If this event didn't force me to absolutely halt everything going on in my city, I wouldn't mind it. Old events you could do both progress and the event on the side, but not anymore. More due to randomness then the stupid quest list they've chosen to go with this cycle.
- Can't complete provinces for fear of 'gain 7 relics'
- Can't do tournament for fear of 'gain 7 relics' or 'gain enchantments' etc.
- Can't collect anything for fear of getting that quest after you collect. T1's, gold, supplies, troops, all of it.
- Can't advance tech because my extra space devoted to 3 new T1s and 3 new WS (turns out barely needed them but I rush leveled them to level 20 after reading beta, so not deleting them now until I get teleport spells). I happen to be in between chapters so using the space has halted guest race development (hence making me tech locked).
- Forced me to level things I didn't want leveled up.
If it wasn't for 2 of the grand prizes I really want, I'd just abstain entirely. So as it is .. I guess I'm choosing doing the event over regular game play ... maybe that is their point of doing this, but for me it's only seen as frustrating. Spending less time playing Elvenar now and more on other games I like.
Still not sure what they are even trying to 'fix' other then make it more pay to play than it used to be.
SO.MUCH.THIS. Events shouldn't make you literally have to stop doing everything in your city. When there was a specific quest order, we could plan things out and still make progress in our city. Now all progress comes to a grinding halt, and with the frequency of events, that's just not sustainable.
