[Coolade]

the loading times are too ridiculous to make playing challenges worth anyones time.

Are we being given the difference between the reward and the cost or the sum? Because it seems like it subtracts the cost, then if I win, it gives me the reward but I don't get back the cost. So basically, if you spend 100 and win 100, there's no net profit.

Also, I retried a challenge two times, successfully, but then the third time, I exited and it didnt give me any reward at all.

That is exactly what has been happening to me.

Surely this is a bug and not the way the mode was intentionally designed?

Otherwise, there would be no point to risking stubs if you have no possibility of a positive return on your investment.

Trying to create my own CC and it's just not working. The only objective is to get the save. I have the situation set up and when I go to "prove yourself" i complete it but I still can't publish it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I had fun creating a Community Challenge. I re-created the Buckner play from the 86 World Series. All you got to do is field the grounder to 1st and step on the bag to prevent the runner from 2nd scoring. You would think anyone could do it! Not sure how you find the challenge, if you can look it up by user name my ID is aukevin. I think I titled it "It gets through Buckner". I created Buckner and Stanley on the Sox, and Wilson and Knight on the Mets.

Can you check the success % for the Challenges in question? Not saying it isn't a bug, but...The reward was designed to be dynamic based on the success rate in order to prevent overly simplistic Challenges being created to allow for the "farming" of STUBs. So, the reward will drop and approach the cost as the ratio of attempts to successes approaches 1.

I just did one labeled "Beat the Best" as Reds 100 for entry and 100 reward, started with 931 and still at 931
