Not sure if this is the best place to mention this, but is there any way we could get the post event rankings back?

On any event you can pull up the rules, personal & alliance placement, and rewards. Prior to Unity we could still see this for about 24 hours after the event ended.

It helps for alliance commanders to see if their players are meeting requirements (if they have any). It can also be useful for players to see who placed higher & get ideas for teams by seeing top player rosters.

Seriously on this one... for our record keeping we've had to tap a non s5 player to get last minute scores because the people actually playing then shouldn't be worrying about that.

Yes,
Please!

I would like the post event pane to remain as well.

I also understand why the recent QOL changes help newer players as we need new folks around here to keep this thing going.

I will add this to our list! (I can't currently make a guarantee about when we would be able to get around to it, but I will record it.)

@TheMigz just to be sure you’re aware:
Keeping post event rankings up was the norm for years and years. Only when Unity launched did it change. Now the event disappears the second the last slice (slice 5) ends. So, this is not a new feature request, but rather ‘can we please go back to the way it was for so many years. There was no reason to change it’.

Hopefully it is not an add it to our list, and more of a find it on our list.
"Post-Event Scores are not kept for 24 hours" has been on this list for almost 3/4 of a year now.

Obviously it is not as critical as the game crashing, etc. It is just nice to know it is on the list.

Well, it may well have been on BCS’s list for some time, but that was used as toilet paper and then tucked behind a radiator somewhere ready for this new lot to take over, so don’t go holding out any hopes for promised QOL improvements being on their radar, unless they’ve been brought to their attention in 2026.

Nice to know it’s on their list now though

Thank you!

A prime example of this is the event that just ended. Last time I checked our alliance was around T60 with about 5 hours till it ended. This morning at least two people said we missed T100 & I have no way to check that. We haven't missed T100 in 6-7 years, so I seriously doubt that was the case. The event rewards have also been bugged since Unity so I don't know if we made it but it just wasn't displayed right, we made it & didn't get the right rewards, or we missed it somehow & dropped 40+ places in 5 hours.

Any way you look at that, there is a bug of some kind. I just don't know what to report without that data.

Painmonger

Well there's your problem!

Looks like T100 doesn't exist anymore

That was done by BCS to give better rewards for smaller alliances. It was in the update notes over a year ago.

Really? I'm pretty sure top 100 is the regular message I've been getting for alliance placement over the last few months. I also noticed that it was a t250 placement this morning but I assumed it was because someone had left.

Please provide a screenshot or quote of this.

The only thing I can recall that changed was when they introduced the new difficulties etc in October. They never released any official communication about that so there's no documentation about what happened or what they intended.

LavaManLee

BCS never did any such thing. This is definitely recent as 250 never existed. Something changed recently.

Yeah, I agree.

There has been some changing of alliance rewards for new releases though, since October and new rewards and things.

We still don’t fully know if that was intended.

So what rewards have been lost between 51 and 100 for Alliances?

For one thing, a full cover for 4* release.
