Events Problem

So here's the thing. You have 60 people in the event channel waiting to barge into a 32-person event. Since you type slow, you never get into any events because everyone else types the password faster than you do. This has been the problem with me and I'm not even that slow of a typer. I'm at 70 wpm and I've missed the last 7 events that I tried to enter. Quite frankly, I'm pissed.

So basically, there needs to start being 2 events at the same time so that all 60 people can participate. OR: make it possible to have a 64 person room (which would lag I'm assuming, so probably a bad idea). I'm not sure, maybe 64 people wouldn't be too bad, but something's got to change about this.

No way, if an event is available for 60 users it would take long as fck to be the winner

He means 60 players in event channel waiting to get into a 32 player event.

That's like 5-10 minutes for an average dodgeball round
And hard to oversee everything, spikers etc.

Like I said, 60 person event is probably a bad idea. There still isn't any reason why we can't have 2 simultaneous events.

There's quite literally almost 30 players that don't make it into the room. That's an entire group of people for another event easily, otherwise, that's 30 pissed off people.

I've seen them do 2 before, never seen three. I'm just trying to promote the idea that they shouldn't leave more than 10 people behind. I mean, I can understand if there's 40 people, and 8 don't make it... well.. tough shit.

But there were 59 people there today, so that's 25 that didn't make it. I'm sure glad they're looking to add 3 or 4 event team members.

We sometimes had 2 at a time when we had trial's going on '-'

They will only host 2 events at the same time when there are over 60 players. You probably saw 40 players. They will host one event if less players. They hosted 3 events yesterday and Miranda was hosting 1 event while Miach was hosting the other one.

I'm not "looking to get my chance." It's not like I even want event points, i just gift them away. I've just been denied the last 7 times I've tried, and it's only been recently that I've had this problem. Before yesterday, I've almost never missed it. I don't understand what's changed honestly...

Meh. Just now there were 59 (may have been 60+, I didn't check until about 10 seconds after a LOT of people failed to type fast and a some people probably already left. I've only seen multiple events when miranda is working events.

Sidenote: Why is Miranda so awesome? :D

I always host a second room if there are more than 50-60 people in the event channel. Miranda and I do that all the time. We can't do events with more than 32 people, the events would take way too long.

We always try have 2 rooms going during 1 event.
I know it can be frustrating trying to get into the events but we are trying our best to give everyone a fair shot at participating.
Unfortunately, the max players per room is set to 32.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Perhaps try to type faster?

I see where you are coming from but if they make 2 events then it is going to be TOO easy to get coins. Also, you can convert event points into coins which will be bad for this server. I think it is fine just the way it is right now, you should just learn to type faster :)

its rly not hard to get in a event. But u can't have large rooms because , especially, annoying people just ignoring the host and causing the event to run twice as long because of it. Also, the issue with lagg would annoy everyone and then they will just complain to the gm's or hosters because they can actually do something '-' (sarcasm)

I agree, yet disagree. Try clicking on the room when the event team puts a [notice] saying, "And the password is...." then prepare to type in the appropriate password, but i do understand your conflict and it is unfair to those who do not type as fast.

Not because you type slower; it depends on latency too. I have kind of high latency but I'm a fast typer so I get in. :c

Heres what I do, I press the room getting ready to type.

Right hand: Keep your middle finger on "L" Your Index Finger on "M"

Left Hand: Keep your Ring,Index,Middle Finger on ASD. In that order.

Reason to start keep your fingers on those keys is because you have your thumbs for support if they dont start off with any of those letter. From my experience, I've never had to type in an event password starting with any of the top keys except "O".

And if it does just quickly re adust, and also keep your pinky on "Enter" Incase its a short password and you dont have to do too much finger movement.

Thank you to both of you. I have seen this and I really appreciate it. I'm sure after the new event team members are selected, this will happen more consistently. :D

I've always done that. Hasn't helped lately.

As you can see from reading this thread, they actually do have 2 events at the same time sometimes, which is good. Gives everyone an opportunity.

This is useful information. I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you for your advice.

if i get EM, im making the password to my room "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

but honestly, i think we're exaggerating the difficulty of getting in, as long as u dont make a typo u generally get in?
