Explicitly State When Summer Event Games are RNG-based

[Seraphina]

Support, it unintentionally misleads players.

support & agree with the points outlined here. I really appreciate staff’s drive to try to put a little extra magic into activities on the site, but this is one that I think unfortunately might not be worth the confusion, given that it can affect how much repeated effort & tokens players are putting into something they can’t technically “improve” on.

Absolutely support!

Support. The game for this last Medieval event felt deceptive,
even if it wasn't that way intentionally.

Support.

Maybe the easiest solution is to not call them 'games' - which to me implies interaction and instead call them 'shows' or 'events'.

This would preserve the 'magic' and would just require some alterations to the flavor text. Using the Joust as an example:

Event text (current):
A challenge awaits! Test your jousting skills and see if you can win a prize. For just a nominal fee you can prove your skills to the masses. If you're struggling, head back to the arena for more practice.

Changed text (showing its RNG):
A show awaits! For just a nominal fee, you can sit back and watch some of our Knights in training put their skills to the test. Will your champion win?


And as for outcome text:

Best prize;
Congratulations, your champion won! To commemorate the event, you pick up a souvenir.

Consolation prize;
Unfortunately, your champion didn't win. However, you still pick up a souvenir to show your continued support.

Thanks, we will start to explicitly state when event games are RNG based going forward.

oh my god, is THIS why i could never ACTUALLY "git gud" at the jousting game??? and the root beer gallery was ALSO like that?? that is wild, no wonder this suggestion got implemented, it truly is a shock for me to learn that they were even RNG in the first place.

so glad to hear this will be addressed in the future, it was especially bad during the wild west event where i genuinely had people in the casual chat thread discussing strategy around my reply saying staff had confirmed it was rng T^T

really glad to hear about this update, thank you cs staff!
