Discussion: Introducing Tweet Code Thursdays!

Or some information on who the heck Rula Shin is supposed to be. Maybe some pics, if it's one of the Temp Costume powers(Halloween), a Non-Combat / Non-Power toggle costume(disguse), or some costume pieces.

A little more heads-up last week would have been nice as well, many of us have the NC-loader close when we start the game, I only saw the blurb about the twitter gimmick when I had to reinstall the game Thursday night. A GMOTD popup in the game would have helped spread the message to active players! And of course the game has over 6000 people following it, but the way they're doing the codes means that a whole 360 people can get the first come - first served code!

Yeah not digging code grabs. Impossible to do from an IPhone when at work.

Once again , back to the method guaranteed to bum me out. Righto then. I tried I failed, 30s after I saw em. One day we'll get a retweet again.

It was a bad idea last week. It's still a bad idea this week. Also, a temporary costume power. How nice. The Kirby crackle aura I would have scrambled for, no matter how much I damn this awful plan. But not for a temp costume power.

There's a little sour grapes, yeah. There's also the fact that this was a bad idea that upset some folks, and it's still being done.

I have confidence in our community development team. Unfortunately, they can't do a thing about demands that are sent down from on high. I'm going to give Hit Streak and Zwill the benefit of the doubt, and say this wasn't their idea.

Hey guys, I've got a suggestion and I don't know how feasible it would be. Could we do the retweet message with a forum handle or email address? That way you wouldn't have to hit your DM limit on twitter but could PM or email us a code.

Just a suggestion!

Well, I was willing to make an account and try to participate when it involved the direct replies, but there's little reason to bother racing everyone else to batches of ten codes.

I didn't care for Twitter to begin with, but went along to try and get some free stuff that wouldn't be available elsewhere Unfortunately, this return to the old model makes any attempt to snag a code completely improbable.

Account deleted, unlikely to bother playing along on any further pavlovian social media crud in the future, et cetera. And no, fellow forumites, you can't have my stuff, because I still have the game proper, just giving up on attempting to compete in some social media twitch game.

Forum handle essentially limits the contest to VIPs since Premium players can't send, receive or store private messages.

And I'm not sure how much people want to give out personal contact information, but I'd hazardly wager a "not really".

Zwill, Hit Streak.

I love that you guys are trying to expand on interaction with the playerbase.

But the code grabs are quite possibly the most infuriating, most stressful way you could do it.

I'd rather see codes randomly emailed to all email addresses registered to the game, throughout the year, with no guarantee of getting one ever... than have to fight everyone in the space of fifteen seconds or so for a handful of codes that are likely going to be entered by the time I even load the image.

This is not fun, nor is it rewarding.

I love you guys.

But I HATE this method of doing this.

Especially with godawful Twitter interface that is so data unfriendly that I can't even click a link until the page is loaded. (Yes, my work computer is a POS, why do you ask?)

I'll pass.

I get that what you did last week just isn't sustainable. I'm not some villainous ogre that wants you all manually sending codes until your hands bleed and Twitter itself cries uncle (I'm not black-hearted enough for marketing, it seems). Your time is more valuable than that.

I appreciate that you're ramping things up to try to get even more codes out there, but code rushes just aren't fun. You can dress them up, put a goofy hat on them, make more codes or whatever and I'll still pass.

You guys went all out last week and I am appreciative. It's really disappointing that your best intentions are continually hampered by lack of support on the technical side of things. I hope this entire conversation can serve as ammunition for you in going back to the higher ups and petitioning for better support for your endeavors.

For the record, I'm not too much of a fan of the code scramble, either, but I at least want to give our CRT credit for at least trying to find something that works. Last week's private tweets thing semi-worked, but there's the site limitation to work around.

Hopefully there's a happy medium in there somewhere.

freaking ridiculous.
BEFORE 1 p.m., BEFORE the tweet appears in the twitter feed, I get the notification via text message, type in one of the codes, and it's already used.

The codes are all used up NEGATIVE TWO MINUTES after being shown in the twitter feed. This isn't doing anything BUT pissing us off!

Or they could just automatically give these items to VIP's who register their Twitter accounts and get a tweet, with a repeatable code. But that would entail customer support and assure their continued interest in the game and not dropping from VIP like I plan to do shortly...

Exceptionally frustrating.

Its a pic so no cut and paste using a browser. Not to mention they are all gone within seconds. I'm randomly picking my first one from the middle also.

Why not release 1 code that can be entered for 5-10 minutes from the tweet?
