@AlyssaGB Can you let us know what you have done with the critisism which was posted in this thread the previous 2 times the Legends Event was launched? I hope you have informed Gamebasics about this.

I have the idea that Gamebasics really doesn't know that this event screws leagues up. I have one beginner in my 2nd division league during the previous Legends event who bought 3 legends with many BC because he liked those players. The normal quality of the players in that league was around 60-65 at that moment and the league was decided when he bought 3 legends with BC. The league was screwed up since that moment (around April 19) and the league stills runs until the end of this month.

Please do something to avoid the legends event in the future! I have seen some nice suggestions by @KERBLAW164 3 days ago in this topic (super training surprise and putting 6 players on the transfer list at the same time).

I am really considering leaving OSM when this event occurs again, because I feel GameBasics doesn't listen to the active managers on the forum.

I think this is trolling at this point, won't be surprised if by tomorrow "Black Thursday" occurs, if another of these events goes on again then you've just lost a client of this game

@AlyssaGB are the legend cards even better than the regular cards?

[TheBestManagerNL]

@Siempre-Zizou no they are not

@AlyssaGB Who cares

This weekend's event: Extreme Progression!

This Friday it's time to get your players to the training ground! Extreme progression with every Training & Friendly!

@AlyssaGB Finally something good in OSM in the last few days

@HarryPoon_NL can you give us the opinion of Gamebasics about the Legends promotion in this thread? I read a lot of negative response from users here, has this critisism reached Gamebasics and will you remove the Legends event for the future?

This Legends event screws smaller leagues (less common countries and lower divisions of popular countries) up because newbies buy a few legends with a lot of BC and win the league easily.

@BosnianGooner said in Promotions/Campaigns:

@AlyssaGB Not strictly related to the campaign, but I have a question. What would my players' progression be like if I put them to training at, say, 8 AM CEST? Would it be "extreme" progression, or regular?

Progression is 'decided' when you complete training, not when you start it.

I think this should be looked at - for instance, several times I’ve set players in training before bed, with 9/10 hours left of the promotion, and then for one reason or another (looking after small child), forget to take the players out in time, and lose the extra training. Especially annoying if it’s the older player bonus as then you basically waste an entire training session. This could be very easily implemented by the devs I’m sure - I can understand putting players in for training with less than 8 hours of the promotion left should not result in the bonus, but if players have started and finished within the time limit (but not been claimed) then the bonus should be awarded. That is only fair I think.

@Sean-Doherty Dude... I've been playing this game for years, and I never complained about it. If you play, you have to make time for it. Many times what you say happened to me, however I never complained about this, because when these events are launched they say from what day to what day the event will last. Conclusion, it's not the game's fault.

@gonzalo-mendia

Good for you. I’m still complaining about it

Extra event: Bargain Scout
Starts: May 19, 10 AM CEST | Ends: May 20, 10 AM CEST

24h event is coming your way! The Scout will go on a Bargain hunt!

[albi peluria]

@MemphisNL said in Promotions/Campaigns:

@AlyssaGB .........does this event also affect the scout's returning time?

I'd be glad to know it too. So I (we) could plan promptly if/when sending scout today (or to don't do it).
10x in advance for a quick feed back

[SpecialOne]

Bargain refers only to money! If it included included time, we would have included speedy or any other adjective that would imply faster scout.

This was also the reason why we announced the event today, so users can send scout today and take the advantage of scout tomorrow, otherwise, if users only knew about the event tomorrow, the time to take advantage of it would be way too short, because scout takes 16h to return with a player!

Finally, GB begins to do good things.
Congratulations ! Keep it up

[AlyssaGB]

Hi @MemphisNL, during this temporay event the Scout is on a bargain hunt. This means that you can buy players for less Club Funds. Send your Scout on a trip and he'll be back with the best bargains in 16 hours! And there's more: players from your Scout now only cost 10 Boss Coins instead of 15 Boss Coins! Pay the Scout a visit right now and bolster your Squad in all the right places!

[ultra viola]

@AlyssaGB still 15 coins costed me, not 10
