What You Need to Know for the End of the Goblin Event!

[llamakiller]

So this event was huge dissapointment due to the fact if didnt use plat or spend gold on energy you couldn't save enough tokens to get the good stuff 7hours waiting for on energy wth now i got 82 tokens didn't have enough time. to save for weapon cause 95% of the time got lowest boss so one token each time

[deadcobain]

Time to shake off the major payne goo and look forward to bug fixes and then a fun new improved event

Um please all pack your blighted vanities away, maybe they will be worth billions one day. You don't want the sunshine bleaching the value out of them.

Okay what I really mean is they're 'orrible and I'm tired of seeing them.

Onwards!

Pets! Gem upgrades! Ursoth!

ain't got no how whatchamacallit (kurt cobain)

I also ran a twink platoon, possibly an army, and I had a good time w/ the event, even only 1/2 aware of it to start. Course, maybe doing it the easy, free way is more fun and less stressful.

Payne was the only boss that was nominally more interesting than the rest. For all of them, just avoid poisons, red areas. For Payne, like Rare said, run him to one end, wait for his puddle, run him to the other end. Repeat. He's easy as long as he doesn't stand in a puddle. If you make a mistake and he does touch a puddle, run far away and he'll follow, preferably before he undoes all your damage. Keep the puddles on the long ends, or the edges, and you'll have lots of area to work in.

I looooooovvvvveeee the energy system... said no one ever.

[Worship]

You guys are complaining about energy.. when the answer is right here:

On the subject of energy, we know from Halloween and Tarlok's winter wrath event that without some mechanism to regulate the influx of items, they will be farmed to worthlessness. Item rarity is an important part of value. If everyone had Arcane and Mythic items, they wouldn't have any special value. So too with event items. We are working hard to find the right balance for the game and appreciate your continued feedback.

How to get rid of energy, without making people with energy kits angry: sts can look up every sale in the CS of energy kits, find the average price, and then allow players to liquidate them at that price.
Problem solved.

Lowered drop rates will regulate the potential flooding of event gear. No need to make players pay to play content.

Do the things I've said since day one: energy kits lootable from certain bosses. And stop making events accessible by lvl 7s, especially when you make prizes in related contests that are end game items. Events should be lvl 35+. I can't farm teeth on my lvl 15 for a reason...

[Rhaindra]

Whatever.. I m so boring with that event. Better I hunt lock or eggs than waste my time to get reward in token unreachable.

hi, the event was a good idea and a good event, but i think you should make this a little more accessible for the player that no have platinum, i understand that the platinum member should have more benefits; but at the same time it should be more attractive and easy to the other; i think that is unjust that a normal player can't be able to enter at the top players of the event. 7 hours to have each energy, 3 opportunity to play for day, 30 point max, is impossible to the common player make 12000 points at the event like the top 3 players or at least top 20 players.
I repeat the event is a great great idea, and was a very good event, but i would like that the next event was a little bit more democratic on this aspect.
p.s. A idea was that the event have 2 kind of top player: Platinum members, with his respective rewards and no platinum players with with rewards comparable with the platinum members. however tha principal idea is make the event more equitable for all.

[Uikuha]

At least, please change the energy system.. we will be happy.

Sorry my English

So Is It Safe To Say That Gyrm And Ironbite Are Discontinued forever

[cookiehunterx]

Tarlok was much better
That was happy hunt

[yasshh]

This is the best thing what happened during the event, it finally ended!

Another one coming bro.. Need to stack more balls

[ALlIsWell]

We don't like energy system but STS still goes against our opinion.Its unfair
Is that how you collect our feedback?


srsly for the 1st time i'm disappointed.

[Ansm]

ohh.. ok Thank you for the Info I wish It'll be Fun when the Ursoth's Assault Event comes! cause I am really excitteedd!

[Bigboyblue]

Everyone agrees that the energy system is brutal as it has been implemented. STS, make the next event enjoyable for the masses or risk losing them. You know what the current recommendation are for revamping the system. Put them into action and let everyone play. The revenue will still be generated by lb chasers. I would recommend better prizes for the top 25 and a real super prize for top 5. Should generate greater revenue by increasing the number of players that receive lb rewards.

