Hi ,

Been playing since early beta , and have spent a lot of $ on this so far ....but this type of events are so so bad very bad. They made the same type as they did in smutstone , the reason i gave up on that game  (i was very very far ahead in that one to),  but with this type of events is is just not possible for me to stay relevant.  They are  major pay to win ,on  one hand ,  then the design is purely to just frustrate you in giving up or just pay a lot of $, f2p or  small casuals have no real chance after the first day maybe second day

So far :

Leaderboards -  already been populated as soon as you get 1 point ,  with bots who already have 25-35k points , maybe some players also in there ,  first  and second day of quests are easy and you could, if you are lucky , score a top 3. And with each passing day it is  harder and harder to get points

Timezone - timezones fuk u beyond measure,  event day ends 5 hours after i  go to sleep, so even if i somehow manage to  stay awake 1-2h its just not enough. 3rd day i was at 36k  in 1st place  next 5 ones where  20-26k range ,  next day i  was not even in top 10 .... 

Paywalls in daily Quest  - so far in the quest line  i hit 2 paywalls in the form of opening a Gold chest  of 50 gems  each , so 100 gems cost , that  would require 55 days  to get .

Order of tasks- the fact that the task are hidden to an extent you can not rly prepare that good for what is to come , also some task are so deviously put .
Example first task that involved  event cards :  task 12 :  Fuse and EVENT card ..  -task 13 -  Spend 17.500 milk tokens  - This was the first task So first they ask you to fuse an event card ,so you need to spend milk tokens to get the cards, the fuse it , then they ask you to spend 17.500 milk tokens again , so basically all those previous one just used where in vain(aka to force you to get more tokens)

Fusion of event cards - the requirement of fusing and upgrading event cards  that require  way more time that you basically are forced to lose  at least a day in ranking , so you cannot gain any ranking points been stuck there waiting ..or  you could pay the time skip 

Opening chests in arena-  while not so bad for me , with 10 chests slots, i bet it is rly hard for some if not most who do not have so many  bought slots . Imagine you have  some legendary chests or epic ones  with  so high timers , again you are stuck  without the possibility of opening a chest  for days..or ofc again pay for progress and unlock your next daily q to get ranking points

BUGS  -  i reached  quest number 67 - Possess ANY legendary card  fused 3 times   0/1  , while i have a lot of them the quest did not autocomplete, and i do not have any means to get  8 SAME legendary cards for 3 fusings on such short notice.

I rly wish they make events like they do in fap titans , its the only game  from all the ones i have played so far where i rly feel the events are  for everyone. even  f2p and casual can actually participate and win  or at least get most  from an event  with work and dedication , not been forced  by paywalls or  time stops of certain mechanics...... you play you get an award ..i think that should have been the purpose of the event .

Ofc  the devs need to make $,  as they should , you can  wrap it around  and have certain bonuses  , and other perks  for those who chose to pay, but let them chose  to do that. and make everyone's event  at least a bit more enjoyable.

Thank you

Hi

> Timezone - timezones fuk u beyond measure,  event day ends 5 hours after i  go to sleep

I'm in the same case, but the day needs an end, the event can't be fair.

> Fusion of event cards - the requirement of fusing and upgrading event cards  that require  way more time

You have to anticipate and do the research as soon as you get an event card. Imo, you are already at quest 67, it can't be said you have lost a lot of time

> BUGS  -  i reached  quest number 67 - Possess ANY legendary card  fused 3 times   0/1  , while i have a lot of them the quest did not autocomplete

Same problem here, stuck

I would add

Once reached quest 70, you have no way except buying (or beating boss but that would take forever) to get milk tokens and event ranking cups, so no more coffers to open. In 3 days I could have 4 golden coffers, probably 1 more tomorrow, so it is impossible to upgrade mythic card at max (btw it would require too many viagra for me ), perhaps it is wanted by game design.

well yes you can anticipate but still the time it takes , min 8h ,is to dam high for a daily rankings . 

That is the biggest issue atm top 3 ranking gets harder and harder , with each passing day , then impossible (without $ packs) once you finish the 70 quests as you said.

 So the game just keeps putting payblocks one after another in an event that should  be free to compete and complete with a decent amount of work for everyone and easy(very) for those who pay. It is rly not good business model at least in the long run. 

the real problem is the game have very little content. So it’s ‘balanced’ to squeeze out whatever $ they can from the players before they run out of stuff to do or hit a wall like arena 10 and quit. 

Given how hard it is to collect epic/legendary cards outside events, I’d say they are already being  ‘generous’. 

This kind of games have a tiny player base so they have to milk lots of $ from the few who play

btw are there no major paywalls from quest 13-67? I’m trying to plan ahead. Thanks 

It seems like a mistake or an oversight that there's no way to grind even small amounts of stars/milk from like arena battles or adventures.  Other games from this company, for world events, there was always a way for F2P people to at least be involved.  Yeah, you're not going to compete with the $$$ folks and win the top prizes, but you could always compete for the mid- and lower-tier prizes with some dedicated grinding.

Like maybe if arena chests dropped 10-20 milk/stars, and you could get a 1-5 milk/stars per adventure battle.  SOMETHING.

What's weird is this kind of makes me not want to spend $$$ on the game.  Because I'm calculating how much money I'd have to spend to get enough gems to accelerate all the milestones, and the prices (in gems) on everything is so high.  It doesn't seem worth it.

I understand they need to make money, but it's like no one at the company did cost/benefit analysis, just slapped some numbers and called it a day.

Also I assumed this was a new rollout, the first event of its kind, so I was tolerant of what I perceived to be flaws with the system.  The fact that there have been other events?  And they haven't made any changes to the structure, fixed any of the scaling / pricing issues, haven't addressed any of the problems?  Wow. 

Here's hoping they're reading this feedback and taking notes.  I'm trying to be constructive.

Couldn't agree more BP!
