EF18 Feedback

<< < (12/37) > >>

Drachetto:
EF18 was awesome! The hotel itself and the rooms are always great, and the usual entire convention organization, main events and panels are always really appreciable!

Special greets to:
+ The niceness and kindness of the staff members which I told with, thank you for that;
+ The niceness and kindness of the security men I noticed with me and other people, thank you for that;
+ Fursuit Lounge: Impressive the drying system and everything was well organized for the better fursuit dressing/undressing/resting (apart some very minimal problems that are being discussed in the relative thread).

Some things you could sort out next year:
- EF Wi-Fi: latest year was perfect, always very fast. Instead this year I noticed so much lag and many attemtps to connect;
- Dealers Den: there was always a long queue for the first room and so few people for the second, you should divide better famous and not-famous artists/vendors in the two rooms;
- Some drink prices: A large glass of water with ice... 5 euro! :'( Unbereable! Some large glasses of beer were cheaper (3 euro), maybe the next year also some non-alchoolic drinks (like CocaCola) could be cheaper like that;
- The Message-Board: I'm happy it was introduced this year, but the final position was far for the normal walking paths (aside one of the back elevator). So despite that many messages appeared all around the hotel lobby. Maybe next year you should use one bigger and put it in a better place, easy to see.

Early arrival was originally meant for setup and such. Which also includes the registration team.
We already had more people queueing up before the registration team was even completely there than we checked in on the whole first official day of the con!

Also, it happened again frequently that people happily waited in line at the first counter, ignoring the other open counters.


--- Quote ---- "Leitungswasser" 1 EUR. Sorry i am from Sweden and here it's more or less a custom that tap water is free. Getting room temperature water for 1 EUR was not a good deal.

So it's different here. What do you think the complaints would be like if they had Swedish prices for alcoholic beverages?

Ragear:
ok, most's been said and debated, for good or bad. Though I was not able to attend eberything I had on my agenda, I did not have a feel of having missed something. One thing I'd love to see: at i.e. confuzzled you have an overview of the furnames/ nicks which were going to attend. This gives you a good idea of whom to expect, and I think this would not be in violation of stringent german data protection laws? so, please make a survey of attending furs available. If data protection is an issue: include an opt-out/ -in button at the registration.
I am a bit short sighted and rely a bit on badges to not forget fur's names. Bigger print of the nick on the badges would be nice.
I just hope that all the wonderful con-ops furs just don't get mauled&eaten by the monster Eurofurence they've created...

Completely forgot - I fully second this. I feel like an ass every time I bend over, staring at someone's belly (or, for shorter people... you know what I mean) just to read a name. =)

Positives:
* My last time at EF, EF16 I was disappointed by the lack of seats in the lobby so I loved the fact that you had lower tables with chairs where the tall round tables were previously. Very good for socialising and artists :)
* Having free wifi. I know people had issues with it but it was free which really helped to keep in touch with other folk at the con via Twitter
* The EF app was a great idea. Looking forward to future versions with the various enhancements which have been suggested :)
* Was surprised that the lifts didn't break down in my experience while at the con this year. Very impressed considering my experience of EF16 :P
* Great job on the discounts and offers on nearby food places.  Certainly helped with variety with what to eat every day.  Next year, can we have a deal on the Venezia Gelateria Italiana Caffè place in the mall? :D
* Fursuit lounge has to have been the best I have ever seen.  Plenty of fans and some very innovative drying solutions.  Despite it's popularity, I always found somewhere to dry off my head.  Complimentary Febreeze was a nice touch too!

Negatives:
* Not directly the con's fault but I despised the pillows in the hotel rooms. They didn't provide any support at all and ended up giving me a neck injury which meant I had to miss the fursuit photo and dance.
* Again with the rooms, the shower temperature could not decide what it wanted to be. Is there a knack for getting it to work properly? Seemed everyone I know had similar problems with it going from freezing to scolding hot and back again.  To the hotel's credit though, the busted shower head I had when I first checked in was fixed within 10-15 minutes of me reporting it.
* Been said a million times but again, the soda and water prices were insane! €5 for a pint of Coke was bad enough but €3 for 200ml is really taking advantage of a captive crowd.  I realise you could go out and get your own drinks from Kaufland or whatever but when the beer is cheaper than the soft drinks, it's no surprise people drink themselves silly.  I appreciated the water in the fursuit lounge but could really have done with more places to get free water to re-hydrate.
* Would love to see more DJs getting the opportunity to perform like with ConFuzzled where the DJs have timeslots.  I found the BBF dance somewhat repetitive and lacking variety which having changes in DJ would allow.  Would also be nice for there to have been a dance Friday night after the concert if possible.
* Security on doors seemed to vary widely.  I was quite concerned with random members of the public (not con goers) popping in to the fursuit lounge and elsewhere.
