Dominance is a new type of Family Event and combines elements of previous events that we have seen in the game. The event lasts for 5 days and each day there is one ‘contest’ every 8 hours. This brings the total number of contests to 15 and since there are 3 separate categories to each contest that would be a total of 45 reward opportunities. If you family can place #1 on all 3 leaderboards for all contests than each member could earn 45 loot items and +135 skill points! The rewards are loot for the top 30 families of each league and skill points for the top 3 families of each league. There are 90 families in each league and only the top 30 appear on each leaderboard. There are 3 leaderboards for each contest (energy, stamina and swag). A list of the loot rewards is shown below. If your family is in the top 30 for each contest, it should be possible to earn 45 loot items in the next 5 days. More details and a reprint of the FAQ are shown below.
Dominance: FAQs
Q: What is Dominance?
A: Dominance is a 5-day event in which Families continually outperform each other to claim control over 3 territories (Energy, Stamina, and Swag) and earn territorial rewards. The event can be accessed through the home page module.
Q: How do I play?
A: Access Dominance through the home page module and click on each territory to view their respective tasks. There are 3 Territories available:
1. Stamina Territory: Collect Ices
2. Energy Territory: Loot from Jobs (except New York)
3. Swag Territory: Collect loot from Friends (Ask)
The listed tasks are meant to be completed by Families to claim control over each territory. Each Dominance League has 90 families of similar Strength.
The first 30 families from every League to complete a territory's task will take control of that territory and climb up the leader boards for amazing rewards.
1. Requirements and Status: The minimum requirement to place your Family on the Leaderboard for a contest. The top 30 families on the leaderboard for each territory will win a reward for each territory at the end of each contest.
2. Your Family Score: The score of your Family for a particular Territory.
3. Your Contribution: Your contribution to your Family score for a particular Territory.

Once activated, an Amplifier Boost will multiply the contribution of all Family members for a maximum of 15 minutes.
The duration left and boost status will be indicated by the Amplifier Timer on the home page module. The Boost status will be visible to all Family Members and can be purchased by anyone in the Family.

3. 6x Boost
Please note that the Amplifier Timer is active for a maximum of 15 minutes starting from the time you activate/purchase 2x Boost.
Purchasing subsequent higher boosts (4x and 6x) will NOT extend the Amplifier Timer.
Ok sorry if this sounds stupid or something as I'm not in a family ATM but would like to know just for personal reference is this like a combination of the 3 types of boards events AKA Job Board, Ice Board and Fence Board? As I'm not in a family I'm just going off the post alone and nothing else.
ReplyDeleteThis is great if you are in a good family. Mine is worthless. Even family events, I am the sole player carrying everyone. How do you change families?
ReplyDeleteWell only a third of families will get the reward. The same families in the league will get them everytime. We are a small family (25), we do our best and 3/4 get gold on family tasks, We manage family ice seasons etc. BUT this looks like it will go against us and put us against more 'aggressive player' families.
ReplyDeleteI actually surprised Zynga aren't giving away RPs to the top 3 families as usual... this event is CLEARLY designed to feed the usual Top 3 script families (that ALWAYS win during Family Ices events) So, to NOT be giving them RPs is rather unusual... but I'm sure they will appreciate the boost in Skill Points... I just wish Zynag would stop having to put all of us through the agony of having to see these top 3 families "win" all the time and just give these families the rewards without any event... just give them the rewards and let's all be done with this insanity... another ridiculous script event for the huge script abusers *sighs* Will they never learn??
ReplyDeleteyup more useless crap designed for the power house cheaters and credit card players...not gonna try...just playing the game if i get some thing fine if not who cares.no use crying ,your not gonna beat a cheater ar cc user...and if you dont use scripts you will get no were in the game,,,so stop whineing about scripts and learn how to use them.now go change your diaper,get your bobbie and stop friggin crying.
ReplyDeleteWe had already removed a number of inactive players but thanks to the MWLL heads-up we managed to lose three more ahead of the start. Even so I am concerned at the 8-hour timer event as what about families - such as ours - whereby members are spread across ten time zones? Zynga should surely factor in such variations as well as numbers on roster.
ReplyDeleteWe're a small family and we don't use scripts. We're placing in the top 30 each run (so far). So it really depends upon your league. No, we won't get any SPs from this, but it's nice not to be locked-out of the loot aspect for once.
ReplyDeleteNo family experience?
ReplyDeleteThis event is for auto levelers & have to be very lucky if your in the top 30 , I myself only average 480 for energy jobs 460 for stam & 5 pinkies and for 10 of my family don't even read what is going on just ignore it :(
