Camp Gonnagetcha War 2019

Discussion in 'Adventure Quest 3D' started by Ylber, Aug 29, 2019.

  1. I think they should have done the Battleon Siege for last week instead of two weeks ago since the siege war disrupted farming in Camp Gonnagetcha and made it hard to recover after the siege war was done. When I was still farming there during the siege, even after the siege war, a lot of players seem put off by farming that they didn't want to do Camp Gonnagetcha anymore unless there were people there. It was definitely poor timing on the release scheduling, and had the Siege been later in December instead of right after Frostvale won the Camp Gonnagetcha war, things could have gone smoother.

    It's not the first time AE's had a poor schedule for releases. I still think the month of September in 2018 had a poor schedule of releases.

    Bad scheduling was present and it definitely wasn't the Frostval present we wanted. Let's hope AE will have better scheduling next time when there are two events like these happening at the same time.
     
  3. Next Friday the 13th is in March 13th, but I wouldn't be surprised if that event gets overshadowed by some Legion release. Hopefully not another war though... having two war events in one month is already overkill.

    Ouch... this looks like we can only pray that things go well then.
     
  5. I can already sense some disappointment for the next Camp Gonnagetcha war outside of bad scheduling considering just how predictable the war would be. The prediction among the consensus of players is that it'll be Legion (Dage) vs. Nation (Nulgath) with Legion pretty much sweeping the war, and I expect players to feel disappointed if the reward is just another blue flag. If they stick with Legion vs. Nation, they could do a black flag with blue highlights as to not upset players disappointed in having two blue flags for 2019.

    Also just the fact that the winner is predetermined before the war even began is daunting enough. Would be nice to see an actual surprise instead of something that's quite predictable and likely to favor one side though (instead of the factions themselves (Legion vs. Nation) being the center of the war, maybe have mascots like a Legion Horse vs. a Nation Bull). Having mascots is a lot more interesting, and it was really the thing that December's Friday the 13th lacked... could have been Snowman vs. Undead, but the war had to be centered around the actual holidays instead.

    A war between Legion and Nation would definitely be in the favor of Legion. There are players who influence these cabin wars and that influence was pretty clear during the Frostval vs Mogloween war. It would be cool if we did have actual mascots for these camp wars because we don't really have those besides during the second cabin war if you count that one.
     
  7. I'd say the previous Friday the 13th had actual mascots, or felt closer to actual mascots. Drickens and Frogzards felt like mascots of their own. Wolves and Spiders, Twilly and Zorbak (sort of), and Pirates and Ninjas (sort of) felt like mascots. They all felt like an actual representation of something rather than an idea floating around. Mogloween and Frostval felt like an idea that was just floating around.

    Mogloween vs. Frostval felt like terrible war factions to begin with, even without talking about their "mascot representation" that they lacked. The flags for the most part were mediocre... the axe "tree trunk" made no sense for the Frostval flag and the Mogloween flag hardly represented Mogloween at all (why not orange and black instead of red and black? why the pirate look, especially since there was already a pirate flag won back in September?). It just felt like the ideas didn't mesh well together, like AE didn't have any real preparation for Friday the 13th at the end of 2019. The Mogloween part didn't make any sense at all since it was already December. Felt like Mogloween's real chance of winning was that people wanted an edgy-looking flag (especially since there's already an abundance of red and black items), even if the flag itself didn't represent Mogloween at all, and because there was already a blue (more like teal color, or blue-green) flag last time.

    But I'm glad Frostval won, because there really was no reason for a Mogloween faction in the first place. Frostval was pretty much determined to win since it had the slight lead since the beginning of the war. What really drove Mogloween to continue all the way to 99% seemed mostly like flag preference.

    They way AE handles the flags, if anything, they could do more with them. Remember when we had that flag we got that was animated? More of those would be nice to have. Just retexturing them is pretty lazy.
     
  9. I don't mind retextured flags, if the concept behind the logo and the design stood out. Like why would I want to celebrate a tree or a pumpkin as the winner of a war? I really don't expect any crazy animation, and they could always just apply the same animation to every single flag anyway and it'll still be a "reuse" of something. They're not going to replace flags with unique items every Friday the 13th, because the team has a limited scope to consider, and they really don't want to create something new just to mark it as a rare item that maybe only around 5,000 players will ever own.

    Why would AE replace those flags with something else? The whole camp war is centered around getting a cabin flag and replacing that would be a strange decision to make. They really have no reason to because the concept itself already works and changing it feels out of place.
    It would make sense for them to at least apply that animation to every cabin flag because after that it's just time to retexture it with the mascot of a new cabin team when a new cabin war comes around. I am fine with them reusing assets in this case, but they could at least have that flag animation applied next time when they make new cabin flags.

    What I liked about the Mogloween Flag is that its black pumpkin-skull logo looked detailed and contrasted nicely with the red colour. Whilst the pumpkin and skull relates to the theme, the crossed swords doesn’t scream Mogloween; it makes the logo look more pirate-y. I would’ve preferred the pumpkin logo to have a jack-o’-lantern face in place of the skull, crossed swords replaced with vines, and flag colour to be purple instead of red (orange is also a good idea. never thought of it tho).
     
  12. They can also retroactively apply animations to flags that didn't have animations in the first place. They probably just forgot for the new flags, or used an older revision of the cabin flags with realizing that they lack their subtle animation. Happens from time to time for other items, and usually people just remind AE when they're concerned over that sort of stuff.

    Vine probably would've been better than crossed swords as it would have clarified the flag's representation, instead of looking like a pirate flag. I think just a Jack-o-lantern (without the swords) and a Tree (without the axe) would've been fine enough. There really wasn't necessity to add more things to the flag, especially weapons. Am I to believe that Jack-o-lanterns fight with swords and trees fight with axes, or maybe people cut Jack-o-lanterns with swords and cut trees with axes? I think the inclusion of the weapons was confusing enough.

    Yes! It would be nice all flags to have that animation and revise them, but I really don't think AE cares enough to do that to be frank.

    My assumption was that the artist came up with the idea to place weapons onto the flags just to make the design less boring. Even so, I don't mind the generic dual-bladed axe on the Frostval Flag, although it would have been nifty if the axe's outline was the Frostlorn Barbarian Axe.
