I have mixed feelings about it. First I’ll say that the element boost thing is absolutely great. I haven’t seen my Cryokaizer slash through enemies so ferociously in ages, such a great throwback. I also finally have a use for Keeperdragon, and dang that thing can shred in this environment. Also cloners in general have been kind of strange in this event, spawning with full or almost full health and having UC caliber stats. Not certain, but I suspect you guys might’ve done it on purpose, which actually makes sense since virtually all of the cloning monsters are having a tough time coping in this meta. If so, I applaud you on that.
Unfortunately, a lot of us are not real crazy about the new reward system, specifically how stingy it is. Correct me if I’m wrong vkc, but the absolute maximum amount of Finns you can get in the entire event is 660(110 for each area), and after one look at the prices, that’s quite puny. Admittedly it is a nice opportunity for those who need tons of a certain ingredient, but the prices are so stupidly high, getting the 3 cryptamids or 3 vorabooks you badly need basically drains your entire stash of Finns, so you can’t get ANYTHING else except a couple measly gems or exp. I personally don’t even need any of the ingredients, so the opportunity is pretty worthless to me. Just look at Showdown Tower and Dungeon Challenge in comparison; they provide basically everything. 6 potions total, fruit, a handful of rare ingredients, rare gems, and a handsome sum of gems. Not to mention the acheivements for beating them provide even more gems. WT in comparison is just pathetic; by simply grabbing a few ingredients, or the 2 legend potions, or the 3 rare gems, or the big pile of gems, you basically forfeit everything else that’s available. A good deal of us probably feel a lot less willing to trek through all 246 battles for about 20% the rewards that st and dc offered. Next time please bring the prices down or give us more opportunity to earn money.
Speaking of which, the other big stink about this event is the sheer repetition and grind involved. Like I said, it’s a grand total of 246 battles, 41 per area including the intruder, and while a lot of them are fairly quick, the harder ones take a little more time, especially if you don’t have very many monsters of the appropriate typing. A lot of players just can’t afford to put that amount of time into the event, thus missing out on some of the little reward they can get from this event. Just reduce it to 5 battles per level, and increase the difficulty and ticket cost. Then it will be a more fun event, because of less grind and more challenge, which the event also seems to lack for those who have a fair amount of strong monsters for each element.
tl:dr, more rewards, more challenge and less grind please.
