This is just my personal feedback about the Goblin event for which we waited quite a long time
The Good:
1. A very good gold tier pet (which unfortunately only hits one enemy)
2. The gold tier is fast to reach and easily achievable by using the free recharge energies only (good for the free to play players and those who did not have much time last weekend), especially considering that the event is only one week long
3. The free portals/altars. I am not 100% sure about this one, because in the original announcement it said that the relics are one time use only, which is not the case. Maybe it is bug. However it is great at its current state.
4. Nightshade! Bringing back this amazing pet for tokens was a great idea. I does require quite the grind, especially if it free to play, but considering how strong it is, it is ok the way it is.
The Bad:
1. Unless one does altar hunt chances are you will get the 3rd boss most of the times regardless of being gold tier, thus making the grind for NS with forged (from previous events) or plat purchased / gold purchased energy very tedious.
2. This is connected to number one: Bosses and Major Payne in particular very slow to kill, unless you have great gear. Doing a PUG and getting two warriors and two mages all with legendary gear ensures you a fight of 10-15 minutes and this if some of them don't leave.
3. Related to the previous two: in previous events the chances to get a higher tier boss were determined by the first player to enter the zone. In this event it is determined by the lowest tier member of the party, regardless of who enters first. I always liked doing PUGs from time to time and help new players kill the bosses faster with my rogue. Now however I seem to always get the first boss when I do that. This does not promote team play, it creates segregation. Even worse it creates separation within the guilds, as you can and will get the first/second boss even in a altar portal if your guildie is no tier. This is not alright and I hope you would reconsider this and not implement it in future events.
4. Boss scaling at lower levels. I did the event on my lvl 41, lvl 36 ad lvl 16 rogues. It is fastest on lvl 16 (with about 2 m in gear), acceptable on lvl 41 (full mythic with elon bow, planar pendant, para, maridos, etc.) and extremely slow on lvl 36. Heck my lvl 36 full mythic rogues gets one hit by the second boss (Sargent Gunn was the name I think). It has 3600 health. Not sure what legendary players with limited resources who has not reached the cap yet should do. I think they would think twice before staying in the game. Please consider that for future events.
5. This is a bit controversial, but NS and Nilbog not available as eggs. They are both great and while Nilbog could be replaced by pets such as yowie, dova, blinky, gyrm, nightshade cannot. What are new players supposed to do? Wait one year until the pet returns? And sadly this is not an issue for new players only. There are even old players who were/are not able to participate in this event due to a vast variety of reason, e.g. school, holidays, exams, temporary illness, etc. The fact that the event is only one week long only increases the chances of people not having enough time during said week. Please do reconsider this in future events. Imho event pets should always be available as eggs.
