Give Australians A BREAK!!

Yeah, I'm going to rant here...

The amount of ways us Aussies get screwed over with this game is ridiculous, and I think it's time someone pointed it out...

We are mostly 8-9+ hours ahead of game time, which means

  • Events start at 6-7am (Depending on Daylight savings)
  • 2 of the Flash feuds start at 2am and 1am
  • MLC events stop at 4am
  • Stipulation tours reset at 9pm, but new stipulation events don't start until 7am the next day
  • We get screwed out of things that people who are closer to game time, take advantage of, that get fixed before we even wake up. (It happens every month, multiple times)

I finished last MLC with 498k points, knowing I was going to get 4k with my faction. But because the MLC finished at 4am, I got screwed and even though the points SHOULD have been in my account already, Scopely won't give me the rewards i should be deserved ALL BECAUSE I WAS NATURALLY ASLEEP AT 4AM!!!

It is deplorable, unrealistic, disgusting, and outright ridiculous that you expect people to be up within an hour time frame to be able to gain rewards that should have already been awarded automatically. I should not have to log into a game, just to be awarded points that the rest of my faction had already received because they are 9 hours behind me in time.

I feel completely ripped off, for something that shouldn't be seen as my fault. Those points were EARNED by my faction as a whole, and placing rewards should be automatically given with the notification of "This is what you received while you were away" instead of "This is what you lost because you couldn't be on the game in time"


Oh but you had the option to buy the MLC points, and you didn't do that. Hahaha let me now get into the even more ridiculousness of price differences between USA and Australia pricings.

I took these images, through the Winter of Wonder event.

These prices are enough to make anyone vomit. Going back to the MLC point deal that was taken away during the weekend (god knows why, it should have lasted until the END OF THE MLC)

The deal everyone received in USA was around the $19 mark, while mine was $32. A massive difference.

You guys get small flash deals of roughly $5 spends, while mine at a bare minimum is around $10. Scopely thinks it's an actual "deal" to give out $160 packages. I dont know anyone who is a working class father that would fork out $160 on a game like this...


End of the day, Aussies get screwed in games. And I'm very sick of it... Why not let the MLC contest overlap with the new contest for the pure fact of claiming rewards? heck for the entire weekend, there was no extra MLC contests, only the Brute contest that had it's own event. So why not leave it up there for an extra day with nothing going towards it?

What is the reason that we must log on to get what we have already earned? Why isn't it just automatically given like every other game you would expect? "Oh look, we did so well, I was rewarded this overnight since the event finished" instead of "I should have gotten this, but because of things outside of my control, i got screwed while everyone else got rewarded"


I Think I've done a very calm job considering I got screwed out of a major character that would have boosted my roster considerably... many others would have quit the game by now, and I am severely tempted to.

But the way Scopely has handled this whole time frame mess is disgusting and completely wrong. Even when I went to support and said all I wanted was the Butch that I earned, they turned around and said because I claimed the points outside of the timeframe, I lost out... To me this is a slap in the face of all the hard work I put in for the entire month. Simple common sense would say "He couldn't be on at this time due to natural circumstances out of his control, what can we do to fix this" Instead of a "sucked in" approach.

    I 100% agree!!!! These rewards should be available at login since they were already earned. You should not be obligated to be awake for something you already earned. Scopely if you're reading this you need to award this man the final milestone of the mlc,including BUTCH!!!! MAKE THIS RIGHT

    If the man had the points which from what ive seen he did. But just didnt claim them because it was 4am.

    Its nots really gonna cost you alot to do a good deed to one of your customers

    Hello extreme, for the points you were unable to collect I would suggest contacting support. They may be able to assist with this issue. Thanks

    I did contact support, and their answer was "you logged in at 8.17pm UTC (just after 6am my time) and the contest ended at 7.30pm UTC (5am my time)." Due to this, they wont give me the rewards i EARNED.

    Hence part of the reason for this rant. Not just for me, but for all of us who have troubles having to be up at ridiculous times during the night when medically we should be asleep. It really seems like a simple thing to do. It seems like a common sense thing to do.

    We get screwed around so much, and we just ask for some way to fix the issue

    Events start and end for me at either 4am or 5am so I feel your pain.

    Of course some timezones have to get the short end of the stick, but at least cut us some slack and allow a bigger window between events for claiming rewards that feed into another event.

    It would also be nice if faction boss in particular could be extended by starting earlier to give everyone a fair opportunity to participate.

    I would like to thank Winter in support for helping me collect the rewards.

    But in saying so, it looks like a few changes are now happening with the faction contests being weekly and a few other changes are happening, so I will be very interested in how this turns out

    Forum team can't do that. Has to go through support.

    About the Prices......you have to factor exchange rates. 1 USD is about 1.50 Australian Dollar. So a USD $19 is about AUD $29. Basically what you are seeing, so there is not a real difference.


    Your Post Said "The deal everyone received in USA was around the $19 mark, while mine was $32. A massive difference."

    I concur with most of the stuff posted here and have been in the same position countless times in the past.

    I think something needs to be done for flash feuds as so many people around the world usually miss out on one or more feuds hurting their ability to score in the superstar comp and thus in the solo event.

    perhaps weekend long CSS or 2 x 24hr feuds giving everyone equal opportunity, one male and one female? For example, It’s not fair that here in Aus we miss out on feud 2 and 4 which are 1/2am to 5am. I’m sure others can’t really play feud 1 and 3 inversely but at least these are longer giving some accessibility.
