[Itaghai]

Looks like they increased the 10 man spawn rate but decreased the 30 man when one of the best slots came up...

 

[Jono777]

I'm on a roll tonight, next on my moaning agenda....

Took like what seemed forever to finish Cash of Command Battle, with micro wins galore everywhere only to finish.....4th

I'm going to need to borrow someone's binoculars for the next CoC battle, so in about 15 minutes please

I'm not even getting close to the winning places.
So far I just had 5 rewards, 3 from sugar rush, 0 from book of dead, 1 from pimped, and 1 from thor

Strange, because I've been waiting for 10 minutes now to get into a Cash of Command battle

Yeah, right now it looks "normal" again

Last spin bonus ends battle before bonus plays out.
Not sure if points are still added on the final calculation for the prizes, this is so exciting.
Stay tuned, or dont.

Very similar here which only adds to the frustration.

 

[Chipkin9]

VS Headquarters.

Bob: Hey Jerry.

Jerry: Yes Bob?

Bob: What is the ratio of games played between 10 man & 30 man battles?

Jerry: Roughly every 7 10 man battles, there are 3 30 man battles; why bob?

Bob: How about we implement a "Queueing" system where we reverse that and have the players get 3 10 man battles for every 7 30 man battles....so they get a huge reduction in rewards?

Jerry: You're a sick bastard Bob, I'm in!

 

[Jono777]

An early earlier night with Raoul Moat has never looked so appealing

Maybe if things have changed.

I remember getting the bonus on Buffalo King with 5 minutes of the battle to go and the whole bonus round took about 10 minutes to complete because it kept retriggering to over 100 freespins. Would have came first and the points didn't total, I also believe it was a buy in tourney

Hello Kroffe,
Your final score for your last played 30-man battle is higher than what you see in the screenshot, so the last spins did seem to count.

Kind regards.
Team Videoslots.

It did add the points, possibly even before the battle was over because it is displaying the correct score on the leaderboard.

Any words on the queues, @Team.Videoslots ?

 

[Jono777]

Yes: they're very long ones

There are many people asking that question right now, we will answer you as quickly as we can.

Hello Krrk and Jono777,

Only a limited number of battles can be active an any one point, to preserve site stability and prevent system performance from degrading during the battle events.
The 10-man battles are normally much more popular than the 30-mans, leading to longer queues for those to start.

Kind regards.
Team Videoslots.

 

[anddi32]

So there is no need to even try to solve the problem? Why not 2 x 30 man? It has been a solution before.

Queues are some 5-10 mins. That's not any "small delay". These queues destroy the whole point of the format if players can play maybe half of the tournaments that can be played without queues

So in essence I was right all along when I said they were simulated queueing scripts.

Obviously I also knew it was for site stability, but surely there has to be a better alternative.

How about ditching the 10 mans altogether and run two 30's?

That would keep the site stable, as there is always sitters on the 30 man ones and they typically always go the full distance.

 

[09237653]

one reward in two hours *yay* same amount of battles as the previous hour, four 10 mans and six 30 mans.

 

[Itaghai]

IMO since they lowered the xp requirement, the overflow in players are more than enough to run instead 30 man and 90 man, it would keep the battles running more smoothly

Hello Anddi32,

We're always looking into way to improve player experience with these events, and have tried running 2x30 slots in the past, to mixed feedback from the community.

The battle structure are still subject to change, as you may have noticed with the changes to the structures recently, and we appreciate the feedback you give on the forums.

Kind regards.
Team Videoslots.

Got 3 Pimped and 3 Cash of Command played in the hour they were active.
Remove 10 man battles altogether, please.

Ok then what about exchanging the 10 man battles for 20 man battles in the future, that would still be sufficient enough to keep the site stable as you'd get most playing out the full 10 minutes but a handful being completed early.

Prize Structure:

1-2: 6 spins
3-4: 5 spins
5-6: 4 spins

Just a thought, and you could retain the 30 man battles.

I don't understand how there was mixed feedback with the players suggesting two 30 man battles the way things are now.

I'd prefer to get 12 battles done an hour than the 8 I am lucky to get with the way things are now.

 

[Itaghai]

I guess the mixed feedbak might be sorted now, pretty sure people now rather to wait 10 minutes for the non spinners and be able to join another battle than wait 10 minutes for the non spinners and another 8 minutes to join a new battle

 

[Jono777]

Combine everything

Merge the 10 and 30 into a 40 man battle, add the 15+45 prizes and pay 60 FS per battle, add the placings (3+9) and pay the top 12 places.

Oh and make them 8 minutes
