2018 Sneakathon Event

Post by TreeKiwi »

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today we kick off the 2018 Sneakathon Event. The Event consists of daily sales, three different tiered competitions that anyone can enter for free and one called 'Grand Sneakathon Competition: The True Silent Hunter' which requires an entry ticket.

There will be three different tiered competitions to test your luck on, spread across the week. They have the following prize pool:
  • 1st Place - Trophy and 150em$
  • 2nd Place - Trophy and 100em$
  • 3rd Place - Trophy and 50em$
  • 4th-10th Place - Trophy and 25em$
The 'Grand Sneakathon Competition: The True Silent Hunter' Competition runs for the full 7 days and for 10em$ you have a much better prize pool to chance your luck at:
  • 1st Place - Special Trophy and 300em$
  • 2nd Place - Special Trophy and 200em$
  • 3rd Place - Special Trophy and 100em$
  • 4th-10th Place - Special Trophy and 50em$
You can enter both competitions at once and do not have to pick only one.

To purchase a ticket for the 'Grand Competition' you can find it in the store HERE.

Daily Sales can be seen in the launcher or you can click HERE to check them out. The sales switch at 3am CEST everyday, so don't miss out!

Any questions put them in here and I will do my best to answer them for you, otherwise good luck all.

Thanks!

Charging money for a competition, plus we don't even get to see the "Special Trophy". No thank you, thanks for the sales though.

Agree. Perhaps a new gameplay Feature? ;) It seems that EW now do anything to press the last em$ out of the Player.

I for one don't see charging an entry fee as the problem. In fact I think it was a good idea but IMO the prizes are a bit lacking for a paid entry contest. The way I see it is one is paying 10 times the fee to enter vs the normal comp and it is only paying out 2 times the prize.

I think the prizes would have been much better if they looked something like this.

1st Place - Trophy and 1000em$
2nd Place - Trophy and 500em$
3rd Place - Trophy and 200em$
4th-10th Place - 4th-10th Place - Special Trophy and 100em$

At least this way someone that wants to enter sees some value if he/she wins.

I second this. Having to pay to participate in a competition is controversial to put it mildly. Especially considering the fact that we're already paying for membership and microtransactions. So it would be nice to at least have the possibility to win big prizes as a counterbalance.
