And every other server has between 50-75% of theirs go gold as of today. And not a single one on our front page has. Is the threshold bugged, or did WG simply give us an unrealistic goal? We're halfway to the end and still sitting at 0% "complete". Or are we not even being offered the gold bonus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it was said in the recent AMA on Reddit by a WG person that we, NA server, are really close to seeing some of them turn gold. They would not say more than that.

3,358 [REVY] Royeaux Members 9,646 posts 7,316 battles Report post #11 Posted September 14, 2016 I don't see anything mentioning a "special prize" for the NA news. " It's been almost a year of battles and when our first birthday comes, we'd like to give back! Starts September 8Ends September 19 You've seen Project R, several tech trees across four nations (most recently the addition of mighty German Battleships along with the iconic Bismarck) and we even partnered with ARPEGGIO Of Blue Steel -ARS NOVA-! Now's your chance to earn a new type of achievement: event achievements. They're exactly what they sound like, and these specific achievements will only be available for the duration of our birthday celebrations. They're missions with a twist: while you'll be able to see the achievements, you won't be told explicitly how to unlock them -- think of them as covert achievements. This event is all about teamwork, so make sure to keep an eye on the forums and social media to see if someone has found a solution for any and all of the achievements If you're lucky enough to earn one yourself, share your knowledge with your fellow Captains!"

655 PelicanHazard Members 2,632 posts 10,276 battles Report post #12 Posted September 14, 2016 I don't see anything mentioning a "special prize" for the NA news. Nothing was officially announced. However, seeing as how there is no reason to lock us out of a birthday celebration event that is the same across all 4 servers (the secret achievements), lots of people assumed we were included. Then, in a Q&A livestreamed somewhere (Facebook I think?), one of the WG guys in the stream mentioned NA was close to turning an achievement gold, more or less confirming it.

I don't think they set ours higher than the EU but I think that with the pace that we slammed through Project R they made some adjustments. The EU server is all gold, the RU server is at 6/10, the Asia server is 8/10, and we are 0/10 I think they over did the adjustment by more than a little.

4,521 [WOLF7] awiggin Members 12,620 posts Report post #20 Posted September 14, 2016 The big question here is, why would they lock NA out of something they are doing on all the other servers? Obviously the code is already in place, so why would we be different? And why do our community Devs avoid these questions, while cherry picking other threads to respond to daily. There are a couple serious questions out here that need answering, perhaps someone could step up WG? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,251 MidnightShamalan Members 2,207 posts 5,424 battles Report post #22 Posted September 14, 2016 what i don't understand is how NA blowing their goals for project R out of the water has anything to do with the goals for this event. in project R, once the goal was hit, that was the end of the promotion. people don't suddenly stop being able to earn them when we hit this goal, so there is no reason to have set such an unrealistic expectation. they aren't helping anyone. just frustrating them. promotion team. if you're listening. the idea of a promotion is to make players happy. not piss them off.

Unless there's a major outcry it will just get swept under the rug as planned. people are being patient for now. for once. but once the end of the promotion hits, if we still don't have anything, believe you me; there will be an adjoined outcry the likes of which these forums have never seen. especially if the rewards turn out to be anything good.
