Hello gentlemen, I'm curious if anyone is actually planning to complete the 2nd task chain for the end prizes. I only plan to get my Aphid so I can complete my Aphid Jesse set(currently have 3).I feel like I'm wasting a good opportunity to not get the Orkan so I can own the 4th Orkan, not really sure if it's worth the chores and time, to be honest.
The win tasks are the most difficult time-consuming tasks and make me lose interest in the game.The first task chain drained me out doing repetitive boring chores over and over, however, the Bulgasari proved to be worth my time and it's part of my Light-medium CQC hanger.
My current hanger in Silver 2 going up(1373 Legendary Pilot) is:
Orkan lv7/ Fujin lv8 (only paid for 1 orkan, 1 from Halloween and one from Xmas.
Aphid lv5, Pinata lv5 / Jesse lv4 (bought 3 Aphids for $26 bucks and got Jesse for free using the FB dummy account method)
Taran lv8/ Bulgasari lv7
Storm lv5, Pin lv5/ Hover lv7
Focusing on getting Jesse to level 7, the next Aphids and then Storm.I also have an lv6 Doc sitting on the 2nd hanger, was planning to get the 4th orkan and slap it on the Doc and I apologize for getting off topic.

I rate both Storm and the Hover as the two worst things you can get regarding components so, no I wont bother completing the tasks this time

I apologise, I had to fix up the whole post and it took time because my WiFi is having high latency due to: www.arnnet.com.au/article/630803/local-latency-looms-after-subsea-singapore-cable-link-goes-down-again/I still manage to play the game somehow, despite the horrible connection I'm having. Let's see I've dropped out of say 50 games or more because when the connection drops, the game just freezes saying "Reconnecting" and yet I'm not put in LPQ. Still playing like normal now with 75% chance for the connection to drop randomly. |

It was so dreadful getting to the Bulgasari 5/5 task. I pushed myself to get there and it was not fun at all. The event is supposed to be fun and creative, but this is just the same thing as doing house chores and now I know Pixonic's time sink tactic, I won't fall for it the 2nd time. |

I think i will go up to the orkan,and not a match further,i got 3 storms allready which i won from the chests and bought maybe 2 1000 wsp deals,i got 5000 hover components,and will buy the rest if not winning them from chests too,because i plan to put shocktrains on him,but its not a priority just an idea,i cant say 100% that hover is that bad because i dont own one,but hear what owners have to say about him.Even Adrian Chong who did a great job to advertise this bot,in the end said that this bot has no place in the meta.So if you dont mind waisting time,resourcess and money on leveling something you wont use later in the game go for it,i probably wont

Yes I'll have to apologize i didn't read the original post correctly! I would actually change my vote to ill get whatever i get through normal play not due to the good reasons you give for not doing it all the way through but i have no need for Storms or Hover Bot. |

I think I will go up to the orkan, and not a match further, I got 3 storms already which I won from the chests and bought maybe 2 1000 wsp deals, I got 5000 hover components, and will buy the rest if not winning them from chests too, because I plan to put shock trains on him, but it's not a priority just an idea, I cant say 100% that hover is that bad because I don't own one, but hear what owners have to say about him.Even Adrian Chong who did a great job to advertise this bot, in the end, said that this bot has no place in the meta.So if you don't mind wasting time, resources and money on levelling something you won't use later in the game go for it, I probably won't I've tried Hover with 2 shock trains, it performs pretty well on open maps like Canyon, where you can keep a distance of 500m and use the Glide ability to get closer or lose the distance between you and the enemy. I've knocked out 2 Taran Fujins, 2 Griffins (one RBD and one PDB), Cossack (one salvo of ST and he was left crippled with 5% HP lol), Zenit+Nori Natasha, Taran Rogatka, Thunder/storm Boa and 2 Thunder/Pin/Tulumbas Golems on the map Canyon in domination mode and I only had to spawn in Hover for the whole match by keeping a distance of 500m. When the Griffins tried to close in on me by jumping, I just hovered even further back to find cover to lure them in while I reload my stock trains. I still don't like 2 shock trains because it's not fun as using Taran, Orkan, Thunder and Storm. What I mean is with CQC weapons you feel a rush coming when you brawl face to face with an enemy bot. I don't feel that rush with shock trains, just sit at 500m, aim and shoot :/. I've put away my 2 shock trains away in my 2nd hanger and decided to stick with CQC weapons like Taran, Orkan, Storm and Aphid. |

