A new event

So recently Sam and the rest of the event moderators have decided to add a completely 50/50 luck based event to the list of official events. I don't really know what to say about that which is why I've created this thread in the debates section. We already have an 'official' event called impossible T/F which is another luck based event. I don't speak for the entire community but I'm pretty sure people don't come to events to have to roll a 50 50 dice for a pity chance to win an event point.
for some background info; the event is hosted in a map where you have to choose between true and false, if the nade thrown by the host would kill someone (it being an admin nade) or simply a training grenade which does 0 damage. if you guessed wrong you get killed until there is 1 player remaining.
I asked the event team why add a luck based event as it involves no skill, they replied saying that its the only event people without skill can win. I don't think that in a server or even a game where skill is 99% of the game needs things to compensate for those without the basic skill of running from the host or choosing a spot to hide.
this is a debate, posting things like 'stop crying about it, dont you have like 3k coins' would be reported so stay on topic please.

Alot of people (including me) suck at events, I'd like to see some more luck-based events.

We already have a load of luck-based events. Even the ones who can be seen as skill-based(LMS, the Stalker, Rocketman) are becoming luck-based because fk2hiders. In my opinion we need more skill-based events.

I don't mind luck-based events. But seriously "Guess the nade"? no where near unique idea.

Smh why do you even care about that 1 event
We got 24 other events(didnt count) which arent based on luck
Life isn't fair sometimes
And oh btw dont think that this poll can change anything
If u dont like it dont play it
Easy

There's no limit to the amount of events we can host... If someone comes up with a good enough idea it'll most likely be done. IMO It's a good thing to incorporate luck into the events, it makes it more fair for all players. It's not like you won't be able to still get +5 whenever someone hosts race when you're on bunny.

again, this isnt about events like race where there are the same winners, you can make a thread or add a new rule if you want, its up to the event team (you). as surfen said there are plenty of events on the event list that can be hosted, in my opinion events based on luck are practically unfair because you can be the most skilled man on earth and still die on the first turn.

In events like race when i used to win all the rounds. The host used to make rules like mex you can only win twice.

You guys can try that.

I see where you're going, but it's just the way it is, you don't have to have everything go your way. If other people like this event it gets hosted. Everyone has to have it their way from time to time.

No please y let random , random event be official.

I always thought that event team members get picked by looking at what they can contribue of time and the unique ideas they post on their application, but guess the nade? LOL this one trash event i just heard of in a long time

So If you don't like an event you and make a thread about it?!

bunny they're not hosting just to satisfy u.. give chances to others and STOP complaining in every single event :)

last ET that cared about this was Michi , I saw him trying out ideas.
I think they should work on more suggested/app ideas rather having some shitty ass event (by phoeri)

Yall need some RNGjesus.

Impossible T/F isn't 50/50, 7/10 people on FGunZ can't speak English properly, so it's more like.. 10/100?

its either you go false or true, so the questions dont really matter anyways
maybe 51/49 but yeah :o.o

I think Jeff wants to add birds to CQ. Maybe turn it into some crazy Duck Hunt event...but they drop bombs on you... so would that be skill based or luck based??? hmm...

yes add it

This isn't far off from my thread about taking away 1-Hit Nades. You claim if you're not skilled enough to dodge it, it's your problem, but if someone throws that nade 2 seconds earlier, u won't hear it when u hit the corner and blow up. You probably don't play tdm much to realize what an issue it is though.

If dodging a 1-Hit nade without hearing it takes skill, then I suppose this event takes skill as well lol.

Anyways, I support the luck-based games even for a game that requires 99% skill. Some people can't win when others are near flawless at events like race, etc. Yet they still deserve a chance to win an event point so that they may get something from the event shop.

Lastly, a person who wins +1 point from a luck-based game isn't really going to edge you out from the weekly tournaments (if that's whats this whole issue is about). So I say let them have that +1 point; not like these events come often...

I agree we players are complete trash at events for example race . I'm a slow as a ****in turtle and we need more events so I can actually win 1 ep of my life

Do you live for events? If you don't like that specific event then wait for next event.

Just because you don't find this to be a funny event doesn't mean everyone else does either. And that's what it's all about, to have fun. I'm sure there is some excitment behind this since it is luck based and everyone got a chance to win.

I might be wrong here but I thought the host would firstly say what he/she is holding right now, then switch the nades in a visible manner and THEN let the player choose?
If so, it's not luck at all? You'd just have to count right?

I might be wrong here but when the event was suggested this is what they stated it would be?

No the host doesn't show what nade he starts off with and doesn't show the switch to us. So it's mainly luck.

But when the idea was suggested this was the idea right? The one I am stating right now

I don't know, I don't play events anyway so I couldn't care less about them but I still like to read what ideas get suggested (who knows maybe there will be one I enjoy)
When I read the idea of this event I was sure the idea would be to make the player count the amount of switches and then decide whether he or she wanted to go for the nade or not.

Well if so, it's a good event idea (IMO) when hosted properly. The thing is though it would be very easy to guess, cause besides of already having a 50/50 chance u can up it by counting.. making the event take a very, very long time, I assume.

If the event is done properly it would be alot fun. Also the staff can quickly switch so it looks like the host only switched once.

Yeah... but from what I recall they wanted to do it one by one and visible to the eye, that's too long/easy anyway.

If they do it in groups of 4/5 people and a little quick it'll be over in a matter of minutes.

A event is not supposed to be done in a rush. The host must have enough time to host and spent time to host.
