Xbox Fanfest Registrations Open tonight (9PM EST / 6PM PST) - First trivia event tonight (25k limit)
- Thread starter AppleBlade
- Start date
They cancelled the trivia because the app platform behind the scenes crashed, which is why the trivia link routes to YFBIL now (which is not an active session, hence the "does not have access to join" error message, because there's no directory of valid users).
I could always get the Ori DE since I never upgraded to it.
Same here. I didn't actually participate in the first place, but you got my contact deets Microsoft. Let's do this.
The losers are the ones who left before the first hour or maybe they were the real winners all along :(
They had an expectation of having 25k people to participate, there were only around 4k people that actually showed up, and yet the game still crashed continuously after each round. Great job!
just wanna quote myself from the start of this adventure I went on with you all. my new friends. lol
I'm sure you're right but I was getting that error message from the beginning. Heck, I'm still logged in and just refreshed the page.
The phil spencer segment is going to be a pre-recording of him just saying thanks for showing up isnt it
They could do everyone that at least participated in any poll even the intro one that didn't have points. That way people that didn't bother to show up don't win.
It's not that late on the West Coast.
Its all a part of the plan if you read the email invite.
Each round will contain 7 questions that must be answered correctly and answered fast. Thousands will be eliminated after a stage is complete. Only the fans with the highest accuracy and speed will move on to face harder questions. But, even if you're out of contention for the grand prize, it would be wise to stick around and play along with fellow fans. You just never know when exclusive perks or surprise appearances might happen.

Eh, Its a semi private event. I don't think the impact of this fuckup is that powerful.
I feel like I'm too deep into this to go back to sleep now. It could still continue any time now, right? Who am I kidding, but still, there's a tiny sliver of hope left lmao.
its jumped now it says 69 people then it goes to 3849 then back down every few seconds.
Felt like i had a solid chance to win the clip so sorta a bummer
I think it'd be funny if he showed up on screen like the theatre scene at the end of Inglourious Basterds, and said "that's what you get for not pre-ordering my console. enjoy what's left of your evening." and then flipped everyone the bird.
Yeah, I think the fact that it was a limited event might be what saves this from being more embarrassing for them, lol.
" You just never know when exclusive perks or surprise appearances might happen. "
you NEVER KNOW!
Give us those exclusive prizes. The real Fans of this Fest
I'm a REAL Xbox fan sticking in until the end, when Big Phil announces that he's sending everyone a signed copy of Brute Force

OP
Sending official updates/info via chat that they expected to have between 5-25K people in, without the ability to pin that message, isn't a smart solution. They're trying to get around it by spamming their own message over-and-over (even with just the 3K people), and it's clearly ineffective.
I asked what their favorite Sony and Nintendo game were. Let's see if it comes up. lol
