It's not that I disagree with you in general, but if they gave the rewards anyway, what's the incentive to take part at all.
What im trying to say is that they shouldnt do things like this, we shouldnt have to do work for them to release event contents.
For things that we dont see often i can understand, for example double exp event, double rp events.
But they should not put contents like Raspen's Marvelous Game behind gates like that, this is an event they should bring out regardless, if they are doing this now who is to say they wont keep doing this with other events?

I can sort of understand them doing stuff like this, and aren't wholly against it if they have other events without such a requirement. But I too don't really like social media events like this, it seems kind of low imo. Still I reckon at some point we'll see the event actually return, just not now if we don't meet the goal.

I don't know.
Maybe they get advertising revenue when they hit a certain number of followers? So, if the player-base makes an effort to help them achieve that, we get a reward of an event which benefits our characters. I'd certainly like some more Pocket Pets. The Reduced Threat buff is pretty useless, but most of the others are worth having, whether in PvE or PvP.
And, don't forget, it's a free event that gives bonus prizes and things you cannot normally get any other way, just for participating; although you have to pretty much spam it all weekend to really benefit.
But, if it is true that they get income when they get more followers, as an Olde Fogey, I would greatly prefer it if Akro just said so.
"Hey, guys! Help us reach this target and we'll get a larger income stream from advertising, so we can plough extra resources into the development of the game! We'll give you a reprise of this nice event, and all you will have to do is get an ad blocker when we reach the target! We get their money, you get NONE of the inconvenience!"
I'd appreciate the honesty and candour of that and might even sign up. Even though I truly despise all that Twotter stuff anyway.
I rarely do deals on the ah since that just ends up devaluing the product. Pocket pets have gone from 700k-1m to 400-500k atm so I'll probably be selfish and keep an eye on the target limit and semi hope that it fails though I could probably make more in the long term if they repeated it I guess. If you're quick enough you can get the one for 420k when the next lowest is 490k. I sort of hope to reach 100m some time, though unsure if I'll make it. I probably could've easier if I didn't invest in gond mounts when they were 3m and reached 1.5-2m. They were getting bought at that amount and it's sometimes hard to predict what they'll go to, unfortunately time after the event the dropped :c. There's also a load of things that I could spend my AD on which would slow the progress :c. I might be a little more generous if I make it there.
tl;dr When it comes to sell them, probably not much less than the lowest one.
Yes, I've been meaning to re-spec the Feats on my TR MI for over a week, to try and get her to Perma-Stelth before it's nerfed. But I kept buying stuff for Professions. Now, I need Marks of Potency, as I have about 7 Rank 6 Enchants and Runes to upgrade to 7, so I am buying those from WB. I don't buy AH stuff at 1 AD less than an AD Sink. It needs to be a few hundred cheaper, or I'd prefer to pour my AD down the sink. My little contribution to preserving the economy. :rolleyes: And WHO would buy Greater Marks for 110k AD, when the Bazaar has then for 100k?
100 million AD? I have never had more than 10 million, and that was after opening 100 Lock Boxes and selling almost everything at the AH. I bought a Greater Plague Fire and a Greater Barkshield for my AC. Could not afford a Perfect Vorpal for my DO.
Anyway, back On Topic!
I REALLY hope this event comes back, as it WAS quite fun when it did not bug out, and I WOULD like some more Pockets Pets. Not to sell them, but because I want to use them. Out of my 12 level 60s, I "Main" an AC, a DO, an MI, a WK, an HR and a GWF.
That is VERY costly on resources, AD and everything else.

Yeah never tried true perma stealth myself, still i may prefer the new tr in pvp anyway. Not that I really play my tr nor like pvp. Wish I had a 2nd vorpal though...

