Adjust Crusade Schedule slightly for fairness

Current Crusade Rewards

  • Sunday winner: 42 hours Drop Rate+,  34 raid-free
  • Tuesday winner:  84 hours Drop Rate+, 48 raid-free
  • Friday winner:  42 hours Drop Rate+,  14 raid-free

So the Tuesday winner gets the same amount of bonus Drop Rate and as much of it raid-free as the other two Crusades combined.  Why should one Crusade be TWICE as rewarding as each of the other two? This seems an obvious unfairness.


A simple fix would be to adjust the schedule as follows: 

  • Monday 1:00 PM
  • Wednesday 7:00 PM
  • Saturday 8:00 AM

This keeps the same times, but pushes the schedule one day later and flips the Wed/Sat time slots. 


The result is this:

  • Mon. winner:  54 hours Drop Rate, 28 raid-free
  • Wed. winner: 60 hours Drop Rate, 28 raid-free
  • Sat. winner: 54 hours Drop Rate, 38 raid-free

This leaves all Crusades basically equal in terms of the reward the winning town receives


This change would probably require adjusting the days/time of other events, but since this reward has arguably the biggest effect on the greatest number of players, it makes sense to let it be optimized with the other events are (re)scheduled around it.

I upvoted your idea to do something with it, but not your posted suggestion. The Saturday would become too full of events and other days lose out. Maybe also look at CTR and Abby and come up with a better overall balance
