Surprise! Here we were all waiting for RM12 or DL16 to rollout and it's... SB8. Frankly I think they missed the boat on this and should have gone with a TL8 instead. That could have shaken up all the different tiers of the game, instead of just introducing slowdown faster to mid-game. IMO, we're saturated enough with slowdown effects as it is. Ah well, it is what it is. I imagine some folks will be excited for an SB8. I do kind of like the idea of giving it out through an Arachnos event though. Hopefully the tasks aren't too cumbersome, but I probably wouldn't have ever played my Arachnos without this prompt and it does add some novelty. Doubt I'll end up using the SB8 though; my SB16 is already at the bottom of my upgrade list, but I'll still take the time to acquire it. After all, it apparently could be necessary to compete in the next derby for the next piece of equipment.

SB16 is an excellent weapon and I use it all the time. I doubt I will use the SB8 at all. Still, the resources on the way to the SB8 is nice.

Someday, I'll get around to my SB16, but it seems better for CPC than tourney. Right now I'd rather save for the next round of burst weapons. Once I get a 32EN mech I'll probably sink resources into mine. |

Yeah, I play CPC more often than TDM, so that makes sense. When I play TDM, I tend towards either RG builds or RM12 builds.

So I did the math and the overall rewards from this Arachnos event are 137,000 credits, 100 A-Coins, three 2x boosters, 210 Arachnos bps, and 1 orange crate (plus the SB8). Credits seem decent and A-Coins are nice, but compared to key conversion rates and this being a 14 day event, not sure it's all that generous. Mainly it seems like they are experimenting with a longer event format. To follow up on something ⓣⓡⓘⓒⓚⓨ48 said in a different thread, hold off on any resource tasks until the end, in case there is overlap between tasks (like upgrading Arachnos). Also Fortune Key tasks can wait til next week when Vault Blitz returns. Despite there being 70 tasks, you can only fail to complete five of them if you want the SB8, and you know there will be spend real money and upgrade Arachnos' rank tasks you'll probably want to take a pass on. |
