Make the Cataclysms event less punishing!
Posted 2022-08-25 12:32:23 #823472 I've been having fun with the new August event - collecting cryptids is like collecting little pokemon cards, in a fun way. What is NOT fun is that this event is a lot harder and more punishing than what I expected: cryptids will often ask you for absurd requirements, like four succesful hunts, a lot of healing salves (a problem when combined with the lunar event + whenever you want to battle normal foes for trophies), 6 nesting items which amounts to a WHOOPING 60 ITEMS FROM YOUR HOARD IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPEND SC (which, if you buy from Raccoon Wares, is about 600 SC). Imagine being a new player in this event: you don't have your map fully scouted, your hunters aren't very experienced, not a lot of caves (since some quests require cave building materials) and you get absurd quests that absolutely demolish your resources and that you need to have a pay fee of 30 SC to skip. Sure, it doesn't seem like much, but remember that it's like 24 quests a day, so if you don't get lucky with easy quests you'll be sinking possibly hundreads of SC skipping stuff for little reward. Idk this just feels very... unfair? I like events but this really puts a sour taste in my mouth. Not to mention group enemies for some reason don't count for your quests like with the questing snake (i.e get told to fight 2 coyotes, but the pack battle doesn't add to it at all), as well as some explore encounters involving injured animals will take from your hoard without making it clear it's subtracting something. I've played this for 3 days and my resources took a drastic hit, and this is from someone who's been playing for months. TLDR; nerf cryptid quests and warn when encounters take resources from your hoard to be more player-friendly. This would require coding and writing on the team's part.	Saberbites #12300
