Hello, I'm Cookiethief in the Bijou server. I placed 6th in the Isya Blossom contest. I have been hearing that only the top 5 are getting the pegasus? That cant be true. At 7:31 p.m on Tuesday June 10th an announcement was made that said "At the end of the event the top 10 players on each server will win a... wait for it...wait for it...PEGASUS!" I even took a screenshot of it and I'll post a picture of the announcement below. I hope there wasnt some kind of screw up, I sold +9 weapons and armor from 2 characters, including myself, that I wasnt even done useing yet so I could buy Blossoms and I would seriously consider quiting Fiesta if they *#$% me over like this.:mad:

well isn't it a bit silly to do all this just to get a cash shop item which will go away after 30 days?

Easy for you to say DemonBlitz, Did you spend hours collecting blossoms? And its not a cash shop item. You think they would do a contest like this for a Fiesta cash item? And one last thing, why do you think they have items for sale that dont have any stats in the fiesta store? Obviously people buy them anyway because they want thier character to look cool and stand apart from the others. Contests have rules, if the rules change in the middle people get upset. Is that really so hard to understand?

It happens sometimes in the event.

its the top five as far as i know.. first place gets a black pegasus, second to fifth get white pegasus. if you look on the rankings page, its the top five that are bold, not the top ten.

well... while talking to silky today, he mentioned it was only for 30 days, but he could have been just referring to something else. I'll ask and screen shot when he pops up in Uruga tomorrow.

Nothing to do but wait.
I personally don't think selling a bunch of stuff, spending a crapload of money isn't worth it. Targon actually farmed most of his and he got 3rd place on Teva.

I saw the same notice on Epith I just didn't take a screen of it. After my first 50 blosooms I knew it wasn't something I wanted to compete in. because I saw how people were buying most of theirs and I just don't have the silver. But hey all those who did complete all that gratz for having the patience to do something I did not have the patience to do. :D

I can tell you that:
- Top 5 gets Pegasus
- Pegasus mount is 30 days
- Top 30 are invited to Wedding
I asked Fiesta_Help about this and once I heard the mount had a time limit, I stopped collecting. I do not want to spend like 100 gold on something that isn't permanent. Plus, I was 50 Isya Blossom stacks away from the 5th place rank so I had no chance to compete anyway.

So the vendor i saw everyday by kidwoz
"OIVIEGA"
"Buying Isya Blossoms"
Was that scotch mist playing with my eyes :p:eek:
Good times at the roumen patch 12 hours a day for 5 days:rolleyes::cool:
Yeah, top 10 deserve a prize if that was what they said. And they should be ALOT more than 30 days (like infitite) for the amount of effort put in for this event. Date a GM was just answering a few questions and the winners (all participants?) got permanent prizes for that. The design a siggy contest got permanent prizes. Maybe we're just unlucky to get very hard event and only a 30 day prize :confused::mad:

I did this cause they said "At the end of the event the top 10 players on each server will win a... wait for it...wait for it...PEGASUS!"
i spent 18G for this... it didnt bother me..
i stuck at lvl 69 for 2 weeks because of this.. it didnt bother me..

Might i suggest:
1st Black Pegasus (Permanent)
2nd White Pegasus (Permanent)
3rd White Pegasus (Permanent)
4th White Pegasus (Permanent)
5th White Pegasus (Permanent)
6th White Pegasus (30 days)
7th White Pegasus (30 days)
8th White Pegasus (30 days)
9th White Pegasus (30 days)
10th White Pegasus (30 days)
Of course, thats me speaking as someone in the top 5. I'm sure 6-10 feel differantly :p
Also no one told you to sell your armour and weapons or spend 18g for this event ¬_¬
I spent 2g, which people who know me will know, thats the most i can ever save up at any one time because i spend it too much :D
It was possible to get into, and stay in the top 10 simply by gathering alot. I found i could get 30 blossoms in an hour gathering at the flower patch in roumen between the forest of tides and sand beach gate.

NOOOOOO! Its you! I almost beats you >:D!
I saw top 10 too when it was announced. This is totally's unfairs! E..even though I didn't get top 10 XD
Also, i think i spent 1.5 gold to get into 11th place. Still wasn't enough. I shoulda stopped and started selling my Isya when I had the chance :(

that was because it had a lvl requirement or something like that so they couldn't use it until now.

You have to realize that this is a competition.
The ranks are posted. Anyone at any given time can turn in blossom quests to make their rank jump.
We've told players in game and through the Fiesta_Help box that it is Top 5 who will be awarded a Pegasus.
#1 - Black Pegasus
#2 - White Pegasus
#3 - White Pegasus
#4 - White Pegasus
#5 - White Pegasus
Each of them are 30 Day durations.

lolz why isit that outspark employees contradict eachother, or dont know what they say/do IG and on forums?
DemonBlitzKragor
06-25-2008, 10:16 AM
it may have been their old plans and then changed after. Or they made a mistake in the announcement and made a different one later on. But now, as we all know, those are the rules as Fiesta_Help has stated and most likely will not be changed.

wow, thanks Fiesta GM help, thanks for nothing. Maybe you should of broadcasted that valuable information on June 10th instead of telling everyone that the top 10 were going to get a pegasus, that way I wouldnt of wasted my time and gold on this crappy event! And if you rocket scientist decided to change the rules at some point it would of been nice to let us know instead of us finding out after the fricken event was OVER! Gawd you guys SUCK!

Flaming isn't going to get you anywhere, and if you had stated as earlier you are going to leave, i suggest you say your goodbyes in a thread on your home server and i bid you a good journey in you life ^^

No offense, but you didn't think this was such a 'crappy event' when you thought you had won. /shrug/
Top 5 - if it was posted different and was not updated, then I'd say quote that and forward it to Fiesta_Help directly. Other than that, better luck next time.

I have always thought this was a crappy event, I wouldnt do it unless I thought I was going to get something out of it, like I was told I would I would by that notice. Is getting mad and stating the facts flaming? Fine, I'm flaming. You expect me to be happy? Get real. God gave us the ability to get angry for a reason, and this qualifies in my book. And whats your problem anyway Demonblitz? You've done nothing but antagonize me since my first post. And yeah, I said I'll consider leaving, waiting to see if they are going to give me the Pegasus first if thats ok with you? And yes, I've contacted Fiesta Via email, waiting to hear back.

Always doublecheck the events on the forums after seeing such announcement.
They are human and can make mistakes sometimes.
Its a competition. As if the number 6 on all the other servers are happy they didnt win.. ofcourse not, but they accept their loss and say "gg all".

I think people went way overboard with this event IMHO. I'd rather gain a few levels than spend days farming or spend truckloads of silver to buy blossoms.

I've got no problem with people making mistakes Centrix, but if you make a mistake own up to it. Dont just pretend it didnt happen. This is false advertising, I'm not the only one who competed in this competition under the false assumtion that the top 10 would be winners. Wheres the others who sacrificed time and gold who who are saying "gg all" and accepting thier losses? I'm sure they are a little ticked off too.

If it was originally announced as top 10 and not updated then I'd agree you have a reason to complain.
If it was originally advertised as top 10 and later updated to top 5 but you didn't see the notice, then I see no reason to complain.
If you feel it was the prior rather than the latter, then submitting your concerns with a quote of the original posting, if possible, and maintaining a calm, respectful tone is the best method towards potential solution.
In any event the only persons that can resolve this are the GMs. Seeing as you have PMd them and this thread is wandering close to the flames, I am going to go ahead and close it.
Good luck. I sincerely wish you the best.
