Dabo sale?

Cpt_insano_2k1

Did this get postponed/forgotten/binned?

I thought it was starting today....

It was an oversight....

Still scheduled for today
Should be around 1pm ET and it will be announced.

I think it didn’t go live, the ad spin is still available.

Thank you, Shan. I was about to question it with the caveat that I would wait an hour before lighting my torch.

Now THAT is a prompt response. Gracias

So if it starts around 1, will it change today's dabo crew for me? Lol

Legate Damar

It almost has to, free spins weren’t supposed to be available.

Here's hoping the fact that I did a spin because I forgot it was today doesn't negatively impact me.

TP do better!! ~Colli~ (PoF)

It would have been nice if the "announcement" that the sale would start at 1 would have come out BEFORE the normal time of 12.....

I am waiting for the special announcement that if you already spun on today's dabo, you will have to wait until tomorrow for the sale.

You mean the regular announcement? It's not "special" if they mess up and penalize us every time......

So, do I spin now and use an ad warp or later for the sale? Will the wheel and spin opportunities reset when the sale goes live or will it count today's spins as used if I spin before the sale activates?

Every time they do stuff like this, that is not timed to the reset, we are the ones affected. No reason to suppose this is any different than any other time they couldn't time it right.........

Why not make the announcement the day before the "thing" starts, to avoid the risk of some players getting hooped because they play the game? Consistently bad planning, communication and execution of something that should be universally received as a positive...

KPan [ISA]

It might have taken a bit of the sting out of it if they made the announcement at noon, to tell us what would happen at one. Instead of people logging in, spinning, being confused and disappointed.

This is just made the anticipation even higher. Lol, I can't believe I am excited for a dabo sale.

I think a lot of us are “excited” by the prospect of “anything” that is better than the past 2 weeks of anniversary “celebrations”...

So is something happening? I see nothing after 2 restarts.

KPan [ISA]

I see the same thing I saw at 12. Some kind of announcement or clarification would be nice.

Cpt_insano_2k1

Not that I can see......shan said “around” 1 est so lets give it a few

Shan

I will take into consideration, and under advisement, the request to announce things slightly in advance. For instance at noon for something that would go live around 1pm.

Likewise I forwarded the feedback regarding not having the sale coincide with the Dabo reset.

calsnowskier

Should spin the regular wheel first?

Keeping your customer base in the dark is ALWAYS a good business decision...

Shan

However, please keep in mind that some operations, like the Dabo sale are manual and can be impacted by other things such as server deploy which makes giving an exact timing difficult.

But, we can always strive for improvements

KPan [ISA]

Thank you.
I personally don't know if the sale has started because I dont know what the sale is supposed to be. It seemed to be 50% off starting an hour ago, but then you clarified it will start around 1 (thank you for that), as my dabo looks the same it did an hour ago I dont know if I should spin, or wait for... something?

Kanon

So, I made the mistake of playing today, or not?

Even that may not work, if a player doing something after daily restart or by a certain time in the morning messes things up for the rest of that 'day'.

I dont know exactly. If its a standard dabo sale, then it looks like its already started. If its something special, there seems to be an issue with it changing to the new deal.
