Oasis in 18sec ;P

https://www.facebook.com/succmymeme/videos/455373091471562/

First off, let me state this I have no background in public relations, but regardless I do feel oasis seriously botched this whole ordeal.

Yes I know this will likely fall on deaf ears, and the damage is already done, if they came back and did this it wont stop all of the fears/anger, and in all honesty if they had done these in the first place there is no guarantee that everyone would have stayed, nor would it have stopped all of the charge backs, but meh I do feel it would have been better at placating fears than this thread.

Regardless of the fact that I do not have a background in public relations, there are a few things I would have done to save face so to speak, and try to ease people's mind(s) about this fiasco. (Not necessarily in this order, but yea doing these probably would have been far better than what you gave us.)

1. Distance myself from the person speaking to Arist about this, it was so a lack of better judgment on his part to say the things he did to Arist about the player base. (He was a game liaison after all, he had a LOT less to loose compared to the person who told the GL those things, the person who told arist could be interpreted as breaking an NDA, especially with how Arist was 'paid.') - It put one hell of a bad light on you/your 'company.' Not to mention it rightfully upset tons of people that a lot of this stuff came to light. - Yes this sadly includes terminating his position at oasis, I know it *s for him/his "family" (quotations since I don't know if he has one or not. :$) but yea he allowed a GL to put you all into one hell of a tight pickle, one that has caused a lot of discontent in your most important 'content'... YOUR players, keeping them all as happy as possible... or content should always be PRIORITY number 1! (I am not saying we should have everything handed to us on a silver platter, but yea we are very important to your 'business' if we aren't happy/content we wont be here to potentially spend on the game.

2. Make a statement distancing yourself from this mess:

"While X was a representative of ours, let us assure you it isn't what we believe as a whole, we remain devoted to bringing an enjoyable experience for all of our players, both our free players and paying player's as soon as possible." - Then you can start listing the upcoming updates, to show how you are releasing more ways for free players to obtain stuff to try to slightly keep up with the paying players.

3. Apologize and correct the obvious misunderstandings that people had with this fiasco, specifically tell us that what was stated is false, (I.E the "one a day"/raising of ninja prices etc) and if you have too ask for an update to cover your asses due to all of this becoming knowledge to the public.

4. Again reiterate how you wish to continue to bring an enjoyable experience for ALL of your players, and ask for understanding going into the future as we work out our kinks. Perhaps even thank the players for staying with you.

---

Though it is true you don't have to do any of this, now or then, it still would have been a better way of handling it.

I honestly do not know what will come of this, I do not know how many people have charged back/stopped charging due to this mess, but it is clear there is a significant amount of people doing both of these, no matter how wrong arist was to do this, it was even more wrong for an employee of yours to state these things to a half - ass employee who stood to loose very little, I do believe this is why quite a few games don't tend to "hire" people who play their games, less investment in the game/community, means less chance of them divulging how a company works. Though yes in the same sense that can help as they are more likely to want to help the game stay alive and active, but that isn't always the case, some will do extreme things when they feel what they are doing is right. (Like stealing a Lamborghini from an ultra rich douche bag, - granted vin #"s and all does make this problematic, but still... - to give to the poor/really needy. Stealing is still a crime, but the act following it is quite noble.) Even more wrong is the fact that you all basically just slapped your player base in the face with answers that clearly aren't even remotely satisfactory to many players, paying and free players alike.

Players on my server haven't gained power in like a week and I have a feeling that won't change for a some time now.

what if i tell you that because of that consumption wheel a lot o people in the UK servers went crazy yesterday and spent thousands of ingots on it?
out of the blue a lower powered person got the lead for the susano'o sasuke reward, the pool size just grew to 50k cuppons and the guys that had their positions lost started to spend again like crazy.

at a point during the night someone got a 5% cuppons reward the pool droped to 5k and not 30 secs later was back at over 75k, and it ended up over 100k and right now it dropped back to around 75k and you can follow the "drama" herehttp://forum.naruto.oasgames.com ... 695&highlight=wheel

how are some suppose to fight back if a selected few keep giving them money? it just shows that the company was right all along to scam and milk the players.

and because i'm a good person i will give this to the ones that keep spending before any actual changes have been made, it will help with the friction, so just stop complaining all together that you got rigged on an event that you knew was rigged and kept spending anyway.

4. New Lv. 80/90 Gift Packs (the Chinese version of the game does not have these);

Very nice BLATANT LIE ! ..we have seen clear evidence they actually have those packs in chinese version and even more power packs on top of that.

1. Spreading false information will have a player banned (including: links in the World channel, false information about the core system of the game);

Ok. Curious what happens to the employees that present false information as pointed out by screenshots proving the chinese version actually having the above mentioned packs ?

it could very well be a plant account took 1st to make people spend more on the wheel, but even spending on the wheel doesnt mean recharging, i have 14k ingots from last year that i havent used

but if one of the biggest complaints is rigged wheels why spend on a rigged wheel?

spend them somewhere else, is it so hard to conect the dots?

if all of the accusations being made are true about them rigging the events to make more money i wouldnt put it past them to pull something like that however if that is the case and they were EVER caught making an account to mass spend and jack the price of thier own product up so that players had to spend more to get something they were already getting at a lower price. they not only would be sued and shut down but jail sentences would be handed out like lollipops. which is why from a professional standpoint the risk does not outweigh the benefit in this case so i would assume that is not the case This post was last edited by 102***@facebook at 2017-3-28 20:30

Plant accounts would be accounts put there specifically to compete against heavy spenders, occasionally "leapfrogging" the spenders in power, making them more motivated to spend more to beat the planted account.

Not saying this is happening, just describing the concept :P

the concept is actually used in asian games and they admit to doing so, the biggest difference is that this plant accounts avoid competing in actual pvp events and get rewards away from paying players.

it also server a showcase account for what you can achive if you spend enough.

true, in my server there is an account who has 70k power and 104 ninja ;P but never doing SWB , Nine tails Invasion, or even GNW :lol
never see he/she doing plunder or convoy too ;P

so what the hell is he/she doing with that power?

I think u need to fix this sentence.

4. For players of our support team: leaking information will lead to a ban; being irresponsible for his working duties will lead to being expelled from the support team or even a ban.

to 4. For players of our support team: leaking information will lead to being expelled or even a ban for being irresponsible with their working duties.


since his u are trying to point at a person and not talking about in overall.

forget usa server, china is the way.

Are they really going to give us the silent treatment until thursday in hopes a most likelly lucky board event will calm the rage?

but since they got a youtube / streamer as a GL, they might get in trouble now.

Along with a compensation mail title "Sorry we're awful" followed by 10 coupons.

them apologizing? you're daydreaming dude

<:2_40:> .. seems so.

dirty or not dirty, that is a practice that happens in the Chinese servers of the game. I don't know if it is legal by Chinese law or not, but that's something to consider.

Yup. Ofc they will. Look at how awesome this tactic is working. Right now this topic is like half-dead. Nothing compared to what it was, give 2 more days till thursday and we are good to go without any statement beside this one. Yay! Ofc after thursday they will start banning the most vocal ppl. That's the Chinese way.
