25000 runs with key dungeons too high.

[Puntwothree]

I have not been able to play more than 10 minutes in a row. When you combine that with the 10 sec wait between battles (on top of the 30-90 secs of loading) and that we are getting new data randomly with 0 warning, I'm honestly shocked players are still opening keys.

Earlier I was hoping for either an extension of the event OR a lowering of runs required. Now, I can't see this working without both the extension AND the decreased requirements.

I understand that servers can have increased stress while everyone is stuck at home, what sucks is that events don't seem to care and it almost feels like they were structured for virtually no server load expected.

It almost sounds like you want the challenge to be easier so the rewards are easier to obtain. That can't be it, though...

But if it were, I would be tempted to agree with you. :-p.

I think I might be one of the few who thought the challenge wasn't that bad. 120 runs per member per day can be done with 2 or 3 keys a day.

But those first 2 days were a complete mess. I'm all for a challenge, but there is a fine line between challenge and insurmountable obstacles.

They even multiplied by 3 the break time between keeps... to slow down progress

However, if you skip the Ed. the other rewards are all very achievable with much, much less effort.

99.5% of the player base will be excluded from the top Event reward as-is, but 99.5% of clans should be able to get at least a Viking Cosmic and a couple other goodies. Maybe the lesson is that it's OK to skip some challenges in order to save your ironite and regroup. (I'm not saying I'm happy about the idea.)

There should probably be some small consideration from the Dev. team for the re-introduction of the 10-second timer and the disconnect issues. Due to disconnects, the most precious resource we're likely to lose is Keys. Due to the timer, we lose speed... maybe as much as like 20% depending on what Frontier we're doing. So, lower each challenge goal by 10-20% (timer increase) and throw us some master keys. That would be a nice gesture. It might not ultimately change the reality that some of us will lose our Ed.

You hit a point I was trying to make(and probably failing at) quite well. It's okay that not every one finishes events and challenges. The issue comes around when almost nobody finishes what the final goal should be.

Stretch goals are a great way to make things more accessible while still providing a challenge for higher end players. For instance if we needed 15k dungeons for Ed, 20k for the t3 cosmic and then 25k got us something nice like enough awakening mats to polish off maxing Viking Ed we might see more disappointment but less anger with how this event launched.

And I agree considering we are losing out on keys and time with both that 10sec and the server wonkiness a few keys could help ease that pain.

servers are shite but we will plod on

[Caesar815]

The game is nearly unplayable since the event started ... how are we supposed to reach 25k runs if we even can’t access the Game .... 🤬?

[Madrik]

I seriously think they either need to extend it by a considerable amount or cut the required runs back by a large amount and offer a care package in the form of missing frags..... you cant even run a full key FFS without either new game data or it bloody freezing with the perpetual spinning logo... can the devs actually release anything that friggin works correctly.

also keep an eye on your trooper badges ive earned around 700 badges today but they havent been added on

its a lot of runs yes 834 per clan member for a 30 person clan also its not really worth it for what you get a heroic legendery is sort of shit for the effort personally think it should be a viking ed soul for 25000 runs

If you manage the 25k, you'll have enough frags for Viking Invader Ed and the T3 Cosmic (the rest of the challenges other than dungeon grinding are all pretty easy). Without that 6,000 frags for the 25k challenge, you can't get the Ed. So it's kind of an all or nothing deal unless you want to spend money on frags.

834 runs per clan member is nuts, that's 120 runs per member, per day assuming all 30 members are fully active. Even the cheapest frontier dungeon is gonna cost you 1,200 SOT per day for that (Frozen Wasteland / Hard) and most will want to grind more expensive dungeons to knock out achievements etc. at the same time. The new Ed looks pretty good, but is he that good? I dunno.

Given there's been two days of really limited playability for most, it gets even harder tbh.