I like the daily tasks lower level players have. Instead of my win X games, kill X bots and liberate/capture X beacons they have tasks that require a specific bot or bots (like kill x bots with Vitjez, Boa or Golem)
Why not bring this to the task chain, make the needed counts lower but force players to use different bots/weapons.
Didn't try to do last task chain, because I find it very boring, i'm playing like it's not even there this month. Will not do the next.

I was thinking of getting the Stalker too, but the Trebuchet prize before it isn't worth 24 wins or time. I've decided to stop at Aphid, so then I can play at my own pace and not worry about the timer. Whatever else I get afterwards is extras. I will sell both trebuchet and trident if I end up get them of course. |

If it wasn't Trident, Ancile, Rajin... AGAIN before you get to the main event prizes. And just something different and useful. Then YES, I'd be gung ho about it, maybe even excited. People that've been playing the game to experience a few events have plenty of these items.
I really wish Pixonic would change this crap. I'm going to do a feedback essay to the ingame help option under the menu. You'd think this would be a no brainer instead of doing xmas themed decorations to the maps.

Gotta grind Ag for upgrades anyways. So yes, 2nd event chain will be taken care of. Free items folks. Some people think Storms are not worth grinding tasks? Well, you grind primarily for Ag and get Storm for free. You just need to grind alot. But as said, one would grind anyways when there would be no events. So there's no extra time needed to get 2 Storms or a Hover. In the end it's all free stuff that we get shoved up our exit doors. I participated in all events so far and have been able to accumulate stuff that I would not own without events. And all the unneeded items can be sold for upgrades.

I will grind through the Orkan and then just play normally from that point on. I'm still new on Android so most of the prizes are somewhat useful.

Even if you have no need or interest in some or all of the prizes, by simply playing as usual rather than ‘trying’ to complete tasks, you should check tasks and get the silver and awards, the latter of which you can sell for more silver. And by playing you are also able to complete the usual daily tasks that give awards, and you can also use ads and roulette to get more free stuff, so it is helpful to have two devices - one that you play on, and one that you activate ads, grab awards, and change hangar with.
In the end, for such a person it’s all about the silver for upgrading the stuff you dig. You dig?

I agree...mix up the prizes a bit. How about a Gekko? Or like 1000Au or something like that? |

I could use some extra free silver right now, currently broke after purchasing 2 Natasha, 2 Leos, 4 Griffins, 2 Pattons, Golem and Vityaz with the 45 million silver I saved up through the 1st chain. I currently have 5 million silver, I need more for upgrades and I'm not really motivated to move past the Aphid task considering how dreadful it was to do the 1st chain. |

I'll probably get as far as the Stalker. I don't have one yet and I'd rather save my WSP for weapons. I don't have the time to get past the second bot, couldn't even get the Trident this time. Just 18 more wins to go. I do like getting the bots with special skins. The Koi Leo will be nice and easy. I love my Mummy Leo. It's a great platform and a humorous paint job.

I like Pixonic's half-assed attempt at making skins unrelated to the event. Sandstorm stalker and Zen Koi Leo skin?? I thought this was a Christmas event and yet Santa or his skin is nowhere to be found in this event. |

The people who come from doing the 1st chain will feel Deja Vu again when they do the 2nd chain. I don't mind grinding for Single player games where it's at my own pace, but this game nope!. |
