more Shocktrucks on the field? great ... So you're mad that they are making them more easily available for everyone to have? Or are you just saying you think they are OP and you don't want everyone having one, just the select few who have 10,000? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) This is too much a grind after the last grind. I'm tired of doing these grinds. If it was a once a year thing for their anniversary no problem. But now it's 4 times a year.

the grind was a challenge but not unreasonable. Unless one was a tanker starting in bronze, the grind was estimated, quoting from the excellent krebby : "Assuming a 50% win rate on win tasks, you will need to play 416 games to reach the Kumiho. Assuming an average of 3 bot kills per match on kill tasks, you will need another 304 games to reach the Kumiho. Assuming an average of 2 beacon caps per match on cap tasks, you will need another 362.5 games to reach the Kumiho. In total, I estimate it will take about 1,082.5 matches to reach the Kumiho. Assuming your matches average 7.5 minutes, you're looking at spending more than 135 hours of in-match time, or more than 5-and-a-half days." Let's say you were very good or lucky, let's take 10% off that: so, 1000 games in.. what was, 2 or 3 weeks? "unreasonable": it doesn't mean what you think it means ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Let's also not forget that you now have TWICE as long to complete it. If the event tasks stay the same and you don't lolligag, you can get it done. I'll be seeing much more single shocktrain builds, Bulgasaris and Hovers after this event is over as opposed to Kumihos. We only had 2 weeks during the Halloween event, so 4 weeks is gonna be a piece of cake for me.

Wins are the hardest, but on the caps and kills, the numbers you have there would be the minimum, would routinely get two or three those numbers per match. It’s not easy, no argument, but it’s doable if you set your mind to it.

I don’t like the weapon concept from the beginning, since it ruins teamplay. the weapon does not make any pseudo-sense. the best would be eliminating it from the game, but I guess it’s too late. I remember earlier polls before its development where most of us opposed the idea, and youtubers delivered their concerns to Pix, to no avail... not that it can do much as low-level single weapons, since it works best in triplets. still, more of them on the field I afraid just add to the annoyance, frustration, and boredom side of the game, rather than fun and excitement,

Pix usually works things out when it comes to things being OP. Shocktrain and Haechi are both being changed in some way this release and they are the only things in the game considered OP.

No way those 4 items are actual event prizes The whales have bought them by now, players have spent more money (gold, components). If the biggest issue is dwindling player numbers, this could be desperate pitch to keep players from leaving. I agree with this statement and another which stated that BoT is out Nov 25th. Pixonic will now have a serious contended and alternative to their game. I think we have all seen apps die after a worthy and perhaps, perhaps, more fair game appears. (Rumor - Pix owns some of BoT BUT I have no idea if that is true.) Regardless Pix has a stake in keeping gamer's put. Dash has sold out to anyone who really wants one and the same for Shock Train at least sales have slowed, again guessing. But they have proven deadly so give one away and extend an event and match the grind to 4 weeks not 2 and you keep folks in place as they will be too busy to jump. Afterwards...who knows but once you have invested that much time in new toys a player will at least stay to see how they pan out for game play. AND MAYBE, just, MAYBE, Pix will change it's tune and start to run a balanced game...but old habits do die hard.

My take on this: - I like events - I cant believe it is going to be that generous – whats the catch? - I think the 2x scourges and Kumis were generous during the last event. - Will the task chain be longer this time around due to the quality of prizes and the duration of the event? Or same length and Pix is being nice and encourages us to play more. - a? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ?? [??A] – there are very few people who got the rog, the tempest, the Kumi via the normal grind….. but heaps of people got those items using shortcuts. Don’t pay attention to that sort of maths as its irrelevant for most of thos who reached the top prize SuperHero is this confirmed?

In fairness to them a pair of scourge and a Kumiiho were decent prizes for the Halloween event, the grind was a challenge but not unreasonable. "The grind was a challenge but not unreasonable" - let me guess. No job, no social life, no GF? 2 out of 3 at least. Or just suspended for the duration of the event? Got a wife and 2 kids, in-between jobs as I was made redundant on 1/11/2017... so plenty time on hands while looking for a new job.
