After two hours of agony farming ArcanaX I really felt to log out and delete the game at first. I came here to give my 2 cents about your 10TH YEAR EVENT. It is utterly insane to ask your community after 10 years of being on your side and supporting your game by paying, playing your product, to play a celebration event in a way you can simply go insane. It is nothing fun in waiting 5 min and deal 1% damage to a boss that drops in the end 1 slice of cake and 20 points. You need 8hours of farming at least to reach the final tier (insane), you ll need around 3000 slices if you are going to craft grand cakes and God knows how many hours.
That s being said those are my pros/cons about this event:
Pro:
1. Great looking rewards overall
2. 25 player instance is a fun thing (the only thing fun about farming)
Cons:
1.The way you achieve points and tokens is boring, insane and not enough to keep the player engaged.
I underatand you have to make some money but please guys, it is your 10th celebration event. I think is that time in the year when you should be a bit more generous with your community and don't punish them so hard.
I have some suggestions on that matter.
1.ArcanaX instance needs some mobs that will spawn continuously when the boss cooldown is active and those mobs should drop slices (drop difficulty should be similar to Gauntlet instance. Award players with 25 tokens per ArcanaX kill. If you want to get all the rewards for collection you won t be able to do it in the current state. You will need at least 8 hours of gameplay to get 2500tokens this way by killing ArcanaX only.
2.Increase the tokens drop/points for cakes or at least reduce crafting time in half. Waiting 3 hours and a half for one cake is insane (if you craft slices all the way up)
If nothing will change in the upcoming days I won't see myself playing this event.
Cheers!
