Event Recap

Introduction

Hello everyone,

this Wikipage will be serving as means to present the Results of the Fall 2019 Post-Event Survey, as I feel that Reddit is a bad platform to convey both Text and Images as Part of the same contribution.

A total of 503 Surveys have been filled out and I am very grateful for everyone that participated, as well as those who spread it in their various communities. Submissions have been closed as of 2020/17/1 15:34 CET.

I will be presenting my own analysis shortly, but to those interested, you can download the raw CSV containing all the questions and answers here (link). If you just want a quick and dirty, uncommented look at what google survey spews out, you can take a look at this imgur-gallery. (link)

Survey Feedback

I have received a good bit of feedback concerning the survey (some of formal/design nature, others concerning the contents), which in turn has lead me to re-evaluate some Questions:

• Questions 41, 61: "If you did E5H, what was your reason to do so?" and "How do you feel about Friend Fleets as a mechanic as a whole?" were perceived as loaded and will therefore be omitted from my Analysis

• Question 13: "Which of these regular enemies did give you the hardest time this Event?" by itself is rather poor as it usually is not the enemy itself posing the Problem, but rather their placement on the map (boss/preboss/first node etc.).

• No Options concerning pre-clear farms

• To few questions with "other:" Option with textbox to fill in

• Reward-Evaluation Questions were outright horribly ordered

• Question 62: "Do you think the difficulty divide between Main Operations and Extra Operations was intentional?" explicitly states that there was a difficulty divide (on my perception). While there is an Option to negate that perception, a sour aftertaste of framing remains.

Page 1 generally had two purposes: To get the rough overview over the Event and to be able to compare how representative this survey is compared to Database and Official Data. It also allows me to filter specific Questions by Demographic later.

Let's start off with Questions 1,3,4,5,6,7,8: Event clear and the difficulties chosen on each map compared against official Data (official KC Twitter) and Database submission (Tibot Twitter). Obviously, our sample size is significantly smaller than both of those.

Conclusion: The clear rates on a per-map basis are higher than the official one. This should be fairly obvious as the people filling out this Survey are more likely to have higher engagement in the game. Difficulty chosen on E5 on this survey is higher than the official tweet suggests (with Easy and Medium being equal), likewise E6 was cleared on mostly Medium and Hard in this survey instead of an even Hard-Medium-Easy split as the tweet suggests (unless our Casual percentage is way higher than the official one, but all other Data suggests otherwise).