Being able to get a load of coal wards and use them when they were ~100k helped a lot, a lot of farming was used to acquire those (upto 15 CN runs a day at one point!). To do it all over again would be almost impossible to me. I managed to have about 20m from the gond event and due to the backlog I made another 25m from selling doohickeys. I basically lucked out. I also invested that into gond mounts but if I invested in them later I would've approached my target easier. I've also made another 10m since then that is partly reinvested. with maybe another 10m of stuff I've had invested for a long time. Not everything worked out though. I have 50 juggling emotes that crashed too... A lot of time and opportunities helped me get so far that I wouldn't be able to redo.
With the amount required for new gear is creeping up I'm not sure if I'll ever make the target though. It's tempting to have a legendary main hand for my cw main for the chill stacks, I'd rather keep the others cost effective though at ~epic. though. I'm fairly conservative in general about spending stuff that isn't necessary although I had to get legendary artifacts on my cw and rank 9s for 2xrp to make the most out of the event.
I have to say I feel very by this.
They won't do event unless we achieve their marketing goal? wth is that? blackmailing players for content? what is next? we wont release module 5 unless each player buys 100 keys?
This is total bs. If you want to include your players in stuff like this then do it like 'we give you event on x/y but if you players do this by x/z then we release extra rewards'. There is not that much content in this game and these events are a break for players (even if they are basically another grindfest). If you continue with this line it will backfire on you...
I think you're overreacting. Respen's is hardly important content and we got it for free before anyway. All it is is a chance to get it early. This coming from someone who dislikes a lot of things PWE/cryptic have done.
I'm sure they will. And it's not like we haven't had enough events to keep us busy anyway. Although I don't personally take part in most of them anymore. Still I doubt they'd personally hold respens hostage :P. I hope we get a 2nd change of the bazaar consumable though in future ):

Lol yes so they can set another highly unrealistic goal for the players to meet -.-
Although they've already had campaigns for most of the major social media sites. So really whats left now?

I think at the very worst we can expect it to return next april 1st with no goal required (provided the games still going of course). They could prove me wrong and gate that between another requirement, but I doubt they will. Especially when there's been quite a few failed requirements and people generally disliking it.
Then again people backlashed another company that gave away limited in number codes and that annoyed me considering it was still a good deed, albeit for either social media popularity or a better image rather than being charitable.
I guess it's all down to perspective. I've farmed the event, I'm in no rush for it to come again instantly. Though ones more passionate about it or couldn't make the most out of it will feel more stronger against missing out.

I was actually referring to your post about the consumable. NOT Repsens. Who cares honestly its a minor buff at best (the pocket pet).

Ah right, yeah there was an instagram goal that we didn't even come close to matching and so didn't get our consumable item. No idea if there's plans to bring it back of if it was going the be the poking stick (on preview?) that's coming out, but it was something I hoped we'd reach more than this one

Yes but they set such unrealistic goals, that they are rarely met. I think there has been 1 goal out of these things they do that was actually met - the facebook one I think not sure. I acutally think its quite sad that we cannot meet these goals even if we try. Maybe if they had a server MOTD that informed all players of it it might help, but as it is most players do no frequent the forums

Tbh I'd be kind of disappointed if I were them. 40k people isn't really a lot, facebook have over a third of a million likes for their page and even that isn't really that special considering how wide corporations get their word across. Their mod 4 trailer just needed 1k likes, and it seems like they take some effort to put together, although the last one was just a compilation of in game I would still assume it takes some work to do. It just seems like small targets for what I'd expect for a popular name. I think I saw in game even an announcement for respens for getting followers. Not sure what it is, maybe a lot of supporters felt pushed away or don't feel neverwinter is quite deserving of likes/followers. Although I don't really like 'likeme/follow me' contests, it does kind of feel like a shame.

Not really I manage fine without it. I used to use it but its mostly just spam about people playing those awful facebook games, trying to get me to play them so I can help them do stuff faster. I decided to just not bother with it anymore, and I cannot say I've missed it at all.

Dunno what the item was, but the requirement was for 10k instagram followers. They got a third of that...

Not unless you can find 3000 friends in the next 10 days. Its looking pretty grim at the moment.
