Event number three of update ten, and things are not looking good, kids. This post one is going to make up for the very short one about the Daily Flash event today.
This is supposed to be an event where Silver Sable returns to the Sinister Six for unfinished business to defeat the spiders. Well, someone give us a call if they see her in there. Solus’ face and attacks are appearing for some of the bosses – yet, none are Silver Sable. The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.
The little red banner just repeats the name of the event, which to be fair, is a lot more descriptive than they usually are.
Let’s see what’s inside this mess.
PROGRESSION:
Progression rewards for running 500,000 meters will award you with a grand total of 63 raw ISO, and that’s it. If you have a buff of x10, you will be able to do it in one Great Run. If not, it will take many more attempts than that.
This gets a Fanguide Event Score of just 3. The previous two events scored 42 and 32. No need to elaborate on how poor that is.
LEADERBOARD:
It’s a GRIND Leaderboard - again, of course - which appears to be restricted to the promised 3,000 players. That is something at least. We get offered vials for the top prizes for the first time ever. Not an auspicious occasion, unless the VIP portal suddenly changes to 10,000 vials a pull.
Between progression and leaderboard, there is nothing other than buffs you can do to increase your position. It's so boring, and the third distance grinder we've had this week.
Prizes are:
70 ISO & 30,000 vials for the top 3 places
50 ISO & 15,000 vials for 04-25
Premium Portal & 15 ISO for 25-100
BUFF SPIDERS:
Buffs affect the progression and leaderboard placement.
Legendary Captain Spider x 6
Legendary Spider Punk x 5
Epic Battle Damage x 4
Epic Vanilla x 4
PORTAL
For this portal, the game reverts back to the terrible composition of just the four buffs, but costs an astronomical 40 ISO a go – to help fight for a grand prize of 70 ISO. Someone making the decisions on this must have failed maths class at school, as there is no point in pulling from the portal to compete in this event. The spiders in it are weak and have been around for ages. It includes two epics, which you are most likely to get. 40 ISO for Epics is not cool.
Needless to say, we are not enthused. The least the developers need to do, to compensate for the car-crash state of the game, is to offer events that are worth slogging through the laggy glitches for. Something really great, as an apology for the unplayable update. But no. Just, no.
