    RoR event - mid game rewards, end game reqs

    All difficiluties cost same 24 entrances essences :/
    Longer progress bar, but shorter event than last time
    Fatal difficulty needs about 600 runs to finish progress + 600+ runs to farm entrances - if 1 run for solo mid game with farm entrances is 6min , its totally 60hrs

    All top tier players have JoR , but mid game have almost no chance to get it from event.

    Another ruined event

    I think some events are for players who are already level 100 and have the appropriate equipment.
    And if not at level 100, but at least at a fairly high level and always well equipped.

    Frozen shield event is worthless. Only mini bosses give progress. Bosses and mobs don't give any progress, so stupid

    We should receive more code to make us up for this... what about that DSO?

    It's not a bad idea and maybe they have thought of the same thing.

    1. Not sure what you did to the RoR event bosses & but I can't even do Merciless solo, not even close. I'm using stronger essence, but still struggling with some of the bosses on Infernal. I had hoped to finally get the JoR this time, but don't see that happening because I can't do groups with the insane lag. The majority of rewards are horrible to. If these are an upgrade for the increased progress bars then I'd seriously hate the see what they where originally!

    2. Also, way too many frigging events running concurrently!!! I get that you're hoping to force people into buying the event cloaks, but the majority who buys them would likely buy them anyway. You piling multiple events on top of one another, especially during the holidays, is too much unless maybe you're a kid or have zero-life requirements except to play Drakensang.

    3. Give more in-game info for crafting items in the progress bars! We shouldn't have to go searching the forums or other places online just to find info that should already be in the game! You could add it like the tooltips when you hover over the item. A good example is where I focused on completing the BigPaws portion of the event first since the rewards looked better (for me), so I didn't finish the first 2 Kranparus events because I figured those pieces made another mount or something useless to me. If I'd known they where needed to craft that jewel then I would've focused on that. Now I have everything except the two of that first piece from the first couple events.

    Totally agree.
    I am 1 year player. I could play winter event on Infernal and even merci (the boss took too much time) on solo, but here, in rocket event I can only fatal... and need help from stronger player that almost no one playing this because the cost of tickets (24 per enterance).

    Maybe you need stronger gear for infernal.
    If the rewards suck, don't think about it, play to pass the time without necessarily expecting a valuable reward.

    As for people with zero-life or kids who have time, don't think about them.
    Think for yourself, play every now and then and as I said before without expecting anything of value.
    Because if we always or almost always expect valuable rewards, most of the time we could be dissatisfied.

    The baby machines in this event have always been tough to kill (lightning build can help) but this year the genius:
    - Enhanced the defensive attributes of the Machine Babies in Professor Jullov's Laboratory map.
    - Increased the amount of traps in Professor Jullov's Laboratory map.
    - Increased the event progress amount and boosted the rewards (?!?).
    Since the runs needed to complete the event have doubled and consequently the times to do so and the times to collect the mixtures have doubled ALMOST NO endgame maxed character intends to waste time and resources (time, essences and infernal passages) for ridiculous rewards so the "new players" who need the "jewel of rage" have a very hard time receiving help. The genius could put jewel at the end of bar IV (80.000 progress)
    Also consider that the genius have put a new challenge of the Christmas event in the same period and this also requires a lot of time and runs to finish it.
    IMO I consider both events useless

    I consider events as something to be done very calmly and only after reaching level 100.
    To me nothing changes If an event is related to the continuation of the quests that are part of the game and without its completion it's not possible to continue.

    I will do the event according to the time I have available and if I don't make it, well, never mind.
    I will start again when I can and always playing calmly.

    I ran the Xmas event in Bloodshed solo, so it's not a gear issue.

    The point of doing an event is expecting something of value or why else would you waste time/resources on it?

    Since this is a feedback thread then it is relevant to point out the "zreo-life/kids with free time" issue considering how many events they're running at the same time. It's just a money-grab hoping people will buy attires to speed it up.

    I agree with you when a player think to get a major reward from an event.
    But, if there are no adequate rewards, well, never mind, I continue to play but without doing that event anymore.
    And about money-grab, even for that I agree with you.
