    this is extremely subjective, and nothing can be gotten from it either if you don't even suggest anything

    Well, EU is more p2w, I don't want a free dragon mount. I never liked stupid rewards but I agree this event doesn't seem much. But I wanted to know about the boxes they were talking about, something about system message and all. I am not sure if it was CH fake news cause that happens a lot there ;)

    Isnt it the community manager's job to think up good events though.... I mean its kind of their job to make events that the playerbase like. They just seem so out of touch with what "good rewards" are at the moment. if people see "fireworks and a 7 day mount" then they arent going to do the event.
    When they have event with "good rewards" people farm them so much that the rewards become useless, and people complain that the events are broken. When they have events with "bad rewards" people complain that the events are no good and not worth farming.

    So, let's be clear: what are "good rewards" that won't be farmed to uselessness over the course of an event -- that will make everyone want to participate, but people who miss out not be permanently screwed by a messed up economy?

    I mean, I don't entirely disagree with what you're saying, but we need to go past rhetoric and actually be clear about what we want.


    (And, aside, people should not be misled when other publishers advertise events where they make it seem like you could earn big prizes like dragons, but it's really just a lottery with 0.1% chance or less. Realistically, publishers are not going to give away new headlining cash shop items when they're brand new in any sort of meaningful quantity; it's just bait. "You could win...")

    I think the kyras+mongos worked pretty well tbh. It didnt make materials completely useless and it gave people a chance to get consumables or costumes. It also actually made people run dungeons. And for AV thats prety important when theres barely any LFGs normally.

    Well, just saying, but... Mongos have been a frequent target of complaint about imbalanced rewards and completely tanking the consumable market. The BAM aspect of these events have also been frequent targets of complaints about rewards.

    That said, I don't think they will do something big like Kyras/Mongos right at this time if they want to save something for May.

    We just finished 2 weeks of Kyra and another short Mongo event. We had another big mongo event before that. Now you want more Nootiful?

    There was a post last week about how great EME has been doing, and I agree. A free month of elite, a 17th character, tons of events, CM's that actually respond on the forums.

    If we go back and look at those mongo threads, you won't be one of the ones complaining about too many materials and not enough gold will you Nootiful? You won't be one of the ones complaining a few weeks ago there was nothing left to do because mongo gave everyone too much right?
  • CassandraTRCassandraTR ✭✭✭✭✭
    edit: And triple drop is right around the corner... you want more??
  • BonbonnieBonbonnie ✭✭✭
    More mongos please.

    community manager thinks up events but its also our duty as players to come up with ideas and share them with our community managers. that way they can share it with people up the chain of command. if said people were to like the ideas they could implement them into the game one day.
  • LesbianViLesbianVi ✭✭✭✭✭
    To NA community:

    Event = Millions of Gold, full +15 gears, Dyad Crystals, OP inners with just scratching their nuts in a raid for 30 mins a day.

    I am glad that EME is not listening to community much actually. But as I said, we need some little rewards there for events like Easter event.

    Even the jackpot on 22nd is going to be bad. Spacecats said "I'll put cosmetics into the jackpot as well". then he says hes going to put "Shadowcat mask, frostlion mask and butterfly wings. That just makes the jackpot event worse.

    Jackpot was fine with just diamonds / spellbind / feedstock. The other crap just makes it a lesser chance to get the stuff thats actually worth it.

    Whatever is currently worth it would instantly lose its value if it was common in an event. The reason so many things aren't worth much is because of the frequency they appeared in events. A lot of high valued stuff have dropped in price by half or more. If anything, when it comes to cosmetics there should be accessories that people would actually use regardless of their value. Most masks simply aren't used for example.

    It may be helpful to make a list of the accessories that people actually like. I generally dislike almost all accessories, so I'm sort of a bad person to ask, but maybe there a handful that are generally well-liked.

    You know, I just see people with +15 gears, +15 scrolls and paid for boxes. Absolutely no game effort, Gold and all, event and all. Then these people claim they are good because they have +15 and are sitting at HW and troll others at guile and stuff. This is a bad reward causes, more toxicity, so I rather have peeps than toxic players in +15 gears. Not referring to everyone, nope but there some that can cause all that.

    So when it comes to events, I seriously like EME take this in to notice. Make playing the game rewarding not events. Not opening a way for gold to get everything, Nexon/GF are like that, we shouldn't be.

    i liked some of the older weekend event we had long ago.
    pvp 25 players, light up 100 camp fires, set off 100 fireworks and you got like 5 tokens that you could spend in a special store.
    or the achivement event for the moon mount.

    Am I'm the only one whos hunting these caimans because of Easter? Egg hunt? instead of complaining like the rest about the event if its good or bad? Not disagreeing with the main point that the rewards could be better, but i like to see events by their nature instead of "how much cash will this event will put in my inventory" mentality.

    Anyways, event last 4 days, so maybe Spacecats can do something about the rewards since it seem they are bothering a large amount of people. Leaving a suggestion here: Keep current rewards, and add to the reward pool Disco Ball (both consumable and permanent)
