OK, here’s a suggestion for future events:

– let us play offline

Wi-fi / mobile data are taken for granted nowadays, and yet there are times when we can be cut off from a reliable signal. It’s happened to all of us.

Yes, I understand that for the Competition against other players, we need to be able to upload our scores so that rankings can be determined. But really, there’s no reason that we need to be online to earn tokens from the Challenge, as that’s only against ourselves. And it’s not an issue of nodes/maps, since we can play regular non-event nodes offline just fine.

So how’s this compromise:

1. A player must connect a minimum of twice each special event day to qualify for the Competition. The first time is when they run their first special event node, so that they can be sorted into a cohort along with other players who started at the same time.

2. Additional connections must be made to upload your updated special event score to the servers. If you fail to do so, then you’re stuck with your original score when the final tallys and rankings are determined. If you connect sometime during the event day, but not at the end of the event day, then you’re stuck with whatever score you had at your last refresh.

3. If you don’t (or can’t) connect online at all, you can still score points and earn tokens from the Challenge, so it’s not a total write-off if you’re out of signal.

So if for some reason you can’t connect at all during the nine days of the special event (say you went on a canoeing trip), you can still potentially earn 9 x 550 = 4,950 tokens from playing the Challenge only, which in the current special event would enable you to exchange for one of the three TFs with a few tokens left over.

Hope this makes sense.
