Okay, okay, wait a second here. Didn't you claim to have learned a lesson from the Halloween event, and yet you're doing the exact same thing of requiring people to participate 10 out of 14 days the event is available to get the skin? What gives?

 

This is absolutely ridiculous LO: you can't constantly be requiring people to be playing APB every day for every event you roll out. What's more, you're requiring this DURING CHRISTMAS where people are on vacation and trying to spend time with their families, and you're requiring them to take time off nearly every day, leave their families, and play APB. What if someone was away for Christmas, as I'm sure many people are, and can't play APB for 5 days during the event?

 

Have some Christmas spirit dude, let people get shit while, IDK, celebrating Christmas? Please tell me there's some mistake or I'm reading something wrong.

is there a part where it says you can only do 1 daily per day?

 

i was hoping they had learned their lesson and the dailies were unlimited (or at least 5 per day)

The activities work in both the event district and Beacon, so in 5 days you're done already.

I guess I just assumed dailies were once a day still, lol.

That's a step up at least. I still don't get why they'd do it this way, but it's not terrible per se. That reward list should be moved so that it's not under just Slay Bells section though, or this should be clarified, because the way I read it was a totally legitimate way to read it (if not the only technically correct way to read it.)

Sorry about that. I have edited the post for clarity. You can finish in 5 days total.

Hi all,

 

I've updated the post with all the rewards.

Slay Bells starts on December 19th through January 2nd.

Thanks,
Matt

I'll get to work on a steam guide.

 

Merry Christmas  Matt Scott and Matt's beard may you be extra merry this holiday season.

 

Ho-ho-ho..w long till we get AA skin account bound?

 

what's this?

 

mini complaint. (I'd be forever grateful if the play testers that took the screenshots could upload them in 1080p resolution if possible.)

 

The images here (sent from a mac laptop)

 

are quite low res. The main image

slay bells news post

 

My point is (I know they are small for optimization) but higher resolution screenshots at least would help, it's hard to read what's on here



 

the original 1920x1080's would be nice (unless these really were shot on a Macintosh)

That is on either of the Social Media (Twitter and Facebook) with #APBXMAS included in the message. You could probably just reply to their original posts about the contest (but do include the hashtag)

The Facebook post and the tweet about the contest are now linked in here as well

Yo are you on citadel? I would pay you atleast 50k+ for tattoo design. Not for this one ofc, I would ask you for individual orderS:)

Really? You guys are still using the failed daily thing for rewards? The tried and true grinding tiers works best for events and allows those with multi chars to get it done before the end of the event (not to mention those with busy scheds arent left out if they miss afew days)

You only need participate 5 of the 14 days to complete.

Some ppl can barely do 5. Work + school + sick mom (in my case) it takes up all your time. There are others out there who work 24/7 and couldnt get in the autumn event or the halloween to complete all the days. Having a required amount of logins just doesnt work for some, it gears towards the no lives not so much the everyday gamer.

It was a (dark) joke, my mom and two grandparents died of cancer and I totally get that having to take care of someone takes time and makes your schedule unpredictable.

 

On looking back, I hope I didn't upset you, I was siding with you.

this thread is getting a little too touchy feely y'all, lets wind it back a few notches

Focus on what's important  kinda sucks the event is structured like this (and only goes for 2 weeks+)

 

Going to 9 different funerals in 2 weeks really hits you hard with depression last thing I wanna do is play an event for 5 days fighting people that spam V (switch shoulder) looking like a crackhead trippin'.

 

 

I've been a bit distant with some people around me "trying not to get attached" just results in being cold trying not to be hurt when someone I see everyday isn't there anymore.

Why would you make the mistake of making it so that we have to do the daily events to get all the rewards? Some people just want to grind the event to get all the items on multiple characters. This means we have to log in and do daily activities on multiple characters, in 2 different districts, on 5 separate days. Having the roles just like all the previous years would just be way better imo.
