Disappointed with cupids portal

**Derezzzed** · 03-04-2015, 05:16 PM

Im pretty disappointed with the portal, this could have been SO MUCH BETTER ️especially after releasing a poll on the main post hinting towards the new expansion (don't get me wrong I didn't expect a whole expansion) but let's be honest here; a extremely easy boss that we just kill/repeat/kill/repeat for a recolor version of the same vanitys we just spent grinding for just is plain dull, I for one would never have even bothered using my tokens on the store vanity if I knew at the end of the event a recoloured version woul drop from a boss that takes >1m to kill

This could've and should've been better

Better then nothing btw hasent valentines been over XD at least they put in time too give something to the community thank you sts for the event

I don't like it either, but this weak boss gives the opportunity for actual new low level players to make some gold by selling lovecraft chests or get a cool vanity.

The event was released a week after Valentine's Day lol, hence why I said late event

I get what you're saying but same could be said for the candy hearts we just spent a week collecting for this

**octavos** · 03-04-2015, 05:53 PM

i'm happy..its a different event that didn't need energy. So thats all Ill say

**Earlingstad** · 03-04-2015, 05:54 PM

Pleased with the portal surprise.

Cool event. Good job sts. Anybody knows till when can we have the portal open?

**Ardbeg** · 03-04-2015, 05:58 PM

this event is testing new waters. it offers something for collectors and offers opportunities for farmers. no energy mechanic, short crafting time, no crafting ingredients (lockeds) are needed. all in all i would say it helps new/lesser geared players a lot to get gold. and that s a good thing.

**nevercan** · 03-04-2015, 06:04 PM

Look at the positif of it you can get free stuf! Im olways in for free stuf

**Ravager** · 03-04-2015, 06:10 PM

I liked that there was an opportunity for free cool stuff and not so plat-based. No energy either. Sure there weren't too many opportunities to actually make so much money in lots of cases but it didn't cost anything either, free stuff and was optional. I liked it. This way hardly anyone actually misses out on enjoying the event.

**Fyrce** · 03-04-2015, 06:23 PM

I like it. It's much better than any previous Love non-event.

Nothing was better. we lost money from economy. get mocked with wrong class vanities showing up for us countless times. # warrior with 13 rogue/mage sets but no warrior *

Also we're wasting time. Hurray for 'V hearts'

Excellent point. STS is obviously doing a test run of minor events, similar to the purpose of the goblin event. The economy needed a gold injection and it helps non-wealthy players as well. Yeah, the portal wasn't particularly exciting, but I enjoyed the nod to Call of Cthulhu.

I agree with everything said here

Lemme remind everyone though that I don't hate this event, im just saying with the teasers released along with the grind then grind again this event could've been a lot better

Say: atleast a town from the new expansion, a sneak peek, maybe a tad bit of backstory idk

For getting 100k potions and then just having to farm again is dull

**Bellaelda** · 03-04-2015, 07:31 PM

Was a great little free event, but I agree the hype about what's behind portal was kinda a let down.... Wish they had something rare and awesome in the Lovecraft chests... Maybe a super rare chance at discontinued pets like sns (those been exclusive long enuf) or something like that... Just to satisfy all that hype

**Simon Chee** · 03-04-2015, 07:33 PM

In additional, my pint of view is that for those who needs a gyrm egg, I think is better to buy from cs rather than buying frog crates. Can't imagine how many plats a person need to spend just to get the gyrm..not worth it to spend so much plats to get a legendary pets.

Yes, yes I did! Where's my Arcane Deary?! Too funny.

I think it is the hype that ends up being the problem. Like with the winter event. But, they cant go around saying a "Mediocre event and surprise."

Overall I think this is a nice event very relaxed. I don't understand the crate vanities not being tradable, but that's pretty small in comparison to all the good things we got in the last few weeks. I think Ankhs were my favorite.

**Noobx** · 03-04-2015, 07:55 PM

This event is a test basically. If it goes well, they will start doing more minor events. Sts is trying to add more gold to the economy and help spread it throughout, instead of having just one player hoard 300mil for months and years. By purchasing candies players redistributed gold among others and so forth. Also, when you kill boss, you can get 200-500 gold (depends on pt or if solo) so really youre not wasting gold for pots. This is coming from the point of view of a player that has not spent plat, no full mythics either.
