It is nice that yes, it's an event we do for free and don't have to spend money to do, but it is kind of a slap in the face to the community to purposely make a prize like that 99% unattainable. Events based on RNG are never really good events. No matter how perfect you are in participating in the event, it makes almost zero difference because it's all RNG, and that's the problem with this event.

I'll make one addendum. RNG based events that you have the option to grind for. I was completely fine with those because you could participate AND/OR grind. You weren't bound by some arbitrary limit, only what you felt like doing. Everyone could win if they put in enough work...

But sadly, they've moved away from any kind of grinding event, except for ones so tedious that they're hardly worth doing in the first place.

I'm actually fairly upset by this event. The wording of it kind of screwed me and a friend over.

"Clear any Shadow Mission to receive 1 Warm Energy per day. You can do this a maximum of once per day.
Use four (4) Warm Energy (one per day) to receive Kenny's Reward Box.
After collecting four Warm Energy and receiving Kenny's Reward Box, "

We both thought that you could only do one incubator per day and you use all four energy at once, not use the energy once per day. So now we're three days behind... Why is there an arbitrary limit on the warm energy when you can only get one each day? It doesn't help we were mis-lead by being unable to put the energy in it the first day because we were in a shadow mission and gave the "You cannot do this" popup.

You can miss 3 days and still get all the reward pets. You use 4 warm energies (on 4 different days) to trade in for a pet 3 times (so 3 pets over 12 days). We have exactly 12 days left (if you're counting today) so as long as you don't miss any more days you'll get all your rewards!

And while I am grateful for that. It shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. These events are just having more and more un-needed limits and restrictions piled onto them, as I said in my last post; I am just baffled there is a redundant limit on using the energy.

The only people it hurts are people that for some reason forgot to use the energy (I.E being overwhelmed with the sheer number of tasks to do each day), or for people that were mislead by the text and ingame prompts.

Without going into a rant. I'd like to add my thoughts into this.

I'm not a fan of the intentional tedium. The bug allowing for extra missions caps out (you could only have 12 active at one time) and if you had a mission that you couldn't take, you couldn't reset your lists. And your pets could only go on so many before resting
It was self regulating. And the rewards had a chance to fail, ontop of several layers of RNG to begin with.

Along with the design of slowing player progress by making them compete directly for resources between players instead of the typical "grind vs buy" tactic that has been used before. Grinding isn't an option for a vast majority of the playerbase,and the oil having -no- direct way to grind.

There was a clan solely monopolizing the fur pelts earlier. Every single channel had someone mass farming the rabbits, with very few they didn't take from anyone in the area. Then some of the members of said clan laugh about how much money they were making from the auction house.

A competetive market doesn't really exist. People aren't willing to lower the price of their items that much, usually by a single coin. And then -only- sell them at a fixed price. Look at how much hate the Treasure dungeon event had because of people complaining about "lost profits" at items gouged out from their artifical rarity. Take a look at old items from the dragon raids. Most of which are more expensive than current materials.

I said I didn't want to go on a rant so I'll cut short, but the "short term" is going to harm the long term. Waiting month(s) for people to get tired/done with pet houses to try to buy the materials is just upsetting. Most people already come back for events every month, why do we need an artifical timer on something that clearly works as-is?

Are you fricking kidding me...? Why? If it will have same darn rewards i ain't doing it anymore... Dye Event is another story though.

Why this community is obsessed over this event only??? There are dozens of events, but i never see anyone begging something like Meowbinogi. Or just anything else.

I miss the halloween mansion event. One of the few events where you actually DO something, and everyone seems to hate and insult it into the ground...
