I really want to take a minute to seriously thank NF for all the events this past month. I know I have seen a lot of negativity to them especially in regards to the last event. A lot of people need to take a step back and look at things a bit more realistically and seriously here.
I think the first event around gold was well done and was disappointed to hear Sparton say that it didn’t do very well. I was looking forward to more events like that because like I said in another post you don’t realize how much gold you need until you try to take advantage of some of events. Between upgrading all your talismans, powering up some toons for sacrifice, and dropping 100’s if not 1000’s of rare souls eats up a LOT of gold.
Then we had the corrupted fragment event which was for a good toon that can be utilized for some of the past missions which maybe some of the earlier players still have not cleared yet. Also, by making it in LOL in gave us a chance to get a lot of XP shards which would also help us for a later event.
Then we got the Brave New World is free event. Again, this served a dual purpose for some end gamers who can grind higher levels effortlessly since we now know some missions involve having the rarest level talismans equipped, this event allowed some people to try and grind out the Rage talismans with no investment except for time of course. Also, allowed some people to try BNW again without fear of losing SOT from crashes or difficulty.
Then we had the pumpkin sacrificial event which was probably the best event of the month. This allowed people to get missing special feature characters and to get a lot of sacrificial fodder to use in sacrifice again and again so we get plenty of souls and possibly skill shards to power up our new characters.
After that we got our arena event. I think the timing could be better instead of going partially across two weeks probably would have been better to put it across one full week. But I think they did that because of the timing of all events and wanted to give us a full 7 days instead of cramming it in until a Sunday reset which I can also understand.
Finally, the last event the Hallowed Eddie event which seems to create so much controversy. I know we are all Iron Maiden fans and Eddie is the reason we play this game. So, when there is a new Eddie I know we all want him as soon as possible. But you need to learn to take a step back and look at the event and probability for something. We have all seen these event souls enough to know what they are. They are just glorified rare souls that also allow G/A characters and an increase chance of select characters.
If you look at the stats in other posts and I am going to try to so some quick and loose math here for people. The chances of a 5* from a rare soul is about 3.5%. There are currently 20 5* characters you can get from a rare soul right now which means 0.18% chance to get a specific 5*. If you look at most increase chances I am betting at best they double the odds for Prisoner and Hallowed Eddie which means 0.36% drop. That means you’re are looking at one drop for about 280 souls. So, you can’t get 10, 20 and 50 souls and hope to get him. Heck you could get 300 souls and still miss out because RNG is RNG. I took one look at the event and knew I was not going to drop everything I had to get him, it wasn’t worth it to use up my saved up souls and sac fodder just for one toon I do not have.
Instead I decided to save my resources for a future event that will have better returns. I did decide to grind BNW to try and get the Zone talismans for the mission requirement and getting a Halloween soul every 15 or so levels made it a little more bearable. I didn’t get Hallowed Eddie and I wasn’t that disappointed because I didn’t expect him. Was my luck a little better than some, I think so, I got a couple 4*s and one 5* all dupes of course but just means I can use them for a future sac event which to me does seem to be the better events.
So, in closing I will again say there is almost no such thing as a bad event. The only one I was ever against was the Magus Undead Rescuer event. An exclusive character should not be tied to an event that needs an unfarmable resource that basically makes it pay for this character. Hallowed Eddie is not exclusive if you did not get him in this event there will be more and plenty of chances to get him. If they did make him exclusive I can’t imagine the unholy hell NF would have unleashed and I probably would side with a lot more people if that were the case.
Remember events are for everyone beginners and end game players alike. If an event does not suit you, no one is forcing you to spend anything for this event. Move on, wait for another one, it seems like there will be plenty more in the future. We literally had an entire month of events and I want to thank NF for constantly keeping this game as engaging as they can.
