Rewarded visits usually ignore the 12 visit cap though, don’t they?

Except in the case of the Election event, yes.

I’m rather annoyed by that… It would have been nice to get those bonus 4 forum visits.

RAGE. Not fair domination wise.

damn it why this

i was at 8

why the extra visits?

o_0 I thought this only happened to me and I reported it, but still used all 8 visits XD lol

Maybe it was because of thanksgiving?

not fair would mean that someone didn’t have equal opportunity. Everyone had a chance to not go over 12 visits. And besides the game isn’t fair all the time. Some people who wanted the turkey missed it because it wasn’t available for the first 6 or so hours of thanksgiving.

Not fair means cirgreat timesstances outside the players control. Deciding through luck, rather than planning or skill, who ‘wins’. So I maximise my chances, I put in the effort, I do everything right, and all that effort go down the drain through a random die roll. Do you understand the frustration? What’s the point in playing a game with just a blatantly unfair playing field, since winning means as little as losing under such cirgreat timesstances. It diminishes the experience, indirectly, even for the lucky ones.

If you play dom, you save visits to go for solo vanilla. There’s a built in and strong incentive to have your visits at 8 before rollover. So, the game is slanted towards a proportion of those players (depending which day they started saving) getting screwed when you get an extra unannounced rollover. The timing of the extra rollover puts players in certain timezones at a disadvantage, since if they’re sleeping etc, they don’t get to use the extra visits. Sucks to be European, or to have other things to do at the weekend, even if you planned a good amount of time to play – your dom week was called off while you were away from your PC.

Worst of all, I would have hoped ET learned from the last time, and all of the patently logical and obvious problems pointed out with such an unfair free gift. Obviously not.

The Election solution (if you receive free visits and you already had 12, just add it to your current visits and don’t get more until you go lower than 12 again, like the cheaters who bought the 69 visits illegal enhancement) worked pretty well, why this wasn’t applied here?

Acidental or not, that seemed like a good solution even for acidental issues.
