Whoah, STS... What The Heck Happened With Ursoth II?
The more I consider the layout of Ursoth II and compare it to past events, the less it makes sense.
Why is in the world is the Platinum Tier reward a Title? Considering past Plat Tier rewards, a title is inexcusable. I don't mean to sound harsh, but this is a glaring misstep on somebody's part. If you're not going to have a plat tier reward, just drop Plat Tier altogether. That would have been better than the pretense set up by granting a title. Does it even come with a gold reward?
Why is Dovabear missing? Fantasma appears to be a very poor successor to Dovabear. Precedent has shown us that STS includes previous pets as a non-egg item that can be purchased with event tokens. Little Bear is included, why not Dovabear? Also, the other pets appear to be weekend-pet-crate level pets, rather than event pets. Tyrannica may be worth obtaining, but post-scorch mythic pets have been less than stellar.
Unicorn Food is unacceptably expensive. One consumable costs 3 energy (kit only)? Why does it take three energy per portal for this boss? This is a massive departure from how things worked in the Goblin II event. The Goblin Relic was a great idea, why did it get changed to something that isn't worth doing more than once? This completely destroys the fun and comradery of portal hunting.
There are many aspects of the event I do like, but I feel like Ursoth II needs an urgent visit to the ER.
