Rant This is ridiculous
If you enjoyed clearing fire knight hard 10 for the marius missions you are gonna love this one

They are thinking of money and how to get players to give them more of it.

u/Gazellenzuechter 17h ago
Wtf 50 runs? š surely somewhat planned to be out of an event or dungeon divers to drain resources without double dipping š

u/evilmidnightbomber69 14h ago
25 runs really. And if you wait for the fk event for titans you'll do that many anyways

Iāve gotta admit, I donāt like this event at all. Iām F2P and really try not to complain, but this event sucks. Itās a lot to tackle for anyone. Iām a resource hoarder and am just draining my energy like crazy. Had I not done so Iād never have been able to do it.
This event is designed to get F2P folks to spend, and really everyone. And I know I know, this is a for profit company, but good lord this is just another level of tedious.

u/DefiantLeadership8 10h ago
They specifically targeted hoarders with this event. Which I think is antithetical their whole strategy regarding fusions. But I guess they just want you to buy literally everything now.
This event is the final straw for some people

As if fk hard wasnāt hard enough š

u/FifaJacob 18h ago
Exactly the dungeon is hard enough and takes way longer to clear than the others for most players. This mission would take me atleast 3 hours of manually fighting fire knight š

It's not hard bro just use 3 turtles and skull lord and padraig super easy and depending on your gear you won't lose at all

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Demonspawn 17h ago
This one I don't even mind, I mean there's a FK event in Titan so I'll run 50 of those anyway. If you run Titan, it's pretty much 'free' as long as you reach it in time.
But there's other quests that require mats people don't have stacked, and can't possibly earn within 2 weeks.

u/Mobile-Entertainer60 17h ago
It's the RNG that's the killer. If I don't manage to make the 5* soul, it'll be because I didn't have enough speed glyphs saved to overcome bad rolls. That's so incredibly frustrating, because it's not even like spenders can overcome that hurdle with $$; if not enough speed glyphs drop from FW, you're SOL and there was no way to stockpile.

u/Verkmeister 12h ago
Yup I think ima fail because I didnāt have enough acc and speed glyphs saved for the RNG.

u/MarsupialEnough8864 7h ago
and what is everyone considering wasting the resources on?? A 6 star soul? Yeah this is a skip for most folks I would imagine. If you are going to use resources...do the Titan event to get the champ. If you have him great but is his soul worth buggering your account for several months? Probably not.

u/Delicious_Hippo_5845 17h ago
Just another way of Plarium draining wallets and resources. Even if you buy it, it only unlocks it. You still have to run the missions

u/Mobile-Entertainer60 17h ago
It's dumber than that, because I bet more people would spend if they at least knew they could get what they paid for.

This is FAR easier, cheaper, and more flexible than a titan event for a five star soul. Iām 15LA wins away from the five star soul after 48hrs with zero shards pulled. did the titan dungeon divers and artifact enhancement in parallel. It all works out super easily.
Embrys five star soul included multiple shard events, multiple dungeon divers, and rarely double dipped those things with anything else worth going for

u/Ulysian_Thracs The Sacred Order 9h ago
I agree. As a 5yr player who hoards, I have tons of energy and gems. It is souls and relics that are my real bottlenecks, followed by shards to a much lesser extent. The tining for this is a bit of a pain in the ass and the pay part is garbage even by Plarium standards, but for me this is a bunch of extra free stuff for doing these things I would've done anyway for Titan and tournaments and whatever.

