Worldwide top 20000 players for star collecting event?

Hi Everyone!

Just wondering if we will find out who these players are. I believe the event was to end today, but I am not seeing the event popup anywhere?

Welcome! 👋

Hey @chocolatecat

Thanks for the feedback, I have taken notes and we will see what we can do :-). We are currently looking at making sure that rewards are clearly shown up front and are looking into some tech fixes to increase visibility making it easier to understand when events are running, how you are doing and when they will end. Also, it's no problem reading it, thank you for taking the time to write it :-) and of course for playing!

Hello @CandyCrushinator,

I will make my feedback more constructive, as I truly like this event, but think it could have been better implemented. Having to go to the forums outside of the app for more information seems sufficient to say the event was not properly explained.

More Visibility:
The popup for each stage of the event only displays once. After glancing at the first notification, and by the time I made this thread, I clearly got the amount of people wrong as I had nothing to refer back to. It would be nice to have this event visible above our daily 3 quests or on the top left corner of the game world like the long-duration timed quests sometimes found in Candy Crush Saga. Please allow us ways to see these event popups at our will, as they're easy to miss or tap through.

Better Explained Event:
When the event first started, from the first popup in the app, I thought i was in a competition vs everyone in the world in order to collect as many stars as possible, and that the top 20000 (clearly now 25000) players would qualify to compete in another round. There was no global timer for the event, and it drove me to make this thread here on the forums.

However upon making the post, it was discovered this is a regional event, of which some regions cannot even participate in, and that it was to show support for a sport.

Upfront Rewards:
I actually do like the mystery behind the message of, "you're now in an event; keep playing to qualify," but on day 1 we had no idea what the event would yield.

Even if it stated, "A secret costume," would be obtainable, I think there would be more of a drive for others to either play or spend money on to advance.

Please do more of these events. Global events/competition among or with brackets of players are unique and thrilling to me. Please do consider the three topics above when forming the next event.

Thank you for your time in reading this.

Hello Everyone,

As @QueenMia said this event was created to celebrate something that I (as an American who enjoys football) am very excited about, the Women's World Cup! The US WNT is fantastic and I am excited to see them play against the equally amazing Swedish women's national team (Sweden being my home these days) tomorrow! This event is running in 12 of the 20 countries participating in the Women's World Cup. The selection of these 12 countries was based on the countries participating that have the most people playing CCFS. We had to ensure that we had a significant number of players over the top 25,000 so that players had a reasonable challenge. As for how the event worked, all of the stars collected were tracked in game and the results were tabulated outside of the game, then the results were communicated to players via our in game popups. I wish everyone who made it to round 2 the best of luck in collecting Tiffi's new costume and thanks to everyone who participated! We hope to run more events like this in the future and always strive to improve them so any feedback is appreciated :-)

So i ended up qualifying, and the popup screen I received said I made it to the next round. The icon in the center of the screen was the US flag (as I play within the US)

It is a weird tournament, and I wish this was handled in a better way by King. More visibility of the event from within the game, as well as the details and such would be very welcomed come the next event.

Thanks for the info @bearwithme. I wonder what the process is for choosing who gets to compete then. That's so cool @MiaChristine is representing USA ! 😁

@marscrushinit - I'm only in the 200s and I got the offer but didn't collect enough stars (I'm very slowly advancing in this game). However @MiaChristine is competing and is representing the USA! 😊👏

This seems like a fun event . I wish I could have played bit I'm not that far in the games

Finally got the announcement after today's update from Google Play store. The catch is there is only 1 day to play and I have no new levels to play until tomorrow.
The silver lining is that it is not about individuals but all the players in the same country are banded together. The players in the winning country will all get Tiffi's special costume.

Hey @Acv

Thanks for the feedback! The tournament was designed to give a chance to everyone, regardless of how many people in the country participate in Round 1. It's been made to celebrate the Women Football WorldCup so it's just celebrating Team work! Only one country can win

Don't you worry though, there will be more occasion to get more costumes

Acv

@QueenMia I think that King should run a smaller tournament for the players who were unable to participate. Maybe because there were not enough players from that country. Maybe group them into 12 different groups and them have them compete for a chance to move on to round two. I am not sure the percentages of players who moved on for each country but maybe have the top 15%, or what ever the correct percentage is, move on. Also I am on to round two and would like to see notifications of how my country is doing. Thank you. By the way good luck to all the players who moved on.

I didn’t go to next round 🤷🏻‍♀️

@wafercookieflippers No problem, we are here to learn from each other 😉 This event was created to celebrate the Women Football Worldcup hence new Tiffi's costume. I understand your point of view but not all the events are available to everyone.

@flew66 As I said above, this event is exclusive to certain countries but even in these countries a certain amount of players won't have it at all.

wafercookieflippers

@firebombmarkus my apologies. I didn’t even realize the list of countries was so small. I am also happy for those who get the costume but I guess making it super exclusive is only making me want it more. 🥺😉

edit: actually I am going to stand by original statement and say that I feel like it should be open to all countries. *at least.* Having testing groups is fine, but excluding an entire country of players just feels wrong. If there aren’t 20,000 players in that country or whatever the reason may be, then something needs to be changed with the contest so at least everyone has an equal chance to participate. Or an equal chance to get passed over like me and many others. I don’t like seeing my fellow players not even being allowed to come out of the starting gates. It’s not fair. 🙁

@flew66 I am not sure I understand any of the details either. I spent some time Friday and Saturday trying to “trigger” the event by collecting stars. I am by no means as far as you and some of the others, but I’m right around 1275. I just figured it was not based on levels but something else entirely. Not sure what though. 🤔🙃

I am located in Canada and I haven't received any invitation for this event. Didn't get anything from the app on my Android device or Win10. I would consider myself as one of the top players, as least by level count. Kind of disappointed actually.

mysticalmysty

Well round 1 is officially done already, but I’m not sure how they do the count

@firebombmarkus Really?! Well boo hiss. Wish we could all get a chance. Seems like the fair thing to do, but what do I know... 🤗

Thank you for pointing this out @wafercookieflippers This event is actually not available in my country so I wasn't aware of it 😊