[Mrwolfla]

They need the system to continue the game. They weren't making enough money from regular events and other things so they implemented this to create revenue. They do need to change a few things in it, like maybe having energy drop from other bosses, but they need it to continue making updates and events to the game that we all love and will play no matter the circumstance.

The current system is going to make them lose money, in the end.

If they needed money, they should have implemented things people actually want, and charged really high prices to unlock/buy them (extended character personalization, guild note, guild announcements, guild pvp room, 1v1 pvp room, guild bonus elixirs, more stash options, guild mail, assortment of plat function kits [respec, change face, rename], tiny reroll chance on crates, built-in minigames, etc etc).

There were so many better options, but they chose one of the laziest, and most ostracizing.

[Tendirin]

so fun thanks sts

It is very hard to say something against the vast majority of the forum members,
BUT
Let's calculate a bit (will be long, be warned).

During event you got for free
- 20 energy point (if you did not let it full and started in the 1st 7 hours)
- 14 tokens from daily.

I assumed at the beginning
- 14k gold for each energy point
- get 3 tokens/run as average *
This means I calculated 75 Goblin tokens for free => 1 ironbite + 10 extra **.
I mentioned to my guildmates that Ironbite EVERYBODY will have, there will be no value at all.

* Later it turned out that the average is much higher, like 5 tokens/run.
This is in line with vendor offer 25 plat = 20 token = 5 run.
Because you have to get more than 20 token for 5 runs, otherwise everybody just buy token from plat and that's all.

** Later also turned out that in the beginning 3 token/run was not achieved it was like 2 instead.

How I tried my best:

I need +30-35 (34 calculated) energy to have wild talisman which costs 476k.
I had 600k-650k so I can "afford" (PLEASE do not say that I am rich).

My best char is a rogue, so I buy a wild talisman for her, others will buy Ironbite.
I have 3 capped char (rogue, warrior and mage) + 1 twink rogue.

- At 1st day I got some extra energy point and everything worked a little better than calculated (bought and spent 8-10 energy).
Then I realized that wild talisman for rogue is far cheaper than 476k or even cheaper than cost of energy I still need.
SO I stopped using extra energy for capped rogue.
- At 2nd and 3rd day I just checked prices (and I was a bit angry of myself).
- I realized that everybody use rogue and mage char - so warrior talisman will be the most valuable.
- At 4th day I bought and spent 8-10 energy with my warrior - with gold tier guildmates.
because I heard that "Gold tier" has only chance to have 4 and 6 token boss (let's say 5 as average),
SO
- With my rogues (cap level and twink) I soloed - got 1st Gyrm egg.
- The wild talisman for mage became less that 200k so I bought one.
- At last day I realized that I could have both rogue and warrior wild talisman due to gold tier better yield AND some extra energy point I got.
- I fighed through with 4-5 extra energy to buy a talisman for warrior - meanwile I got my 2nd Gyrm.
- Started to solo rogue. BUT to be sure on solo (money gone) I opened from map and waste too much time.
- I got my 3rd Gyrm.
- Finally I was not able to kill last Payne due to event end. Boooooo

Results from Goblin event with 600k:
- 1 wild talisman for mage (bought for gold),
- 1 wild talisman for warrior (used goblin tokens),
- 1 goblin knife for rogue,
- 3 Ironbite (from mage, twink and the rest of rogue goblin tokens),
- 3 looted Gyrm.

This was my results, maybe different than yours. Maybe I was lucky with 3 Gyrms.
Maybe I started the finish (last 1-2 hours) a bit late but I wanted to see clear about energy I got due to time&loot.

The only negative effect that I have 50k-70k now :-/

[Rare]

The entire reason why they have energy is to limit how many rares drop! People would farm for Gyrm all day if there was no energy and Gyrm would be worth 20k instead of 750k+
The energy system is GOOD and SUCCESSFUL

You see, keeping items rare keeps the content fun. But wait. What if you can't play the content because you can't or won't pay. Where's the fun in that?