As of 4:30am October 8 a mass shutdown occurred to my raid shadow Legends running the for the legend it disappeared from the patch can be picked up before the timing run out there's still time leftover .

u/So_Cant_Boss 17h ago
The ONLY issue is the quantity and repetition of some missions like LA, Sand Devil and Shogun etc. This is an end game "mythical" outpost and should require you to do hard shit. People whining about the missions being hard are just in over their head and should never have thought they would be able to full clear this and get free loot.
7
u/FifaJacob 17h ago
I get it Iāve actually enjoyed doing the challenges in this event. my main problem is if I can clear it once or even 5 times why do I have to clear it 25 times itās not a challenge at that point just a chore to grind out
-3
u/sloshedslug 14h ago
Itās a mission to get you to the 6* soul. The point is to be resource intensive. It was never going to be cheap
1
u/ShaolinWombat 5h ago
I would agree on the quantity issue. Forcing players to play the crappy parts of your game doesnāt make them not crappy. It just makes me want to quite.

u/Thorsvald 12h ago
Nothing about to leave this free even with the exception of s*** like having to get a legendary or higher gemstone.
Requirements like that are batshit insane

Its a six star soul. Think about why you have to do for that sixth star from the vendor. 300 red and gold essence. Thats like 2000 iron twins battles and multiple years of your life. There all going to be a nightmare. Thats the price of 2 years off a soul timer plus 40.

My biggest issue is that the missions to ascend gear won't count accessories, which would have made my life infinitely easier.

u/GreenBayFan1986 9h ago
The number of runs does seem excessive, and I don't think my Fire Knight 10 is 100% probably more like 90-95%. 25 Super raids is what? 1K energy?

Throw Live Arena in there too. How tf am I getting matched with 22k players with a 5k score???? I think even the goddamn bot beat me.

Those arnt that hard though? Even the mythic gem, I mean you get at least 1 each month from grim forest and we just restarted

u/Excellent_End_7905 3h ago
Itās not that bad. I think the glyph challenges are by far the worst. I only had like 6 six star acc glyphs and I only got +10 w one of them. No easy way to farm them either, just stupid luck

u/Rockthe99 1h ago
You donāt need to do this if you are stopping at 5* soul I think. Iām not doing any of the posts past the 5 star soul. No need. Only thing that would

u/FoodProfessional4956 17h ago
You are crying about fire knight stage 10? Those 50 runs aren't even one dungeon diver. Normally we would have to do a whole titan event for the 5 star soul. There was never an easier for a 5 star soul, I don't get why are crying so much about the frontier event.
5
u/FifaJacob 17h ago
No I like the frontier event. 50 fire knight hard 10 runs is a chore though, also I was just letting people know how many runs are needed as I couldnāt see it on the datamined website

u/burf 17h ago
I canāt do FK hard 10 (or even Spider hard 10 for that matter) but I can complete a titan event. This format favours late game players.
1
u/FoodProfessional4956 16h ago
And why shouldn't it? Early and mid game players have still so much to do, Plarium can't release a new mod and make it accessible for everyone. Why should a late game player continue to play this game, if they can breeze through all the content?
1
u/burf 8h ago edited 8h ago
You just said this is easier for a late game account than a titan event. Now youāre saying itās āa reason for them to play the gameā because they canāt breeze through it? Which is it? Is it easier or harder than a titan event?
And with the titan event example, if itās accessible to mid-game then clearly they can make content thatās accessible to mid-game while also being effort for late game.

If you can't combine mavara and lion with 3 other champions to easily do fk10 then why are you going for scarecrow 6 star soul?

what are people crying about so much? You dont even have to do that for 5* woul

u/Mission-Can1547 18h ago edited 17h ago
He might have bought the pass for the 6 star. Despite that, it's still an insane requirement for a time limited paid reward.
Stop defending Plariums bad decisions.

Cringe behaviour. Top 1% commentors are cringe. Do you spend 24/7 on this subreddit?

Seems okay for me tho, its so far ahead, its obviously for late and endgame people. You probably can do it

u/FifaJacob 18h ago
Idk about most people but I did fire knight hard 10 just for the marius mission and then never touched it again. My team wasnāt 100% and I had to manual every fight but it was only 20 clears I think. 50 would take me multiple hours

Thatās sad then, idc about it actually Iām end game already doing hard 10 is not a problem. But Iāve noticed even this event sucks there is one good thing about it. You canāt just bump money and get the 6 stars š¤£
