Make Up Day for Events
in Suggestions
So I've been thinking with many events that are on-going like the current one where you have to do a different task each day and at the end if you've completed each task you get an 'Overall' reward, that there should be something which i'm deeming a 'Make Up Day'
A Make-Up day would be an extra day at the end of an event (even better if it's on a weekend too!) in which players can use to complete a part of the event they might have missed be it because they were out of town and un-able to log in and play one of those days, or due to trusting the tracker too much, OR due to an event being announced too late and missing the first day of event, OR in say the case of the Halloween Hunt a clue/info for a specific day not being revealed until far far too late.
Ideally a player would only be able to choose one event day to 'Make-Up' however, i'm not certain how that'd be accomplished exactly. The alternatives are A) they can play and 'Make-Up' any part of the previous days of the event but at a penalty of some sort. or B)Say if you have 7 days of events and completing all 7 gets you the 'final' reward...add an 8th day to the event and have it so that by completing 7 of the 8 you'll get the final reward and doing all 8 just gets you a bit extra.
I think SOMETHING along these lines are needed because like said, sometimes it's hard to make so many consecutive days of an event especially if you have to work or have other things going on. And also the tracker issues which have costed so many people so many events...and quite honestly tracker issues are an issue that's on you guys and not the players. There's no reason trackers should have as many issues as they've been having and it'd go a long way in improving moral and trust within the player base if they worked properly or there was a 'Make-Up' day on events.

A makeup opportunity is interesting indeed. However sometimes it is not possible for automatic distribution for example, as we do set the rules of let's say play xx number of this mode on this day. Not impossible, but will be very hard to check, cause in your example we will have to check if you finished all requirements previously except one, and then you have to play this one.
But as I said, in general a makeup day is an interesting idea and we will see what we can do about it if its possible. -

If we do have a make-up day, it would be nice if we could choose one of the past event/task that we missed. Or would it only be available to the latest event? -

My thoughts would be it would be for future events to avoid issues and let downs.
And @ Grumpy. yea i figured it'd probably be a hard thing to implement well...but if there's any chance I think it'd be a good thing to add. -

Yeah see this is where it gets a little bit complex, and this is why I am saying its not very easy to implement right away, yet we will try to see if there is a way or another around it. -

If it does get implemented in the future, I call shotgun on the Back2School event from 2014, the day we had to play The Hill SnD. -
