Automated Events?
 

i got into an event today and the server message that was sent had a clear and simple understanding of joining the queue, and there was no admin hosting in the event
can someone explain this?

bot events, will prolly cause a lot cheating jajajajjajajaa

cool

Saw about half a dozen of these go off. Every time hit the button and it told me "The event has already expired" or whatever. Ah well.

Prizes are hats?

unfortunately they are

Event is already clsoed, my dudes

got in, thats what happend https://youtu.be/Ol-EtHhxJiU
after the Event my hat disappeared, my friend just showed me proof that he got a new event hat out of that

Finally

thanks dusterz/fp8

Assuming this was a test, It would be nice for the event to be held, then 3 minutes after the automated event ended another one would be hosted and this would keep going.

so basically like how the iEra bot event system worked?

I guess.

I feel like that would be too often, thats a rare hat given every 3 minutes (if it goes on without stopping, you probably mean for it to, but thats still alot of hats.)

Oh, Valve finally added a drop party system. Sweet!

consider making a 100-hour minimum to get into automated queue events
I think it's pretty dumb that active players risk being shafted by the system so that randoms who may never even return to the game get in

what are they rewarding? a hat? a point for NGS would be cool tho. so we get more guilds like ET

Team Fort was such a nice event. I liked it a lot, too bad I've not seen it for sooo long. •.•

Where did this go?

There was one yesterday

I hope you guys are not butt-hurt about this. It's better to have a machine do something for a 12 y/o if know what I'm saying here.

I think a machine posted this comment.

I won one of those automated events yesterday and it was pretty decent in my opinion, it was a event called snowball fight were i believe it was a 5v5, we got automatically warped there and were set free in a set amount of time. My team won so we all got hats which was kind of satisfying. The event was kind of like team fort.

I kinda like these automated events as admins don't need to be on when events happen, bugs aside this was very convenient.

i agree with this 100 %

The fact though is a bottled event can be....rather....like a double edged sword. You can get events going which gives admins more time. But with no admin in the event. How can we be assured someone won't speed hack in that good of bush race? Or wall hack and run right to the finish line.

oh no no no no no, please why.

An automated snowball fight is being hosted and I clicked join and it was going make me spend 150 gralats.

Events shouldn't be p2p this isn't right.

127 gralats for vips

i support the idea they have in mind, the pay to play method increases your chances of getting into the event. and overall there are bot events that go off almost every 20 minutes (this only happens during american morning times for some reason) so we should be thankful that we are even able to earn event hats without an admin actually having to be on.

ugh.

150 isnt that bad bro...

It’s kinda buggy when you enter these events. When I was at sumo I saw several people walk away from the spawning area before we were “released”.

lol what

it takes gralats when you opt into entering or when you actually get selected

But what if ur at 149?

if you don't get chosen it just gives the gralats back I've heard.

I prefer 500g reward from bot events while admin hosted events reward a hat

alright that's acceptable
