Conquer Club

After so much build up of "the big one" and everyone seemingly wanting a nice update, and getting a handy dandy pay to play tournament instead Ive decided to make this handy poll to see how disappointed fellow CC'ers are.

The most interesting part of the update to me is that you will supposedly eventually be able to use this for new auto tournaments later on...(well see)

Cheers,

Yaaa!!! Kittens are winning!

I don't see the option for "I already have a Big one".

Kittens!

Why can't we just start playing for cash instead?

Biased poll much? If you're going to try and make a poll to gauge public opinion at least try and make it seem balanced.

Based on the few threads i've seen, there was no real need to judge how happy people are with the update.
So there are a few levels of disappointment, one to state you're satisfied, and other assorted.

Realistically, only 8% (so far) have even stated a level of satisfaction, and so adding extra options to disect the 8% even further just seems overkill.

Feel free to make your own poll

Is the update that damn Conquer Cup button I freaking click when I'm reaching for the Game Finder?

Strange because Game Finder tab haven't moved at all.

I don't find this annoying... nor do truly I object to this shameless attempt to make money.

However, like a few others here, I'm a little bit peeved that such a big deal is being made of this event, as if its purpose is actually to improve the experience of the users. It's just a marketing ploy, and obviously Lack + company have to do what they do, PR-wise... but that doesn't mean it won't piss off those of us who were anxiously waiting for something innovative.

I don't love the way this was handled, but it would all be well and good if we were getting some real gameplay changes.

Perhaps you should poll the 625 participants of Conquer Cup 1. It filled rather quickly! I'm guessing it's a hit. I'm also guessing most of them won't make their way over here to this post to vote. It will be a skewed result no matter...

Well, seems your pretty wrong.. Only 42% so far voted for an option where they show that they are disappointed.
The only reason why the forums are so negative is because there are 10 to 20 whiners here on the CC forums that only find satisfaction in criticizing lack/CC.

That's just not true. I also enjoy criticizing josko.

I love tournaments, so a big official one like this makes me happy.

The "PR" (i.e. Bruce's thread) wasn't something intentionally done by the administration; it was a staff choice, so please don't hold it against Lack.

At any rate, I am excited for automated tournaments -- although I'm sure the TOs are much more excited.

Question... will TOs still be getting medals since they will have to do almost no work to run a tournament?

Organizers won't be getting the ability to put players in games automatically.

If TO's can't put players in automatically, then what's the big deal about automated tourneys?

I don't know the specifics of how this will be implemented, but whatever it is will definitely improve how tournaments are run.

The cup was twice that size when they first opened the tournament

True, but I suspect it would have filled with the original size.

Agreed, this would be one of the better of the last 5 updates if not for the fact that it was hyped as if it would be the best thing to ever grace the forms of CC.

as one of the participants...i am extremely disappointed in this update, due to the GD thread created. Not to mention the fact that it was changed halfway through and i would have rathered it be 6 players like i signed up for.

You know what? I agree with that; the tournament itself isn't anything special, but the update (automated tournaments) is great. It's just a shame that the tournament has gotten much more hype; I'm sure we'd all be more appreciative if the update was the sole factor here.

I saw this earlier in the other thread... it's ridiculous. Changing the total number of contestants is one thing, but changing the gameplay itself is another matter entirely. You can't just change a tourney of this magnitude from 6-player games to 5-player games after people have already signed up for it. Was there any way for people to back out, after the change?

Oh, and by the way: 6-player esc is WAY better than 5-player esc.
