About the add-system?

Montaque · 07-11-2006, 19:18

I tried to search if this have been taken up by someone before but can´t find any threads, so here we go...

I´ve been havin some thoughts regarding the add-system and what the pros/cons to have advertisement en/disabled!
The biggest question I have is that exactly how does ur loot get affected when add-system is enabled? Is it a percentage lower average loot and a chance getting a substansially bigger hof (if u get one) or... ?? I just can´t get it

Then , if u disable the advertisement! Do ur looting change to a more balanced level or??
I remember seen MA stating that with advertisement disabled ur loot would remain the same! Now I get really

What is "the same" or "the same" as when???

Then if I somehow will get someone who can explain these things I will have a new problem

If I go out hunting in a team!!!
How does the looting behave if... fex. I have advertisement enabled and my hunting partner has it disabled??
What happens now with our chances getting a ATH or a global/hof and how/what determines what the team loots?
I mean.. Me with adds enabled are not likely going to get 90% of the fictive ATH loot only bcause my team mate arent titled to loot a really big (let´s call it "sponsored" loot)

I know there was something else bothering me about the subject but lets start with these first

Hi,
Until now, there was a test of this system running. All the extraordinary high loots you have seen since the end of last year were part of this test system. When the Massive system starts operating, these extraordinary high loots will be for the people enabling ads only. All other participants will receive regular loot and lose their chance of getting the ad sponsored loots. Unfortunately this is all we can say about this issue.

That is taken directly from a support case reply to a participant.

I was glad to see an ad for a Pink Floyd DVD; if record labels and such are advertising this puts the loot potential (and note I say potential) that much higher.

You really saw that? I haven't seen any of the new ads yet...and wasn't aware that the system was up and running again. Care to shed some more light on this subject? I had that problem where you couldn't enable the ads if you tried so I'm a bit curious about it...

I havent seen one ad. I don't even know where to look other than the projection screens...
Maybe I am missing something....
Yes they are enabled

Then, after that first day, i haven't seen one

. My Ads are screwed up now...

I saw the Pink Floyd add this morning!!

Was gonna start a thread about it, but...

The adds are country related I think.

For me was an add regarding the premier of the "Poseidon" movie, with some background voice in portuguese.

So far I have seen the Poseidon ad, and a second one for Pirates of the Carribean 2.

Too bad the avg loot isnt improved tho, only the possibility to get ATH.

If the ads are country based the loot better damn not be; if we dont all have equal chance at all ad related loot I'm cashing out.
