I find myself starting to pull away from the game with this TERRIBLE EVENT. I could barely get myself to log on yesterday expecting more INSANE quests. Like others said there should not be 6 toolboxes EVER if it's random. Likewise the idiotic produce 67,000 marble unless it is a static quest list. It is just wrong to assume everyone will just "cheat" by using tons of instants for ASLL the nonsense quests. Your calculations require people completing 10-20 quests a day to evolve 1 or 2 bears. S basically it just who wants to WASTE a ton of instants constantl;y. Total GARBAGE event!!!
Well, I agree with you that there are major flaws in some parts of this event. It's been documented almost to death, the various and continuing frustrations players are having. But that said, it's not totally awful, just mostly... LOL
So total garbage, I can't really agree with you on that, I struggled and managed to get one brown placed at the cost of my city's over-scouting (which was already over the line).
Probably the one reason I'm swayed to thinking better of this event is the Brown bear at level 10 has transformed my fighting army to new realms with the liberal usage of time boosts and supply boosts. A one time usage has given me over 340 squads. I've detailed out my experience in the Brown Bear thread.
Yes, it's a one time type experience, but it's a hell of a one time. Events will have me looking for more time boosts in the future.
I also like the fact its only 3x3 and not the 4x4 that seems to be the norm for prizes lately.
If you can get it, it's good... the problem is, you have to experience this event in all its flaws and aggravation.
I'm sorry everyone has had to experience this... I am happy to see that INNO finally posted an update.
Well, now it's time to heal up my city and move forward again.
